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 .

Dates

• 3/25 - Prompting/Writing Begin Early

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

-blush blush- Thank you! Your support is very much appreciated. I feel slightly less nervous about writing this stuff now, so I'm working on a couple more things, which hopefully be okay too :D

This was amazing, I love your writing style! i really hope you will keep on writing prompts for Spartacus after this Kink Meme ;)

[clutched_light]

AMAZING! Completely. An air of nostalgia, a bit of sorrow and lot of hope. Brilliant.
