Title: The passing of winter
Genre: Angst, romance
Summary: Originally written for a prompt on the_eagle_kink before I went back and rewrote it: So Marcus and Esca settle down as Happy Gay Farmers, but one day Marcus hears someone who is/was a member of the Brigantes insult Esca for betraying his people by basically becoming a whore to a Roman and make all sorts of horrible comments about how Esca's father and family would be ashamed etc,. I just want Marcus' reaction, some anger and maybe guilt and then Esca shrugging it off and being like 'my family would be happy that I'm happy' or 'even though you're a Roman you're not like the others'
Warnings: None, apart from sappiness
Rating:  
Pairings: Marcus/Esca

A/N: I didn't like the abrupt ending of the original version, so I went back to fix that and backstory happened. And it got extra sap. Sorry about that
Gaelic translations are at the end.

A/N: This fic is set in an alternate universe Roman Empire that follows the convention of Ancient Rome in relation to slavery and, hence, views expressed by characters may not necessarily be very nice and are certainly not mine.
