Summary
The place was Cafe Bercilak. The place you went to drown your sorrows, forget your sins, gamble your life away. Tony hadn't been much for the last of those. The first two, though ...
And then, the shadow of war finally swept over Morocco, and brought past sins along with it.
An Avengers/Casablanca fusion, essentially. Tony-centric. Will possibly head in a Tony/Loki direction, later.

Claudius Hieronimianus’s People by bunn
Eagle of the Ninth Series - Rosemary Sutcliff, Eagle of the Ninth - Rosemary Sutcliff

Summary
Contains: Placidus with curly Greek hair. A Legate who is Egyptian, like in the book, not a chubby white guy like in the film. Roman Imperialism. Mostly-failed attempt at improbable crossover with Le Carré.
It seemed to me just a little bit neat that Esca met the Tribune Placidus on a wolf hunt, then a year later, Placidus came with his Legate to stay with Uncle Aquila. And it’s also quite neat that Uncle Aquila’s old friend the Legate, who hasn’t seen him for 18 years, comes to visit with a pressing piece of news about the Eagle having been seen in the far North - a piece of news that is uniquely important to Marcus. And of course there is Placidus - such an annoying jerk, coming out with awkward truths at just the right moment to push Marcus the right way. Then, when Marcus and Esca get back to Calleva against all the odds, there’s the Legate - not based in Calleva - coincidentally staying with Uncle Aquila again!
What if those aren’t all coincidences?
Thanks to smillaraaq for beta reading and many helpful suggestions. Any stupid mistakes are probably in the bits I added on afterwards. And philmophlegm for helping me work out what the Legate was doing in Rome.

Just because Jensen didn't say it straight out didn't make it any less true: this was his career over, and the shock of that might have been worse than the shock of getting shot.

Summary
Charles is the great shame of the house of courtesans he was born into. Unable to write poetry or compose music or make grand works of art, he is deemed a complete failure. Resigned his entire life to being relegated to a dusty corner, a shadowy figure purchases him and gives him a purpose and a prickly bodyguard with more than a slight objection to Charles' chosen profession.
Involving sword fights, unabashed mind reading, characters from the entire Marvel universe, and a metric ton of porn.
