Title: Hard to dance with a devil on your back
Author: Merle
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairing: Agron/Nasir (a bit of Naevia/Crixus, Mira/Spartacus)
Word Count: 1641
Spoilers: Spoilers through season 3, nothing super specific
Disclaimer: Not mine. Spartacus is property of Starz, Nasir belongs to Agron. The title is a line from Florence + The Machine's song "Shake it out"
Warnings: Modern AU, pre-slash, PTSD, mental health issues, smoking, mention of alcohol abuse, veterans, disability
Summary: A PTSD support group in Albany, NY. Agron is angry, Spartacus feels guilty, Naevia eats cookies, and Nasir really needs a cigarette.
A/N: Yeah, I don't know. I have no excuse - except that I kept thinking that these guys really, really need someplace to talk about all that awful shit they've been going through.
This story deals with issues of PTSD, and therapy, and while it is definitely not making light of the matter, there is a bit of resigned sarcasm, from the POV of someone who's dealing with it. If that bothers/triggers you, please be careful.
