GerriRoman is the het ship between Gerri Kellman and Roman Roy from the Succession fandom.
Canon
Gerri works as a General Counsel at Waystar Royco, company run by Roman’s father Logan. Roman is a young man of delicate constitution, as a child he was mistreated by his siblings who now refuse to admit the fact of abuse; later he was sent to military school against his will. Being subtle, clever, and charming, Gerri seems to get along well with all of the Roy family members. She appears to be one of the few Roman’s friends, the other two being his sister Shiv and brother Kendall, who he has a love-hate relationship with, at times sprinkled with rivalry. It is clear that Roman trusts Gerri and fully relies on her during difficult moments.
After Logan had a stroke, his children started thinking about who could be the best for the position of a provisional head company. Roman and Shiv come to conclusion, that Gerri would be best suited for that role. Roman talks to her and offers her the proposition, but Gerri declines, saying the job would be too stressful for her. Gerri admits that her Baird was once admitted to the same hospital Logan is at, and Roman at first doesn’t get who the man she mentioned is, so she has to remind it was her husband, who is now dead.
Roman is appointed supervisor for the satellite launch in Japan, but he doesn’t go to the space center instead opting for the luxurious celebration held in the name of his sister’s wedding; besides, he accelerates the process so that it could be on the day of Shiv’s wedding. The launch fails and the satellite blows up; Gerri confronts Roman, but he says he didn’t know, which is a lie since he watched it live in the bathroom earlier. Roman admits he is the reason for the disastrous liftoff, and asks Gerri to protect him in case of a lawsuit being brought against him. Later Gerri informs him that the incident led to no human casualties, and Roman is ecstatic to hear the news. Roman and Gerri travel to Japan for a press conference. The two later go to the Hamptons, where Logan names Gerri as the nominal successor of the company. When Roman is forced to go to Vaulter for a checkup, he feels out of place, and calls Gerri who is at a meeting asking her to come over. Gerri is stunned by the audacity, and they exchange insults.
Roman gets in contact with the board member of the rivaling company Waystar Royco wants to take over, and his father finds out about it. The next morning Gerri visits hungover Roman, and tells him to ask her if he needs advice instead of turning to unreliable people. Roman asks Gerri what he should do to make Logan take him seriously, and Gerri advises him take a management course. Roman doesn’t feel well after the night of drinking, and Gerri volunteers to button his shirt. Roman crudely comments on how attractive Gerri is, and Gerri replies jokingly saying that she usually gets such compliments from 90-year-old men.
Roman starts the training program, and calls Gerri to tell her he was barely featured in the promotional video they were showing the participants. Roman complains about the course and jokes that with time he will start acting like an adult, engaging in activities normal for other people like having phone sex with his girlfriend, a thing he will try later with Tabatha, his girlfriend. The attempt goes unsuccessfully, and Roman calls Gerri instead. They exchange insults, and Gerri’s foul language arouses Roman, who with Gerri’s consent, starts physically stimulating himself. While Gerri participates only verbally, she seems excited.
Later the two awkwardly bump into each other at the elevator’s doors, and Roman lets Gerri go ahead, but she insists he goes first, while insulting him once again. Roman and his girlfriend Tabatha don’t get intimate, and that comes up in a conversation at dinner with the Pierce family, as Tabatha calls herself and Roman “eunuch besties”. Roman says she’s joking and that they do get physical, and Gerri looks at him reprehensibly. Later that night Roman and Tabatha try to be together, but it ends in failure, and Roman goes to Gerri to talk about his future in the company. Roma proposes they get on one of their “special conference calls”. Gerri gets in the mood, and immediately starts reproaching him. She locks him in the bathroom, and as she keeps talking to him through the door, he touches himself like that night not so long ago.
The next morning during breakfast Roman’s brother-in-law Tom asks if anyone did anything fun last night, and Roman plainly and openly says what he did. Everyone thinks it’s a joke, and Roman adds it was Gerri’s idea. Gerri says that even as a joke it’s a stomach-turning thought. Later when they’re attending a convention, Gerri gives Logan a tip who could become their potential investor. Roman jokingly asks if this Gerri’s attempt at making up with him after she didn’t tell him about her suspicions regarding Shiv. Gerri tells him that this is a great chance at showing Logan that Roman is capable of something, as she herself suggested him for this role instead of previously chosen Tom.
