Summary
Although the Revolution does not feel like Marcus' war to fight, he has been pushed into a position, by his uncle and his friends alike, where he plays a vital role in delivering intelligence to the Continental Army. Because of the delicate thread he is hanging onto in the balance between Continental spy and Tory conspirator, he must persuade an innkeeper from York City to aid him with gathering information from officer staying in town— if the innkeeper would stop being so damn stubborn.
(Or: 2x04 and 2x05 of Turn: Washington's Spies with Marcus as Abraham Woodhull, Esca as Robert Townsend, and Guern as Samuel Townsend)

Summary
Marcus is a Dragon rider for the Empire who has lost his dragon companion in battle. Esca is a scrappy war orphan who made it out of slavery after the fall of his native kingdom and is now a physician. He is hired to tend to Marcus, and the two bond despite the deep wounds of long held animosity between their people. When dreams of a dragon in peril begin to plague Marcus, against his better judgement Esca accompanies him on a perilous journey beyond the Empire's borders, into a wilderness that Esca knows well.

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.”

Summary
No one said he had to kneel on the floor; there’s a perfectly serviceable wrought-iron bed with some very interesting attachment points a few feet behind him. But he took one glance at that and the weird-looking padded furniture in the corner, and it all seemed too… soft. Marcus didn’t come here for soft. He came here to hurt, to be hurt.

Summary
There had never been a plan, Marcus realized. There was no tacit understanding between him and Esca, no clever subversion of roles to trick the Seal People. He had just been a fool and a coward. He was a fool for expecting loyalty from a man who wanted him dead. And he was a coward for not wanting to admit that he had known better all along.

At the camp of the Seal People, Marcus reckons with what it means to lose not only status and power--but Esca as well. -

Summary
"You really don't have to take such care of me. You're freed, I'm not expecting this of you,"
With Esca having been freed, Marcus would never ask, nor expect, Esca to continue looking after him. Esca respectfully (well, respectfully for him, at least) disagrees.
Esca, on the other hand, might need a guide of sorts in order to settle in a Roman world. -

Summary
Esca, his muscular back to the wall, was sweating and panting in anticipation, his biceps straining to keep his body in place.
His usually sharp, haunting grey eyes were now struggling to stay focused and he bit down on his bottom lip until it bled red.
His delicate collarbones, white and gleaming in the fires' flickering light, caught Marcus' attention and his gaze shot down.
The firm muscles in Escas' shoulders and chest were working beneath his scarred warriors' skin. His nipples, hard from the tense air and pink and lovely.
Mithras help me.Aka Esca asks something new of Marcus and he's determined to give him what he needs.

Summary
When Esca noticed that Marcus was looking at him with lust in his eyes, it terrified him. He knew all too well what it meant when one’s master looked at a slave that way. It meant wandering hands and pain and humiliation. He learned that lesson years ago. But by some miracle, Marcus’s gaze didn’t turn into unwanted touches.
or
How Esca's fears turn into desire, until Marcus and he act on their feelings.

Summary
Marcus didn’t even want to be at the arena that day. His uncle had dragged him there, hoping that it would cheer him up, but Marcus had no interest in the cheap jokes and half-decent fights. The world seemed grey and dull, and not only because he hadn’t met his soulmate yet.
Esca had given up long before entering the arena. These last few years he had spent getting beaten, raped, and used. He didn’t wish to live anymore, not as a slave. And he certainly wasn’t going to fight for the amusement of the Roman crowd. He hoped for a quick death.
But once their eyes meet, everything changes.

Summary
Esca needs but a moment to put the pieces together. “Oh. Is there… somewhere specific you wish to spend the night in Venta Belgarum? Or with someone?”
Marcus’s half-smile grows. “There might be a place, yes. A place I have not been before, but I have been meaning to visit.”
There are brothels in Calleva, too, Esca thinks, but he merely watches the road as it disappears beneath them.
