The Emperor's Heart (Commodus) by vagjde

The torches in the imperial palace flickered as Emperor Commodus paced the marble floor of his private chambers. Outside, Rome slumbered, but his mind was restless. Power meant nothing when he could not control the one thing that truly unsettled him-Valeria. Valeria Aemilia was no mere courtier. She was a senator's daughter, raised in the hallowed halls of the Curia, a woman of sharp wit and even sharper ambition. Unlike the sycophants who flattered him, she spoke her mind without fear. And perhaps that was why Commodus could not stay away.

𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐃 || 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐑 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐀 by RenAintNoSaint

"𝐸𝒶𝓇𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝒸𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓂𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈." When treason threatens her father's legacy, 𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐀𝐂𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐔𝐒 is thrust into a fate she never expected-betrothed to 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐑 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐀 as the price for peace. Raised in comfort and love, she now faces a world of power struggles, political unrest, and a husband as sharp-tempered as he is burdened by his reign. As she navigates her new role, Aurelia glimpses the man beneath the emperor, one she might come to understand-perhaps even love. But in Rome, love is dangerous, and loyalty is never simple.

𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕃𝕒𝕦𝕣𝕖𝕝𝕤 (Commodus) by Violet_azul

'𝔔𝔲𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔬 𝔱𝔲 𝔊𝔞𝔦𝔲𝔰, 𝔢𝔤𝔬 𝔊𝔞𝔦𝔞.' He could have had any woman in Rome, but he wanted her. Claudia Julia Venustus; following her father's footsteps into politics. She thought herself virtuous, loyal, in love with her childhood best-friend. But Commodus saw through all that. He saw what she really was: a mirror. Now, drawn into the bloodstained heart of the Empire, Claudia must navigate a court ruled by lust, paranoia, and spectacle. Caught between the man who won her heart and the man who stole it, she begins to question the morals her father always taught her. The tighter Commodus holds her, the looser her grip on reality becomes.

Omnia Vincit Amor by TheKinkyRat

Omnia vincit amor; Love conquers all. This is a story that follows the princess of Rome, the daughter of General Acacius and Lucilla. The future wife of Emperor Geta. - I'm obsessed with gladiator two right now, so I wrote an x reader! Reader x Geta/Reader x Caracalla. ⚠️spoilers!⚠️ ⚠️The reader will be around 19, even though the oldest she could be in the movie is 16, as Lucilla and Acacius married 16 years right after the first gladiator movie. The emperors are in their late twenties in the movie as well. I want it to be age appropriate, so the reader is 19 and the twins are 25!⚠️ (Fun Fact; the title is a phrase in a poem by the Roman poet Vergil. My information is google lol)
