Summary: The son of the man who lost the Eagle of the Ninth would never be allowed a first command of his very own fort, would he? Marcus is posted not to Isca Dumnoniorum, but to a wretched and run-down garrison north of the Wall. There he finds that he is the new centurion of a group of scouts and spies, all of them British. He has few supplies and no experience. His men distrust him. His superiors despise him. His second-in-command is an incompetent drunkard. And the local tribes are determined to kill all of them. But the worst thing of all is one of Marcus' soldiers. He is an enigmatic, dangerous, and insubordinate man by the name of Esca, who makes Marcus yearn for terrifying things he has never before wanted and can never, ever let himself have...

Hey so y'all remember when I was writing this Escus Modern Gay Horse Farm AU like a million years ago and then life stepped on me? Well GUESS WHAT, I AM BACK BABY!!! And chapter 9 is a GO.
It's a nice, long chapter, so long I actually had to split it up into two parts, but the second part is finished and just undergoing final edits and should be up by Saturday or Sunday! But until then, check out all 12,400 words of Chapter 9, part A. This chapter features gratuitous misuse of the weather and the laws of nature for the sake of the plot, bone apple tea.
Chapter 9a AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31534703/chapters/122557675 Title: shed my skin to let you in Rating: E Pairing: Marcus/Esca (The Eagle) Chapter: 9a/11. Fic Summary: After a less-than-pleasant break up with his long term partner, Liathan, Esca decides he needs a change of scenery. On a whim, he purchases a horse ranch in rural Tennessee, hoping to start anew and pursue his life-long passion for horses. Esca longs for time to devote solely to himself, a place to think, and as much distance between him and the awful memories he left behind in England. What he doesn't expect is the overly-friendly and overly-handsome farrier, Marcus, for whom - despite his best efforts - Esca can't help but fall.
Read from the start...

Defixio by Nahnahnahnah
The Eagle | Marcus Flavius Aquila/Esca Mac Cunoval | 8 053 words 125 pages | 8 signatures | 5,8 pt Bodoni 72 Book
A trip to the healing waters of Aquae Sulis leads to revelations, confessions, and far more excitement than Marcus or Esca anticipated.
Ask me to come up with a top 5 list of my all time favourite fic and this will be on it, and I'm not even sure I can tell you why. Well I could, but we'd be here all day. Effortlessly well written and characterised, wonderfully set up and tied together – it's a calming trip to the spa, a little mystery to solve, and full of my favourite kind of long-suffering (and ultimately requited) pining.

deleting my dating apps because i want to meet someone the old fashioned way (i attend saturnalia games, fall in love at first sight with the slave fighting the retiarius, save him from the claws of death, buy him with my scarse life earnings and make him my freedman)

i love The Eagle 2011 movie adaptation of the Eagle of the Ninth but it makes me SO sad how many moments between Marcus and Esca aren’t in the movie.
Like when Esca had the option of running away and not being Marcus’s slave but he CHOSE to stay so that he could be with Marcus: “But I chose to go with him because it was in my heart that it might be you that we went to." DIRECT QUOTE FROM THE BOOK!!!! And they hadn’t even spoken to each other at that point 😭😭😭
Like the fact that esca says “I have not served the Centurion because I was his slave, I have served Marcus, and it was not slave-service.” ALL WHILE HOLDING MARCUS’S HAND AND THIS IS BEFORE THEY GO ON THE JOURNEY FOR THE EAGLE!!! Like the books so much gayer than the movie!!!

Hi! The Eagle fandom is coughing but it’s still alive. Just got done reading your story, Mine. God that was hot!
Thank you so much!! I'm so happy you enjoyed that one. It was fun to write, and I felt like it was still in-character for those two... Just... a bit...more.

Chapter 9 part 2 has landed!!! The other half of the extremely beefy chapter 9! And yes I finally earned that spicy rating.

“you are still my slave!”
“and you’d be dead in a ditch without me!”
“I saved your miserable life!”
followed by a short but incredibly homoerotic wrestling in the mud scene DIRECTLY before they find themselves in a situation that flips their whole dynamic on its head I am unwell I am screaming and crying and throwing up I am going insane
