Defixio by Nahnahnahnah

The Eagle | Marcus Flavius Aquila/Esca Mac Cunoval | 8 053 words 125 pages | 8 signatures | 5,8 pt Bodoni 72 Book

A trip to the healing waters of Aquae Sulis leads to revelations, confessions, and far more excitement than Marcus or Esca anticipated.

Ask me to come up with a top 5 list of my all time favourite fic and this will be on it, and I'm not even sure I can tell you why. Well I could, but we'd be here all day. Effortlessly well written and characterised, wonderfully set up and tied together – it's a calming trip to the spa, a little mystery to solve, and full of my favourite kind of long-suffering (and ultimately requited) pining.

i love The Eagle 2011 movie adaptation of the Eagle of the Ninth but it makes me SO sad how many moments between Marcus and Esca aren’t in the movie.

Like when Esca had the option of running away and not being Marcus’s slave but he CHOSE to stay so that he could be with Marcus: “But I chose to go with him because it was in my heart that it might be you that we went to." DIRECT QUOTE FROM THE BOOK!!!! And they hadn’t even spoken to each other at that point 😭😭😭

Like the fact that esca says “I have not served the Centurion because I was his slave, I have served Marcus, and it was not slave-service.” ALL WHILE HOLDING MARCUS’S HAND AND THIS IS BEFORE THEY GO ON THE JOURNEY FOR THE EAGLE!!! Like the books so much gayer than the movie!!!

Why Esca Mac Cunoval is my absolute favorite character of all time:

How to describe why I adore him... He is more than you think. He starts of kinda shut off and you don't get him, until somewhat halfway trough the movie. I think I have to summarize his story so you might understand why I adore him, and have not shut up about him since 2020. So sorry for the whole movie summary:

We first meet Esca at the gladiator arena, he is a slave. During the fight of the dead he just let's himself get punched so he can die. He is tired of being a slave and wants his dead the way he wants it.

One guy in the tribune however doesn't like that idea and saves him. The guys uncle then buys him for Marcus, as his personal body slave.

When they meet, he comes of as a unreadable person. He absolutely hates the Romans, I mean son of a dead clans chief... powerfull fighter.

He is however never mean toward his master, or anyone.

When Marcus decides to go look for the eagle he takes Esca with him. A foolish decision according to many, including his uncle who say that he will kill him the moment he crosses the border, Marcus is but spooked but defends Esca and takes him with him. This shows Marcus' loyalty towards Esca (still his slave)

When they get attacked by warriors (childeren) Esca can't kill the young child. This shows compassion and kindness, something we hadn't seen from him earlier. Marcus does kill the child tho and berates Esca for not killing him.

He made up a whole different route so that they wouldn't find the place of 'heros' because he has more respect for them, than his master.

When they get caught by the Seal People, he devices a whole plan so they would survive the trip. He didn't let Marcus know, wich made the other worried and Marcus thinks Esca betrayed him. That's until Esca comes in at the right time to help Marcus get the Eagle and get out of there. This shows loyalty and bravery.

(Esca again befriendend a child. Only for that one to get killed by his own father during the last battle, wich hurts Esca.)

When Esca doesn't translate the harmful sentences about Marcus father to Marcus, this shows kindness and maybe a need to protect.

When Esca refuses to leave Marcus (wounded) behind. He tells him to set him free before he gives up on him, wich Marcus does. Esca then gets the other former Eagles and they fight together against the seal people. Again bravery and loyalty, even when he isn't Marcus slave anymore. During the fight the prince of the Seal People almost kills Esca, but he gets saved by Marcus.

Remember how I said that Esca hates Romans? Well I think, no I know he likes one Roman. The Roman who took a chance on him, showed him compassion, loyalty and kindness, wich allowed Esca to be himself aswell. A kind but troubled guy with a horrible past (family got killed by Romans, he got taken and branded as a slave...) who is kinder than you think, you just gotta earn his trust, loyalty and friendship.

“you are still my slave!”

“and you’d be dead in a ditch without me!”

