AFIY as the HARDBOILED DETECTIVE
"I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun."
PHILIP MARLOWE, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY
A tough, cynical guy with a gun and a lot of street smarts, who solves mysteries with dogged persistence rather than astounding insight, the Hardboiled Detective was America's darker and edgier response to the classic ideal of the great detective.

#should this character trope be rix instead because he's MC? maybe so.#is it afiy instead because i love him and i wanna give him the spotlight? yeahhhhh#by the way in my head corrupt lawyer rix and jaded detective afiy end up falling for each other#as (in a plot twist) they are both betrayed by the flavians#after years of them being on opposite ends they're forced to work together to sty alive#enemies to lovers. inject it!#RCGCAW#romance club#gladiator chronicles#afiy#his baggy suit... his hat... i love him#gc noir au#forced proximity goodness and then they realize how similar their life has been all along–puppeted by people in power#but can rix peel off the layers of afiy's hardened heart? is afiy even capable of love after such a difficult life? only time can tell#he (rix) falls first; he (afiy) falls harder#rix was the sexc love interest all along guys...
