"On my signal, unleash hell!"

"Have I missed it? Have I missed the battle?"
"You have missed te war."

"Galleria, is it really you?"
"Giamono!"

"If only you were a man."

"What a Caesar you would've made."

"Are you not entertained?!"

"Today we saw slaves become more powerful than the Emperor of Rome!"

"What happened to the man I loved?"

"And it bit her, right in the heart..."

"What have you been doing, you busy little bees..."

"Are you in danger of becoming a good man, Proximo?"
"Hah!"

"Shadows and dust."

"Lucius will stay with me now. And if his mother so much as looks at me in a manner that displeases me, he will die. If she decides to be noble and takes her own life, he will die. "

"And as for you, you will love me as I loved you. You will provide me with an heir of pure blood, so that Commodus and his progeny will 
rule or a thousand years."

"AM I NOT MERCIFUL!"

"Smile for me now brother." [Stabs him]

"There was once a dream that was Rome!"
"We believed in it once! Let us believe it again."

"I'm not a fighter, and I'm certainly not a revolutionary. I'm just a healer." Adriana once fought for her life in the Colosseum. When she finally laid down her sword, she swore never to pick it up again. Now a healer, she keeps her head down, tending to the wounded and trying not to draw attention to herself. But when she's pulled into a brewing rebellion she never meant to join, Adriana is forced to confront a past she thought she'd left behind─and a future that demands more of her than she is willing to give. But, then she meets Acacius─a Praetorian guard, whose belief in a freer Rome is unshakable. And to Adriana's frustration, so is his belief in her. She's spent years avoiding the fight, haunted by what it cost her the first time. But, Acacius sees the fire she's tried to smother, and Adriana starts to wonder if survival is still enough... or if it's time to fight for something more. "I never asked for this rebellion, but I don't see any other way. If we don't fight, what's left for us?" ── STARTED: 17/11/2024 FINISHED: 28/05/2025 ── 🏆ACHEIVEMENTS🏆 4 in #thelastofus 1 in #pedropascalfanfiction 4 in #gladiator2 10 in #paulmescal 3 in #pedro 1 in #generalacacius 1 in #regularupdates 1 in #denzelwashington 9 in #mandalorian 7 in #pascal 3 in #pedropascal 10 in #firstperson ── ⚠️WARNING⚠️ mature themes, including coarse language, sex, graphic depictions of violence and death.

It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more. Enjoy the roller-coaster, you are locked in... - Potential PTSD triggers! - BDSM themes! - Mentions of rape. - Mentions of abuse. - Mentions of torture. - Gun play! - Knife play! - Dark kink! (Warnings will be put at the beginning of potential trigger chapters)
