It's a WIP, and far from finished, but we'd appreciate any constructive comment/criticism.
Hopefully ,the historical content should be spot on as Ali's a professional archaeologist and Romanist. (o: but this is our first collaboration, and our first slash story - nothing too heavy yet (and nothing slashy at all in this first bit). The style's quite different from our usual, but we've written Jim and Blair speaking in more or less their usual modern English (with a bit of 2ndC BC tweaking), because Blair and Geminius would be speaking modern Latin to each other and, unless we actually write it in 145BC Latin - or Greek (they speak both), it's not going to be 'authentic', anyway.
Anyone on my flist should be able to see it, but you have to join to post. It has its own community which you can find, here -

I hope you enjoy it - it's a bit of a departure for both of us. It should be quite an angst fest , and it's slash! ::G::

I am so envious of you all getting to go see Garett!
What exactly IS The Belfry? The only belfry I know is the one with bats in it. Heh heh! =>}
Angsty slash is my favourite. Mmmmmm. *g*

Most of my knowledge of the period comes from m'Latin & Greek O levels. But I'm certainly learning a heck of a lot doing this story (research has been frighteningly diligent!). And since Ali's very pro-Roman and I'm not (o:, I hope, together, we can do the Jim/Blair dynamic justice ::G::
And - leaving in a few hours, huh? SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (Dad's up now!)

I love ancient history too - especially this period and the eastern Med. The story should be nicely angsty - hope you enjoy it.

I'm so shallow *g*
I'm sure the history-bit will be good for me too...
