Summary
Fulvio wants Emilia. However, sex with someone as haunted as Emilia by definition includes her three ghost spouses. And ghost visitations under the conditions of civil war can be, well, intense.
The fic takes place during Nascesti alle pene (Fulvio's aria in Act 2). It is inspired by Versailles 2015 production of Vinci's Catone in Utica (with Vince Yi as Emilia, Martin Mitterrutzner as Fulvio). Emilia's anachronistic lace gloves come from her iconic outfit in that production.
On a related note, Vivaldi's version of Catone has Fulvio hallucinate the shadow of Pompey in Degl'Elisi dal soggiorno (the aria that replaces Nascesti alle pene).[A note on the ghosts. The character of Emilia in the opera is based on Cornelia Metella, the widow of Publius Crassus and then of Pompey; the latter, according to Lucan's Pharsalia, was unable to divorce the ghost of his previous wife Julia Caesaris (Pharsalia 3.30ff.)]
