Bookverse: from The Silver Branch in the Eagle of the Ninth Series. Justin is having trouble sleeping in the claustrophobic conditions at Paulinus', and Flavius presents him with a better reason for sleeplessness. M/M.

Genderbender AU. In a world where Roman women fight alongside their men, after all an Empire that uses only half its resources conquers half as much, (see inside for logic), Marcia Flavia Aquilia finds she has met her match in her new male British slave, Esca. After all opposites attract, and in the end they are not so different as they might think.

Marcus, born in a mafia family, has gotten shot by a cop. He's back in Italy to recover. His uncle has brought him a slave, from England. Marcus' father has disappeared years ago there. But because of Marcus injuries, he can't regain his honor easily. So he must set out for England to find what has happened to his father and where the the symbol of the family, a golden eagle, is.

Who was Esca before he met Marcus? The story of Esca starting from the Brigantes conflict with Rome, through his capture and enslavement, till he meets the Roman who would save his life and return what Rome stole from him: freedom. This is an attempt to flesh out Esca more and give us/me the context of conflict and friendship that occurs when he meets Marcus. Comments welcome.

Esca's aggressive personality is an unfortunate side-effect of his past, using his anger as a survival mechanism; Marcus knows he wasn't always this way and is curious about the Briton's experiences of Romans. WARNING: Rape/Non-con references.

How Esca really won his freedom. Involves the sexual motivations of the three main characters: Esca, Marcus and Tribune Servius Placidus. Mix of film and book universe. Please note: while language is not explicit, this story features violence and attempted non-consent.

Esca is an archer. Marcus is used to fighting only with a sword and a shield, so Esca takes it upon himself to teach Marcus the way of the bow. Marcus/Esca established relationship.

Ondine fusion- Marcus is content to whittle what's left of his life away as a quiet, unassuming fisherman, until the day he catches Esca in his nets.

Prompt from The Eagle Kink : Esca as a slave was pretty dark and intimidating at first, emotionally detached. I'd love to read a story about him finding a baby animal in a storm and hiding it in the stables not telling any of his masters. I want Marcus finding out and being shocked seeing scary Esca's softer side, being all careful and gentle, risking punishment to help the animal.

Marcus helps Esca find somewhere he can call home. (Revised version of my original fic of the same title written two years ago.) Marcus/Esca.

In which Marcus and Esca bring Uncle Aquila a gift from Magical Dinosaur Scotland, which doesn't do quite what it's supposed to. An alternate ending to my dinosaur AU, "Beyond the Mists." Gen.

[Eagle of the Ninth bookverse] Guinhumara cannot quite let herself like her husband's new friend. Gen with implied canon Guinhumara/Cradoc (Cradoc, for movie fans, is the druid's charioteer, and in the book, Marcus's friend. Sort of.)

AU moderne. Marcus n'a jamais aimé les tatouages, mais lorsqu'il doit accompagner Cottia à ses rendez-vous avec un artiste underground très connu du nom d'Esca, son opinion commence rapidement à changer.

Marcus y Esca tienen un punto de vista respecto del honor y el amor, originado por el tipo de cultura, sin embargo, ambos quieren aprender uno del otro, sin importar sus tradiciones ni las consecuencias. SLASH

When Esca becomes deathly ill, it's up to Marcus to travel back North to find the place Esca calls "The Heart of the Forest" in order to obtain the cure. Full Summary inside.

There are stranger, more dangerous things in lurking in the mists of Caledonia than Marcus or Esca ever imagined. If they are to find the Eagle, they must first survive the terrible lizards, which will not be so easy if they cannot trust each other. Book/movie fusion, gen. The illustrated version of the story is available at Archive of Our Own.

Marcus is away in town, Esca is alone on the farm when a visitor from the past comes knocking. Will Marcus return in time or will he be too late? Possible non con, and graphic violence.

It is not that Cunomor, Prince of the Seal People, wants to kill his only son: it is that he can see no other way. Warning: This story is not more graphically violent than the movie, but it is entirely about a father murdering his child, so I erred on the side of a higher rating.

Esca isn't doing a very good job of ignoring the annoyingly good looking American customer who seems intent on getting his attention.

Esca/OC Sorta movie verse. Before and After Eagle Film. The reason Esca was ready to give up his life so easily to the Gladiator and the reason he needed to bring the Eagle back with Marcus alive.

This is not a pleasant story, this is not a happy story; this is the story of Deirdre, wife of Esca before they are sold as slaves and the journey they take to find one another again, no matter the distance between them or the things that happen that can never be forgotten. Better than it sounds. I mean come on i only had like 384 characters to describe it! Please read and review!

Esca hears his youngest brother across the shelter, crying into his cloak, his shoulders shaking in the shadows. Pre-movie/book, no slash.

A poem about the adventure undertaken by Marcus Aquila and Esca. Forgot to put this in: I don't own the characters mentioned, the belong to the author

Marcus is positive he saw the Seal Prince in Calleva. He's also positive he killed him. What he doesn't realize is how long a seal can hold his breath. Selkie fic round two: the crack version. Marcus/Esca preslash.

Eagle of the Ninth bookverse. Marcus, Esca, and Cottia build a house and a life in the Down Country. This is somewhat complicated by Esca being emotionally guarded, Marcus being prone to saying exactly the wrong thing, and Cottia being a teenager who's angry about everything. Marcus/Esca/Cottia OT3.
