    Summary

    And that hurts most of all, because the perfect man, Joe’s reason to stay and keep trying, to work something new out, forge a new path for himself, he does exist. He sleeps a room away, he has a smile like the sunrise and the dorkiest laugh Joe has ever heard, he’s exceedingly generous and considerate in bed, as he is in every aspect of his life, he has strong, experienced hands, and he’s smart, and he’s going to be a wonderful father someday- and he doesn’t love Joe back.

    Or: Oh my god, they were roommates (who were in love with each other).

    Summary

    Nicolò had always known Yusuf was aware of his many shortcomings, but to have them brought into such stark light, one right after another? All while he could say nothing to defend himself? It was unbearable. Nicolò had never felt more like the millstone around Yusuf’s neck, tied to him by circumstance, bound to drag him down.

    *****

    Nicolò's past catches him off guard on a sunny day in the form of his estranged brother. Will Yusuf still wish to remain with him, even after he learns how shameful Nicolò truly is?

    AKA the backstory for my headcanon on why they usually only speak to each other in Italian.

    Summary

    Back in college Joe and his friends used to joke about selling out, finding rich patrons and being paid obscene amounts of money to paint pretentious abstract pieces. Ten years later, Joe's the only one who actually did it. Finding himself with more money than he'll ever need, an utter lack of passion for his craft and no friends left in the city, he runs away to a tiny town on the coast to try and rediscover whatever it is he lost of himself along the way. Luckily for him, the overly friendly manager of the motel he's living in and said overly friendly manager's two year old son are all too eager to help him out.
