Four Letters from Centurion Drusillus by bunn
Fandoms: Eagle of the Ninth Series - Rosemary Sutcliff

Summary
Centurion Drusillus, Marcus's second in command at Isca Dumnoniorum, was promoted after the siege in which Marcus was injured, and posted to to Borcovicus, on the Wall - twenty days march from his unofficial Isca Dumnoniorum family. Here are his letters home - including one where he mentions encountering his old Commander again. Drusillus was promoted to centurion from the ranks, so although he can read and write, he's not exactly an icon of literary style. :-D
(in The Eagle movie, Centurion Drusillus is renamed Lutorius Drusillus Salinator, but as there is a separate character in the book called Lutorius who dies in the battle, I've stuck with the name Drusillus). Written for the 2012 ninth-eagle fanmedia challenge.

Summary
In the midst of the Gallic Wars, Angelus Aziraphale, a respected Roman centurion, is stationed with his legion in a Roman camp. As a man of discipline and honor, Aziraphale has long suppressed any personal emotions, focusing solely on maintaining control over his men and ensuring victory for Rome.
However, everything changes when a Celtic prisoner is captured and brought to their camp. Aziraphale stumbles upon a shocking sight: one of his own men, a young legionary named Antonius Crowley, quietly assumes the submissive role in an intimate encounter with the prisoner. This unexpected revelation shakes the centurion to his core, as he begins to question the nature of power, control, and his own desires.
Initially repulsed by the vulnerability he witnesses, Aziraphale struggles with his growing fascination with Crowley, whose boldness and courage in battle contrast sharply with the image of submission in the hut.Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves drawn together in an unspoken bond, complicated by the rigid Roman norms and the tension of their military roles.
