a/n; look at this, it’s another classics au (what asurprise). anyway yeah, I really like writing this kind of au; so here is another one. hopefully enjoyable?
title; ducunt fate volentem (nolentem trahunt)
pairings; smornby
warnings; death, violence, nonconsensual kissing (it’s like barely there really but just to be sure)
word count; 3179
summary; ross is a roman general who comes across the fallen greek alexandros on the battle field. not killing him is the first thing he does to surprise alexandros, but it’s not the last.
The clouds above him are gathering.
Alexandros looks up, watches them spell out a fate which they (he) cannot escape and fears for his life. His fingers tremble and he grips the dagger in his hand tighter to steady them. The steel digs into the flesh of his palm and he feels trickles of blood sliding down his wrist.
The gods have forsaken them and without them Alexandros thinks (knows) they might not survive.
Alexandros raises his bloody hand and salutes the sky.
