Does anybody have any good fic recs? I suddenly need this pairing in my life.

[elaminator]

Spartacus is a smallish fandom anyway, but Spartacus/Varro is practically nonexistent. :( I did a search for you but as expected, I didn't find much.

It's always been a bit shocking to me that the pairing wasn't more popular...but, you never know what's going to catch on. *shrugs* Plus, Spartacus himself has never been overtly popular with the fandom, so maybe that has to do with it. Sorry, anon!

Thank you for the links! I didn't expect there'd be a lot, maybe a fic or two. I'll give these a try. Clearly, that .gif needs to make its way around fandom.

Plus, Spartacus himself has never been overtly popular with the fandom, so maybe that has to do with it.

...Why? Maybe this is weird, but he was one of my favorite characters (granted, I've only seen Season 1). Now I'm wondering where all the love is going. I want to guess but none of the options seem quite right.

[elaminator]

Well, maybe I should've worded that differently... it seems people love Andy!Spartacus (and they are right to!), but even then there doesn't appear to be much fanfic about him. Maybe he was too well written and heavily explored that people just didn't feel like writing fic about him, or maybe they just don't particularly ship him with anyone. IDK.

Reactions to Liam as Spartacus seem somewhat mixed (as with most things, honestly; some people think the character is too 'soft' now to, but that's one of the reasons I like him so much *shrugs*), but I still adore him and think he's one of the more likable characters on the show. Still, it's sort of hard to ship him, and people LOVE shipping, so...

Plus, most the fic in fandom gets written about Agron/Nasir, and a decent amount about Barca/Pietros. Most of the side characters seem to be more popular than Spartacus, though.

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought maybe you meant people bashed Spartacus or ignored him altogether, which I just can't wrap my head around because he's so awesome! I definitely get not writing him because he's too well-written/explored in canon (I've done that with various characters and pairings). I think it's hard to ship him with anyone because the show ships him so well with Sura that you just feel bad trying to put him with anyone else, which would result in the lack of fic.

See, that's one of the reasons I haven't sought out Season 2 yet. Andy!Spartacus was just so darn perfect that I'm not sure I want to see anyone else in the role, though I'm sure Liam is really, really good (though I hear they downsize his role in Season 2? Or so I heard?)

Well, it's good to see some canon couples getting some love, which is rare in fandom. Side characters tend to get lots of fic because it's easier to just make up fanon and headcanon about them. And canon slash is always a good hook for fic. Though I'm weird and just wanted a lot of Lucretia/Ilithyia frenemy!sex.
