Wrote part of this back in 2013.

It is a companion to the canon and completed it Feb 2021 and EDITED better June 2021. Still not fully edited, but I loved reading it again and again. 

It's ending is supposed to be a cliff hanger to a potential spin off series I have been writing for years which follows the First Triumvirate, BEFORE Caesar becomes Dictator for life. Still unfinished but I have been writing that series HBO! STARS! WHOEVER WANTS TO PICK UP THIS GENRE. lolAll Rights Reserved

2. The Beast And His Beauty✔️ by kiramcneil

"I'm not afraid of you, Giovanni." "You really should be." She continued to walk closer to me. "I'm a beast." "Then that would make me your beauty." She pulled me into a deep kiss and in an instant, all of our problems went away. ---------------------- After his fiancé is murdered, Giovanni Andiacchi attempts to move on with his life. The thought of his fiancé being murdered in such a malicious manner drives him mad. He was cold and ruthless. If he wanted something, he took it. If he couldn't have something, he destroyed it. He got whatever and whoever he wanted and if you refused him, he'll kill you in an instant. He was a menace until he met Tamara. -------------------- Tamara had a normal life until she met Giovanni. She didn't see a monster. She saw a grieving man. She saw a man who basically lost his whole world. She didn't just want to fix him. She wanted to care for him, but she couldn't. After all, she was just Tamara. A normal girl who was related to his enemy. -------- Started: May 2019 Completed: April 2021

The Scent of Roses || Coriolanus Snow by sunlightxing

You're in your senior year at the Academy when Doctor Gaul decides alongside her gamemakers that the mentorship program should be reinstated. You're tasked with making the Capitol fall in love with your tribute during the 15th Annual Hunger Games. After your tribute claims victory, as well as captures the hearts of the Capitol and your own, Professor Gaul calls you into her office. She's seen your promise as a student and invites you to take on an internship underneath her. The catch is you just work closely with Coriolanus Snow, one of her newest apprentice gamemakers. Something about him upon first glance forms a deep pit inside your stomach; there's something off about that man. While the intention to put you alongside him was to help advance your studies, it's clear he has something else in mind. He wasn't lying when he said, "I'll teach you everything." Set 5 years after the events in "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." Story is for mature audiences only. *WARNING: SMUT* *WARNING: Coriolanus Snow is a manipulative man!* DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters, outside of OC's, nor anything to do with the Hunger Games universe. I will try my best to follow the original plot but there's a lot of gaps that need to be filled.

The Slave's Gladiator by Silverdawn_

When death is everywhere, what will you do to survive? All Hadriana remembers is slavery. Her home burned to the ground, she now works the fields of the estate, keeping a low profile to survive. That is, until she attaches the attention of a famous gladiator. Kind, confident, and wanting her, he whispers promises of a different life, a life free from the Roman's hands. That is until his skeletons, more dangerous and more violent then Rome itself, show their faces wanting revenge. Learning to survive is hard, learning to move on is even harder. However, unless Hadriana wants to find herself buried six feet under, she's needs to learn how to do both before his skeletons drag them both under ground forever. Lovely cover done by @final_girl13
