Revival, Emperor Geta ✔︎
The roaring sound of the crowd drummed her ears as she sat in her seat, hands gripping the sides tightly as her eyes remained on the scene in front of her. What was once two men fighting was now one holding his blooded sword up in complete victory, a beaming smile on his face as those in the colosseum cheered more.

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. Power meant nothing when he could not control the one thing that truly unsettled him-Valeria. Valeria Aemilia was no mere courtier. 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

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
