Chains: The Powerfic Archive
Founded in 2000 and originally entitled "Boys in Chains: the slave!fic archive," the Chains archive is devoted to powerfic: stories about emotional bonds between people of different ranks or status. For example: master/slave, boss/employee, lord/liegeman, guard/prisoner, mentor/protégé, client/prostitute, officer/soldier, seme/yuke, or dominant/submissive.
Stories can be about gen relationships (such as family, friendship, romantic friendship, or smarm) or about relationships based on sexual attraction: m/m, f/f, m/f, or f/m. Transgender and genderqueer stories are welcome. Fan works, RPF, and original works are all welcome. See our collection's Profile for more about our history and rules, and this announcement post to learn more about the import.

It's an AU that takes place in an AU-European North of the 13th Century, in the manner of a Guy Gavriel Kay setting. I think.

Summary
"Fairview was the finest friend a man could have, and the finest battle-companion. I dared not risk doing anything that might break our friendship."
On a hot summer's day, on a high hill surrounded by the enemy, the best battle-companion can turn out to be the truth.
Rook and Fairview have worked alongside each other for years, first as officers in the navy, then as officers on a steamship, and finally as colonels in an invading army. Members of a nation where tiny differences in rank are considered all-important, the two men defy convention by treating each other as equals.
But now their life-long bond is about to meet its greatest strain, when they are ordered to seize and defend a hill whose landscape is unknown, in the company of soldiers who may be incompetent or treacherous. Will Rook and Fairview's friendship remain by the end of the battle? Or will their lives take an unexpected detour as they struggle to survive on Spy Hill?

Summary
"Weldon, if there were any other Seeker I could assign this prisoner to, I would."
A mysterious prisoner. A chance to begin again.
Reeling from a personal tragedy, Weldon Chapman is assigned what appears to be a clear-cut case of extracting a confession from a young man who has committed murder in front of dozens of witnesses.
But the prisoner comes from a neighboring country where ancient customs continue to be practiced. As Weldon penetrates the mystery surrounding his prisoner, he will come to realize that he cannot keep his distance from the agony of this tragedy, nor from the agony that lies within himself.
