A/N: Part of The Long Way Home 'verse. Title from Placebo's Without You I'm Nothing.
Rating: Very Light R (Some art may be considered NSFW depending on your work place.)
Summary: In 71 BCE, Spartacus and his forces are nearing the end of the rebellion. After a failed escape plan, Agron and a handful of others are separated and forced to flee on the seas south to survive. This is the story of how they learn to live and cope in a new world.
Warnings: As Agron is suffering an injury, this fic deals with the mental state of coping with a bodily injury and feeling useless. I know this can be triggering for some people, so I’m putting that warning here. There are also some scenes that can be construed as ptsd-flashbask-esque. There is also a mention of off-screen character death via crucifixion, though none such torture is described.
Disclaimer: Spartacus belongs to Starz. This is a fanwork with no profit made of offense intended. Part titles come from Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Notes: This fic is both a canon and historical alternate universe take on what occurs in Spartacus post-Vengeance. Anything that occurs in War of the Damned not seen in the pre-season promos is strictly coincidence and this will not be compliant with that continuation of the story. In terms of history, while inspired by the actual time period and events of the last battles of the historical rebellion, this completely deviates from that as well. Gannicus’ death occurs much earlier in this fic ‘verse than it did in history. Modern German phrases and writing are used at times within the fic in place of what would’ve been the written Germanic runes and the spoken language of the time.
On the art: All the amazing artwork for this fic was done by Miss Steorie. The pictures are combined with the text and when you click on them you can go to photobucket to download the full sized files. I highly suggest you do this as there are so many amazing details and so much work put into them, you owe it to yourself to appreciate the full beauty.
Summary: This is not how Nasir expected his war to end.
