Summary
It is no more filthy or grim than others they have been held in over the centuries, but this cell feels different. Chains are thicker now, walls are stronger. There are more guns, they fire faster if not more accurately. And the crushing weight of the ocean hangs over their heads. Yusuf closes his eyes, tries to calm himself with the sound of Nicolo breathing, the feel of his bony ankle against his own calf. Nicolo still doesn’t speak, but after a time he begins to hum - calm, soothing things he knows Yusuf likes.
Or,
They've been inseparable for centuries but never quite managed to say they're in love.

Summary
“Nile,” Joe says in that patient, warm way. “You heard what Nicky said at Merrick's and he's right. So much of this, we have to just accept without understanding. Our dying is a part of that.”
“I think Nicky might feel a little differently now that you're dying, Joe!” Nile says sharply.
___
Joe loses his immortality. Nile finds a ritual based on sex and sacrifice to restore it.

Summary
“Besides, you and Andromache were bemoaning my flowery declarations of love just the other day! Nico finds them charming.”
“Oh, I’m not arguing that.” Quynh says, “But when Nicolò says or does something similar, I would think you a young maiden meeting her betrothed for the first time.”
He opens his mouth to respond but the thing is - Quynh is right. He and Nicolò confessed their love for each other decades ago but he’ll still look at Nico sometimes and be overwhelmed by the aching, beautiful way he loves him. And when Nicolò expresses the same to him, in that honest, straightforward way of his, Yusuf doesn’t think there’s any choice but to melt.
Or: Joe being an absolute goner for Nicky's expressions of love throughout the years.

Summary
The docks isn't the first time that one of them has asked for time alone over the last thousand years. They're nearly a thousand years old. They've spent plenty of time apart, but it's never ended up lasting very long. After all, being truly alone is a disease that their immortality cured a thousand years ago.
