The Emperor's Daughter by MaiaLogan

Aurelia hates the arena. She hates the gladiators, she hates the animal fights, the blood, the guts, the glory. She avoids the violence by staying away from the Colosseum until the day she decides to try and save a few lives from dying in the arena. It's there that she meets Caius. Caius loves the arena. As a gladiator he loves the cutthroat challenge of it, the comradeship of the men, the honor of fighting for his country. His desire is to fight as long as he can and when he has nothing else to offer, to go out in a blaze of glory under the open sky of the arena. It's there that he meets Aurelia. When Caius is assigned to be Aurelia's new guard, he's more than distraught about no longer being a gladiator. Aurelia isn't too fond of the idea either considering the giant of a man represents everything she dislikes about the gladiator fights. When Venus' wind grazes both of them and disdain turns to desire, both find arrangement rather to their benefit. A romance between a gladiator and an emperor's daughter is no match for marriage though, putting them both at risk when Venus pulls them together. Doomed from the start Caius and Aurelia will have to decide just how much they're willing to risk and just which door they're willing to walk through to find what they desire on the other side.

The Slave's Gladiator by Silverdawn_

When death is everywhere, what will you do to survive? All Hadriana remembers is slavery. Her home burned to the ground, she now works the fields of the estate, keeping a low profile to survive. That is, until she attaches the attention of a famous gladiator. Kind, confident, and wanting her, he whispers promises of a different life, a life free from the Roman's hands. That is until his skeletons, more dangerous and more violent then Rome itself, show their faces wanting revenge. Learning to survive is hard, learning to move on is even harder. However, unless Hadriana wants to find herself buried six feet under, she's needs to learn how to do both before his skeletons drag them both under ground forever. Lovely cover done by @final_girl13

Blend the Light by -Werewolf14-

COMPLETED "What the hell is happening to Arrow?" His form is disappearing in shimmering lights. Arrow is the top Gladiator at the Wasteland, which is an inescapable prison surrounded by miles upon miles of scorching sand and blazing sun. The Wasteland holds Wasteland battles where Gladiators fight to the death, then all of those killed are brought back to life to fight once more. Arrow wins every single one, but he's snapping from ten years of fighting. When two new Gladiators arrive at the Wasteland, and they're assigned to Arrow for a tour of the Wasteland, they start a chain of events that put Arrow's biggest secret at risk of being thrown into the open. NOTE: There are fight scenes with blood as Arrow, along with the other Gladiators, participate in the Wasteland battles. There are also other fights that occur during various parts of the story. If you are uncomfortable with this type of content, I might consider finding another book. This is my first Wattpad book, so there might be some errors. If you find yourself disliking parts of the book, I'd be grateful if you found a different book rather than complaining. Though if you have ideas or suggestions, please send them my way! I will be updating every Friday, but life happens, and something unexpected may come up that makes me unable to update. If this occurs, I will either update early on Saturday, or the following Friday depending on how much I have written or if I have access to Wattpad.

Gods of Death Want Life by MalloryDockery

Wrote part of this back in 2013. It is a companion to the canon and completed it Feb 2021 and EDITED better June 2021. Still not fully edited, but I loved reading it again and again. It's ending is supposed to be a cliff hanger to a potential spin off series I have been writing for years which follows the First Triumvirate, BEFORE Caesar becomes Dictator for life. Still unfinished but I have been writing that series HBO! STARS! WHOEVER WANTS TO PICK UP THIS GENRE. lol

The Pompeiian Horse by GabboDeLaParra

After many years away- fighting countless battles to keep the Roman Empire safe, Prime Centurion Vettius returns to Pompeii, his hometown. During this almost forced vacation, he discovers something he wasn't expecting in the populous sea resort. He debates between accepting it and leaving Pompeii because facing the implications of his discovery is too complicated. Equus the Stallion is a former gladiator living a different life now. He's Pompeii's sweetheart, beloved and adored by almost everyone. Those who don't love him envy him or have even darker motives to wish him ill. Still, he's a celebrity and stays in everyone's mind and heart. When Equus and Vettius discover what they are to each other's past (one spared the life of the other a long time ago), their present becomes conflicted in more than one way, because life is not easy in the Roman Empire, especially when you're at opposite ends of the social scale. Readers beware; this story contains mock battles, emotional battles, and gory battles. It also contains naughty man-on-man foreplay in secluded places and "throw your sandals away" intercourse. All characters portrayed in this book are age 18 or older. For adults only.

All I Want (Remus Lupin/reader) by ProfessorW

This story is a slow burn between you and Remus Lupin. It takes place during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Y/N's second year out of Hogwarts is nothing like she could have ever imagined... romance, tragedy, and adventure TW!!: DEATH, SWEARING, EVENTUAL SMUT, AGE GAP, and MAJOR SPOILERS I DO NOT own any of the characters other than Y/N and her parents. I made up this side story but I do not own the real ones (obviously) :) Highest Rank 5/3/21 #1 remuslupinxreader 7/22/21 #3 remuslupin
