The Yuletide Roundup
Not quite as many Sutcliff stories as last year, I think, but a very different assortment of fandoms, including some that haven't been written before. There was a lot of confusion about the Eagle tag this year (the movie fandom was nominated, but a lot of people requested book fic, and at least some got written), so I'm just going to include all Eagle and Eagle of the Ninth stories.
Below the cut, 3 Blood Feud (!!), 1 Eagle of the Ninth, 1 Knight's Fee, 1 The Shining Company (!), and 4 "Eagle" (probably all movieverse this year, but I'm not going to guess).
Blood Feud
Learning of Another Kind - Jestyn, Alexia - G - 1041 words
As dresser to Demetriades the Physician, Jestyn must learn to read and write.
Once Given - Jestyn/Thormod - T - 2159 words
“It is only a scratch, Jestyn, you need not worry. I’ll have some ale and be well enough in the morning, but I should be glad for your help in binding it up.”
Thormod would have called it a scratch if his arm were nearly hacked off.
A missing scene from Chapter 11, while Jestyn and Thormod winter in Kiev near Khan Vladimir's Palace.
Towards Winter's End - Jestyn/Thormod - M - 2104 words
Jestyn feels sorry for the Emperor's sister, to be married to a man with so many wives already. Thormod tries to understand why, leading to a confession of sorts.
Eagle of the Ninth
The Door into Britannia - Marcus/Cottia/Esca - T - 10403 words
Marcus and Esca find a strange horse wandering in the mist. [Crossover with Diane Duane's Tale of the Five series.]
Knight's Fee
Minstrel's Song - Randal/Herluin - G - 4550 words
Herluin at Tenchebrai, and afterward.
The Shining Company
Homecoming - Conn/Luned/Prosper, Conn/Luned - G - 2884 words
Prosper returns from Constantinople.
The Eagle
These stories were categorized under the movie Eagle | Eagle of the Ninth (2011) tag, but I'm not sure whether they're bookverse or movieverse (I haven't had time to read them yet, either).
Then and Now - Marcus/Esca - T - 6601 words
The way back to the Wall was much harder than the way up North. Esca decided to follow his instinct. Marcus decided to follow him.
what makes the cornfield smile - Marcus/Esca - T - 3753 words
Marcus finds the boy underneath the wood rack, curled in on himself so small that Marcus almost missed him in the thick grass.
in bleak midwinter - Marcus/Esca - G - 1013 words
The cold here isn't good for Marcus's leg.
In The Hands Of The Gods - Marcus/Esca - E - 5710 words
Marcus makes a vow to Mithras, but vows have consequences and sometimes involve sacrifices. Can Esca accept the consequences of Marcus' vow? And can Marcus make the required sacrifice?
