Hey so y'all remember when I was writing this Escus Modern Gay Horse Farm AU like a million years ago and then life stepped on me? Well GUESS WHAT, I AM BACK BABY!!! And chapter 9 is a GO.

It's a nice, long chapter, so long I actually had to split it up into two parts, but the second part is finished and just undergoing final edits and should be up by Saturday or Sunday! But until then, check out all 12,400 words of Chapter 9, part A. This chapter features gratuitous misuse of the weather and the laws of nature for the sake of the plot, bone apple tea.

Chapter 9a AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31534703/chapters/122557675 Title: shed my skin to let you in Rating: E Pairing: Marcus/Esca (The Eagle) Chapter: 9a/11. Fic Summary: After a less-than-pleasant break up with his long term partner, Liathan, Esca decides he needs a change of scenery. On a whim, he purchases a horse ranch in rural Tennessee, hoping to start anew and pursue his life-long passion for horses. Esca longs for time to devote solely to himself, a place to think, and as much distance between him and the awful memories he left behind in England. What he doesn't expect is the overly-friendly and overly-handsome farrier, Marcus, for whom - despite his best efforts - Esca can't help but fall.

I'm saving up for a cricut vinyl cutter, so I thought I should open up ko-fi prompts.

With your tip, leave a fandom/pairing and a prompt (And rating) to get a piece of writing in exchange. Every $3 tip will get you 300 words, so $15 = 1,500 words and so on.

If you don't see your fandom in the tags, you can still ask me if I'm familiar enough to write for it.

Modern AU where Marcus is a veteran soldier in physical therapy after getting shot in the leg. Esca works at the gym where he goes for therapy. Initially, Cottia is his PT, and as she’s leading him to one of the private rooms for his session, he looks to his left and sees Esca doing ballet in one of the empty halls and literally cannot get over the beauty of it.

Cottia has to leave after a while so Esca takes over.

They fall in love while desperately trying to remain professional and pretending they’re not in love.

It ends with Esca saying “I can’t do this anymore,” and Marcus misunderstands and thinks he can’t bear being Marcus’ PT anymore because he’s not “““improving”““ or “““working hard enough”““ but actually it’s Esca like ‘if i have to take one more session with you I will either just nut in my pants or hold you down on a bench and ride you until you can’t see straight any more’.
