The world was big and lonely and to say it was a place Nicky survived was too generous. He scraped by, he dragged himself through by his fingernails, inch by inch because even when he wanted to let go, even in his most desperate moments, life clung to him like a tick. Insidious, parasitic, unpredictable and cruel. But that was before Yusuf, before the sun personified stepped into Nicky’s lonesome life and reminded him that there was good. Born thousands of years before the other half of his soul, Nicolo spent the years unconsciously traveling towards Yusuf. But before he found happiness, he had to suffer hardship. That was the way of the world and the gods had plans for him. Warnings: Sadly it has not been updated since January 2022, but despite this it reads as if it could be considered complete.

Summary: Italian night is not his lucky night. Joe is staring at the ceiling, trying to hold the tears and find some composure. And failing miserably one minute after, as he bursts out crying again for the fifth time. “I can’t believe I worked so much for the birthday party of a klootzak” he yells at the ceiling and when nobody answers he just sinks his face on the pillow. Joe gets dumped a few hours before the huge party he has been organizing for weeks. But while he's busy crying, love knocks at his door. And he's not come empty-handed.

Summary: Over the next few months, Joe runs into Nicky every so often at the farmer’s market. Some weekends Nicky doesn’t make it, because of his work schedule - Joe doesn’t understand it because he doesn’t ask, though he does start to recognize when one of those missing weekends is coming up because Nicky will stock up on things with longer shelf-life. When they do run into each other, they make small talk and move through the stalls together. Joe doesn’t mention it to Lykon when he stops by, because it is kind of weird, that Lykon’s ex-boyfriend texts Joe things like - If you’re here, the apples look particularly good this week and thank you for that recipe, I did not know what I was going to do with that much couscous Or, Joe wouldn't usually consider starting anything with his best friend's ex, but as long as they keep it casual, it shouldn't be weird... right?

Summary: “Your sword is as dull as your wit,” Nicoló says peevishly in Greek, examining the jagged muscle tears. He’s coming rather rapidly to the conclusion that the man is probably not a demon, it seems unlikely that an emissary of Satan would be similarly covered in his own insides, but is, undisputedly, an asshole.
