I have too many kids

Niece of Numa Pompilius, Marca Pinaria Corva expects to be married off for political gain for her uncle. And so it is, when she finds herself married to Titus Antonius, the son of a wealthy patrician. It doesn’t go quite as she expected, when he willingly gives her more leeway than she ever expected----even going to far as to commission a set of armor for her.

Gladiator AU, with Titus and Marca meeting at a ludus. Titus, quiet and being there because he needs to get rid of a debt incurred due to a mistake in trusting the wrong person while out on campaign. Marca there because her disgraced father, in a desperate bid to gain funds to run for public office again sells his only daughter to the ludus. Both are referred to as “Mar’s Favored”, due to the fact that together neither have lost a single bout.

Tari hates being in public. she hates the crowds and the noise. she spends her time curled up, safe in one of Stella's many homes, or out on her own. she comes and goes as she pleases, leaving signs of her presence and easing the tension in Hesperia's chest. it's not rare that they spend time together, but Hesperia holds it all close to her heart because it's soft and warm and gentle, no matter how long she's been away
