FIC: CCXIII things Hilarion is no longer allowed to do (Frontier Wolf, Alexios/Hilarion)
This is not exactly what I wanted my first foray into Frontier Wolf fandom to be ("Epic," I thought, "plotty and adventuresome, full of feelings and Sutcliffian descriptions"), but then smillaraaq said that there was probably a list of things Hilarion wasn't allowed to do, along the lines of Skippy’s List: The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army, and I could not stop myself. In some ways it is more serious than the concept would suggest, but only in some.
Thanks to smillaraaq, hedgebird, and sineala for suggestions of things Hilarion is not allowed to do, and for general enablement. The first scene, of course, owes something to Sutcliff's The Capricorn Bracelet.
Fandom: Frontier Wolf
Pairing: Alexios/Hilarion
Length: 1440 words
Rating: T/PG-13 for a little bit of language and implied sexuality
CCXIII things Hilarion is no longer allowed to do in the Roman army
It was not so often that a legate inspected the latrines, and Hilarion might have been able to use that as some kind of defense--except of course he knew that this legate was quite the stickler, and he did not care at any rate.
The hardest part was keeping a straight face as Tribune Corvinus turned several interesting shades, finally settling on purple. It was quite a good caricature, Hilarion thought smugly.
