Esca/Marcus, Esca/Marcus/Seal Prince, AU, gen or slash anonymous April 27 2011, 11:32:02 UTC

Esca and Marcus, instead of killing the Seal Prince in the final battle, capture him instead and bring him back as sort of a prisoner of war. Having been captured, the Seal Prince is shamed and can never return to his tribe. I'd like to see how he would adjust to being amongst the Romans, living with his captors/masters: the Roman former slave and Esca, the Betrayer, the Liar. If their relationship developed into slash that would be awesome, but honestly, gen would be just as great. Angst is good, but I'd like a somewhat happy ending, please!

Bonus points if the Seal Boy (Ronan, of course) is saved and the Seal Prince has the added blow of watching his son grow away from him and closer to Esca and Marcus.

I need this in my life in any way, shape, or form. Especially Ronan!

Sorry, I couldn't manage to get Ronan into it. :( I've named the Prince Liathan because calling him 'the Prince' all time was srsly awkward. That said it may be weird if you've read the book and have a different idea of who Liathan is, so, apologies.

Title from the quote: “Honour isn't about making the right choices. It's about dealing with the consequences.” (Midori Koto, Highlander)They had begun piling logs on top of each other for the funeral pyre when Liathan awoke. He convulsed, choking and retching, his lungs expelling masses of water that scraped his insides raw. They had their swords on him in moments, blades unwavering, eyes hard ( ... )

The Roman slave... Liathan racked his mind for the name, Esca had told them, his father had said it so jeeringly. Marcus Flavius Aquila. He saw his father's body in his mind's eye, small and strange in death, the spark that had made him great had fled from his bones ( ... )

OP here! I'm so thrilled someone is writing my prompt, and I love what you've done so far! This is wonderful, I can't wait to read more.

They halted when the sky purpled and grew black. Weak Roman eyes unable to navigate the darkness. Liathan's vision blurred as they lifted him from the horse, his body screaming in pain as his abused muscles were forced into a new setting. They propped him against a tree and he could barely manage to focus on his breathing, let alone his captors ( ... )

Soon the food was cooked and they settled in to eat, trading stories in their own tongue, the rhythm of talk low and easy. But, perhaps the dead weighted on them, or perhaps it was his own presence at the edge of the fire, for their talk was not as high spirited as was common after battle. And soon they fell silent again ( ... )

OMG. I CAN'T CONTAIN MY GLEE AT SEEING THIS PROMPT BEING FILLED. I am in love, so in love with this already. Your Seal Prince voice is so good.

Esca's face did not change and Liathan questioned again how he could have trusted this man, how he could have once seen his smiles as true, believed anything he showed, other than this ugly blank mask.

oh my HEART.

The water rushed over his feet. It was cold, the chill of icy freshwater springs. It rushed past his legs like a shivering whisper, echoing strangely in the valley ( ... )

Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2b/? anonymous May 22 2011, 19:17:46 UTC

Soon the Romans began to wake and break camp, working as efficiently as they had last night. There was talking then, all in the Roman language. Esca stowed his belongings, he made no outward show of listening, but Liathan was sure he knew what was being said. He piled the packs onto the horse and unfolded a long rope tied to the saddle ( ... )

Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2c/? anonymous May 22 2011, 19:27:55 UTC

Caught in his thoughts, he did not realise they were stopping until he struck the horse's rear, the animal shying and tossing his head at the impact. Liathan moved swiftly back, wary of the horses hind legs and powerful kick, but the beast was well trained, or perhaps simply tired, for it did nothing ( ... )

Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2d/? anonymous May 22 2011, 19:45:24 UTC

He waited until the horse stopped, waited until Esca was attending to Aquila, his hand resting lightly on the Roman's shoulder, their heads inclined forwards towards each other ( ... )

Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2e/? nemo_r May 22 2011, 19:56:02 UTC

They fought fiercely, well matched, the warrior's size against Liathan's nimble feet. But Liathan was tired already, where the warrior was fresh, and Liathan's grip was soon soaked with blood from the cuts he'd made escaping his ropes ( ... )

Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2f/? nemo_r May 22 2011, 20:05:03 UTC

oops, anon fail, screw it.The Romans were breathing heavily, as if they had only just arrived. Perhaps drawn by the earlier clash of blades. They spoke to Esca in their own tongue as Liathan scanned the tree line, he could still make a run for it, could still ( ... )

Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2g/? nemo_r May 22 2011, 20:17:43 UTC

Liathan lost track of time, sitting there wrapped in his own misery, and he started when Esca appeared in front of him. Esca waited for him to meet his eyes. "I'm going to see to your hands. Will you let me?" Liathan stared at him. What did he want? Reassurance he wouldn't kill him? How could he kill him? He had no weapon and Esca was better than him at wrestling ( ... )

Re: Fill: Dealing with the Consequences 2g/? ficangel May 22 2011, 20:46:21 UTC

No-longer-nonny, you are blowing my mind with this. I can't wait to see what happens next!
