   Summary

   Octavia always knew she was destined for greater things, even before she had died and awakened in this strange Rome that she does not recognize. She had tried being a wife and mother once…

   Never again. Apparently that life was not meant for someone of the likes of her. No, the place where she belongs is here, in the army, serving her beloved country just like any good and upstanding Roman citizen. So she may have to skirt around the fact that she may or may not be a man, but this is only a small stepping stone in the large and glorious staircase that leads up to her true destiny. She endures it, adamant on living this second life of hers HER way, the way SHE wants it to be. So far, it’s going pretty well for her, if she does say so herself.

   That is… until she meets a certain blonde-haired cowgirl. Then everything she once thought to be true instantly crumbles down all around her, leaving her stranded and feeling just as lost as before.
