    Summary

    “And it didn’t bother you that the guard thought you were -- that we were -- ?” Nicolò asks, for what is definitely the fourth time, as they bed down, hopefully hidden from view by the reeds and trees of the Nile delta.

    Yusuf sighs, rolling onto his back. “Do I mind that he thought I would be foolish enough to abandon all reason and take up with one of the men who helped sack Al-Quds? Yes, a little. Not enough to stop from using it as a perfectly serviceable escape route.”

    “No,” Nicolò says, “I mean, that you would prefer the company of other men at all.”

    Yusuf blinks, bemused. He hadn’t even thought of that. “As a rule, I try not to be insulted by accusations that are true,” he says drily.

    OR: Five times they were faking it and two times it was real.

    Summary

    The beautiful man drops his hands from Joe’s face instantly, and his skin feels colder without his touch.

    “I’m Nicky,” Nicky says woodenly. “I’m...I’m your familiar.”

    “I have a familiar?”

     

     

    (The last thing Joe remembers is getting drunk with his best friend Booker in a bar after a fight with his terrible boyfriend, Keane. But he wakes up in a hospital, with a gorgeous man at his bedside, telling him impossible things. Things like how he's Joe's familiar. Things like how they're married.)

    Summary

    “I think there are things we don’t know about each other, that are dangerous,” Nicky said. “This isn’t done.” He gestured to the distance between them, how they’d managed to keep speaking in some kind of peace.

    Joe walked further into the field of flowers. When his hands brushed the petals they curled into him as worshipers would, kissing at his skin for warmth, for light and the greed of the sun’s brilliance. The dew hissed away into the air. Then they were only a length apart.

    “I think it’s about time we reevaluate what’s done,” Joe declared. He held out his palm, skin a lovely brown, and Nicky swore he could see the blood in his veins, leaking gold.

    “How about we do what we want?”

    Oh what sweet seduction, what dashing defiance.

    He took Joe’s hand, and the sky above them burst into color.

    Summary

    Hartenstraat AU

    After a life-threatening accident derails his life, Nicky pursues his original dream of being an illustrator. But that, alongside adjusting to civilian life, almost proves too difficult until Nile suggests he design the logo for The Aubergenie, a bakery co-owned by Sébastien and Joe.

    In between a bad first impression and a second chance, Nicky unwittingly saves Joe’s daughter. Suddenly, he finds himself a part of their lives, falling in love with them both as he works on the logo and a story inspired by them—and counting down til this fantasy falls apart.

    Despite their connection being too good to be true, various struggles, worries and expectations culminate in a heart-breaking misunderstanding that threatens to divide them before they can truly be together.

    Will they be able to salvage what they had, or had they burned too bright to last?
