Summary
This is the story of Lieutenant Maximus Decimus Meridius, heartbroken and embittered after the betrayal of his beloved Lucilla, who returns to his old family home in Lusitania to find peace and quiet - only to discover instead that it already has another resident: an extremely annoying, self-confident woman called Vibia, who simply won't leave the estate to him without a fight...
Takes place nine years before the first Gladiator movie, in 171 AD.

Summary
The past has finally caught up with Lucilla. Back in the here and now, the fear for her son's life is so great that Lucilla decides to sacrifice everything in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to cheat both their and Maximus' fates … at any cost. But will the mad Emperor still accept her offering after everything she has done, after betraying him and plotting his death? Help may have to come from the unexpected …
Accompany Lucilla as she returns from her trip down memory lane and hurtles towards the final moments of the movie – but also glimpses into times that predate even herself.A word of warning: This is the final chapter of "Shadows and Dust", and it is by far the one with the most adult content. Read at your own risk and please heed the tags, they're there for a reason, so I won't accept any complaints later.

Summary
While Lucilla hopes to finally bring her relationship with Maximus to another, more intimate level, forces are at work that want to destroy the young couple's happiness. And the consequences could be catastrophic.
This series is a canon-compliant prequel to Ridley Scott's "Gladiator". Each part will take you to another point in the three main characters' past, so they can be read separately - but I strongly recommend reading them chronologically, especially with this one, since the year 171 AD marks the critical turning point in Lucilla and Maximus' relation; in every aspect.

Summary
This one-shot is set after the events of "If Only Hell Froze Over", but you don't necessarily have to read it in that order (recommended though for easter eggs).
As Crowley prepares for their evening at the opera together, he receives an unexpected visit from Aziraphale.
Or to put it in Agnes' words: More than one is not what it seems, the key is under pressure, and a plant will save the day.- Language:

Summary
Prompt from the Star Trek XI Kink Meme on lj. Prompt: K/S. So, this idea kind of hit me out of nowhere. Pretty much following the tradition of aliens-made-them-do-it [only kind of inverted], in which Kirk and Spock end up at a planet where they are not allowed to touch each other [due to religious issues, politeness protocol, whatever].
Summary:
Anticipation was not an emotion Spock had intended to allow himself to feel; yet, it made itself known despite him, and that it was never satisfied made it harder to suppress, each time the Captain walked past or stood near and conscientiously avoided even the brush of their sleeves.- Language:

Summary
***ON HOLD***
When their father leaves for war, Peter and Susan Pevensie are left to look after their two siblings. In doing so they discover a magical land in a wardrobe, and along the way discover each other as well. Peter/Susan pairing, Incest, blah blah blah, Rated M. I plan to keep this series going as long as there is demand for it. Update once to twice every fortnight.Bookmarked by ConstanceTruggle
