PRAETORIAN -- Ch 2/3
AO3
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Summary:
Britain, 60 AD. Rome has started to conquer the isles, but doesn't have more than a mediocre foothold yet. Long before Hadrian, it is the time of Boudica and the Iceni uprising in a land still untamed, teeming with the power of nature and magic, revolting against the order and subjugation of an empire. A former Praetorian Guard (Steve) and a Pagan Witch (Bucky) get thrown into the middle of history on opposing sides of the battle, but there is no timeline too far and no universe too alternate for them not to find each other. Because they always find each other, in any lifetime. Here then are legend, myth, magic, and historical fact, enemies that find common ground, small moments, big missions, epic battle, and a soft happy end, because love and connection will always conquer all.
.
So here it is, chapter 2.
Softness and connection are happening, because we're coming up to the eve of battle and that's a whole other hurdle for these two to take. Together. Ahem.
Thank you SO MUCH to @stuckyhistoricalfiction for making this event possible, and working with my timeline, to @wistfulcynic who betas through head colds and sniffly noses, to @booksandabeer and @bittersweet-in-boston for being the fabulousest people you could ever hope to come across, and to every single one of you who has read this insanity and /or left a comment. YES. YOU, TOO.
THANK YOU ALL.
i love you very much. 💖💖💖

This is the companion piece to Tempus Fugit. They can each stand alone, but they are definitely more fun together, which is why i gave them their own series. There is absolutely NO MCD in either fic. Just soft bois, hard choices, and the aforementioned happy endings.
.
All the love to @stuckyhistoricalfiction for making this event possible, and to the mods --- especially the amazing @greekgeek24 -- for being so awesome. Please check out the collection on AO3 and give everyone lots of love!
Super gigantic mega thanks to my undaunted beta and Person, @wistfulcynic, who plows through my byzantine plot lines and historical liberties with absolute precision and the sharpest scalpels known to man. Without her i'd be just another person sitting in a big pile of disconnected letters.
And once again to @greekgeek24 - for making this absolutely gorgeous cover. i can't stop looking at it. It's so beautiful.
Extra special hugs to @booksandabeer , @bittersweet-in-boston and @buckybarnesdeservestobehappy, because they enable my special brand of lunacy. This is all your fault.
i love you all. Thank you for everything. 💖

Oh - and this is the post -- and the picture -- that started it all:

PS: @crisis-froggo & @mwritesff -- LOOK. i did it.
And that's a wrap on Stucky Historical Fiction 2023! Thank you to everyone who participated in this event; whether you wrote, drew, beta read, or encouraged. I am amazed by your innovation and creativity!
I have several announcements about the future of Stucky Historical Fiction and Stucky Halloween.
First, we're moving servers! This year showed me and the other mods that we have to change if we’re going to be able to keep this event running. So, what we've decided is to create a new server that's simpler and easier to manage where both Stucky Historical Fiction and Stucky Halloween will call home.
Second, we are taking a hiatus. Honestly, going from last year to this year so quickly was a mistake. So, we will not be starting up again till 2025. Next year, we will be hosting mini events like bingos and prompt lists, depending on if we can find mods.
Third, we are hoping to run our first bang in 2025. But we can’t pull this off without you. I’m so grateful for everyone who participated this year, but I was hoping to see more growth for our events. We had over forty writers and artists sign up, but between the two events we barely had ten who finished their works. If you love these events as much as we do, please participate in our future runs. Otherwise, we will not be able to keep these events going.
Finally, I have to thank our amazing mods who have been such a help and encouragement to me. I honestly could not have gotten through this year without them.

