    Summary

    Few Romans would keep an omega as a body slave if they aren’t fucking them, and Esca is young and strong and appealing to the eyes, even if he is not gentle and obedient as omegas should be. Marcus and his uncle could buy half a dozen body slaves with what they would make from selling Esca as a breeder. Having Esca tend to Marcus’s leg makes about as much sense as yoking up a prize-winning thoroughbred to plow the fields. But Esca is Marcus’s thoroughbred, and he will be damned if anyone else can have him.

      He broke off and looked down at his hands, clasped around the outline of a wooden horse. "Do not mistake my meaning. I am no gentle flower. But the men from the village who fought us - I knew them. Drove their horses. Tested their spears. Both of us had higher callings to answer to, and there is no betrayal in that, but still I remember them."

      He looks back at Esca, face betraying no condescension. "I made many mistakes, did many things I would rather not have, and made one choice I can look back on with pride. It is not such a great thing when you really understand it."

    Summary

    Flavia Aquila, daughter of the primus pilum of the ill-fated Ninth Legion, was herself a centurion — until she was wounded at Isca Dumnonorium and her secret discovered. Nearly two years later, she rides into the wild North of Britannia to learn what happened to her father, his Legion, and its Eagle standard. Alongside her rides Esca, the fierce, loyal, and strangely beautiful slave whose life she saved at the Games at Calleva and whom her uncle bought for her. Beyond the Wall, their relationship will change profoundly — and Flavia will learn what became of her father and his men.

    Summary

    In which Marcus is a historical novelist and almost all the characters are Roman-British historical reenactors; a romance in emails and bickering over historical details, with guest appearances by EVERYONE. (Rating is for a few slightly dirty text exchanges, nothing explicit.)

      - modern au of the book The Eagle of the Ninth, where they're all in a historical reenactment group together

      - (yes rereading this was inspired by the recent thought about jgy and the sca drama he'd love to involve himself with)

      - anyway it's a delightful fic, written by someone who Knows what historical reenactment groups are like. it's exquisitely well drawn and so funny

      - written entirely in the format of emails on the group's listserv

      - includes Marcus/Esca but is about the cast as a whole, really, and I love to see all the different characters making an appearance!

    Summary

    Esca was not a good slave. He was insubordinate, he never listened, and he paid for his behaviour with pain and humiliation. But he was a good son, and he had made a promise to his father: to always respect a debt of honour with another, should he enter one.
    And, when life, the gods, or the blind Roman Fates or the evil goddess Rome force him into an oath to a Roman, his life is forever changed.

    His heart is forever changed.

    Summary

    It took everything in him, but Marcus bit back the scream that threatened to spill. He couldn’t do anything about the way his eyes were tearing up though but Esca held him through it. Something in his hard eyes had softened, and a look of deep sympathy could be garnered through the cracks. There was a sudden scent then, almost like honey or maybe wild apples. He looked up at Esca, saw a warmth lining his irises and a sense of calm overwhelmed him. The sweet scent grew heavier in his mind, dulling out the pain and somewhere in the back of his head he registered it as omega pheromones.

    Or
    Esca reveals himself to be an omega during Marcus' surgery. This will have consequences for the both of them.

    Summary

    Thanks to awarrington for her lovely summary – I hate summarizing my own work! Dr. Marcus Aquila is an American teaching history at a university in England. There he meets Esca, a second year history student, and feels an immediate and overwhelming attraction - almost an obsession. But Esca's troubled past - in and out of foster care and a young offenders' home - has a strong influence on his attitudes, beliefs and behaviour, causing the path of their connection to be a very rocky one. This is a story about two complex men who are more similar than the other realises and whose beliefs have created a set of self-limitations that each of them struggles to overcome in order to find happiness.
