Relationships Featured: Romantic: Agron/Nasir, light Crixus/Naevia.
Spoilers: All the Spartacus episodes up through Spartacus: Vengeance, ep 10, “Wrath of the Gods”

Summary: A friend dies, and the rebels slowly starve on Mount Olympus. Meanwhile, Nasir keeps a secret that’s eating him up inside.
Notes: Some missing moments from “Wrath of the Gods”, as well as introspection during scenes in the ep, and close-ups of background moments. Sequel to my fics “Across a Crowded Temple”, “Wild Dogs”, “Worth Wait”, and “Amends”, but could be read without reading any of them first.

Sample:

“When the time comes, do not look back,” Agron had warned Nasir, back when they were examining their escape tunnel, during the early days of their stay at the temple. “Move quickly and confidently, and set example for your friends from the villa. If you stop, everyone else stops with you, and last in line could get sword in back. If you run, others may follow suit, and someone may get trampled. I trust you to get others to safety while I cover rear.”

And who will cover you? Nasir had wanted to ask but didn’t. He wanted Agron to be able to rely on him. Agron was the warrior, and though Nasir knew a hundred times more about fighting than he once had, Argon was still far superior in that regard. It made sense for Agron to defend the rear. That didn’t mean Nasir had to like it. Still, he suspected that if he remained, he would prove a distraction to Agron, who would doubtless feel the need to defend Nasir’s flank along with his own. And Nasir did want to make sure his friends made it out safely. So even after they reached the outside, where they were almost caught by the Romans and Spartacus ordered them to retreat, Nasir didn’t seek out his beloved, but rather made his way up the mountain with bold and unrushed strides, torch in hand, silently encouraging those behind him by making forward motions with the light. It took everything he had to not look back and make sure Agron was following. All he could do was pray to the gods with every step that he and Agron would be reunited at the mountain’s peak ….

———————————————————-
o——o
Nasir fought not to run through the temple as he looked for Agron, buoyed through the halls by the news he couldn’t wait to share. He found Agron outside the room where the Roman woman was being kept; Spartacus was patting the man on the shoulder.

“Thank you, my friend,” Spartacus was saying.

Agron nodded, then noticed Nasir, his face splitting into a grin that lit the hall. Nasir felt himself reciprocate, his lips moving of their own accord — not that he disagreed with their action, but it still surprised him (in a good way) that his body reacted so strongly to Agron of its own accord. It was responding in other ways, too, for that matter ….

Agron kissed him, chaste but affectionate. Nasir bit back a growl of frustration — he wanted more, and he’d wanted it now. Hadn’t they waited long enough?

See deviation description after fic a link to the previous fic, and for acknowledgements.

PREVIEW:

Nasir didn’t want to say goodbye, so he didn’t. He didn’t tell Agron to return to him, either — anything even remotely suggesting that there might not be a reunion between them felt like it would be tempting the Fates’ crueler sides. But just in case, he had taken the ghost of Chadara’s advice, making the most of every moment in the two-week wait before Agron’s mission to Neapolis, not taking a single second for granted. If the Fates proved unkind, he would have no regrets.

Well, save for that his wound had, by both Agron’s insistence and that of the Medicus, prohibited anything more intimate than a kiss or a caress; the Medicus had only just released him from sleeping under her watch! But that wound had reunited another pair of lovers, and Nasir would not regret that. He only hoped that the Fates would bear that in mind ….

So he hugged his beloved, and kissed him, trailing fingers and eyes across Agron’s skin and committing everything about the man to memory.

It seemed Agron was trying to do the same.

“I will miss scent of you nearly as much as feel and sight,” Agron complained, burying his nose in the crook of Nasir’s neck and breathing deeply.

“And I, yours,” Nasir agreed, breathing in as well.

“I have notion!” Agron suddenly announced, pulling away. Nasir lamented the absence for all of half a second, until Agron then ordered, “Take off vest.”

Nasir obeyed, half afraid that his heart was about to burst as he did so. Were they going to throw caution to the wind, and risk the ire of the Medicus? Nasir did feel better ….

I wish my current otp (nagron) had more fanfiction! I’m just sitting here waiting for something to happen…

Psst - muses eat feedback like candy. The better they are fed,the more they produce. Even just a “like” is nice — it lets us know people are reading & enjoying, and therefore we aren’t wasting our time. (Of course, it’s entirely possible not many people actually like my fics. In which case, I guess I can’t help you. XD) (Deleted original posting of this response because I posted it to the wrong tumblr. *headdesk*)

Spartacus: Vengeance Nagron fic: Across a Crowded Temple

Rating: PG-13
Genres/Themes: Character Study (Nasir and Agron, some Naevia and Chadara), Drama, Romance, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Introspection, Fluffy, Missing Scenes, Episode Tag
Relationships Featured: Romantic: Agron/Nasir, light Crixus/Naevia, faint Donar/Chadara; Friends: Nasir/Chadara, Nasir/Agron/Naevia, slight Nasir/Agron/Mira and Nasir/Agron/Spartacus
Spoilers: All the Spartacus episodes up to Spartacus: Vengeance ep 6: “Chosen Path”
Length: a little under 3500 words
Notes: Takes place during “Empty Hands”, and explores the thoughts of Nasir and Agron during it.

PREVIEW:

Nasir knew the warmth at his back was not simply the sun — even if he hadn’t just been talking to Agron when Spartacus had begun his speech, he would have known where Agron was. So long as they were in the same are, within sight of each other, Nasir had discovered that he simply knew where Argon was, could feel his presence as palpably as the light of Apollo’s Chariot, at any given moment. And so, when the heat at his back suddenly vanished, he noticed. Further, he knew exactly where it — where Agron — went. Without any effort to look, Nasir’s eyes were drawn to Agron as the man made his way to the side of Crixus. He smiled fondly, guessing what the big German was intending to do.

And then something went wrong.
