    Summary

    He wants Yusuf to hold his hand again. Grab his ankle. Flick his ear. Thrust his sword into his chest and breath into his mouth.

    Yet, they have the long ocean of eternity ahead of them. These whims are nothing but a swell under their ship: gone as soon as they come. Nicolo knows better than to jump overboard and drown alone trying to chase them.

    Summary

    “So,” Nile begins, sitting in the beat up Hyundai with some meatballs in her lap, still dressed in her running gear. “Sexiled, huh?”

    Andy nods, chewing away at her own meatballs. She points at herself. “Professional third-wheel here.”

    Nile nods. “Well, they’re in love.” She shrugs, and Andy raises an eyebrow at her. “What? Love makes you do stupid stuff.”

    Nile experiences the whole world, learns some disgusting secrets, gains another set of parents—as well as a cranky vodka aunt—and learns what it means to be immortal.

    Summary

    “Then why untie me?”

    The man grins, terribly amused, and awfully affectionate. Andromache wants to look away, but for some reason, can’t. Maybe because the look in his eye reminds her of herself, a lifetime ago. “Because my beloved is soft, and kind, and will flay me alive if he’d known I tied up a woman.”

    Summary

    ‘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.

    A missing scene about what happens after Joe and Nicky leave the table following the game night.

    “It’s been eighteen months!” said Quỳnh. “First Joe's new boyfriend is a doctor and working shifts, then he doesn’t use social media, then he’s studying in Manchester, then he’s shy and doesn’t like photos – it’s getting transparent. I’m almost embarrassed for Joe.”

    Summary

    Sarwa is ladling stew into bowls and she hands the first one to Yusuf, who passes it to Nicolo and takes a drink from the now filled flask. “Is he your lover?” she asks.

    Yusuf chokes on water and Nicolo pounds his back, eyebrows peaked with concern.

    “I—” Yusuf pauses, wiping his streaming eyes.

    Sarwa looks at him, nothing but mild curiosity on her face.

    Yusuf glances at Nicolo. The firelight paints his cheekbones flickering gold, his eyes hooded and sleepy in the dim light.

    “I don’t know what he is,” Yusuf finally admits, still looking at Nicolo.

    Nicolo’s mouth quirks and he takes another bite of soup.

    “He looks at you like you belong to him,” Sarwa says.

    Nicolo keeps eating, oblivious to what they’re saying.

    “I think he belongs to me too,” Yusuf whispers.

    Summary

    Before they were Joe and Nicky, they were Yusuf and Nicolò. And there was gravity, there were moths to flame, and there was them.

    “You have lost your mind,” said Nicolò. His expression was awe-struck, glowing with hesitant hope.

    “I have lost my heart,” Yusuf said in response, emboldened. “You have it.”

    Summary

    “He has a crush on him,” Joe says around a mouthful of carrots and points his fork at him for emphasis. To someone who once has had Joe’s scimitar rammed through his chest, it’s not exactly a terrifying gesture, but it still feels a tad more aggressive than Nicky thinks the situation warrants.

    Summary

    Two hundred sixty-one years.

    Twenty-seven deaths.

    And countless near-death moments.

    And yet nothing, nothing prepares him for the excruciating agony of watching Nicolo walk out the door and realizing that he is the one who made him leave.

    Summary

    “They are quite the sight, aren’t they?” Adrienne says, sitting down next to him on the log by the fire, offering him the eau de vie once more.

    “What are you talking about?” he says, feeling caught out. The bottle is half-empty already, and he does his part by taking a long drink so he doesn’t have to look at her for a while.

    “Those two,” she says, pointing her chin at Nicolas and Joseph, who are huddled together with their backs against the wide trunk of an ancient olive tree. “You were staring.”

    Summary

    Nile watches as Joe gets to his feet and heads towards Nicky, calling out something to him in Italian. Nile is torn between learning Italian, so that she can know what they’re saying, and feeling like it’s an intrusion on something that she’s not meant to hear. "He's very protective of Nicky, isn't he?"

    "You're only noticing that now?" Andy asks wryly.

    “It all seems a little bit one-sided, that’s all,” Nile muses. “I've never seen Nicky be as...violently protective over Joe.” Andy just hums, and Nile glances over at her. “You think I’m wrong? I know I haven’t been around long, but I’ve seen Joe get killed in a bunch of messy ways and Nicky has never done…that.”

    Andy just hums again. “Look again,” she says when Nile throws her hands up in frustration. “Watch more closely. You’ll know when you see it.”

    Summary

    "You think if you get something a little stronger in you, you’ll finally get the nerve to make a move on Dr. Novák?”
    “Doesn’t seem likely,” Jayce replied.
    What Cait didn’t know, what he’d never told her - or anyone for that matter- was that he’d already tried to make a move years ago.
    And he’d failed.
    Spectacularly.
    So spectacularly that it ruined their friendship and drove a wedge so deep between them that now he was no longer Viktor, Jayce’s best friend, and (unrequited) crush. He was simply Dr. Novák, his former classmate and colleague.
    And, well, still also his unrequited crush. But that was just about the only thing that hadn’t changed.

    -

    Jayce and Viktor accidentally get locked outside on the terrace together at Piltover University Hospital's spring gala and, face-to-face for the first time in nearly a decade, finally have a long overdue conversation. Mutual pining and years of miscommunication abound!
