TO BE LIKE JAMES DEAN

HEY! ALL YOU HELOTS, YOU ZEALOTS, YOU PELOPONNESIANS, YOU LEKADEAMONS.
ALL OF LEONIDAS’S ARMY! LET’S GET BARMY!
Errr whoops. Sorry wrong pep talk.
MISTRESSES, HAREM CONGREGATION. You are a flock of superior kind. Your zeal would make St. John Rivers clap and jump up and down in approval. Or at least nod fervently, colour high on his cheeks. Your dedication, friendliness and good cheer, shown so voraciously each week never ceases to leave me and my fellow Reverend speechless. Sometimes, I think of us as a super-cool, quaffed 50s street gang, a bit like that:

But I think we might be a bit more like this:


But substituting mambo with porn.

Prompt 3
Esca/Marcus, X-Men AU
Esca is a mutant (his power is up to you - all I ask is that he's not y'know, blue or anything, 'cause, y'know, Jamie Bell.)
Um...not actually too picky about the rest of the details. Was thinking of Esca maybe getting captured by some organisation or something and Marcus rescuing him, Marcus could be a mutant or a normal human. Would just like some BAMF!mutant!Esca with possibly some angst/h/c 'cause, y'know, persecution and all that.
THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD, SO FUCKING GOOD. SERIOUSLY. ALL I WANT. ALL I WANT.
FILLED:
lalazee, who is clearly aspiring to do more than just SCRUB THE AISLE ON ALL FOURS and next thing you know she's gonna be a motherfucking priest. Check out her FIX ME UP
>
HOWEVER IT IS NOT ALL HAPPY FAMILY REUNIONS AND MARSHMALLOWS FLOATING IN HOT CHOCOS ON STORMY NIGHTS. SOME OF OUR LITTLE ORPHANS ARE STILL WAITING TO KNOW THE WARMTH OF A HOMELY HEARTH. THEY TUG AT THE SLEEVES OF THE PASSING CLERGY WONDERING, TEARY EYED, IF SOMEONE HAD ASKED FOR THEM. THEY PRESS THEIR CUTE BUTTON NOSES TO FROSTY GLASS WATCHING FOR COUCHES MERGING FROM THE MISTY MOORS, SOB IN THEIR PILLOWS WHEN YET AND YET AGAIN NO ONE COMES. MAYBE THIS TIME, MAYBE THIS TIME SOMEONE WILL TAKE THEM IN.
1) Esca/Marcus - matchmaking Placidus
the wonderful
temperance_k asked for:Since I'm 50~ pages away from finishing the book, I've been tortured by many prompts. NONE OF THEM are as appealing as inadvertent matchmaking!Placidus.It's pretty much canon, I could QUOTE it at you, and so please, anons, I would like Placidus' snide remarks continually forcing Esca and Marcus together until they really are together, and Placidus' complete and utter horror at realizing what he has done.
Double bonus points for Marcus and Esca being pretty oblivious throughout.
2) Esca/Marcus, military AU
Marcus is an American officer on loan to the British military, assigned to temporarily lead a special forces squad and bring them up to date on American techniques and procedures. One of the soldiers, Esca, is not too happy about a Yankee telling him what to do.
Bonus points for Esca's polite "yessirs" while he's glaring, seething with rage or smirking.
More bonus points if Marcus's attempts to put Esca in his place end up with Esca topping the hell out of him (he can top from the bottom, I don't mind).
Even more bonus points for the use of military equipment and weaponry during sex.
3)Esca/Marcus- AU, druid!Esca
Can be bookverse or movieverse, but I would like Esca to be both a warrior and a druid, a keeper of the tribe's traditions. Suppose he managed to keep his druidic powers secret, unlike being the chieftain's son, warrior elite etc, etc. But somewhere post-book/, while they're all happily farming, something terrible happens, animals dying, no crops, horrible weather, or Marcus gets really sick, whatever you like. And Esca is suddenly very fierce and BAMF and performing obscure bloody rituals, maybe tattooing Marcus to ward of evil spirits... It's all very mysterious and Marcus is promptly smitten. Or even more smitten than before. You know. Maybe Esca needs to fuck Marcus in Stonehenge to prevent the end of the world.
4)Esca/Marcus, anger issues, stand-off
Marcus has a temper and anger issues. Esca is the only one who doesn't back down or back off.Bonus points if Esca is still a slave.
I absolutely adore this, cause it has so much potential for wonderful and spot-on characterization while still being quite short and general. There seem to be quite a few fics out there with Marcus as the 'sappiest Master ever' but, I am of the fraction that things might not have been as rosy.
5) Esca/Marcus, Roman AU, powerful Esca
I'd like to read about Esca being in a position of power in the Roman empire, in spite of his ethnic background (is it even historically possible? it should be, it's an AU - maybe he's an emissary or a South-North Relations consultant, or an auxilia officer who got promoted for something extraordinary, IDEK, sorry :)), while Marcus is still an active military commander.
6)Esca/Marcus, modern AU, suicidal!Esca, hitman!Marcus, angst&violence
Esca wants to die (reasons up to the author), but he wants an honorable death (as far as it's possible) so he uses a middleman to contract a hit on himself.Marcus is a recognized professional, he always researches his targets thoroughly, so he knows that his target wants to die but will fight to his last breath.
Cue respect, guys bonding while trying to kill each other, and a happy ending :)Bonus points if Esca has some kind of a military (or similar) background and will pose some challenge for Marcus.
7)Esca/Marcus - massage & frotting
While Esca is still slave he's instructed to massage Marcus's bad leg. Marcus (who is wearing no trousers/leggings) lies on his stomach on the table while Esca massages him. Eventually the tension and UST builds between them until one day Esca's hands move further up, massaging Marcus's ass, etc, and that leads to frotting (either against each other or Marcus rubbing off against the table while Esca massages him).
8) Esca/Marcus/Esca, magical threesome
Happy (Pre-)Gay Farmers era.
Tired with all the hard work, Esca wishes there were two of him. Both he and Marcus are shocked then the wish is fulfilled. The new Esca is exactly the same as the old one and they get along splendidly, work, hunt and sleep together in a perfect unison. After a couple of days they begin to notice Marcus's foul mood. They come to a conclusion that he feels left out and lonely.
Cue both Escas seducing Marcus and making him feel wanted and needed :)
9)Esca/Marcus - movieverse, hate-sex
What it says on the tin - true, rough, merciless hatesex with Marcus and Esca seeing each other as equals and trying to get the upper hand.
They are both frustrated and hate each other and themselves for how much they care about the other, even though the other doesn't deserve it... Standard drill there :)
I don't care who ends up bottoming, Although I would appreciate the result to be kind a draw with both of them losing/winning :)
10)Esca/Marcus, movieverse, blindfold
Esca is a more dominant person in their relationship on any given day, but once in a while he needs to relinquish control, so he lets Marcus blindfold him.
Bonus points for confident, authoritative, but calm and caring Marcus.
11)Esca/Marcus, due south AU
Marcus first came to england on the trail of the killers and besmirchers of his father and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, he has remained attached as liaison to Scotland Yard.
Bonuses for: Cradoc as Vecchio, Esca as Kowalski, Aquila as his uncle's ghost, who visits him on lieu of his dad, who's been missing in ghostland for a while, and Esca having a dance step rug in his apartment and a gossipy landlady who tells Marcus everything about his habits.
12) Esca/Marcus, canon era, uniform kink
So, one day, for whatever reason (nostalgia? IDK) Marcus puts on his old centurion uniform. Esca walks in/helps him put it on, and finds it fuckhot. Nature takes its course. ;)
13) Esca/Marcus, canon era, Marcus has an epiphany One day, Marcus realizes who's really in charge in this relationship - and it's not him. He's not entirely sure he likes it... at first. Sex possibly, but not necessarily, ensues.
14) Esca/Marcus, political AU Esca and Marcus are representatives of two rival political parties drawn into a much-discussed coalition. They get on well on a personal level; it's that political business that keeps getting in the mix and ruining the epic friendship and sex. Bonus for Liathan. WITH A BEAUTIFUL COMPANY OF
motetus's ART THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL PROMPT. I WILL MAKE YOU A MOJITO IF YOU ADD A GAY TORY RESEARCHER PLACIDUS SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
OH ALL YE FAITHFUL, this week it was up to my wonderful accomplice Reverend
ladytiferet to choose two promps of the canon variety and for me to choose two AUs. We cannot help but hope that there is something for everyone in this week's Service and that donation will tumble, aplenty, upon the altar steps.

