Summary
Taking over the Palatine Hill is not the end of an insurrection, but merely the beginning of a new Roman era. As dust settles, it leaves in its wake triumphant and devastated men on uncertain foundations: what will dawn bring with its first light? What is the will of the people, and how to best guide it when it is known to be so fickle, and so often at odds with its own best interests? How to convince an Empire that it needs no Emperor, when a thousand shadows are watching through the cracks, waiting for an opportunity to claim the throne for themselves?
And what to do with two orphan boys, abandoned by their gods and their people, in this lair of wolves?

Summary
Ten years after Caracalla and Geta were dethroned and disappeared, Marcus Acacius and Lucilla are driven out of Rome into Barbaricum where they find that Geta is very much alive. He is a changed man and Acacius and Lucilla plot as to how they might use him to help Lucius reclaim control of Rome as they learn about him and adjust to living in a barbarian land. But Geta has different priorities and desires now.
Alternate universe, big canon divergence, wherein Geta, Acacius, and Lucilla survived, while Caracalla died. Lucius and Macrinus survived, too, and continue to fight for control of Rome.
Chapter 26 is up! Geta thinks about the two people he loves most.

Summary
They’d find him, crown him, make him king. Aegon realized one thing : sometimes, the best way to avoid something wasn’t to fight it. It was to go with the flow of events.
