Fic drop! AVĒ IMPERĀTOR is a Gladiator/Emperor AU inspired by @angellilou-art, whose incredible art you see here (used with permission).

Summary: A renowned gladiator known as the Serpent, Crowley finds himself in the service of Aziraphale, emperor of all Rome. Having been ripped from the ludus where he served as doctore, he is not pleased at this turn of events. But the emperor is not what Crowley expected, and in turn, Crowley is not what he seems. How will this oddly matched pair navigate the strange waters of their newfound life together?

Summary:

Coming back to the ludus felt surreal. Gladiator Crowley takes stock of what happened with Emperor Aziraphale and he has questions. He’s not the only one.

Excerpt:

The sun had set by the time Crowley entered the ludus, carrying his armour and making his best attempt at entering the compound unobtrusively. The gladiator could hear the sounds of cheering and laughter coming from the far south western courtyard, where his fellow gladiators were most likely celebrating after their glorious battle in the arena – or perhaps, merely their continued survival. Some would be in mourning. Death was a commonplace occurrence for any gladiator who fought in the arena, and the families or those that knew the fallen gladiators would tonight mourn the loss with various degrees of remorse.

The armoury would probably be locked up for the night, so he intended to leave his belongings in his room until morning. The gladiator managed to avoid most of the other residents of the ludus due to his odd arrival time, and for that he was grateful. He didn’t want to talk about what happened after the gladiatorial battles in the arena, although he did admit to being curious as to the outcome of the other battles. There were more than twenty gladiators fighting that day, some of whom Crowley called, well maybe not friends, exactly, but close to it. He hoped to see them again.

Crowley took the first left after stepping through the gates and making his way through the long hallway. However, he didn’t make it to his door.

“What’r’you doin’?” A gruff voice that came out of nowhere startled Crowley – who absolutely had not been sneaking around despite what it probably looked like.

“Walking,” Crowley answered smoothly, recognising the owner of the voice instantly. Hastur, a fellow gladiator, lurking in the shadows near the gladiator’s quarters. Interesting that he’s not with the others celebrating, Crowley thought. Hastur had been awarded the mixed blessing of sitting out this arena match, due to his previous win a few weeks ago. He was also probably the last person Crowley wanted to speak to right now. At least it’s not the Lanista, he conceded to himself. He could handle the moronic snide comments from Hastur, even if he wasn’t really in the frame of mind for it.

“Pfft, y’call that walking? The way you wiggle your hips like a bloody worm. Surprised you ain’t crawling around on the ground.”

“Someone’s in a mood,” Crowley muttered just loud enough for Hastur to hear.

“Surprised you’re walkin’ at all, Crawly, ” Hastur sneered, “After the afternoon you’ve had.”

We gotta talk about Rome, y'all.

So, the flashback in Rome is pretty much exclusively the only time Crowley is actively short with Aziraphale and it has always sort of itched my brain as to why. When I finally got my hands on the script book it started to make sense:

For the uninitiated, Caligula was a Roman Emperor so despicable that there's literally a wiki dedicated to his atrocities.

Some of the deplorable things he was said to have done include, but aren't limited to:

Ordering criminals to be fed to the wild animals used for Gladitorial entertainment, after having cut their tongues out

Decapitating and butchering several people

Beating a priest to death with a mallet

Crucifying, burning, and suffocating multiple people

Literally having a Senator he disliked ripped apart by a mob

With this in mind, we know that Crowley, despite his indifferent attitude toward his demonic assignments, actively works against hurting people and animals, and even though his dialogue implies that he never tempted Caligula, we don't actually know what he might have witnessed. Still, it's not at all out of the realm of possibility that he saw things that could have straight up left him scarred psychologically.

Though the filmed scene leaves this portion of the conversation out, including his failed rebuff of Aziraphale's company, it's clear that he's in some emotional distress. With this in mind, Aziraphale's appearance may have occurred at just the right time. If he saw even just a hint of the monstrosity and madness of Caligula, he'd have needed some sort of comfort, so Aziraphale's stupid question and temptation for oysters may have been the best thing that could have happened under the circumstance.

