New Barca/Pietros fic - Blessed by the Gods!

Pietros has lived a relatively good life for a slave. But when his owner dies and he is sold, he soon learns he will be heading to a ludus. In this fic, Pietros tells us his story – including how he and Barca first get together. 

Thank you @guggi04 for the cover art!

One Afternoon

Written for the Spartacus drabble-athon over on the Nagron Discord. This is based on this picture I drew a while ago.

Prompt: Peace

Not beta'd but I hope you like.

[zalrb]

What do you think are the most tragic love stories in tv shows and movies that you've seen?

OK, so, spoilers. I’ve mentioned all of these couples already so I’m sorry if it’s repetitive. And this isn’t in any particular order.

Jax and Tara, Sons of Anarchy

I mention them a lot but Jax and Tara had such an embedded love and an intense pull, it had been ten years since she left Charming but when she got back they were immediately drawn into each other.

Their relationship was a source of hope for Jax while also a source of conflict because it was the only other thing that he loved as much as his club while with Tara, her love for Jax was undeniable but it took her to really dark places yet provided a lot of good in her life like her two sons and the love of a man who would do anything for her, anything except leave his club. But when he finally puts her first, finally puts his family first, when he’s finally being just a husband and a father and they reconcile after the amount of damage they inflicted on each other, she’s brutally murdered:

Noah and Rosalee, Underground

It’s only the second season of Underground so the fate of their relationship hasn’t been decided yet but it’s tragic because well Underground is about enslavement and about the various avenues taken to dismantle it and the main characters were a group of enslaved people who ran away from their plantation. Noah was the ring leader, passionate and devoted and committed and he believed in Rosalee when she couldn’t even see her own strength. Throughout the period of them running from the law and slave catchers and just white civilians, they have these moments of respite where they can gaze at each other or touch one another but then they have to keep moving because they’re fighting for their lives. When they finally are like a step away from freedom, they can finally have a moment long enough to consummate their love.

However, Noah is recaptured almost immediately after they have sex and Rosalee spends a lot of time and makes a very risky plan to get him back and you think that she will succeed because Noah escapes

but then he’s once again recaptured and she doesn’t know if he’s alive or dead.

Alisha and Simon, Misfits

Alisha was originally very mean to Simon because he was an outcast and a loner and frankly, weird, but then Simon from the future comes to the present to save Alisha’s life because in the future Alisha dies and she ends up falling in love with Future Simon which helps her fall in love with Present Simon except Future Simon dies protecting Present Alisha while Future Alisha had already died so basically they were both doomed to die.

Jal and Chris, Skins UK

Jal and Chris are a relationship in which the “overachiever” and “screw-up” relationship works really well because Jal is supposed to be uptight and focused and she’s very critical while Chris parties and does way too many drugs so one day they decide to help each other, where Jal has to say “Yes” to things because all she does is say “no” and Chris has to stop saying yes or his tagline “fuck it”

and try so they actually nuance each other and they go through a lot, he deeply hurts her and she goes through some unexpected challenges but they manage to make it through and then he dies:

Naevia and Crixus, Spartacus

Crixus and Naevia are tragic in two parts. The first part is Spartacus: Blood and Sand (this is the Naevia I prefer, they changed actresses in Spartacus: Vengeance) so Lucretia who is the domina, mistress, of the household uses Crixus as her sex slave, he’s only supposed to belong to her but Crixus falls in love with Naevia who is Lucretia’s “most trusted” personal slave so there are moments for instance where Naevia has to watch Lucretia and Crixus have sex and stand guard in case Batiatus, Lucretia’s husband, comes home. If that isn’t enough Batiatus gives Naevia to Ashur who is Crixus’ enemy and Ashur rubs it in his face so Crixus goes ballistic which lets Lucretia know that Naevia and Crixus were together so Lucretia beats Naevia

and then sells her off to be a sex slave, she’s used as a “gift”, being dragged to different households for esteemed men to rape in order for the House of Batiatus to gain favour.

When Crixus and Naevia finally reunite (this is the new actress), they end up dying.

