Summary
The son of the man who lost the Eagle of the Ninth would never be allowed a first command of his very own fort, would he?
Marcus is posted not to Isca Dumnoniorum, but to a wretched and run-down garrison north of the Wall. There he finds that he is the new centurion of a group of scouts and spies, all of them British. He has few supplies and no experience. His men distrust him. His superiors despise him. His second-in-command is an incompetent drunkard. And the local tribes are determined to kill all of them.
But the worst thing of all is one of Marcus' soldiers. He is an enigmatic, dangerous, and insubordinate man by the name of Esca, who makes Marcus yearn for terrifying things he has never before wanted and can never, ever let himself have...

This is a sort of starter pack for people new to my work: they're kind of author's favorites and kind of "most popular" and subject to change. :D

Summary
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters used from Torchwood and Doctor Who; they are the property of Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and the BBC. I do get to play with them. I do own any character created by myself within this story.
Warnings: I will warn that there are scenes of a sexual nature, but this is Torchwood, so you’d expect that and a limited amount of violence.
There have been so many AU stories with pupils that I thought I’d do one with staff instead. The setting is Torchwood High School on the outskirts of Cardiff. There will be characters from Torchwood and Doctor Who and some of my own from other stories and some created specifically for this one. I have used episodes from Series 1 and 2 as a background to the story followed by Children of Earth so be warned. We begin with Ianto Jones first day at his new school, Torchwood High.
