EMBERS // A Gladiator II Fanfiction ✔︎
"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.

Omnia Vincit Amor
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)Complete

As alliances shift and the shadow of Caracalla's madness grows, Claudia and Geta share a bond that offers fleeting solace in a world built on violence and ambition. But in Rome, even love is a liability, and every triumph demands a sacrifice. As the empire hurtles toward betrayal and bloodshed, Claudia and Geta must confront the cost of their choices in a city where loyalty is a dangerous game-and survival is never guaranteed.Complete
The Emperor's Heart (Commodus)
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.

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.Complete
