I know you said you wanted ideas and I would love to enable the emperor brainrot. I’ve been wondering how Geta would react to women fighting in the games. I know the timing doesn’t quite work out (his father banned them from participating) but they used to, even high class women participated. The movies aren’t exactly right with the real history anyway. Just a thought I have. For someone so… bloodthirsty, I think it would be interesting…
Thank you for the suggestion, I LOVE THIS IDEA OMG! I can see him being so entranced by such a strong woman. I hope you like this <3

Emperor Geta x gladiator!fem!reader, minors dni! masterlist
summary: The moment the older Emperor laid eyes upon you, in the middle of the Arena, he was lost. You were encircled by corpses, every bit of your skin and clothing was coated by the red liquid of your enemies yet you looked divine, so divine that Geta wanted you for himself. warnings/tags: Gladiator reader, sub!Geta x dom!reader, ooc, power play, Geta wants to be topped and doesn't even know it lmao, p in v, choking, description of gore, death and blood

The moment he laid eyes on you, Geta knew he was done for.
You were breathtaking in every way he could think of, so much so that even Caracalla noticed his breath catching in his throat as they gazed below from their box.
He knew you weren’t meant for everyone’s eyes.
Your golden skin, dark curls, soft lips, and doe eyes were of such contrast to the tight grip you had on your sword and the redness that stained your clothes. It was all too intense to ignore so that same night he ordered your master to bring you to the palace.
He taps his foot against the marble floor the longer it takes for you to arrive and Caracalla's cackle echoes in the vast room at Geta’s boyish behavior. Geta sends him a warning glare but immediately turns when he hears Thraex’s voice.
“My Emperors!” He calls cheerfully as a servant leads him to the twin thrones.
He almost forgets to regard Thraex as he searches for you but sends a tight-lipped smile before his eyes fall on your figure. You stand behind your owner, eyes refusing to look away from the floor.
“Thraex!” Caracalla welcomes, throwing his hands in childish delight. “Incredible performance today! You never fail to entertain us!”
“My Emperors I see you have been charmed by this beauty! I don't blame you it's not every day that we see female Gladiators.” He boasts, grabbing your face rather harshly and forcing you to face the Emperors.
Gods, you were even more mesmerizing up close. He didn’t appreciate how Thraex touched you thoughtlessly, his brow twitching at the sight of his dirty nails digging into your cheeks.
The Emperor steps forward and with one wave of his hand, Thraex quickly withdraws his hand and steps to the side.
Geta doesn't even look at him, he is too lost in your confusing gaze. For once he doesn’t see any admiration or even fear in someone’s eyes. It is something different, so foreign and electrifying…
“How shall we call you, warrior?” He asks, his voice surprisingly stern despite his internal feverish excitement.
“Her name is—” Thraex begins but Geta raises his hand, silencing him immediately.
You remain quiet, unsure of what to do. You weren't told you'd have to speak. Honestly, you weren't given much information to begin with. They just hoarded you to the carriage and brought you here.
You give an uncertain glance to Thraex but your eyes snap back to the man before you when speaks again.
“Don't look at him.” Geta reprimands. “Look at your Emperor,” He says and you can practically feel the arrogance as the word ‘Emperor’ leaves his mouth.
“Emperors!” Caracalla yells from his throne but Geta ignores him.
“How shall we call you?” He repeats, dismissing his co-emperor.
“Y/n.” Your voice is strained when you speak but his lips twitch upwards at the sound.
“Y/n… Delightful.” He murmurs as he searches your eyes for something even he isn’t sure.
“Thank you, Thraex. The servants will lead you out.” He tells the older man who frowns. He wasn’t prepared to walk out without a slave this evening.
“My Emperor, um…” He stammers. “She is rather expensive and I-”
“I can see that.” He interrupts and his eyes run down your figure. His hungry gaze sends a shiver down your spine but you try to ignore it.
“She will stay in the Palatine until her next game, that is if she fights again.” He informs the man, finally turning to him, but not for long. His attention was back to you, his finger reaching for one of your curls. “I'll see how she'll do today and I'll inform you. Do not fret, You will be compensated.”
