    Summary

    With the expansion of Batiatus' estate and gladiatorial prestige, a new ludus slave is brought in to assist Pietros and Oenomaus.

    Nasir was once an honored body slave and must now cope with his fall from favor. It is hard when he does not know who to trust in his new environment.

    Agron wants to stay in relative safety and obscurity with his brother, outside of any feuds within the ludus. But when Spartacus asks of him an honest favor, he feels he cannot refuse.

    And so an unlikely alliance forms...

    Summary

    A rash, selfless act saves the life of a Roman gladiator called Varro and casts Tiberius (Nasir) into an impossible role. In order for Quintus Batiatus to satisfy his own political ambitions and gain favor with the magistrate, he must make good on his boast that only his ludus could mold a house slave into a gladiator.

    WARNINGS: Basically, if you've seen the TV show, you know what kind of triggers to expect. (I feel that the Starz Spartacus series itself is "Explicit" and, since this fic is a Canon AU, I'm sticking with that rating.) HOWEVER, I will post warnings (such as DEATH, TORTURE, GORE (violent or medicinal), and SEXYTIMES) at the beginning of corresponding chapters. FYI, I have ZERO plans to describe Non-Con/NCS in detail.

Agron is sent to Picintia, where his only ally is his master’s submissive body slave, Tiberius
