burke is a dog and vicki is a dog and roger is a cat. if you care
#the rvb au is so good you guys#it makes vicki and burke’s relationship so distinct because it’s founded on a mutual hungry loyalty#Burke extends kindness out to vicki — offers her food; shelter; a name — and he earns undying loyalty and love and respect#likewise: burke will protect vicki at all costs. in both the sense that he will bare his teeth and hunt and drag the corpse home for her#(or various violations of the law and standard codes of ethics for profit)#but just as or more importantly she will never be lonely. she always has a companion. At her side — or lying at her feet.#and roger. well. would they leave a soggy wet kitten out on the doorstep?#even if he scratches? even if (especially if) he bites?#vicki and burke have the marriage; their promises are iron-clad. the leash is voluntary but they are wearing one.#and they come when they call each other’s name.#roger has no such promises or bone deep loyalty; he stays because he wants to; because they want him to;#because they pet him so nicely — because he purrs so prettily.#because there’s still love when he’s curled up in their laps.#it’s just a different kind.#and the teasing? Conflict? between burke and roger but vicki and roger too#it’s not *not* real fighting … but it’s also not *not* play#➤ roger collins & victoria winters & burke devlin. ┊ to know how it ends‚ and still begin to sing it again.
