Common Pairings
Imriel is not featured in fanworks as frequently as Phèdre is; when he is the focus, he is sometimes paired with his canon wife Sidonie de la Courcel, but is more frequently shown in non-canon male slash pairings. His most common partners are Mavros Shahrizai, Maslin de Lombelon, and Lucius Tadius da Lucca.
Fanon and Common Tropes in Fanworks
In canon, Imriel is a survivor of childhood sexual assault and abuse, and it is implied that he has sexual desires he is uncomfortable with as a result—both desire for men and desire to be dominant or sadistic. Many fanworks show Imriel exploring those sides of himself.