Summary: Bucky, a fearsome and respected Viking warrior, has come with a fleet of ships to the shores of England to wage war upon them. But on the battlefield he sees something that makes him halt - a radiant giant of a man wearing a golden crown and swinging his sword like no one could stand before him. He immediately wants to find this man. It's just that it seems like no one else has seen him.
Bucky starts to look for him.
This fic is a Viking age inspired fic pulled from the roots of my own home and baked in the fires of this year's Stucky Historical Fiction event! I've had a lot of fun with it and I hope you enjoy it :) This is a total Porn with Plot/Enemies to Lovers kind of thing but with axes and tent sex and mythical story time.
Big thank you to @stuckyhistoricalfiction for arranging this event, and please go check out their collection on Ao3 to read the rest of the stories!
Another big thank you to @greekgeek24 for doing this amazing cover! Go send them some love
Also a big thank you to my beta, my baby, my boo: @babyboi07 . There are very few things I could do without you in this mad world of fanfiction

Teasers
Read some teasers of the fics coming out this December and January!
Bucky was frozen in place as time itself stopped, unable as he was to tear his eyes away from unknown warrior. Everywhere around him the shrieks of war ensued but he was silent like the clouds before a thunderstorm, rooted like a tree where others were slipping in the mud. The blood – not his own, for no one got close enough to hurt him – made the strong muscles of his mid-section gleam when the sun hit it, and his massive arms bulged each time the man swung his sword in ruinous circles. Man. Could he really be? A giant amongst them all, with no markings to show where he belonged. Neither blade nor ink had marred his skin, and he lacked the arm-ring that would prove him a Northerner. He couldn’t be theirs – he was fighting against them with a force so strong it didn’t seem human. All the breath left Bucky. He might not wear an arm ring, but he wasn’t wearing that damned silver cross either in a chain around his neck. All he wore was a golden crown.
“Are you done choking?” The voice says when Steve stops aspirating dried vascular plant bits. The hand once again grips his hair, pulls him up and another hand pushes him backward to sit against a tree and Steve finally gets a look at his attacker. His breath stops. Before him is a savage in leather and pelts, with wild black hair and strange markings down his left arm and shoulder, but Steve can’t pay attention to any of it because his face is painted. White and red and vibrant blue streak across forehead and cheekbones and the eyes are smeared pitch black. It makes the striking light gray irises stand out all the more. His teeth show in a predatory smile between blue and white lips. Steve has heard of Celtic witches. Fearsome stories, all of them. “First things first,” the witch sits down in front of him. “I would never hurt your horse, Roman.” Steve gasps. “Of course, you’re a Roman.” The man scoffs. “I could have picked your stance and build out of a thousand. You have soldier written all over you. You and that ridiculous haircut.” The hand is back in his hair, tousling this time, and Steve curses the fact that he did not have leave to let his hair and beard grow before the journey down. It is probably how the stranger in the tavern pegged him. All his offerings to Mercury were for nothing. “The question is not who you are.” The painted face before Steve becomes pensive. “And I can guess what you’re doing here, dressed like a commoner, skulking around my sacred altars.” Steve’s eyes widen in shock. These woods are consecrated. Tony sent him straight into the lion’s den, and like a sheep, Steve went. The predatory smile comes back, spreads across paint. “Boudica rising,” he whispers. “Is that not why you’re here.” Steve blinks. Bites his tongue. Tries to leave his face impassive, but the witch takes one look at him and once again laughs out loud. It is supremely unsettling. “Aaaaaahhhh,” he sighs, content. “I thought so.” Then he cocks his head left. “Your horse is coming back. Loyal beast that it is. When I sprung you and it bolted, I thought we’d never see the nag again.” Falconis steps into the clearing, snuffling and a little out of sorts, but none the worse for wear. He has not damaged himself in his flight through these woods and Steve is glad. He walks over to Steve and nuzzles his cheek, fluffing happily, and then turns— and does the same to the witch. Traitor.
As many things do, it begins with two corpses; one staining the quilt of snow it lays on a rueful shade of crimson, and the other encased in an icy tomb within the rotting carcass of a downed plane. In a way that defies both sense and science, both corpses are not truly dead at all — at least not yet. One corpse clenches his remaining fingers painfully tight, the knuckles paling to match the snow, grappling with the ledge of life desperately while his companion - his other half - readily lets go, ready to wearily sink under the waves of the quiet and the cold. One in denial and the other relieved. Even though they’re as good as, they’re not dead. Some would say it’s a miracle, a marvel, and that’s just the M’s; nevermind the rest. But, when it is stripped down to the bone, flesh and ligaments peeled away until the ivory skeleton of truth is laid bare, it is undoubtable that these icy graves and their icy corpses are inexplicably, irrevocably, and indescribably intertwined. Perhaps it’s fate, maybe one could go as far as to say it’s destiny. Maybe, maybe, maybe. But the one thing that is undeniable is that from the very second both corpses teetered on the thinning thread between living and dying, their orbits crossed. Over the next handful of decades, they are pulled into each other like stars, spiralling closer and closer until inevitably falling into each other in a stellar collision of a single epic, and irreversible mistake.
“Prince Bohemond VI has submitted to the Mongols.” Marshal Phillips announced solemnly. István looked up from the map. “Are we sending forces to liberate them?” He inquired. It was a larger campaign than they usually engaged in, but the Mongols were also a greater threat than they usually faced. Marshal Phillips shook his head and István felt a bolt of shock through his chest. Surely they couldn’t stand by and let Antioch fall to such a cruel adversary? “The prince claims he is submitting willingly. His father-in-law, King Hethum I, submitted over a decade ago, and has been encouraging other monarchs to do the same for years. He believes allying with the Mongols is our best chance to defend the kingdoms of Christendom from the Mamluks.” “If we submit to the Mongols, there will be no Christendom to defend!” István argued. But the other knights didn’t seem concerned. He thought of the scorched ruins he’d grown up around. The way his mother always choked up when talking about his father’s final stand against “the Tatars”. Desperate for understanding, his eyes sought out Jakab amongst the assembled archers. Jakab was already looking at him with a sweet, concerned frown. István felt a renewed sense of sanity as his friend gave a little nod in solidarity.
“You know you’re quite the informant,” Bucky said softly. “Let’s make a deal you keep talkin to me, and I’ll pay you enough, so you don’t have to walk the streets.” “I don’t need your fucking charity,” Steve growled. “It’s not charity.” Bucky grabbed Steve’s wrist. “You’re in the victim pool. You’re almost an exact match for what he’s lookin for. And you got a son—” “Don’t talk about my son!” Steve snarled. “Let me help you!” Bucky yelled. “I don’t need your help!” Steve yanked his arm out of Bucky’s grasp. “I don’t need anything from you—” “Goddammit, Stevie.” Bucky grabbed Steve and pressed him against the wall of an alley. But Nat’s words echoed in his mind, You’re all violent in your own way. Bucky didn’t want to be violent, especially not with Steve. He pulled back a little, giving the fae enough room to slip away if he wanted to. “I won’t force you,” Bucky told him with a sigh of defeat. “But I really do want to help. No charity, no pity, just help. And I need your help too. You know these victims, I don’t.”

