I'm afraid I can't tell you the author of 'cream's worst nightmare fanfic'. It might be a relatively unknown author who just wanted to explore this concept for fun or as a creative outlet, or it could be a more established fanfic writer. However, without looking into the specific fanfic sources or communities, there's no way to know.
Since I'm not familiar with this particular fanfic, it could be many things. It may explore themes like the loss of something precious to 'cream' which then becomes their worst nightmare. It could also be about being haunted by past mistakes or events. The fanfic might use elements of suspense and mystery to gradually unfold what exactly this 'worst nightmare' is all about. It might also show how 'cream' copes or fails to cope with this nightmare, and what kind of changes it brings to the character.
It could be something like losing a child. But whether it's a true story depends on specific circumstances. Sometimes such nightmares are based on real events, while others are just fictional scenarios.
Sure is. The book weaves a fictional story within the framework of actual historical facts and circumstances related to Rome, making it historical fiction.
It could be about many things. Maybe it's about a mother losing her child in a dangerous situation like a kidnapping, or a child getting seriously ill suddenly. Without more specific information, it's hard to say exactly.
In historical fiction, Rome's worst nightmare could be the invasion of the barbarian hordes. These groups, like the Visigoths, Vandals, and Huns, had the strength and the will to challenge the might of Rome. They brought with them different cultures and ways of war that Rome was not always fully prepared to counter. Their incursions led to destruction of Roman cities, disruption of trade, and a general weakening of the once - mighty Roman Empire.
Since we don't have much information, it could be the mother herself and her child, as the title implies it's mainly about a mother's experience related to her child.
