  • Because its romantic. Its character driven. I try to make sure its comedic even when heavy.
  • But romcom tropes are not particularly present
  • A lot of mortality talk and some references to past unethical science
  • I will wrangle the lore of this dingdong webseries
  • Into worldbuilding if its the last thing i fucking do
  • If you think anything should be warned for

  Summary

  Gordon isn't particularly happy about his new roommate, but if he can't get rid of him, he might as well make an effort to understand the guy. He's got a PHD and he's got at least one research resource, how hard could it POSSIBLY be?

  Author's Note: please, god, dni with me or my writing if you consume or create nsfw content of hlvrai, ESPECIALLY if you think of or portray benrey as predatory. I want nothing to do with you if you do or support these things.
