Summary
Set roughly ninety years before the present, a slave captured in war faces a choice he didn't think would ever be hard...
Slight disclaimer: I do not condone what the narrator says, and their actions, words and thoughts do not at all reflect my own. Freisreich is against Rome, to be sure, but its still a very, very unpleasant place.

Something a bit different. A slave goes to a tomb, and remembers their owner. Set perhaps fifteen or so years before the 'present'.

Summary
This one needs an absolutely massive disclaimer:
This is a work of fiction; and the two characters here are not meant to be admired, respected or considered good in any way. What I've tried to do is humanise and explain bad people, not excuse them.
On a slightly less serious note, blame Mossgreen and FrMannerly for this!
Now that's over with...
A slave trader and his son in law have a little chat...

Summary
So I got very, very bored today and drew this - the world some 2770-odd years after the founding of Rome.
And since its me doing this, the slaveholding fascist People's Republic of Rome is somehow not the worst place on the planet...

Summary
Characters unashamedly stolen from Mossgreen, and inspiration taken from a gym class.

Summary
Partially due to the recent, err, events around the world, I've been a bit stuck for writing (turns out a worldwide pandemic is not the best time to start the next literary masterpiece).
This one features character's from Mossgreen's excellent 2770 AB universe, in my own People's Republic of Rome world. (Thing the Serene Empire, but with fewer Emperors and more executions). So I'm guessing this is set in an alternate history, featuring characters from another alternate history. Many thanks, of course, to Mossgreen for allowing me to borrow (again) her characters.

Summary
After a bungled escape and the murder of his owners, a slave has disappeared.
But the Vigilium is ever-watchful, and the People's Republic of Rome does not forgive.
(Yes, its another horribly dark story, set in the People's Republic of Rome).

Summary
I started this series on my LiveJournal about two, very different, Vigilium officers (hence the title). You can either read it there, or wait for the New Special Edition Re-Release Directors Cut (coming soon!).
Anyway, this uses the same characters as in that series, but this is a stand alone story.
Slight warning: This is probably amongst the darkest stuff I do; the characters are enthusiastic supporters of a neo-fascistic slaveocracy, and their value system is both very different too, and worse than, ours. They aren't meant to be nice, noble or admirable people, you shouldn't approve of their actions, etc. Its tagged 'dystopia' for a reason.

Summary
So I fancied trying to write something i) very different from what I usually do and ii) in a different style. I'd be interested to know what you make of it, though this really isn't a typical 'PRR' story. And the tags aren't a joke on my side.
Hora Lupus: The Hour of the Wolf. According to the Revelation, in the End Times the moon will be swallowed by a monstrous wolf, heralding the End Times.
As the world spirals towards Armageddon, a humble valet to the most powerful man on Earth is swept along by events.

Summary
This is very different to what I usually do, but it was an experiment I wanted to try.
Also, for the avoidance of doubt - the narrator is absolutely awful, and my relation with my family is healthy. Unlike his.
