Summary
“I feel like I’ve told you this before,” Satoru sighs eventually, still refusing to meet Suguru’s eyes. “I don’t— trust other people to touch me.”
Suguru lifts an eyebrow. “You don’t trust me?”
(or: Suguru just wants to touch Satoru without the barrier. Despite not allowing himself to be touched in years, Satoru lets him.)

Summary
Magnus Bane, High Warlock of the Downworld, has sworn, after the Second Uprising, to never work with the Clave again, and has banned any warlock from doing so.
However, when the New York Institute refuses to respect that, and continues attempting to contact him, Magnus takes a moment to personally dismiss them.
Only then, the Head of the New York Institute offers the impossible - a night with a virgin, unclaimed omega in return for the healing of their people. Furious, and ready to kill the Head of the Institute for daring to offer up an omega like that, Magnus accepts the offer, fully intending to rescue the poor omega.
It turns out, however, that he's underestimated the Head of the New York Institute - Alec Lightwood.

Summary
In the eyes of God, Steve Rogers was dead. He was still breathing, still walking around, but he was dead.
This fic is my attempt at a functioning A/B/O universe, since most stories with this premise leave me wondering how the society could have developed to modernity with all the issues raised by heats/bonding/male pregnancy. Steve Rogers is learning to cope without his bond-mate in the 21st century, and deal with the new threats the century throws at him. For the Steve/Bucky Big Bang.

Summary
If you would have told Joe, 3 months ago, that his new, unbelievably loud neighbour would be sitting in front of him, totally silent and pliant and ready to let Joe do whatever he wanted to him, he would have told you, politely, that you were crazy.
And yet, there Nicky sat, his back to him, his shoulders relaxed. Anticipation thrummed through the perfectly quiet room. Joe glanced at the monitor where Nicky’s eyes blazed back at him, a soft smile on his lips. Joe swallowed thickly.
------
Joe does ASMR, Nicky is his willing model. Let the pining and quiet, sensual touching commence!

Summary
She tries to turn and look at him but Dizzy won’t let her move her head. It’s hard to breathe and she feels light headed and from the corner of her eye, she can see the edges of Chris’ wings start to blur. Her hand closes on itself, empty, and the room whites out.
A blood red train. A man holding a flask to his fox daemon’s mouth. Two sleeping faces tucked close together, the swish of a tail that could be a sleeping predator. Swimming in and out of focus, the face of a woman with old eyes. Bubbles, streaming up at her face in the darkness.
Nile and her daemon don't die, then gain a second family, then save the world. In that order.

“Does it always look like this?”
Over the helicopter drum there is the mumble of distant thunder as if the sky is talking to itself.
“Nine hundred years of lightning,” Joe introduces. “Welcome to the house of perpetual storm.”

Summary
The thing about being a thousand years old was that years didn’t feel very long anymore; they were an over-produced commodity. The years of studying at al-Azhar wouldn’t feel like much at all to him now, but back then, they’d lasted centuries, and perhaps it was because all the time he spent without Nicky felt interminable, even before he’d known who it was he was missing. He’d carried with him a vague and inexplicable sense that he was waiting for something to begin, though he knew not what.
***
“I think I was in love with you before I knew you.”
Nicky laughed into the corner of Joe’s jaw, breath tickling his neck. After all these years, he’d memorized the shape of Nicky’s nose, the sensation of his stubble at every stage of unshavenness, absolutely every imaginable corner and contour of his body, and the more he knew it the more he loved it, like an old favorite song that developed new layers of meaning every time you listened. “Always the poet.”
“I really do think so, though,” Joe chuckled. “I die of love for you,” he said, switching to old Arabic, quoting Abū Nuwās. “And then I return to life so I can kiss you one more time,” he continued. His own words.

Summary
There, in black ink, stood a name in clean, tall Latin letters.
Nicolò.
Yusuf swallowed. The name felt heavy on his tongue, and his heart skipped a beat.
“Ah,” Yusuf’s baba said solemnly. “I think it is safe to assume that your worst enemy goes by the name of Nicolò. I will pray to Allah that he may merely be someone you meet on a trade trip across the sea, and that this name does not forebode anything more sinister.”
Yusuf nodded, and he let his baba turn over his right arm carefully towards the light, so they could read the name written there.
“Now, my son,” Yusuf’s baba said in a joyful tone, “let us see if we know your beautiful soulmate already, or if you will have to be patient a little longer.”
The rosy light of dawn crept through the windows, and neither his baba nor Yusuf had any trouble reading his Mark. For on Yusuf’s right arm, in the same bold black letters, stood the name again.
Nicolò.
***
Or, Yusuf is confused by the soulmarks on his arm. He is even more confused when he notices Nicolò's arms.

Just cute af. I love that Joe has two marks: his enemy and his soulmate who are the same person. Even more I love that Nicky only has one: thought to be an enemy but how could it be when he holds no hatred in his heart?

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.

Summary
Yusuf's head cocks to the side. "Is that it?" He asks, sliding one gentle finger under Nicolò's chin.
Nicolò's breath stutters on an exhale.
When Yusuf kisses him, his hands are clammy and clumsy, grasping for Yusuf. His mouth is unsure, open to whatever Yusuf wants from him. And his heart, his heart pounds and pounds and pounds.
OR: Nicky never really gets over having a crush on Joe, no matter how long they're together.

Summary
Nicky had liked his hands well enough as a young man, secure in his knowledge that the things that fit in his palms were kept safe there because he had hands meant to hold them.
He was, perhaps, not so young when he realized that none of the things he once carried had ever truly fit in his hands.
---
Or, one very old man loving his husband in the simplest possible way. -

Summary
“I think I wasn’t aware we needed a break,” Joe protests. The word feels dirty and contemptuous in his mouth. Like fast food and diet water, it was yet another ridiculous modern custom that need not apply to them. “Wait, have you been reading those trashy airport magazines with Nile again?”

Summary
“We are bound by our immortality. Our situation forced us together. If things were any different, would you still…”
Joe blinks big brown eyes at him. “Still?”
“Choose me?” Nicky finishes lamely. He feels silly for asking, in a way he hasn’t felt around Joe in a long time. Beyond that though, he really does want to know what Joe thinks about this, realizing distantly that this may be a bit of an insecurity he’s been harbouring unconsciously for a while.
Or: The dimension-hopping AU wherein the universes conspire to show Nicky that in every life, in every world, he and Joe would always find and choose and love each other.

Summary
When Nicolò walks home from working in the orchards, pockets filled with the fruits Yusuf likes best, he passes by the large church in town. Sometimes he’ll stop outside for a while, listening to the sounds of bells and singing from within. He does not go inside.
Nicolò is no stranger to longing, so he recognizes the sensation when he feels it, bone-deep and lethal.
