*BIG GRIN* Yay, now I don't feel like such a history dork ^_^ Mine's set during Trajan's reign. Tony's a young praetorian who's been appointed to the general's staff (btw, Furius! ^_^) in the Legio I Minervia in Lower Germania where Steve is a soldier (haven't decided on rank). Tony becomes Antonianus (an agnomen/nickname) and Steve becomes Starnus (a made-up latinization of a barbarian name)

Hijinks and plottishness ensue, particularly in the form of barbarian attacks. I touch a little bit on the uncoolness of being... err, receptive in teh ghey relationships. Most of my story takes place in Germania but there is also an assassination plot - it's Ancient Rome, they're practically required ^_^

Yay! It sounds like our stories are going to be pretty different - I can't wait! This is going to be so cool. I love AUs! ^_^
