Summary
"Nicolo?" Joe gasps. Wants to say it again, shout it into existence even though he cannot know it to be true.
Then Nicky, his Nicky or perhaps a cruel trick of the light says in Nicky's voice, "Who the hell is Nicolo?"
.
Seventy eight years after an op gone south results in Nicky’s death, Joe still finds himself reeling, until the arrival of a new immortal resurges the team’s hope. Maybe Nicky did survive the fall. And if he did...why doesn’t he know who any of them are?

Summary
Nicolò should set up the rifle right now, make the shot, and be out of the country by lunchtime. He shouldn’t care that Joe’s eyes are a warm, deep brown, or that when he smiles the entire room lights up around him. Nico has killed beautiful people before, many of them, without blinking.
Instead he makes a monumentally stupid decision.
"My bad pickup line worked on you,” Joe says later at dinner. “I saw your sneer and I thought, oh, I must get that man to agree to a date with me.”
Nico snorts. “And despite my better judgement, here we are.”
“Oh,” Joe says, and over to touch Nico’s fingers. “I think your judgement was quite good, don’t you?”
Or: Nico has a job, and that job is Joe. He just can't for the life of him figure out why anyone would want an unassuming museum curator and art restorer dead.

Summary
It feels as if his heart is thrown open like the shuttered window of their room, laid bare to Yusuf's gaze. As if the answer to every mystery is in the heat where their hips meet, the low rumble of pleasure in Yusuf’s voice, and the damp silk of Yusuf’s hair clutched in Nicolò’s hands.
Five times Nicky loved Joe's curls, and one time they meant nothing at all.

Summary
That is not to say he isn’t afraid, there is still so much he does not understand about himself and Yusuf and God, the way his skin knits itself back together. Why is it him that is gifted such a thing when there were better men out there who deserved it?
Here, tied to Yusuf in a dirty cell, yet stuck in a pleasant and comforting half-sleep, he is of the mind that maybe this is why. God wants him to spend eternity with this man, chasing raiders off from villages, and in the night curling around each other barely touching but loving one another just the same. Waiting until the day Nicolo finally gathers the courage to touch his companion purposefully and then maybe at that moment, mankind discovers heaven.

Summary
Gojo Satoru thinks it's an absolutely hilarious idea to pick a strip club (with great chicken wings) for his turn to pick a restaurant with his friends. He doesn't expect to meet a dancer that changes his life with a single wink. And neither of them expect just how many secrets there are to be revealed between them...
