still trying to piece together the late-roman empire jakesyb au and fl;asdfj it really is just putting my own personal hc for jacob's bisexuality on blast wherein, in this au, he is mostly interested in men (ie, his fellow soldiers/his boytoy staci) but then there's also something inexplicably alluring to him about syb's strong, lithe, barbarian warrior's body

#he sees a woman not easily conquered and. in true roman fashion. says 'i need to conquer her.'#like. at this point i think jakey's driving motivation in this fic #is joseph being like 'hey. you GOTTA produce a son. idc that you're fucking your military buddies but our family NEEDS an heir'#anyway this au is so fun because i get to explore various realms of influence in the late roman empire #militarily with jacob and syb. the political with john. and the religious with joseph and faith #which is all fairly new to me #when i was in school my area of study was more on the republic than the late empire #but considering *gestures at the canonical fc5 cult* having this au set during the collapse of the western empire just makes sense #but. now i'm gonna go jump back to the canon-verse because i gotta boot up the game to scout out the whitetail ranger station #so i can accurately write syb's combat there #whining wombat
