Rating: NC-17
Summary: Steve is an ex-gladiator. Tony wears a toga. Together, they litigate civil cases. Also a surprising amount of boating
Warning: Slavery.
Author's note: This is Rome-ish AU, which is to say I took a vague idea of Ancient Rome and mutilated it horribly. If you're sensitive to historical accuracy, this may distress you. It's all just an excuse to make Tony wear a toga.


The wonderful penumbren did me two fanmixes, one with traditional Roman music! Click on the images to go to her journal entries for them.

Fanmix 1: Arma Virumque Cano



Fanmix 2: Es, Bibe, Lude




And of course, fic.

This was fantastic! I liked the setting and I loved that it was Ultimatum characters.

The fanmix is pretty good and accurate too. I didn't know some of the songs before and boy, was I missing on good music.

Thank you! I'm very fond of Ultimates. 616 Steve is too well-adjusted for many plots, but Ult Steve is guaranteed to cock up emotionally without someone to talk him through it.

It is a lovely mix, isn't it? I listened to it while doing my edits. :)
