Summary
Booker kicks at his ankle, letting Joe’s boot absorb most of the blow. “Actually, he’s about as far from me as you can get, yeah. If you ever have to write a three-sentence summary of your preferences and limits, it’d look pretty close to this, I’d guess.”
Joe huffs softly. “I’m just here to drive up prices.”
-or-
At a charity auction at his friends' bdsm club, Joe buys a stranger for the weekend. He couldn't have known Nicky's dom coerced him into signing up.

Summary
Joe al-Kaysani, professor of art history, has a very clear idea of what he's looking for in a partner: a fellow academic with his shit together who can provide deep intellectual conversations on demand.
Nicolò di Genova, surly food services chef who doesn't even warn people about pork or have a bed frame, does not hit the brief.
Still, there's something magnetic about him, and Joe figures there's no harm in having a little fun while he waits for Prince Charming to arrive.

Summary
Historical AU set during the Fall of Carthage (2nd century BCE). When Carthaginian merchant Yusuf first met Nicolò in Rome, he thought him simply a pleasant night's distraction from the looming threat of war between their respective homelands. He did not expect to meet him again in battle outside the walls of Carthage—or, well…anything else that followed, really.

keep on touching me (these phantom hands) by maddielle

Summary
Joe knows.
He knows the same way he’d known what Nile was when she’d first met him in that Starbucks, a day after he’d moved into his new place. That innate tug in his belly, the unmistakable prickle behind his ears that tells him: danger, careful, just like you.
It’s unmistakable now, too. He and Nile are not the only supernatural beings in this club tonight.
And one of them is looking directly at Joe.

Summary
“Okay, I’m going to need your contact information and I’ll have to ask a few questions about what it is you’ll be needing during your rut. Is that alright?”
“Yes, yes, of course,” Nicky says, aware that he’s panicking and it reads in his tone. “Before you accept my booking, you need to—“
“It will be just fine,” Joe says, smooth and professional. “Why don’t we start with your name?”
“That’s just it,” Nicky says miserably. “It’s Nicolò di Genova.”
There’s a long pause. “Oh,” Joe says.
He hasn’t hung up, which is what Nicky was expecting, so he uses the silence to start apologizing.
In which both Joe and Nicky struggle to fit into a world where your cycle determines so much about your romantic prospects when neither of them have typical cycles or even know if they want that kind of romantic relationship. In which Joe co-runs a center where people with atypical heat and rut cycles can come and receive the help they need. In which Nicky really wishes he hadn't written a series of very stupid letters to the editor of the local paper back when he was pretending he didn't need the kind of help Joe was offering.

Joe wonders if they remember. Does their little subconscious recall being loved in the past? Are their genes still wired to depend on humanity? He thinks so.

Summary
"Yeah, dating apps are garbage," Nile mutters, twirling her straw. "All surface, too many expectations."
"Exactly." Joe pauses, casts his eyes across the plethora of patio goers in their vicinity. "Patience is a virtue, I guess."
Quynh is still looking thoughtful. "You know," she says, "my girlfriend knows a lot of people in town. I'll ask if she might know someone for you."
In which Joe isn't really sure what he wants, but he's hoping he'll know when he finds it.
Spoiler: he does.

Summary
“Hmm,” Yusuf hums, and bends to lick a trail of juice that dripped down along Nicky’s collarbone. “And what did you envision?”
Nicky has to take a deep breath to allow his faculties to return enough to answer. “My lo—Yusuf, I had imagined—that is, to be used for your pleasure would have been…beyond anything I had hoped for, but this…”
Yusuf chuckles and sets his tray of fruit aside. “An interesting proposition,” he says, leaning on his elbow to stare down at Nicky. “But in all honesty, within my bedchambers, I prefer to be the one doing the serving.”
(AKA, a romance novel in 2k in response to a kink meme prompt)

Ode to Nicolo (and His Terrible, No-Good, Humiliating Praise Kink) by incurableromancer
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020), The Old Guard (Comics)
26 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
That’s what struck him most of all. How obscene, how embarrassing a thing it was to be affected by, relative to all of his prior knowledge and experience. He didn’t think it was normal, was the thing, and that was the worst feeling of all, like he was depraved, somehow, and he had to find this out about himself when his tentative travelling companion went and said something nice to him, something that made his dick hard faster than he could process what the words even meant.
Or: Nicky has a thing for being praised, and Joe has always loved to spoil him.

“Oh,” Yusuf says.
“What is it?” Nico asks. “Do I displease you, should I—“
“No,” Yusuf says hastily. “Never. It’s just—“ he reaches out to run his finger along the fold of skin hiding the pink head of Nico’s erection. “I haven’t seen this before.”
