Line 44:
The most common portrayal of Eric in fanfiction is similar to canon—the slave-driving boss who, inadvertently or deliberately, comes between Helen and her family.
Many stories play up Eric's attraction to Helen, though there are very few, if any, Helen/Eric shippers. Those shippers almost always fixate on a relationship that is purely physical in nature, as Eric has never demonstrated any inclinations towards romance in these fics. "[[The Cell]]" is a rare exception, though seen from Jake's view.
Harriet Schrecter was introduced in the [[John Lane]] series as Eric's patient, but also carefully manipulative, wife.
In stories featuring [[Jim Vitale]], Eric is portrayed as an groveling incompetent unfit for the most important activities of the firm. Vitale generally keeps him around as a verbal punching bag, and always refers to him as [[Asshat]], rather than by his given name. Other fanfic partners, such as [[Richard Riordan]], also treat him with disrespect.