Spartacus and Sura, Spartacus

Spartacus defied a Roman and was condemned to slavery along as his wife (but separately), Batiatus trains him to be a gladiator and says that if he fights and wins in the arena, he will be reunited with Sura. However, Spartacus is disobedient and rebellious, he has no regards to actually “honour” his master, he just cares about Sura and that’s a problem because his fights in the arena are gaining favour for Batiatus so he needs him so Batiatus has her delivered to Spartacus but tells the man who drives her to slit her throat before entering the gates so Sura dies in Spartacus’ arms.

Pietros and Barca, Spartacus

Pietros is a soft, young slave and Barca is a formidable gladiator who only shows his softness with Pietros and Barca wants to wins enough money to buy him and Pietros freedom but Ashur owes Barca a lot of money that he won’t pay so Barca threatens to kill him so Ashur creates a series of events that end with Batiatus slitting Barca’s throat, they then tell Pietros that Barca bought hiss own freedom and left him behind so obviously Pietros is heartbroken but then because Barca isn’t around to protect him he is consistently raped and beaten by another gladiator so Pietro commits suicide.

Silas and Amara, The Vampire Diaries

They were barely onscreen together and their story is really short but it’s really sad and that Dobsley chemistry, man.

Cesare and Lucrezia, The Borgias

OK, Cesare and Lucrezia is an interesting case because it’s incest and I usually find the inclusion of incest in narratives gratuitous, like, why  but the reason why Cesare and Lucrezia worked for me is because I thought the show did an excellent job in showing the shame and the guilt and the self-disgust that comes out of a dynamic like the one they have, Cesare is inwardly torn to shreds about how he feels for Lucrezia but it’s this overwhelming force that Lucrezia describes as, “a dark cloud descended upon me” and I find them tragic because who wants to feel this way? The situation is entirely fucked up and it affects them fundamentally:

Mickey and Ian, Shameless

No one dies, just, they don’t end up together and after all the shit they went through and everything they mean to each other, it’s just tragic that they’re not together.

Stefan and Elena, The Vampire Diaries

No explanation needed.

Buffy and Angel, Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I find it both beautiful and messed up that as long as Buffy and Angel love each other they can’t be together because the minute Angel experiences any form of true happiness, he loses his soul so they have to stay away from each other, it’s an inherently doomed relationship:

Robb and Talisa, Game of Thrones

I mean, *sigh* I have conflicting feelings about Talisa and Robb because Robb was my favourite character until Talisa because he was such an idiot and short-sighted and just, he was such a badass until he fucked up over her and that pissed me off but I still liked their scenes together and it did not need to go down the way it did.

That’s all for now.

[thrlv]

OK, but I'm still PISSED about how Barca and Pietros' story ended and Im sad and agry and sad and angry and FUCK EVERYTHING

[frozenmemories1987]

Return of the Birds

Addendum to Eternal Tethers, inspired by @oriako and @blueskaerith

Written by @stormkpr

After months of separation Pietros and Barca are finally reunited again. They have both changed, but the pull toward each other is still strong as ever.

Read on AO3

[elven-jedi]

Does anyone get OTP feels so strong that you want to laugh and cry at the same time?

[shirasade]

The magistrate came just in time.

Adult, fix-it AU. I found this almost finished in my GDrive last week and decided to wrap it up, fixing one of the saddest moments in season 1, Barca’s death and Pietros’s sad fate.

[stormkpr]

Ever wondered what might happen if the ludus’ power couple, Auctus and Barca, were both still alive and together when Pietros arrived? We wondered too. So here’s chapter 1 of Every Terrible Thing, cowritten by @kallisto-k and me.

[cuthian]

Alright then. I was tagged by @juuls​ and @terapid​. Should be interesting enough :p 

Rules: Copy and paste the last sentence you wrote, then tag as many people as there are words in the line.

I had to actually check, since I wasn’t sure which was the last bit I wrote, but here you go :D

“He doesn’t know if he has room in his life for more.” So, very short sentence, from my fic Wrestle & Win. It’s a Spartacus (tv series) Modern!AU soulmate fanfiction with several pairings, Agron and Nasir and Duro, Pietros, Barca and Auctus as the main ones. Most other canon couples are mentioned too :D 

I mean...

Look at them. 

