I loved how you intertwined the book and movie, with Cub coming in at the end. Such a great beginning, too, with the fire and the danger and not quite knowing what's happening. And I also loved seeing Aquila, Sasstica, and Stephanos again, and how happy they are to see Marcus and how Sasstica warms to Esca :) All the h/c, too, is such a favorite of mine!
Oh, my heart. This story is so full of hurt and difficulty and uncomfortable, unsaid things, but the sheer love between them still shines so brilliantly. I much enjoyed this.
Esca watches as his breath flutters across Cub’s back. The pup’s ears prickle in the unexpected breeze.
This line absolutely killed me. I could just picture it in my head, Cub's ears twitching, Marcus all big and slumbering, Esca watching over them in silence.
This is just so, so beautiful. The story is amazing and I love that you took your time with all of the details... instead of just spelling things out, you bring us into the room so we can see the cast of their eyes or the cant of their shoulders or any of the other thousand things that tell us how destroyed and how alive they are. What a gorgeous, quiet piece of work... probably my favorite Eagle fic yet.

I loved the elements that were the reverse of the canon story :)
