Earlier this year: the Rosemary Sutcliff selection from Trick or Treat exchange, both merry and mysterious:

The Eagle (2011)

Carry That Weight by coaldustcanary: Esca will return for him. Marcus isn't sure how he feels about that.

The Shining Company - Rosemary Sutcliff

by the white levin-light of the moon by Isis: It was on the third night of Cynan’s fever, as he tossed in the bed made for him in the women’s house at Dyn Eidin and muttered words that I could not make out, that his eyes flew open and he looked at me; but his eyes were wild and searching, and I did not think it was me that he saw.

Frontier Wolf - Rosemary Sutcliff

Purpose by chantefable: The present day is bleak, for Shula has lost a husband, and the tribe has lost a chieftain. One of these things has to be remedied with urgency if the sun is to shine upon the Votadini.

Four Seasons: Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honour, and for the sake of living to lose what makes life worth living.

The Eagle of the Ninth - Rosemary Sutcliff

with your shield or on it by AddisonR: What would be worse? Esca thinks. That I am bound to this Roman but he is not bound to me, or that we are bound to each other?

The Eagle | The Eagle of the Ninth (2011)

Honour Lost by luckydip: After dinner with Claudius and Placidus, Marcus thinks about how much he trusts Esca.

Fish and Guests, Common Threads by aurilly: As much as Marcus lies awake thinking of Esca, he could never take advantage of a slave. Esca takes matters into his own hands when a demanding guest to the villa threatens to avail himself of more of Uncle Aquila's hospitality than has formally been offered.

What is begotten by alestar: Esca learns the Latin word by accident, from Stephanos of all people. Soul-mate.

Defixio by nahnahnahnah: A trip to the healing waters of Aquae Sulis leads to revelations, confessions, and far more excitement than Marcus or Esca anticipated.

From a Candid Heart by chantefable: In which Marcus Flavius Esca, son of Cunoval, a freedman, shall be ridiculed by a short horse bought from a Pictones trader, fed by a tavern keeper not otherwise identified, and continuously bewildered by Marcus Flavius Aquila, his friend and patron. Or, it takes Esca a long time to realise what he and Marcus had actually agreed upon.

once i have done my time by neutrophilic: Marcus doesn't know what to do with himself now he's attained his heart's desire: restoring the Eagle to Rome. Esca has some ideas.

auribus teneo lupum by Heather: Marcus and Esca have a moment.

the native custom acquired by AddisonR: "I liked you as a savage."

True Places by foxxcub: Esca looks down at his bare right ankle, which is warm to the touch. A name is displayed there, permanently, sunken into his skin for all time, written in a tight, jagged handwriting: Marcus Aquila.