“I saved your miserable life!”

followed by a short but incredibly homoerotic wrestling in the mud scene DIRECTLY before they find themselves in a situation that flips their whole dynamic on its head I am unwell I am screaming and crying and throwing up I am going insane

#the eagle 2011 #the eagle of the ninth #esca and marcus #eagle boys #I've seen scenes from the movie before including this one because for some reason it's been on tv a lot in the past months #but this is my first time watching it fully the whole way through #and I am unwell I am fucking unwell #how many times do I wanna bet I am gonna rewatch this #it's going to be a comfort movie for sure I can already tell #it's lowkey been a comfort movie even before this point

shed my skin to let you in - escus modern AU - chapter 8

Chapter 8 AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31534703/chapters/103958781 Title: shed my skin to let you in Rating: E Pairing: Marcus/Esca (The Eagle) Chapter: 8/10ish? Fic Summary: After a less-than-pleasant break up with his long term partner, Liathan, Esca decides he needs a change of scenery. On a whim, he purchases a horse ranch in rural Tennessee, hoping to start anew and pursue his life-long passion for horses. Esca longs for time to devote solely to himself, a place to think, and as much distance between him and the awful memories he left behind in England. What he doesn't expect is the overly-friendly and overly-handsome farrier, Marcus, for whom - despite his best efforts - Esca can't help but fall. Chapter Summary:

“Esca, don’t get mad when I say this, but… it seems like you haven’t been happy in a really long time. And that's understandable, given the circumstances. But you deserve to be. You deserve to be happy, to be proud of yourself. You should be proud of everything you’ve done. I know it feels like you have nothing, but you aren’t alone in this. You’ve got this farm, these horses, and hell, you’ve got me. And you’re not gunna lose that; you’re kinda stuck with me now, bud.”

Voice a little rough and wet, Esca half scoffs-half chuckles at Marcus’s words, but he can’t bring himself to deny or refute them.

“Would it help,” Marcus continues, “If I told you that I’m proud of you? That I’m happy you’re here? And that I don’t care what brought you here, or what you had to leave behind, because I’m just glad you came. I think you’re doing fucking amazing.”

Esca chuckles again - breathy and uneasy. He wants to ignore Marcus’s words, to pretend they are meaningless platitudes, offered only because Esca is sad. He wants to pretend Marcus doesn’t mean any of this - because that is the safest thing to do. But this feels different.

I LIVE! I am so sorry for the wait. Life is just so much at the moment. But I am HERE, I am ALIVE, and the chapter is UP. Please note that this chapter mentions animal death (no animal cruelty though).

I was kinda iffy about Vikings at first, but when they actually had the hot viking dude and his hot viking wife invite the priest into a three-way as I was typing their names into the AO3 searchbar I was like okay iffy rescinded

#babbles #faey watches #vikings #ripping my hair out in chunks when Athelstan is like ‘i have taken a vow of celibacy. i cannot touch a woman’#as Ragnar Lothbrok and his rippling six pack is standing right there naked as the day he was born?!?#i feel like some physical logistics couldve been worked out here sir #also if you’re wondering yes watching the eagle (2011) led me to watching this show #it was a very roundabout path but looking back makes some sense #im also on the first season please no spoilers everyone ill discover on my own if it suddenly takes a turn at some point #my favorite part aside from whatever dynamic Athelstan and Ragnar have going on #are all the times they really obviously edit Ragnar’s blue eyes to literally glow the deepest blue imaginable?#i cant take it seriously i laugh every time they do it it reminds of that blue eyes meme #floki’s pretty cool too i love me a good fidgety weasel character #opinions about lagertha: i understand on a deep personal level why Ragnar goes into immediate malewife mode the moment she steps into a room

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Fan fiction - 1 work Fandoms: The Old Guard, Shameless (US), or The Eagle (2011) Highest rating: M (for generally mature themes) Length/scope: 5 -10k words Minimum Bid: $5

Note! I'm only auctioning off one work, so if you win you can choose from one (or more! Crossover!) of my three selected fandoms. Also check the bidding history before placing a new bid so you know what you have to top!

Bidding is open now! Step right up! [My profile]

I'm very open for prompts and working with you to whatever extent you might want in the outline phase. Here are some more details about what I'm especially interested in for each fandom, for inspiration:

SHAMELESS (US): I love a good Shameless AU, as you probably know, and the weirder the better tbh! But I'm also very happy to write canon compliant (prefer to stick to seasons 1-5), canon divergent is super fun, fix-its were once my bread and butter.

THE EAGLE (2011): I think I'd do best writing something canon compliant (movie canon), like a filler or a post-movie fic, but I'm keen to be challenged! No book canon because I don't know her.

THE OLD GUARD: I have never written for The Old Guard, but I am excited to dip my toe in! I would love to do something canon compliant, to the movie or the comic (or both!) and something generally team-focused. If you want me to write a non-canonical romantic pairing I will try my best, but no promises!

Bidding is open now! Step right up! [My profile]
