AU Bingo Ficlet: "Saturnalia"

Jan 02, 2011 19:04

This is for my au_bingo WILD CARD slot, which I'm going to fill with another "Historical: Ancient Civilizations" story about Ancient Rome. Same names and universe as "The General's Homecoming," but I'll provide a list after just for reminders.

( Saturnaila )

Oh, how I love this universe! I now badly want another ficlet in which we see Laurina and Gaius Varius during Saturnalia in more than just a brief flashback. And one that explains why Aeliana is no longer to be married to Gaius Varius (though I feel this is only a short reprieve for Laurina and that it must have something to do with Gaius Varius nearly having a heart attack at the suggestion).

I think I provide at least the explanation as to why Aeliana is no longer the prospective bride of Gaius Varius. I'm glad you're enjoying!

In this ficlet or in "The General's Homecoming"? Because if it's in this ficlet it went completely over my head.

Whoops -- that was meant to read, "I think I can provide." Another ficlet coming! Though some other AUs should have their turn first.

i did well, i didnt look at the list of names first, and still pretty much was able to tell who was who :) *yay*
happy new year!
btw, i'm reading the station 16's, and are there any more beyond the 9 or 10 in the list from (oh, great now i cant remember the fic where you wrote the list of station16's in order. *fail*).lol

So glad you enjoyed!

I kind of failed at finishing Station 16. Uh, Sydney turned out to be alive after all, Jack and Nadia found her, they made some happiness amid the misery. The end?

Oh, and Nadia had a baby.

and they all lived happily ever after. :P
thanks!

I might be in love with this universe, and I can easily imagine Irina in this role.

yahtzee63 January 3 2011, 02:48:15 UTC

Thanks muchly!

I could read this FOREVER.

yahtzee63 January 3 2011, 02:48:46 UTC

I might take you up on that!

Oh my god, this AU. I want you to write this forever and ever and ever.

Her alliance with Aquila had never been about romance; they were not unlike many other Roman marriages in that respect. No, they were partners in a domestic and political alliance that had proved fruitful. If he found sexual happiness in a woman whose status could never rival Laurina’, that only added to the stability of their union.

And yet seeing the light in Zenais’ eyes reminded Laurina so painfully of how much more a marriage could be -

Sniffles for Irina :|

Thank you so much! I'm delighted that you are enjoying, still. I know I've got at least one more I can share here, on this card.