You narrow your eyes, the implication barely hidden between his words.
You didn't look away from him even when the maids hurried you out of the room. It wasn't out of attraction, although you have to admit he wasn't bad, it was because of fear.
This felt like the beginning of a very dangerous game. Being faced with hungry predator, yet not being eaten. Waiting for the blow, yet never being hit…
Never sure when you’re going to be devoured, broken, and ruined completely until you're tossed to the side.
The maids lead you to the servants' bathrooms. Normally, you would feel revolted at how they touch you and scuff you, but getting clean after so many days silences any negative emotion.
It was painfully obvious that they were ordered to prepare you as fast as possible. The uncomfortable discovery of just how impatient the man was hangs above you as they dress you. As much as you want to pretend you can handle Geta he remained the Emperor of Rome. A spoiled, entitled Emperor who is used to getting his way…
The servants guide you to his chambers with hushed whispers that you don’t bother tuning to. You take a deep breath as you stand in front of the large doors of his bedroom, uncomfortable in the thin dress they put on you.
A servant gives you a light push resulting in you sending her a glare but you do comply.
Softly, you give the heavy door a few knocks with your knuckles. You don’t wait much until a “Come in.” reaches your ears.
You enter the grand room and you have to pause for a minute to let it all in. The luxurious furnishing and decor of the bed chambers are a stark difference from the muddy cells they provided to you. It is beyond anything you’d seen before. Geta smirks at your astonishment.
“Come, my little warrior.” He orders, his voice honeyed despite his authority.
“What am I here for?” You ask as you approach him, disinterested in idle chit-chat. As much as the venom threatens to spill from your tone, you make a real effort to sound as polite.
Geta doesn't bother giving you an answer. He merely extends his hand, bringing the back of his hand close to your face, expecting you to comply with his every command.
You hate that he is right. As much as you want to spit on his face you want to keep your head, the promise of living long enough to win your freedom was such a flickering hopeful thought but it kept you from making foolish decisions like spitting on your Emperor’s face.
You eye his fingers, the rings that adorned almost all of them shine in the candlelight. Bitterly, your cold hand reaches for his, and the moment you feel his tender flesh against your lips you feel nauseous but he doesn’t seem to notice, or more accurately, care. His fingers twitch at the contact.
Tender and delicate.
If it isn’t clear by his behavior or extravagant attire that he knew nothing about work, pain, or how it felt to beg for a moldy piece of bread, the softness of his hands made it very clear.
He knows nothing about the suffering that he and his brother put everyone through. Gods, you want to rip him apart.
“What am I here for?” You repeat, dragging each word as if you're talking to a child.
“To entertain me. Aren't you an entertainer?” He answers with a small smirk threatening at the corner of his lips.
“I am a Gladiator.” You correct sharply.
“I see no difference.” He chuckles, stepping back to a table filled with food and wine.
He pours himself some wine, offering you some as well. Although you want to act cold and refuse the liquid looked too tasteful. You accept, bringing the cup to your lips without words. It is as delicious as it looks and you close your eyes for a moment to relish the taste.
“Divine isn't it?” He asks, a pleased smile playing on his lips. You snap your eyes open, mentally slapping yourself for giving him the satisfaction. You nod, setting the cup on the table.
Suddenly he steps forward, closing the gap between you. “You must already understand that I didn't call you here to drink.” He says, bringing his hand to sit on your shoulder, his thumb rubbing your collarbone.
“I am no whore.” You warned, pushing his hand away
His eyes darkened at your words “You are whatever I want you to be.” He says through gritted teeth.
As much as you tried, you couldn’t bite your tongue. “That is what you believe, huh?” You begin, a dry chuckle leaving your lips. “You think we are ants in your Empire?”
He tilts his head, eye twitching. He starts at you as if trying to figure out what he should do to you. The taste of defiance from someone like you was far beyond what he had anticipated for this meeting…He isn’t sure why but it left a sweet aftertaste. Intoxicating is the only word that comes to mind.