How could I not write about them? :p 

Let’s see... @the-reylo-void @laurenkmyers and anyone else who’d like to give this a go :D Be sure to tag me, so I won’t miss your post!

Dante, A divina comédia, nove curiosidades 1. Além do grande poema A divina comédia, Dante Alighieri escreveu outras formas poéticas, tais como sonetos, baladas e canções; esses textos foram reunidos em obras como La Vita Nuova (integralmente a dedicado a contar sobre o amor por Beatriz  — imagem 2, Dante e Beatriz, iluminura de entre 1380-1400) e em Le Rime, seu canzoniere. E escreveu textos de intervenção crítico-filosófica, como Il Convívio e De Monarchia. 2. Dante se referiu ao longo poema que escreveu entre 1304 e 1321 como Commedia e na ocasião visava contrapor o texto ao modelo da tragédia. Diferentemente do fim marcado pela usura, morte ou loucura, o itinerário do herói alcança no poema um desfecho feliz, se assim considerarmos o gesto de contemplação a Deus. O acréscimo ao título tal como ficou reconhecido, isto é, La divina resulta muito possivelmente da leitura de Giovanni Boccaccio escrita entre 1357 e 1362 — La Vita di Dante — que assim designava o poema. 3. A primeira parte de A divina comédia, “Inferno”, veio a público entre 1314 e 1315 em Verona; um ano depois, “Purgatório”. “Paraíso” só aparece depois da morte de Dante, a partir do tratamento dado pelos filhos Pietro e Jacopo Alighieri, depois que este teria recebido em sonho uma visão sobre o destino dos treze últimos cantos então desaparecidos. 4. Das várias anedotas que se conta sobre o motivo de composição de A divina comédia, duas delas são sempre recorrentes: o poeta à espera do perdão de Deus depois de uma grave crise religiosa; uma alternativa de fazer na terra a justiça divina aos “amigos” e “detratores”. 5. Dante contribuiu para o nascimento da língua italiana ao eleger o dialeto florentino em vez do latim para escrever sua obra-prima. O sucesso de A divina comédia  contribuiu para que outros autores da Idade Média, entre eles Francesco Petrarca e Giovanni Boccaccio, escrevessem também em dialeto, firmando assim as bases do italiano moderno. 6. Beatriz — a que traz felicidade — é um nome que se tornou popular a partir de A divina comédia. É uma das figuras fundamentais para a travessia de redenção do peregrino: é dela atitude de intervir a Virgílio que socorra Dante e depois é quem o guia por uma parte do paraíso. Especula-se que seja uma figura modelada a partir de Beatrice Portinari, uma paixão de infância do poeta florentino. 7. Machado de Assis compôs a paródia de um Canto V do “Inferno” na sua coluna jornalística assinada com o pseudônimo de Dr. Semana da Semana Ilustrada e traduziu o Canto XXV também do “Inferno” publicada no jornal Globo. Além disso, se utilizou com frequência de A divina comédia como intertexto em toda sua obra. 8. Gerações de escritores, pintores, escultores, músicos e diretores de cinema, autores de HQ se inspiraram no poema A divina comédia. Podemos citar, os pintores do renascimento italiano Sandro Botticelli (imagem 1) e Michelangelo, o pintor francês Eugène Delacroix (imagem 3, A barca de Dante), o espanhol Salvador Dalí (imagem 4), o inglês William Blake, o compositor russo Tchaikovski, os criadores da saga X-Men. “O beijo”, a famosa escultura de Auguste Rodin representa Paolo e Francesca, os amantes adúlteros que Dante encontra no segundo círculo do inferno.   9. Em busca da forma perfeita, há uma variedade de obsessões que constituem a organização de A divina comédia. O poeta emprega a terza rima como referência para a trindade e daí deriva a organização em tercetos, em três partes formadas cada uma por 33 cantos; mesmo considerando o primeiro canto como uma introdução para da primeira parte do poema (esta com 34) o resultado é ainda harmônico — 100 cantos. Ganham importância os números quatro (os elementos naturais), sete (os pecados capitais e círculos do purgatório) e nove (os círculos do inferno, os círculos do paraíso). E estas notas se organizaram em nove parágrafos e o título A divina comédia foi utilizado nove vezes.
