Art: Memories of the North [Eagle of the Ninth]

[motetus]

First piece for the Eagle Reverse Bang! This is bookverse Uncle Aquila (though I've kept Uncle Aquila looking like Donald Sutherland, because Donald Sutherland is very pretty) remembering a happy moment between his young self and his Painted Tribesman Boyfriend, inspired by his line in the book “I have sworn the blood brotherhood with a painted tribesman up beyond where Hadrian’s Wall stands now...”

Fittingly, the person who originally gave me this idea many months ago ended up being the one writing the accompanying fic. isiscolo, thank you so much for writing the story I have been craving for ages, and for being such an awesome person to work with. I might not have read it yet (I like surprises!), but I have no doubt it'll be utterly fantastic.

Blood Brother by isiscolo (Uncle Aquila and OMC, rated G)

Thanks go to demon_rum and goblin_dae for all their help beating this into shape, and isiscolo for the title!
