The Eagle (2011)

[commodorecliche]

Hey so y'all remember when I was writing this Escus Modern Gay Horse Farm AU like a million years ago and then life stepped on me? Well GUESS WHAT, I AM BACK BABY!!! And chapter 9 is a GO.

It's a nice, long chapter, so long I actually had to split it up into two parts, but the second part is finished and just undergoing final edits and should be up by Saturday or Sunday! But until then, check out all 12,400 words of Chapter 9, part A. This chapter features gratuitous misuse of the weather and the laws of nature for the sake of the plot, bone apple tea.

Chapter 9a AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31534703/chapters/122557675 Title: shed my skin to let you in Rating: E Pairing: Marcus/Esca (The Eagle) Chapter: 9a/11. 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.

Read from the start...

Ko-Fi Prompts!

I'm saving up for a cricut vinyl cutter, so I thought I should open up ko-fi prompts.

With your tip, leave a fandom/pairing and a prompt (And rating) to get a piece of writing in exchange. Every $3 tip will get you 300 words, so $15 = 1,500 words and so on.

If you don't see your fandom in the tags, you can still ask me if I'm familiar enough to write for it.

Of course, reblogging helps, too!

Eagle of the Ninth AU idea I wanna write after I finish this current 13k word, canon-era monstrosity:

Modern AU where Marcus is a veteran soldier in physical therapy after getting shot in the leg. Esca works at the gym where he goes for therapy. Initially, Cottia is his PT, and as she’s leading him to one of the private rooms for his session, he looks to his left and sees Esca doing ballet in one of the empty halls and literally cannot get over the beauty of it.

Cottia has to leave after a while so Esca takes over.

They fall in love while desperately trying to remain professional and pretending they’re not in love.

It ends with Esca saying “I can’t do this anymore,” and Marcus misunderstands and thinks he can’t bear being Marcus’ PT anymore because he’s not “““improving”““ or “““working hard enough”““ but actually it’s Esca like ‘if i have to take one more session with you I will either just nut in my pants or hold you down on a bench and ride you until you can’t see straight any more’.

Cottia comes back and finishes his PT sessions and Esca asks Marcus on a date.

If any of my followers, or anyone else that might see this, has seen the 2011 movie “The Eagle” (starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell) and/or read the book (by the same name, or as “The Eagle of the Ninth”) written by Rosemary Sutcliff, and ships Esca/Marcus with a preference for top!Esca and bottom!Marcus, please send me an ask or an IM because I’d really like to talk to someone that also likes this ship, especially with them having this particular type of relationship.

I knew rewatching The Eagle was a terrible idea. It‘s 2020 for goodness sake. I should not be having Escus feels!!
