    Summary

    For Brutus, there is always time — time to consider, time to speak, time to make his point in twenty ponderously balanced lines. For Cassius, there is barely time to breathe.

    Summary

    A Roman general acquires a new sex slave. A novel-length m/m historical fiction with gobs of sex, plot twists, angst, humor and intrigue. While nearly all details are historically accurate and the story is tied to major historical events and prevailing cultural attitudes during the reign of the Emperor Trajan, the tale is entirely fictional and the dialogue is deliberately modern.

    Summary

    “My lord, for all your love for Iskander, will you not save him?”

    Bagoas had served Alexander for many years, and had come to witness and accept the relationship between the king and his favourite. But it was not until the end, when he gazed upon those eyes of the night for the last time, that he truly understood the love between the Alexander and Hephaistion.

    Summary

    A simple Greek lesson reaches deep when a tutor seeks to teach a prince what can happen when love and duty clash.

    "It is a great privilege that the gods have granted me: to serve as tutor and guide of the one who someday will serve as High King of this isle, uniting our people and thrusting back the darkness that has already overwhelmed so much of the world."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    While I love most Arthur/Merlin fics (regardless of source text - legends, shows, movies, books), this is one of my favorite in that it reflects the historical context with heartbreaking accuracy. And I love this Arthur. And this Merlin.

    Summary

    My king, do not think that my dedication to you and your cause has diminished. But, even if I die for it, my dignity will not bow to your pride.

    Even friendship had its limits and Alexander’s words, “Without me, you are nothing”, had cut Hephaistion deep.

    Summary

    In a letter to Aristotle, Hephaiston documents a brief detour to Meiza, the site of his formative education. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a peaceful few days reminiscing about old times is interrupted by two strange men the likes of which Hephaiston has never seen.

    Summary

    There is a secret Rider has, and that is that he can access his ultimate Noble Phantasm without manifesting it into the world around him. Such is the beauty of a reality marble. Waver takes no notice when Alexander sits down and withdraws into himself - he is already fast asleep, having crawled into bed and cast a spell for dreamless sleep moments after they returned from Caster’s workshop.

    Within moments of stepping into his camp, Rider is overwhelmed by familiar faces rushing to him, and he greets them all in turn. To five messengers, he asks that his best generals, bodyguards, second self, wife and friends be gathered for a symposium in his own tent, and they all disappear without asking for specific names. The king’s confidants do not need to be named, only gathered.

    Summary

    My subject in this tale is the life of Alexander the King. The career of this man embraced such a multitude of events that my preamble shall consist of nothing more than this one plea: if I do not record all his most celebrated achievements that you not regard this as a fault. Plutarch, Life of Alexander

    Alexander at the tomb of Achilles: Oh fortunate youth, to have found Homer as the herald of your glory! Cicero, Pro Archia

    With love and undying fame at stake, Alexander takes matters into his own hands.
