Gladiator / War stories

[lichtbild fotografie]

Hello folks!

I scrolled through the tag list and some of the previous requests but I couldn't find anything like this.

Are there any stories that take place during war? (I checked the civil war tag, yes, but I was more hoping for some WWII stories if they exist).

Also I was wondering whether there are any stories where Brian's a gladiator and Justin, well, something else (from upper class or something like that).

I'd really appreciate if you can recommend me some stories. Thank you in advance!

WWII Stories

[sandraj60.livejournal.com]

I love historical stories and Lastglances and alasse wrote quite few but I'm not sure about Gladiator fics. That would be awesome to read some though. I had categorized all the historical fics I could find, but they were lost due to an upgrade. There should be a historical tag here.

Anyway, my favorite WW11 stories are Sapphire's but lastglances is nothing to sneeze at. Enjoy.

Kristen's Glory (in our archives) has a 500 BC in Athens setting with Brian as an Olympic athlete. Close enough?

I was thinking of Glory. I didn't mention it because it didn't quite fit the criteria, but picturing Brian as a Roman Gladiator or Roman anything is always hot, so here's another:

Edge of the World

The year is 55BC. Brian is a Roman officer and Justin is a tattooed Celt.

I Have been trying to think of stories where Justin is from the upper class in comparison to Brian, but the only ones I know are not in the 500BC settings.

OOPS! Forgot to add quotation marks to the summaries. Sorry, to all the authors mentioned.