Plus, given Aziraphale's ignorance about Caligula (he was there for Nero,) he'd have no idea how badly Crowley was messed up. He never reacted to Crowley's irritation or boorish attitude with anything other than continued enthusiasm for his presence. Demonhood has likely been incredibly tragic and traumatizing for Crowley at times, and, in this scene, Aziraphale was a balm for that pain without ever knowing.

Ineffable Bureaucracy and Ineffable Husbands

So, especially in the early days after the release of S2, I saw and heard a lot of people comparing these two as if they were the same. There were fan comics and fanart and fanfiction that included dialogue that was something along the lines of "why are they so healthy after only a few years and we aren't?" or "why do THEY get a happy ending and we don't?" And I mean, I haven't seen any of that in a while so maybe people have come to this conclusion on their own, but just in case, I wanted to point out

That they are fundamentally different. They are not the same.

And the reason why comes down to this conversation from 2x3:

So, hold this conversation in your brain while we go through this.

First of all, we have our Ineffable Bureaucracy, Gabriel and Beelzebub.

So these are the ones who, figuratively speaking, were born in a castle.

Gabriel was the Supreme Archangel for however many millenia, and Beelzebub was the Grand Duke of Hell for the same, roughly speaking. They are equals in positions of power.

So, when they fall in love, you have two supernatural authorities who have lived their existences believing that they can reasonably expect to have and keep whatever they want. After all, that's exactly what their lives have been (with the one exception being Beelzebub's Fall) - they want something, they get it, they keep it, and no one tells them no.

The biggest risk is to Gabriel. If Heaven were to find out, he would Fall. I can imagine Beelzebub being a bit concerned, but "Oh no," Gabriel probably figured "I Fall to Hell, and straight into your arms!" And I could see Beelzebub with a little smirk saying "I'd look after you, babe," in response.

The only time Gabriel actually worries is when he finds out that there's another punishment that he didn't realize was a possibility.

Falling to Hell is one thing, but having his memories erased is an actual threat, and possibly the first time he's ever been told no. This is when we see him panic, and leave Heaven in a mess, storing his memories away to keep them safe from the Metatron. We find out later that he was on his way to Hell anyway and just forgot halfway there and got lost.

And so, we have two beings who were always told they were Good Enough, who approached each other knowing they were able to have whatever they wanted, and were therefore able to communicate and fall in love in a healthy way. They didn't need to tip toe or hide, because they had no reason to believe anyone would ever tell them no until someone did. Their risk, because of their positions of authority, wasn't nearly as great as Aziraphale and Crowley's risk.

So now we come to our Precious Ineffable Husbands

Crowley and Aziraphale start off in much lower positions on the Celestial Food Chain. We know that they have to be very careful about their relationship to avoid the repercussions. They can't mention The Arrangement out loud, they can't put their feelings for each other into words. It has been made clear to them that they are always being watched, and anything they have can be taken away from them on a whim.

So how can they communicate safely when they've spent millenia living on eggshells and tightropes? Of course they won't, and of course it's going to be much harder for them to believe they can once they finally are safe. I definitely believe that they will get there (for my own wellbeing I have to believe that their love is stronger than anything), but they will need to fight tooth and nail in a way that Gabriel and Beelzebub didn't. All because they aren't figures of authority.

It might honestly be another good argument for Crowley taking the Grand Duke of Hell job (even though I reeeeaaaally don't want him to). It would put them in the same position as Gabriel and Beelzebub, and might give them the footing to actually escape the system (even though I think it's more likely that they're going to dismantle and/or repair the system in s3, but that's my own opinion).

These two pairs aren't mirrors of each other. Rather, they illustrate the problems with inequity that Crowley was pointing out in Edinburgh. And if S2 showed us that, I'm hoping S3 will show us possible solutions for it.
