Summary
Being in the kidnapping business, Nicky thinks, is rather distasteful, but it’s more or less a matter of routine. You take someone, the family pays, everyone goes home happy—grazie, prego, kiss kiss.
Just as long as you don’t catch feelings for your captive.
(Or: A trashy pseudo-bodice ripper disguised as something vaguely resembling a Trust AU.)

Summary
“I only wish—I wish I’d met you before, somewhere else, any other way. I wish this was a real first date.”
Joe can hear the longing—and the regret—in Nicky’s voice. “I know,” he says quietly. “But maybe we wouldn’t be together now, if we hadn’t met like we did.”
Nicky smiles sadly. “You think it’s destiny?”
Joe shrugs. “Kinda seems like it.”
(Or: Five “firsts.”)
