<blockquote>Marcus is a common-born ex-soldier working in his uncle's pottery workshop when he meets Esca, the son of a local Atrebates horse-trader. A canon-era AU, where everyone is not quite so noble. Things look a little different from a lower perspective. Note: The sex in this story occurs while both parties are quite drunk, and I guess could be read as dubcon because of that. They're both quite enthusiastic, though.</blockquote>
