This fic was nearly titled "the nine deaths of steve rogers", so hopefully that explains what this warning is gonna cover:

Steve dies. A lot. So do Tony, Natasha, Pietro, and Bucky to an extent. Steve dies the most in the fic.

This fic is set in a GLADIATOR ARENA, so there is a lot of violence typical to that setting; many characters do die in gruesome ways in the (multiple occasions of) combat. This fic is 20% fight scenes.

The fic compromises of the REALLY GROSS ICKY WORMS from Fantastic Four #600 that bring people back to life, so NONE OF OUR MAIN CAST REMAIN DEAD FOR LONG.

Two of Steve's deaths could be considered along the veins of suicide. Both of them are for reasons of self-sacrifice-to-save-others. If that would be a trigger to you, PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS FIC.

Minor characters do die permanently (including Ellen Brandt and Volstagg of the Warriors Three), but none of our main cast die permanently.

I believe the fic has a happy ending (EVERYONE MAJOR LIVES! including a lot of previously dead MCU chars ) if that is also a concern :)
