Lucretia Aurelia Appius was only fourteen years old when soldiers ordered by Pompey the Great slayed her father and mother in front of her. They would have claimed her life as well, just for being her father's daughter, had she not miraculously run into one of Rome's most powerful men: Gaius Julius Caesar.

Caesar would take the scared girl into his villa, knowing she was a tool to make Pompey fall in line with him, and she wasn't worth much more... or so Caesar thought.

This girl would turn out to be one of Rome's most cunning politicians, brilliant and fearsome generals and who's name would echo throughout history, using her mind, body and wiles to worm her way into the heart of Roman aristocracy, eventually rising... all the way to the top.

Mine To Keep by syanalimax
34 parts Ongoing Mature
The first time Aurelia Sylvaine Montgaille laid eyes on Nyx Margaux Krausse, it was with indifference. The second time, with curiosity. The third-something closer to possession. It wasn't supposed to be like this. She had been given a task: watch over Nyx, ensure she did not become a threat. A simple request, spoken in the clipped, measured tones of her father's voice. And Aurelia, who had never once faltered under the weight of expectation, had agreed without hesitation. But then Nyx arrived, and nothing about her was simple. She did not move like a girl who had been placed into Montrevalis Academy as an afterthought. She did not bow her head in deference to the legacy that surrounded her. She did not shrink beneath the weight of names older than empires. She simply watched. As if she were waiting. As if she were testing them all. Aurelia should have left it at that. Should have reported back that the bastard daughter of Lucien Krausse was insignificant. But something about the way Nyx held herself-aloof yet calculated, detached yet entirely present-made it impossible to look away. It started as a study, an analysis of how she operated. The way she tilted her head when someone thought they were being clever, the way her gaze lingered on the windows as though she were searching for a way out. Aurelia had seen people unravel before. She had caused it more times than she could count. But Nyx was different. She did not fray at the edges. She let herself be pulled-slowly, deliberately-but only by choice. Aurelia felt it the moment their game began. The first time she took something from Nyx without her noticing. A conversation redirected, a whisper planted, a hand around her wrist just a second too long. The first time Nyx let it happen. She should have stopped. But by the time Aurelia realized it wasn't just about control anymore, she was already too deep. By the time she realized Nyx was watching her, too, it was already far too late.

Nailing Your Dictatress

3 parts Ongoing Mature

You met Julius Caesar and he's a pretty (and devious) lady...? Forty years before Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon, there was another dictator - one who set the stage for the empire to come. A powerful strongman who declared himself the savior of the Roman Republic as he burned it to the ground. What was he thinking as he shattered hundreds of years of tradition to march the legions on Rome itself? What about when he sank the city in mass terror as he put up his famous proscriptions? In the historical record, we are left with only pieces of their story, meaning to really understand what he was like, we had to be there. Modern-day everyman Richard Williams knows little of ancient Rome or its citizen-farmers, praetors, or garum. However, he does know he needs to work three jobs a week to support himself, broke up with his girlfriend, and has died in a traffic accident. Therefore, he's rather confused when he wakes up in Rome two millennia ago and meets a seven-foot tall horned woman with massive assets. Despite his lack of knowledge in this regard, he's pretty sure that's *not* part of history. A very, very, very historically accurate retelling of the fall of the Roman Republic in a gender-role reversed world where the whims of powerful women move the fates of nations.
