2nd Annual Spartacus Kink Meme

[staringiscaring]

What is a kink meme? You request a pairing and a prompt/kink (anonymously if you like), and someone else will fill that request anonymously (if they like). Check out the kink meme from last year for how this works in action. Post prompts about any season, character or pairing. Inspired by the venerable st_xi_kink .

I have noooo idea if this is what you want, lovely Anon. Probably not, as it's written well in the future (their future, not ours, obviously). But yeah, this is my first attempt at filling a prompt, and it might be awful, so if anyone wants to step in and write something else, feel free! (Oh, and the change from the in-series quote from 'me' to 'us' is intentional. Also, title credit to Bon Iver.)

Title: the sound of the unlocking and the lift awayHe has been many things in his life; a brother, a slave, a rebel, a lover, to name but a few. As his years wind down to their inevitable end, the vitality of youth long worn away, it is the memories of being a lover that remain strongest, drawn into sharp focus even as the present and the most recent past begin to slip out of focus. He still recalls the feel of the slave collar around his neck, and the sword in his hand, but they pale next to memories of broad shoulders, scarred skin, a passionate, explosive spirit, forever accompanied by the smell of worn leather, sweat and the heat

Anon prompter here: This is fabulous. It's heartbreaking but so sweet and hopeful. Identifying my favorite part would be hard because I really just want to quote the whole thing. This is so much more than what I asked for. You went above and beyond here getting inside Nasir's head and showing him cherishing days and moments long gone with Agron and his rebel family. Just brilliant!

Yayyy, oh my god, I'm so relieved that you like it! I was freaking out after posting it. Thank you so much for your kind comments.

[clutched_light]

haha, I've totally been fan-girling over your two Nagron fanfics, so this means a lot to me. Thank you, and sorry about your keyboard =P

[clutched_light]

Yesss, I really adored the scars prompt, that was exceptional. I am going to be writing more! (Addicted now...) I have a couple of things knocking around in my brain, and I posted an Agron-y thing yesterday, I think, or today. -bad memory-

[clutched_light]

Ooo, I'm excited to see what you write. I'm sure I'll like it :D The Agrony one is on my journal, it's a bit of a ramble really, but hopefully not terrible.

This was beautiful; the way you show Nasir's devotion to Agron and the rebels, and his constant hope that soon he could return to them.

[clutched_light]

Thank you! I'm kind of a sucker for love that lasts even after one half of the couple has died. >.> But I like adding a bit of hope in there, if I can, otherwise it's just crushingly sad, and the belief in the after-life from the in-canon times is a good way to bring that hope.

[staringiscaring]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww, my goodness, this is just so beautiful! Thanks for posting this.

[clutched_light]

I'm so glad you liked it, makes me giddy! Thank you!

[staringiscaring]

It was wonderful. :D

[onetym4_urmind]

[clutched_light]
