"The North Hertfordshire museum will now refer to the emperor Elagabalus with female pronouns.
Museum policy states the pronouns used in the displays will be those ‘the individual in question might have used themselves’ or whatever pronoun ‘in retrospect, is appropriate’."

I can't find any of the Yandere emperor posts. They aren't on the masterlist either. Is there any tag I should be using to find them?
Oh yeah that master list is extremely outdated. Since you said Emperor and not Titus I assume you mean my Emperor and Court Jester Darling Fics. I'll just use your ask to make a list of them.

Our favorite description of The Goblin Emperor is that it's a book where nothing happens and as true as that is, I think if Maia heard that he would tear his hair out

Philip sent Kikimora to Eclipse Lake, knowing it dried up more than a century ago to stress her out and give him an excuse to demote her because he’s possessive about his Grimwalkers being hurt by people other than him.

History is full of famous backstabs and betrayals. Not all of them went to plan and often the conspirators realized too late they’d bitten off more than they could chew.

...they intercepted him in a narrow passage and killed him. When he had fallen, none of the men present kept hands off him, but all fell to stabbing him savagely, even though he was dead; and some even tasted of his flesh. His wife and daughter were also promptly slain. Thus Gaius, after doing in three years, nine months, and twenty-eight days all that has been related, learned by actual experience that he was not a god. (Cassius Dio: Roman History, Book 59)
On the 24th of January 41 AD, Gaius, known to history as Caligula, was assassinated by the members of his Praetorian guard.

Assassination attempts in the Imperial Palace are quite commonplace.
They would usually be followed by his staff clucking about him a touch more concerned than usual for a day or two, and perhaps Vattier would throw a couple of tantrums about his heirless rule, or the failings in his choice of guard.
It is only after Cirilla and her Witcher joins him in Nilfgaard that he experiences what it is like to have people truly be relieved he lives to breathe another day.

Any emperor may fuck his jester 👍
og literally can't if they're dating the assassin/he's still playing house with his arranged spouse. Some fics follow a canon and others can/up to reader to decide.Ooo assassin would do some dirty/petty shit like going down on jester in the garden the Emperor kept up for him and jester as it's where they grew up together. Killin' his ass on every level but physical with that-

A Roman Emperor (Claudius) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema
In AD 41, the debauched Roman emperor Caligula was murdered. Gratus, a member of the Praetorian, draws a curtain aside to reveal the terrified Claudius who is hailed as emperor on the spot. Beneath the herm in the background, lie the bodies of Caligula, his wife Caesonia, their young daughter and of a bystander. The blood stains on the herm denote the struggle that has transpired as well as the setting, the Hermaeum, an apartment in the Palace where Claudius had sought refuge.
