Just one last pic of Titus and his pretty eyes before I have to move onto something else. Can't help myself, Titus and Lucius and the slashiest pair since Marcus and Esca strolled north of Hadrian's Wall (that's the chronological viewing, thereof, as Marcus' adventures historically occur much later than Titus', I think - BA? Wot BA?). It's just one of those things. The first time I watched Rome it was just so much homework and no fun at all. A year later and, watching it with a spurious romantic narrative which I seem to paste onto all action flicks, and it's sooo much fun. Besides, Rome is about brotherly love, the testing of it, the lack of it, true love and false whispers.

And besides, the look on Lucius' face when he realises he's about to watch Titus die in front of him and he just cannot do it, despite the consequences (though Julius is such a big softy when it comes to the boys), and if the testing of the bonds of brotherly love via mortal combat weren't enough, there's lashings of H/C to follow. Squeee!!!
