    Summary

    When Nile, genuine certified prodigy, was sent to a prestigious, hyper-exclusive school for the gifted and wealthy in Switzerland, she knew from the very start she had no chance of fitting in with the cool kids at all. This, quite frankly, suited her just fine; the misfits and the losers were way more interesting anyway. She made her choice and she stuck with it, public enemy number three or not.

    This state of affairs did have the, perhaps serendipitous, consequence of giving her a front row seat when Yusuf ‘Joe’ Al-Kaysani, the Prince of Gold Rose himself, lost his entire goddamn mind.

    Summary

    Jerusalem had fallen. Now, on top of the indignity of having to walk - walk! - to Alexandria to avoid getting shot out of the sky, Yusuf al-Kaysani has the double misfortune of being saddled with a filthy, empty-headed, exasperating Frank who doesn't even seem to know what his wings are for.

    But after an explosion of temper reveals something about his enemy that Yusuf could never have fathomed in a thousand years, Yusuf finds himself looking at his companion in a whole new light. Suddenly tasked with helping Nicolo achieve a dream, an unexpected spark of compassion is born, that leads to forgiveness, to friendship, to all and more.

     


    Every love story is a kind of dance.


    Or - Yusuf and Nicolo live in a world where everyone has wings. It changes a lot about their world, and nothing about them.

    Summary

    Booker has no idea what's happening. One minute there's a strange woman in his kitchen in Paris, the next he's picking bits of himself off the kill-floor in South Sudan. Surely if he gets another shot at that nightmare, he'll do better this time, right?

    Or: Booker Time Loop AU, he's stuck re-living of the events of the film, and he's barely holding anything together.

    Summary

    “He is fated to die today, the fourteenth of April in 2019.” Andromache tilted her head as she studied Yusuf’s body. “That is immutable. He has already died. But we could give him another chance at the day.”
    “Restart it?” Nile leaned forward eagerly. “We could warn him, or stop-”
    “No. He has to thwart death on his own terms, and it will hunt him throughout this process. He will repeat this day, with memory of those before it, and if at the end of seven days, he survives to April fifteenth with his soulmate at his side, he can live. If he dies on the seventh day, then that is his final death and time will progress from there. Is that understood?” 

    Joe is an art restoration technician who has been falling in love with Nicky, a baker near him, for the last two months. He's sure they're soulmates and is confident in their future together.
    The only catch is his death. At least he's got a spirit guide on his side to avoid it.

    Summary

    “Nicolò,” Andromache – call me Andrea – tells him the next morning, her fierce eyes bright with unshed tears. “He led you to safety.”

    “He thinks I’m Russian,” Sebastien explains as he tells them what little he can about the strange cave and the man who sleeps in it. “He’s lucky I like old literature: his writing is practically antiquated.”

    “I’ll wager it’s been over three hundred years since he’s had cause to speak it.”

    ---

    When Joe dies and doesn't wake up, Nicky takes his body and runs. Three hundred years later, Sebastien is plagued by dreams of a man trapped in eternal sleep, and the silent, lonely figure who guards him.
