Summary
After being stored for almost three decades, Nicky isn’t surprised the rajika tasted stronger, richer, but now he almost wishes he hadn’t had that last shot. He’s not worried about snoring, though. He knows Joe never cares. Joe, now busy pressing their groins together, a hand sneaking under Nicky's shirt, palming his stomach, reaching for his heart–
‘It’s my new boyfriend.’ The words sound absurd even now, maybe especially now, and for a moment, Nicky wonders if he misheard them entirely.
He might have. He should ask Joe for clarification now that it’s just the two of them, but Nicky– he doesn’t want Joe to stop. He needs Joe’s hands, and Joe’s tongue, and the half words being whispered against his ear. Most of all, he needs Joe’s fire, for Nicky’s body still remembers the crash and the feeling of freefall crowded by the moment he stopped breathing as the water swallowed them whole. He has showered since, yes, but Nicky still can feel ice inside his bones, and he needs to be warmed from within.
What happens after Joe and Nicky leave the table?
(Smut, smut is what happens, and also feelings)

Summary
A perfectly placed sunbeam filters in through the half-opened curtains of the bedroom and presses, warm and intrusive, against Frenchie’s eyelid. It’s squeezed shut tight in protest against the orange glow for just a spare few moments. At least until the smell of stale sex and bodies wakes him the rest of the way. Frenchie pulls himself from the tangle of limbs on the bed, feet pressing firmly on the rug beneath before he stretches.

Summary
It smelled like piss. He knew it was his own, his shorts were stiff with the way it’d dried. He was sore, not just where the handcuff around his ankle rubbed and chaffed, but everywhere. Serge rested his head against the radiator, thankful that at least this time it wasn’t turned on, that he wasn’t left here sweating on the creaking hardwood floors of their cheap motel. Alone. Forgotten about. Again.

Summary
“I think I am a mistake,” Nicolò confesses.
“I thought God didn’t make mistakes.”
“You tell me.”
Andromache nudges his shoulder. “I do not think you are a mistake.”
“If there is to be a man to walk the world for thousands of suns, let it be a man like Yusuf,” Nicolò says. “A man who understands the weight of the sword, who trades in kindness, loyalty and honor. A man who can find beauty in a simple sunrise.”
“And what of a man like you?” Andromache asks.
“There are already too many men like me in this world,” Nicolò answers. “And we can cause more than enough damage within a mortal lifespan.”
Andromache is silent next to him. Somehow, Nicolò knows she understands. For as old as she is, she has likely seen far too many men like him already.
They stand in silence for a few minutes before she asks, “Do you love him?”
Nicolò ponders for a moment. “I do not think love is enough.”
Nicolò di Genova has lived a long life. He has much to show for it, but somehow still nothing at all.
This is Nicky's companion piece to 'Beautiful Ghosts'. 'Beautiful Ghosts' should be read first (but likely not imperative).

Summary
Bruno l’avrebbero trovato col disgelo. Sarebbe spuntato in qualche canalone in piena estate, e sarebbero stati i corvi a scoprirlo per primi.
(Paolo Cognetti, Le otto montagne)
L'inverno del 2014, quando Bruno scomparve, tutti la pensavano così: ma nessuno l'aveva ritrovato. A primavera era stata seppellita una bara vuota; d'estate era stata aggiunta una lapide con una data mai confermata. La vita – o ciò che ne rimaneva – era andata avanti.
Tre anni e mezzo dopo, Pietro ritorna da uno dei suoi viaggi sull'Himalaya.Bookmarked by Lunedd

Summary
Spring, 1876, and Yusuf is looking forward to reuniting with Nicolò after long months apart.
The reunion promises to be a special one, for Nicolò has written that he was disloyal in Yusuf’s absence, and begs Yusuf to punish him for it.
Of course Nicolò would never truly do such a thing - but his alias, Mickey, would. And where Yusuf would never truly harm his husband, his alias, Majid, does not hesitate.

Summary
“They would find Bruno with the first thaw. He would turn up in some gorge in the middle of the summer, and the crows would be the first to find him.” (Paolo Cognetti, The Eight Mountains)
That was what everyone had thought in the winter of 2014, the winter Bruno disappeared, but Bruno had never been found. An empty casket had been buried in spring, a stone set up in summer with a date on it that had never been confirmed. Life had gone on – or what had been left of it had.
Three and a half years later, Pietro returns from one of his journeys to the Himalayas.

Summary
Sometimes, it’s slow and sweet and so incredibly good it’s almost too much. It’s as if the sheer bliss and pure joy of being with each other borders on pain. They have to close their eyes then, both of them, breathing the same air, lips trembling and cheeks burning, the centuries wrapped around them like both a veil and a shroud.
And then there are those times when their need for each other becomes too much to bear calmly, when this need is threatening to devour them alive, and then it’s bites and curses, bruising fingers and desperate, starving groans.
Like now.

Summary
When Nicky is summoned to dinner by his mother that night, he does not expect anything life changing. However, he leaves the dining room engaged to a man that makes him sick, with a wedding date set for only a month in the future. There seems to be no escape, and he is resigned to accept a miserable life married to a monster so that his mother can live in luxury, and so his beloved little sister does not have to meet the same fate as him.
Nicky's marriage night quickly approaches, but someone has his misery brought to their attention. Someone with the power to change what seems inescapable. Someone who can claim the right of the first night, so that Nicky's first time does not have to be the worst experience of his life.
(A The Old Guard Kinkmeme fill.)

Summary
To satisfy Nile’s curiosity and make her part of the family, Joe tells her the full story of how Nicolò di Genova and Yusuf Al-Kaysani became "NickyandJoe". From Jerusalem to Malta and back again. And Nile doesn’t want the PG version.
It’s a story that has been told in this fandom a thousand times before, but deserves to be told a thousand times more.
