    Summary

    Esca and Marcus map out their relationship.

    "So they would do it under the covers of their bed and the darkness, never speaking of it. Marcus wanted to kiss Esca under the apple trees surrounding his farm but when he tried, Esca whipped his head around, startled and for all appearances angry."

    Summary

    Esca and Marcus return to Calleva after all is done, and Marcus has Esca recognised as a libertus when he collects the land grant as his reward. Esca was twitchy and sullen all the way south, but before Marcus can put his plans for the future into action, Esca bolts and leaves him for good. Marcus chooses to stay in Britannia and set up a farm on the South Downs, but his thoughts go ever north to Esca.

    Angst, with a happy ending and a glimpse at what Marcus would be like as a father.

    Title taken from The Eagle of the Ninth, Chapter XVI: "We are in this together, and we will win clear together, or not at all." (Marcus to Esca)

    Summary

    “Marcus,” Esca begins, as gently has he can manage, “have you not seen that there is honor and integrity to be found beyond the boundaries of Rome?”

    “Yes, of course. You are living proof of it.”

    “Then I ask you to trust me when I say that there is pleasure and satisfaction beyond the boundaries of Rome as well.” He tugs Marcus’s head up to kiss him again. “And that I do not need to submit to you in the slightest to have it.”
