A/N: Help! I keep writing Marian! This drabble was inspired by and follows the exchange at the end of this clip, when Marian bans Roman from No. 7.


"Fuck!"

It'd been ages since he'd shattered a glass, but Marian hadn't forgotten the coppery tint of dishwater mixed with blood. Nadja rushed over, but he ignored her. She'd be sympathetic until she realised he blamed Roman.

And why shouldn't he?

"Roman, bitte."

His son siding with him over his lover should have been cause to rejoice -- such was tradition. But then he'd seen it, Deniz's silent rejoinder. "Bitte." Like they already spoke a language their own, unheeding of anyone else, soothing each other when no one else dared.

The bloody water spun down the drain, the battle lost.

Oh, gorgeous! I love how perceptive Marian can be (even when he's in denial) and you've captured that so beautifully here.

The process of him coming around was one of the things the show's done really well, and this adds a lovely nuance to that scene.

Yessss. So lovely. *hearts all over it* By all means, keep writing Marian! :D

Thank you so much! The unfolding of Marian's character is one of the things I think I'm enjoying most about the extended AWZ clips. I love how they built him up to be so stubborn and intolerant, and then started to chip away at it. I can't wait to see more of this.

Plus he's awfully easy on the eyes.

By all means, keep writing Marian!

Drunken weekend when he wants to see what this gay thing is all about, coming up!