Prompt 1
Esca/Marcus, Angst!Fic, Running away, Chase
Set in the Roman period and post! verse. Marcus being the honourable Roman he is, runs away because he is ashamed of his feelings for Esca. Esca chases after him aggressively to confront him and offer comfort. Basically a simple angst!fic. Extra points for switching POV between Esca and Marcus back and forth during the chase.
PINING MARCUS ASHAMED OF HIS FEELINGS IS LIKE MY ULTIMATE FAVOURITE IN ALL THE UST-BASED CANON STORIES. And what’s not to like? Classics are classics for a reason.
Prompt 2
Esca/Seal Prince
So, there is a lot of fic out there already picturing Seal Prince having sex with Marcus or Marcus and Esca. But since here was sol much chemistry between Esca and Seal Prince, there should be more fic with these two, too.
How about this: Seal Prince wasn't killed in the last battle but (a true miracle!) suirvived. I don't know how.
Esca and Marcus return with the Eagle and afterwards want to lead a happy life but Seal Prinmce finds them and wants revenge...
So maybe he's trying to do... it... with Esca and Marcus finds them and steps in. Maybe he gets his revenge. Maybe hurt feelings are involved. Whatever. I don't care. But please anon, make it happen! O_O
SUGGESTED BY REVEREND TIF. I’m not much for non-con (like not at all), but I’m all about Esca/Liathan and the tension it creates between Marcus and Esca so yes yes, both Reverends support it.

Prompt 3
Esca/Marcus, Mentally Unfit AU
Possible warnings: Mental Instability, Emotional Themes, Power Issues, Abuse, Nonies Choice
Marcus just got a job at a mental institution. He has had similar jobs before so he thinks he knows what to expect. Nothing, however could prepare him for Esca: scarred, angry, beautiful, delusional Esca. Esca who keeps saying that he doesn't belong there, that he isn't mad, that the very institution is corrupt, that even Marcus isn't safe. Marcus can't trust a mad man can he?
Wants: Angst, Drama, self doubt (on both their parts?), and last but not least maybe UST and happily ever after.
THE TRULY EPIC POTENTIAL OF THIS PROMPT MAY SEEM INTIMIDATING BUTTTT a series of episodes/vignettes is perfectly doable I am sure!
filled in a heart-clenchingly stunning Breaking the Walls
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY FAVOURITE FOR THIS WEEK:
Prompt 4
Esca/Marcus, Esca sleeps with everyone apart from Marcus
Marcus and Esca are friends, maybe even flatmates.
The thing is, Esca sleeps with a different person every other night but he never tries to get into Marcus's pants, even though he's pretty flirtatious in their everyday interactions.
Maybe Marcus is pining after him, maybe he just feels sort of offended and left out, either way, there is a point when he just can't take it anymore.
SLUTTY ESCA IS FOREVER MY FAVOURITE!!
