EMBERS // General Acacius ✔︎
"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.