Soon enough he snaps out of this mind-fogging haze and grabs your arm harshly. You don’t even flinch, it couldn’t compare to the hardship you had gotten through in the arena.
“Have you forgotten who you’re speaking to?” He warns, voice breaking in a mix of surprise and fury.
Something compels you in that moment. Is it anger after seeing the lavish life he has while you were rotting away in a cell? Is it a surge of power after bashing the Emperor himself?
You grab his wrist, your grip tight and unforgiving. His eyes widen, glancing between your hand and eyes.
You can’t help the smirk that falls upon your lips when worry flashes in his eyes. It was only for a second but you have seen it too many times to miss it. You don’t miss the way he didn’t pull away either.
A small breath slithers past his lips as he stares down at you, the darkness in his eyes almost gone in the candlelight.
“You’ve brought me here to claim me…You think you can?” You tell him and his look alone was worth your possible execution.
“You dare underestimate me, you worthless—”
“I can snap your wrist like a twig” You interrupt him with a chuckle.
He raises an unconvinced brow.
You convince him just fine with a calculated press of your thumb against his bone. He hisses in pain but he doesn’t pull his hand back.
“But I think you would like that, My Emperor,” You tell him with a wicked smile. It is barely above a whisper but it’s enough to make Geta’s breath catch in his throat. “All you have to do is ask…”
You can’t believe it. Emperor Geta, the ruthless and heartless Ceasar looking at you like he was about to kneel and kiss your feet if you let him, have his head if you wished for it.
“Can you—” He begins the words catching in his throat, shame catching up to him faster than his words could leave his mouth. “Join me tonight?” He finally manages to say, his voice uncharacteristically soft.
Something warm spreads across your chest and your fingers twitch around his wrist before ultimately loosening your grip.
He lets you guide him to the bed without a word. He doesn’t even look back, his eyes already too foggy with desire. Once the back of his legs meet the edge of the bed, he lowers himself.
Geta’s breath fans your stomach, and the thin material of your cloth barely covers you and you shiver. His hands ich to reach for you, to wrap his hands around your waist and drag his lips all over your skin like a starved man but he restraines, looking up at you through his lashes.
Your smirk grows wider at his obedience.
Your hand snakes up his arm and rests on his throat and he groans, a sound dangerously close to whimper. Shame washes over you when you find your thighs pressing together at such a pitiful sound.
“My Emperor, did you know…” You begin and Geta forces himself back to reality at the sound of your voice. “That if you slice this little vein, right here—” You murmur while gently running your thumb on a prominent vein in his throat, your tone soothing completely unsuitable for your words. “Death will find you slow and painful…Such feeble beings we are…”
“Have you ever done it?” He asks, nearly innocently. “Given someone a slow and painful death?”
“You would’ve known.” You sneer, your mocking laugh making his cheeks burn.
So you have noticed him looking at you, even when the fight was long finished and you were resting against the burning sand, bodies gushing with blood surrounding you.
His hand creeps up your arm, A silent plea for you to give him what he wants. So you do.
You squeeze your fingers around his throat making him gasp in surprise. The breathy moan that escaped his lips tell everything you need to know and you press your fingers tighter, your nails digging into his incredibly soft skin.
He throws his head back, gasping desperately. His hand slides down to his stomach but before he could move any further you grab his arm, pinning it against the mattress.
Has he ever felt this weak, this vulnerable? You hoped the answer was no. How could you imagine anyone else seeing him in such a state?
He snaps his eyes open, half-lidded eyes staring back at you with such desperation that you had to resist the urge to give up on whatever this little game was and just sink on his dick already.
“You are enjoying yourself, my Ceasar?” You mock but he doesn’t notice the ridicule in your voice, perhaps he is too used to his enjoyment being everyone’s concern. His answer comes in an eager nod.
Your gaze travels down his body, your eyes lingering on him longer than you would ever admit.
Your eyebrows shoot up when you notice the tent in his toga.
You could see he likes it but not that much.
Without much thought you climb the bed, the mattress dipping under your knees as you cradle his lap.
