Dreamt of a BuckTommy ancient Rome AU where Tommy is a Centurion (named something like Tiberius or close to his name) and Buck is a young Gael warrior (named Eogan) who was captured during a roman raid. Anyway, Eogan is feral at first and they don't understand each other because they don't speak the same language and also, Tiberius is roman so Eogan hates his guts but there's something about the square man in the red cape, how he cares, how there's a question in his eyes, a desire to leave this campaign, leave Rome, leave it all, and for Tiberius it's the same, he had never really wanted for anything, or even anyone until he met this ragged, savage warrior, covered in blood and mud with his twisting tattoos and warpaint, and still the ghost of a boy hidden behind his hardened features.

#bucktommy #au ideas #at this point it has no actual ties to the show #it's more like i would cast Lou and Oli in this movie u get me?#and like Eogan gets captured to become a gladiator and it takes like 10 roman soldiers pointing their lances at him for Eogan to stop #swinging his axe around and get to his knees #and at first Eogan is seething he spits in Tiberius' face the first time he brings him food #but for some reason Tiberius isn't angry he's intrigued #and during their trip back to Rome Eogan and Tiberius get close #and Tiberius buys him so Eogan can escape a life of slavery #and back in Rome Eogan tries to Romanise himself #He cuts his hair #wears roman clothes #cuts the small braids his sister had braided for him since he was little #but he hates it and Tiberius does too #he hates being under Rome's thumb #He wants to leave and live out his days with Eogan #Eogan tells Tiberius about Ireland and the Tuathe De Danann and rolling hills of green #and so they end up leaving in secrecy and travel up north to make a new life for themselves #is this anything or #mim rambles #mim writes
