Notes: This is for nerodi's History Challenge.

Big, big thanks to corinna_5, pun and littledrop for all their invaluable beta reading. I'm not much of a historian myself, and their insights helped make this story much more true to the time. I really appreciate it!

Also, thanks to Nerodi for issuing this cool challenge. There's a scene in this story that's just for you, Nerodi. I think you'll know what it is, and I hope you like it! *wink*

I'm back! (I actually stayed up late and read it)

Ah, those zany raping, ravaging Romans-- how I love them so!! Lenore, you totally captured the behind the scenes intrigue, plotting, fascinations with Gods versus advances in sciences and of course the depravity of the ceasars. Add in to that fucking meant to be love bewteen Lex and Kal-El, and that's just about a perfect story. The Luthor dynamics were the best part of it for me though-- they are just so damn fascinating in any time period. And I *totally* could buy this Lex, Lionel and Lucas. Mmmm. Yup. ALl good.

Now, there are two scenes which kind of had my name written all over them (in my mind!!!) The near double-team of Lex in the cave (where of course in my sick little mind I'm going "do it! do it!" and then the Lucas meets Lex under the colessium scene. I had shivers.

WOnderful story Lenore (as usual!!!) I'm so glad you participated!


(p.s. I was up late helping Mr. Nerodi with some documents he's working on-- because I am a wonderful wife!)

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. I also enjoy the imperial Roman depravity, and the Luthors really seemed a perfect fit for that. *g*

I wrote the double-team in the cave with you in mind, and that gave rise to the scene in the prison. Because, you know, once you go gratuitous you really can't go back. *eg*

Thanks again for the cool the challenge, Nerodi. It was lots of fun!
