Summary
Rome's defeat at Teutoburg Forest leaves Lucius broken, captured, and enslaved by the Marsii tribe. Determined to escape, he endures the brutal conditions, clinging to the hope of reclaiming his freedom. But Baldric, the fierce warrior who claims him as a thrall, doesn't intend to let him go.
What begins as a battle of wills becomes something neither man expected. As Lucius wrestles with his desire to become a free man, a deeper connection stirs beneath the surface-a bond that threatens to unravel everything he believes. Torn between loyalty to Rome, a one-sided love he left behind, and the pull of something forbidden, Lucius must decide: is freedom worth more than the man who might just own his heart?
This is Lucius' story.
Previously known as The Fallen.

YES. THIS will probably be THE fic that I think of when it comes to explicit non-con scenes in a Greco-Roman or Greco-Roman-adjacent setting. The combination of class issues, PTSD, and revenge sex is just *chef's kiss*.
As always, sattsuma absolutely delivered this!

This turned out way softer than I expected - in an absolutely genius way. I should not have felt as warm as I did about such a clearly imbalanced relationship, but oh well.

Rare Mesopotamian-ish setting!! I don't see this often but when I do, the work is often fantastic. The ritualized sex is handled so well.
