"Subtext," our favorite anagram

wildestranger, author of the Yuletide Shakespeare/Marlowe fic "All the Pleasures Prove" and also of a short, hot Eagle fic titled "Conciliation," put up an entertaining post after having watched the movie for the second time in April 2011, titled "and then they lived happily together with freedom and buttsex."

Summary: The Rat, who was spying in Jiardasia, is arrested, thrown into a dungeon, and flogged. Marco personally rescues him and brings him back to Samavia, then comforts him. In bed. With most of his clothes off. With platonic intentions. Because he’s Marco. Fortunately for us, the Rat has other intentions.

Inspired by osprey_archer's "Nothing but the Truth."
