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)

Torn between the steadfast Maximus and the tormented Commodus, she must confront the man who offers her salvation and the one who awakens her darkest soul. But can love survive in a world built on power and betrayal? And will her heart ever be whole again? → This was actually the first fanfiction I ever wrote. I finished it a while ago and decided later on to post it here, partly to share the story, but also to honor my past writing self and see how far I've grown. Since then, I've been practicing and my writing style has improved and changed, still I wanted to leave this story up because it's where I started. Thanks for giving it a chance, and thank you for supporting my writing journey 💕 DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gladiator or any of its characters. I only own my own characters I have created along the way.

The Emperor's Daughter by MaiaLogan

Aurelia hates the arena. She hates the gladiators, she hates the animal fights, the blood, the guts, the glory. She avoids the violence by staying away from the Colosseum until the day she decides to try and save a few lives from dying in the arena. It's there that she meets Caius. Caius loves the arena. As a gladiator he loves the cutthroat challenge of it, the comradeship of the men, the honor of fighting for his country. His desire is to fight as long as he can and when he has nothing else to offer, to go out in a blaze of glory under the open sky of the arena. It's there that he meets Aurelia. When Caius is assigned to be Aurelia's new guard, he's more than distraught about no longer being a gladiator.

When Venus' wind grazes both of them and disdain turns to desire, both find arrangement rather to their benefit. A romance between a gladiator and an emperor's daughter is no match for marriage though, putting them both at risk when Venus pulls them together.