Fanfiction Cover Explanation for Stucky Historical Fiction 2023
(Examples of the cover design and style, your covers will look like).
Hello, dears, with summary submissions coming up, I wanted to walk you through how I make fanfiction covers, so you'll have an idea of what I need for your cover.
I chose this style and design for our covers this year because it visually connects all of our stories.
Step 1: What's the essence of your story?
The first thing I need to know is what is the essence of your story. For example, this story is about death and grief, so bright and happy colors would not capture its essence.
Not only does the essence of your story help me with the color scheme, but it also helps me with the main design elements such as the focus of the cover and the feeling of the font.
Step 2: What's something that has to be on your cover?
The second thing I need to know is if there's something that has to be on your cover. With this particular cover, the author was adamant that the symbol needed to be on the cover.
Please do this within reason. I have some design limits, and I might not be able to do everything. But knowing that this symbol had to be on this cover really dictated what this cover would look like.
Step 3: What if your cover needs something extra?
The third thing I will consider with all covers is if it's finished or if it needs something more. With this cover in particular, the inspiration is so iconic that it made the entire design fairly easy.
But the focus and the font simply were not enough. So, I decided to add the deadlights in the background because it just needed something a little extra.
Step 4: How does it all come together?
The essence of your story is really the most important thing because it affects how I choose graphics and fonts and colors for your cover. If there's something that has to be on your cover, I have to work that into the design, for example, this story was about werewolves, so I needed a wolf!
I usually try out a lot of different fonts and graphics until I find something that perfectly captures the essence of your story.
I am so excited to create your covers!
