Summary
Yusuf half expects the bite of steel for his efforts, or at least a jolt as the soldier pulls him back down into the dirt—instead, just a hand in his, warm and rough.
“Yusuf,” he says, hand on his chest. “I am Yusuf Al-Kaysani.”
Something sparks in the blue eyes across from him. “Nicolo di Genova.”
Nicolo. Something familiar that has no reason to be.
Or, in which Yusuf and Nicolo kill each other, learn each other, and long for each other, somewhat in that order.

Summary
“Horses?” Nicky says.
“You know, horses,” Nile says, clearing up nothing. “Like, when you pass some of them in a field or something, you point and say ‘horses.’ Some people do it with cows, but I think that takes the fun out of it.”
“Ah,” Nicky says, slowly. “An American ritual, then?”
“I think it’s more of a ‘less than 900 years old’ thing, honestly.”
Nicky hums. “So much is.”
Or: A post-movie epilogue about being human together ft grocery stores, phone calls, car rides, shitty food, football games, and the wild hubris that you can renovate your own house without professional help.
