🫀Guide to Vesperoan⚔️
plus pithy comments from yours truly, strawberryona
This is a full, extended guide! Read the truncated one here!

Introducing the national Premier Duelist, and in second place, his longterm rival and whore.
Vesper (full name: Lady Vespertine Mircalla Conchita) and Roan (surname: Armiger) are the evil lesbian couple that have captured my brain for a couple years now. Vesper is my original character, but Roan's source is technically Some Sword, Some Play (18+). However, I made up so many things about him and about the world in general that he may as well be my OC too. (By the way, play the game. It's short, sweet, and the customization is pretty awesome for queer/trans people with non-cisnormative bodies. Plus, it runs in your browser.)
Just get on with it, lady!
Fine!
This is a very adult story, built on extreme sexual violence. More specific content warnings, if you care: Copious and gratuitous amounts of rape, played for fetish appeal. Misogyny (between lesbians, though), also played for fetish appeal. Murder, gore, cannibalism, torture, all kinds of abuse, and other cruelties. Suicide and self-harm, referenced frequently.
Before you start reading: Your notes. Your thoughts. Your reviews. GIVE THEM TO ME. Please. I love reading them!
Stoic Sword & Giggly Whore The main series. Yes, the name is complefely out-of-pocket. I literally just made it up one day and ended up sticking with it.
Duelists' Dinner: Pretty much THE Vesperoan fic, which codifies their dynamic. Relatively SFW ... keyword: relatively.
The Conchita-Armiger Gallery: Art!
Optional apocrypha: The TV tropes page. Might be of interest to you if you're a troper. Gives a little more context, although in no way complete.
Other core fics
Packing Heat: Also shows off Vesperoan's dynamic well, but it is very explicit smut!
A Dog Sick on Sin: A darker exploration of the ways Vesper and Roan feed into each others' violence. Unfortunately, I wrote it for a litfic class and there's a catastrophic lore error (Vesper can't regenerate).
Try the full lore doc if you're interested so far! Optional, but again, gives more context.
Works I'd like to highlight/comment on:
A Twisted Tableau: My magnum opus. I spent five months writing 20k words. A showcase of Roan's manipulative nature.
How We All Are: Some good old Roan torture porn for the soul. Involves the secondary couple, Seren Zhang-Crawford and Bryn Hassan. This dynamic isn't typical for perv quartet.
Clawing at the Rope, and Without Escape: Exercise in brutality without plot. I like the writing, though.
Fondling the Trigger: sub!Roan content: again, not typical. Kind of wholesome ...?
What's next?
Fics I'm working on! These may or may not come to fruition, or it may be a while...
- Anniversary fic: Vesper and Roan have a special date and a nice dinner (torturing and eating an innocent girl). This is supposed to go with a set of drawings I'm working on, depicting Vesper and Roan in formal clothes with polite company, then in the privacy of their own basement, covered in blood—so I might write them appearing at some fancy event, too.
- Suicide-baiting fic: Roan tries to get Vesper to kill herself. Includes a dinner scene with Bryn and Seren that's fun to write.
- Vesper gangbang fic: ... Sorry. Another exercise in brutality where I try to one-up How We All Are.
- Vesper and Roan kill a guy and have sex over his corpse: No explanation needed.
Final Thoughts
These little freaks mean so much to me, and I hope you like them too! Feel free to play dolls with them. Make Homestuck trollsonas for them, make Pokémon teams, ship them, selfship with them, headcanon their genders and identities—but just please make sure to tell me about it! And pretty please write notes, write reviews, tell me EVERYTHING you POSSIBLY CAN about your thoughts on my work. I live for it!
