Summary
Horatius is a man well-equipped to handle adversity. He learned long ago that the world is a harsh place, and he has no expectations otherwise. Happiness doesn't come from the external, but from the internal: from cultivating virtue, from doing what is just, from the discernment of what is and isn't in one's control, from moderation and courage and perspective. He knows how to find contentment. How to reconcile with fate.
The problem is, he keeps getting his fate wrong.
But in fairness, mortals can't be expected to anticipate the intervention of gods and oracles - especially when the oracle involved defies all definition.
AKA: How Horatius comes to ask a woman he's met only twice to be with him. Companion piece to 'Finis Vitae Sed Non Amoris.'

Summary
Malleolus finds a way around the Golden Rule and delights in tormenting Iulia. But when he tries to involve his bodyguard, Domitius, in his crude games, the ex-gladiator is having none of it. With time quickly running out, Domitius must get his hands on a thousand denarii to free Iulia from her bondage. Yet he's not the only one in the city with a grudge. More than a few citizens are willing to foil Malleolus's plans, particularly if it means swindling a certain unpleasant barmaid in the process.
Alternate storyline in which Iulia is not driven to suicide, and Aurelia finally gets what's coming to her.