“Mmm…” You purse your lips to stop the sounds that threaten to spill from your lips when you feel his hardness press against your clothed core.
His mind is too far gone, too deprived of oxygen to understand much; he could only whimper softly at the friction.
His breaths come more shallow than before and his hand grips yours.
It would be so easy to just squeeze. He wouldn’t even scream, how would he when all the oxygen was stolen from his lungs?
Nonetheless, you release your grip no matter how tempting the idea is.
He gasps for air, his hand coming to rub his throat, throwing his head back with a long sigh, desperate to fill his lungs again.
Once he finally realizes the position that you've arranged yourself in, his other hand comes to your thing, squeezing lightly as if to ground himself.
You hate that you welcome the action, his warm hands feel begrudgingly pleasant on your skin.
You let him come back to reality, waiting until his chest moves slowly again. He wet his lips with his tongue as his eyes try to focus and for the first time, you notice the tears that sit on his lash line.
You want to taunt him, to call him every degrading name that sat on your tongue moments ago but you simply can’t. Not when he looks at you like he would break apart at any moment. No—when he looks at you like he wants you to break him apart.
So you do the next best thing you can think of, or more accurately, your body can think of. You roll your hips forward, earning a gasp from the both of you.
Both his hands fly to grasp your thighs tighter as you repeat the motion and again until he shakes under you, throwing his head back with a whine.
“I—I want you.” He rasps between soft moans, his voice soft and pleasing.
You pause contemplating for a moment if you should do it the easy way. You have to laugh because why would you?
“You want me?” You repeat with a taunting giggle, grabbing his jaw between your fingers, and forcing his gaze to meet yours.
“Yes.” The word comes out in a quick, desperate breath, so fast that it makes your mocking smirk falter for a moment.
“How pitiful. Imagine the Senate seeing you like this. Bet you'll lose what little respect they have for you.” You snicker, running your thumb over his cheek. His only response was digging his nails into the flesh of your thigh.
His reddened eyes blink rapidly but you can still notice the blown-out pupils when you untie his robes, deliberately taking your time. You suppress a smile as he shifts uncomfortably.
Once you finally unbit the belt of his luxurious robe, you toss it to the side completely bypassing the worth of the material. You try to ignore the sudden shake that took over your fingers as you carefully move away his robes, revealing his finely muscled body.
His leaking cock springs up, laying against his stomach and you felt even more self-conscious by simply looking.
A small prideful smile creeps to his lips. You send him a warning glare but he seems to gain his confidence rather quickly, not missing the opportunity to gloat over your little slip-up.
He sits up, the cheeky smile never leaving his lips. “Are you enjoying yourself, my little warrior?” He taunts your previous words.
You narrow your eyes, squeezing his face between your fingers in irritation but his smirk doesn’t falter until you move your hands to your own belt. His tongue runs across his bottom lip, nearly salivating at the thought of your naked body.
You pull your dress over your head hastily revealing your naked body to the man. His gaze explores you with a starving intensity. His hands quickly reach for your flush skin but you swat them away.
Geta is about to send you an irritated look but you are quicker, grabbing a handful of his hair and yanking his head back.
He groans and despite his momentary surge of confidence, he doesn’t do anything to stop you but rather bites his lip to stop any embarrassing sound from escaping.
“So spoiled.” You spit out, pulling harder on his locks.
That little motion seems to break him apart completely as a breathy moan reaches your ears.
“Do you really want me?” You murmur and he nods but that doesn't satisfy you.
Why should it? You want to hear him beg and cry for you, swallow his pride completely under the promise of pleasure.
You yank his hair harder, making him huff in surprise louder.
“Yes, I want you. I really want you.” He manages to say through rugged breaths. “...my lady.”
“Good.” You say and you can see something flicker in his eyes at the sudden praise.
You let go of his hair and rest your hands on his shoulders. With a small push, you lift your bare body from his. Your hand finds his member, aligning it to your entrance and he chokes. You run his tip between your folds making both of you exhale at the feeling.
With a deep breath, you slowly sink down his length. No matter how much you try to keep quiet you simply can't. You can’t help the lewd moans at the burning sensation alongside Geta who hugs your waist, pressing his face between your breasts.
