TomGreg

TomGreg is the slash ship between Gregory Hirsch and Tom Wambsgans from the Succession fandom.

Season 1
Tom becomes a mentor figure to Greg in the very first episode of the show when Greg moves to New York after being fired from his job. Tom offers to bring Greg under his wing in the hospital after Logan's stroke, to which Greg promptly accepts to. Tom brings Greg to his first meeting at Waystar after Greg is nearly sent out by the lobby receptionist after having no record of employment in the system, and then when Tom needs a trusted confidant to shred court documents for him, promptly calls Greg. Tom invites Greg to dinner as a thank you for him shredding the documents, unaware Greg had actually secretly made copies of the most important pages where Greg mentions to Tom of the Vote of No Confidence that Kendall is secretly planning against his father, something that Tom was not clued in on.

During the preparation day of Tom's bachelor party, Greg asks Logan if he could possibly work in a less hostile work environment, and Logan realizes he is talking about Tom. On the day of the wedding, Greg informs Tom of his suspicions that Shiv is having an affair, to which Tom begins promptly shoving him and they begin to tussle in the snow. Greg confesses to Kendall of Tom's paper shredding and the copies Greg is keeping, and Kendall agrees to give Greg a better position at Waystar in exchange.

Season 2
Greg meets with a book editor that wants information on Logan, but gets scared as soon as she begins prodding for details and leaves. Logan then quickly learns someone in his inner circle had met with the journalist and Greg confesses to Tom that it was him and begs him to keep the secret and Tom instructs him to tell no one else of these actions. A furious Logan then later at dinner forces both Tom and Greg as well as Karl, another one of his workers to get on their hands and knees and fight for a sausage as one of his humiliating mind games to get the mole to confess and Tom staying true to his word, doesn't rat him out, to which Greg then thanks him the next day.

Greg is promoted to executive assistant for Tom at ATN. A gunshot goes off in Waystar and Tom and Greg scuttle to a nearby panic room to meet with the Roy siblings who had also evacuated, but then realise they have been escorted to an entirely different panic room and the Roy's are on the other side of the building securely protected from the presumed shooter. Whilst in the panic room, Greg confesses to Tom that he would like a business open relationship, to which Tom breaks down at and begins throwing water bottles at him screaming that he "won't let go of what is mine." before finally calming down. Tom will be addressing the public outcry of the Waystar Cruise allegations and upon hearing that Tom's slogan has been rejected, Greg runs through the rain to find and inform him. They come up with a new slogan together and Greg claps for his friend as he delivers his speech.

Tom threatens Greg when hearing of the documents he preserved, and says he's going to be spending the night with him and they'll walk to work together. Greg gives him the papers and they burn them together, but Greg manages to stuff a few pages in his back trousers when Tom leaves momentarily to retrieve matches. Tom is then needed to testify for congress in relation to the cruise allegations and in a nervous panic denies knowing who Greg is, to which it's then brought up how he had emailed Greg 67 times with the infamous title each time of "You can't make a tomlette without breaking some greggs." in one evening.

On the family yacht next morning, Tom is seen as the most logical choice to be sent to prison as a sacrifice following the allegations, with Greg also added as a possible candidate to be joining him.

Fanon
TomGreg is the most popular ship for both characters and overall the most popular ship within the Succession fandom as a whole. It's frequently commented upon that Tom and Greg seem to have a healthier romance than Tom has with his actual wife, and Greg's official page on the Succession Wiki had him briefly listed as the wife of Tom Wambsgans. In the series finale of the show, it's revealed Tom had made Greg the highest paid assistant in human history with a $200k salary, further detailing just how fond Tom is of Greg. Tom takes an interest to Greg in the very first episode, likely sympathising with how downtrodden Greg is by the Roy Family and also feeling like an outcast himself. Tom is the only member of the family who seems to actually genuinely like Greg instead of constantly degrading him and it's arguably the most genuine relationship in the show, albeit still being somewhat twisted in a sense.
