3rd century Rome; The empire is in tatters, the social structure is deteriorating, and the economy is falling apart. Amid a seemingly downhill process, a fourteen-year-old boy named Varius Avitus Bassianus ascends on the throne. History knows him better as Emperor Elagabalus, the young emperor that reigned for only four years.

After having no real claim to the throne and a military coup devised by his grandmother, Julia Maesa, Varius has an unsuccessful reign littered with scandal. From his religious background to his sexual preferences, with each day he is on the throne he becomes loathed more and more by the Roman senate and the empire.

In this alternate historical drama, the story depicts the first four years of Varius' reign with a different outcome. The teenage emperor's life finds a struggle with his power-hungry grandmother in a fight for governmental influence while also dealing with the dirty secrets of his personal life.

Second (History Plays, Book 1) by kullman

Rose and Swan Boarding School's social heirarchy is disrupted with the arrival of a new student who catches the eye of the star of the hockey team. Can Edward and Gaveston keep their relationship a secret from the malicious student body and faculty? Definitely not. Rose and Swan is a highly religious boarding school nestled deep in the mountains. It's the perfect place to hide, but Edward is about to find out you can't hide from yourself. He had no problem hiding his sexuality, not until Piers Gaveston, his new roommate, shows up. Based loosely on Kit Marlowe's play 'Edward II'. Feels like a teen rom-com. I wrote this as the book I wished I'd had as a teenager, that is to say I wanted it to be a sort of comforting, relatable world, as well as genuinely fun. That said it does follow the basic plot of the play so there are some unsettling scenes. Namely Chapters: 15, and 23 on. (If you think the cover is too gay I assure you it's what Marlowe would have wanted. If you think the book is too gay I PROMISE you, it's what Marlowe would have wanted). Trigger/Content Warning: some graphic violence that may be disturbing to some readers (chapters 21--on, Epilogue is fine). Some teenage sexuality (teenagers kiss, it is implied teenagers have sex, chapter 19 primarily, but all scenes are PG-13 level sensuality). Brief teenage level crude humor. Self harm is discussed throughout (worst depiction in chapter 14). Conversion therapy discussed at length and briefly depicted (Chapter 15). A character suffers from gender dyphoria and is dead-named on page (chapter 20). Graphic violence/torture after Chapter 21. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed.

While Ellion tries to figure out how to convict his step-father, he meets Prince Henri, who decides to help. (This is a short story with short chapters.

Plus, it's all based on true events and you'll become emotionally invested in people that lived 700 years ago.

It is clear characters are about to have or have had sex. Abuse, toxic relationships, and bullying occur throughout. Traumatic violence, as well as deaths of characters. Family relationships and homophobia throughout. Some sequences may be upsetting to some readers, please seek help as needed. *Alcohol use throughout

Bet We Could Make Some MORE (History Huh?) by wonderland_batgirl

Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. *Was on hold for a few months (May-August 2024) during my graduation and moving but new posts weekly starting Monday, Sep. 30!!

Royal Ever After by itsmevickyyu

One crown. Two choices. Choice one: deny, deny, deny. Fake that he's normal. Mask away reality. Maintain a perfect image. Get off scot-free. Conceal the truth, at the cost of a life embedded with guilt. Choice two: admit, acknowledge, accept his fate. Shred away the mask. Be true to who he is. Live freely, at the expense of his family. Annihilate his reputation. Taint his future. What will he choose? And better yet, will it be the right decision? As Prince Nicolas grapples with the reality of his new boarding school, he meets Sander, the boy with the most angelic voice he's ever heard. He immediately takes a liking to him, and the two become inseparable. That's when Sander starts to wonder if there's something deeper brewing than just a friendship. He's never felt this way about anyone before, and neither has Nicolas. One thing begins to lead to another, and soon enough, they're in too deep to back out. A book inspired by the Swedish TV show "Young Royals" on Netflix. Cover Model: Edvin Ryding Word Count: 60,000

Henriad (History Plays, Book 5) by kullman

The heir to a criminal empire must deal with his father's terminal illness, raising his siblings alone, falling in love, and the excrutiatingly painful trials that come with growing up. Since his mother's untimely death, Harry has been fiercly protective of his siblings and the family business, which would be easier if his father would trust him instead of pushing him aside. All Harry wants is to care for his family like his mother wanted, but everyone seems to prefer if he stayed out of the way. How is he supposed to learn to grow up and be a man if his father won't give him the time of day? Growing up is painful for everyone, falling in love is confusing, and family is even more confusing, somehow Harry must learn to navigate it all through heartache and triumph. A modernized adaption of Shakespear's history plays, Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, and Henry V, which is to say shameless fanfiction. Feels like an inspirational sports story. Trigger/Content Warning: end of life issues discussed at length. Some brief sensuality and some voilence. Characters kiss at length on page, sex is not implied. Profanity throughout. Death of parents is discussed at length and depicted, be aware of your mental state and seek support as needed.
