Summary
“I’m going to die.”
“Don’t be daft, Niall. It’s six months.”

———
Niall goes to prison for perjury.

Summary
The merchant, Gnaeus, who had sold Marcus this property, had spoken of a solid main building, of well-kept pens and fertile soil, all newly abandoned by deceitful tenants and only cheap because he was tired of the whole business and wanted the land off his hands for good. He had talked of neighbours and a village nearby with opportunities of trade, but he had entirely failed to mention that the house lay deep in tribal country.

Summary
1x02. Ruben and Niall don’t get interrupted when dancing. They end up in Niall’s dorm bed.
Laughter, this ear-piercing, breathy chuckle, resounds throughout the room, a scalp-singeing gust along the crown of Niall’s head. Christ—he wants to disappear, shrivel up and disintegrate into dust. Maybe if it were under any other circumstance, Niall could appreciate hearing this sound, rarer than finding water in the desert, stirring from Ruben.
“Fucking precious, Bambers.” Ruben’s lungs puff out a full-chested cackle, cresting high and sun-bright around the edges. “My God, I can’t believe you. Gettin’ a stiffy just from two lads having a lie down together.”
