Four Times Antony Didn't Say It, And One Time He Did
Fandom: Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Marc Antony/Octavian
Warnings: Slash; some (consensual) sexual violence; possible consent issues.
Summary: Marc Antony's world has been shattered. A short time ago, he was Caesar's right-hand man; now, he's leading an army in hot pursuit of two former friends who betrayed and murdered his patron. Joining Antony's quest for revenge is Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, whom Antony finds infuriating - and distracting in all the worst ways.
Notes: This fic is set, for the most part, in the world of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; the overall structure and setting come from the play. However, I've also drawn in details from different historical accounts here and there, notably Suetonius's The Twelve Caesars. Occasionally, one account may contradict the other. Any straight-up historical errors are, of course, my own.
