It is not a thing you do, in the Frontier Wolves, to ask how a man has come to the frontier. Alexios pries when he should not, and Hilarion takes it rather ill at first. A 2011 Yuletide present for sineala.

Thanks to smillaraaq, bunn, and opalmatrix for the betas. ♥

ETA: Sheepish excuses for the redundant post, but don't miss two Yuletide Madness fics (*) not previously linked!

Sutcliff fic had a rewarding Yuletide 2011 exchange, with 14 stories written for The Eagle of the Ninth (The Eagle), The Silver Branch, Frontier Wolf, and Sword at Sunset -  including a couple for Yuletide Madness which you may have ( Read more... )

Hilarion decides to take Alexios's measure, by means of biological warfare (which is to say "ferrets"). Roughly in the same continuity as "New Growth" and "CCXIII things Hilarion is no longer allowed to do in the Roman army," set shortly after the former.

Alexios finds that first winter in Belgica very cold, but not without its merits. A cuddling-for-warmth story.

For sineala; thanks to smillaraaq and sineala for the betas.

1995 words, T/PG-13 for vague descriptions of sexuality.

In which Hilarion meets the new Ducenarius of the Frontier Wolves and sizes him up; and the commander, for his part, does the same right back. May be read as very faintly pre-slashy, or as straight-up gen, your choice.

For hedgebird; thanks to smillaraaq for the beta. This story probably owes something to _likimeya's very fine story "Penitence," although I tried for a ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )

Title: Song of Esca, Cunoval's Son
Length: .... 18696 words?  It got a bit out of hand...  
Rating : g
Summary: After the fall of Cunoval, Esca is enslaved. All Esca says about that in Eagle of the Ninth is "They sold me to a trader from the South, who sold me to Beppo, here in Calleva" Yet, that sentence covers two years of Esca's life. This story ( Read more... )

Title: The Fall of Cunoval
Length: 4784 words

Rating : g
Summary: What were Esca's family like, and what happened to them? What might the word 'hound' mean to Esca when he says 'I am the Centurion's hound?' 
Inspired by: Eagle of the Ninth, has a few nods to Song for a Dark Queen.  Also, other Sutcliff works with hounds.

Me again. :)
I have a short piece of fanfic for Frontier Wolf this time.

Title: Penitence
Characters: Hilarion, (Alexios)
Words: ~570
Rating: G; it’s not real slash, but I wouldn’t call it gen, either. Probably pre-slash; at least I certainly meant it that way. :)
Disclaimer: I dis-claim anything you want me to.
Summery: Words are swords and ( Read more... )