You should've pushed him away, you really tried to make yourself do it. But instead, you run your fingers through his unruly hair, the pleasure too mind-numbing for the both of you to keep up with this game.
Geta doesn’t miss the opportunity to taste you, kissing and licking your skin hungrily. It started between your breasts, his teeth grazing your skin with every kiss.
His eagerness sends shivers down your spine and a loud moan leaves your mouth when his lips latch onto your nipple, catching it between his teeth and circling it with his tongue.
His hips buckle, drilling his cock deeper into your creamy folds. You moan loudly, grasping his shoulders.
He pauses for a moment, expecting punishment but when all you do is cry out in pleasure his lips curl, his smile mirroring one of a crazed man.
It is for the better that you don’t see the delight on his face. You would never forgive yourself after seeing the pleasure he took in seeing you like this.
Geta’s pace quickly deteriorates into something primal and desperate. Something so uncontrollable that even you couldn't stop. But even if you could, you doubt you would.
Your nails rake his back with every forceful slam and you cry out when his tip grazes that spongy spot inside you, legs shaking in pleasure.
“Oh! Oh— Gods!” You moan, sinking your nails into his back.
With a groan, he releases your nipple from his mouth and raises his head, his blown out eyes falling on your face.
You meet his hungry gaze but only for a second before your eyes travel to his spit-covered lips and without much thought, you grab his hair and pull him to you, slamming his lips on yours.
He doesn’t miss a beat and kisses you back with the same insatiable hunger that fills your chest.
You claw and bite and kiss him like he was your last meal. And he possibly is because once the fog of lust wears off he will surely command a public execution.
Your lips part in a silent moan, lost in bliss at the violent orgasm that just hit you harder than you’ve ever experienced. Your walls flutter around his twitching dick and he whines at the feeling. He comes with a loud moan, lips pressing against you as he spills his seed deep inside you. He pushes you close, pressing your chest against his face as you both breathe heavily.
He murmurs something against your skin but you ignore him. You will later find out that it was a quiet promise, not to you but to himself; to keep you as close as he could even if it meant stopping the following games altogether, even if it meant locking you somewhere only he could see you.

a/n: This was a PAIN to write. I was left suffering. I hope you like it and i'm REALLY sorry for delaying this for so long! I think I had such a hard time because 1) sub!Geta feels so out of character and I tried to make this as in character for him and 2) I had no time to write cuz of all the family dinners.

I like to think Eddie went back to Tennessee when he died.
Woke up, all scraped knees and overalls, a bit confused when the gravel of the upside down was suddenly replaced with the softest, greenest grass he’d ever seen. Even more confused when he lifted up his hand to shield his eyes and saw that he’d suddenly grown smaller- no tattoos, no rings. No Hawkins. No Hellfire. Just him, and his little trailer out in the distance.
And I bet he’d ran so fast to it, swinging open the door and seeing his Mom there, reclined on the couch with her blues records lazily spinning. No Al- just her, with her perfect smile and her fruity perfume, and her southern twang he’d forgotten after years and years of memories fading. But he’s revitalized, reminded, when she laughs, and it echoes perfectly- like music.
Maybe he’d stay there forever. Drinking down pop while he read his comic books, eating the fruit his momma cuts up for him and feeling the juice drip down his chin, living forever in an odd, floating memory.
And he’d fall asleep in her lap while she sang him Dolly. He’d sworn he hated country, but now? All little again? Head in the lap of his mama? He’d be content to hear it again, and again.
I think Eddie went back to Tennessee when he died. I think he rolled in the grass, and looked out at the mountains. I think he felt the warmth of the big summer sun on his skin, and the prickle of the grass on his feet, and heard those country records, and knew that he’d be alright if he just let go.

i’m so tired of being in a room full of people and yet still feel so lonely. none of my peers at work make an effort to talk to me or include me in conversations. i’m like a ghost in the room, just haunting the edges. i want to connect with people but it’s so out of reach. the spectrum can be so isolating. i’m so tired.
