Summary
Nicolò likes this song; it’s a very comical and dramatic story about sea creatures going to war when a sardine who left her fiancé takes up with another fish.
Nicolò mutters ‘Enough’ under his breath, downs the last of the wine in his cup, and stands abruptly, that particular look in his eye that means someone is about to get what’s coming to them, violently or otherwise.

Yusuf can’t actually remember when he last saw Nicolò’s hair both loose and freshly, thoroughly washed.
Whenever it was, it wasn’t like this. It was shorter, certainly. Surely it did not bounce just so when he moved. -

“I forgave him,” Nicolò says. “He tried to spare everyone pain, and made the wrong choice about how to do it. And when we are busy, distracted, talking about anything else, when he needs me, when we are laughing together… all is well. But there are moments, when everything else is quiet, when I remember the hurt, and I look at him…”
“When you cannot look at him,” Quỳnh says. She is not thinking of Yusuf.

Sometime in the aftermath, Quỳnh and Nicolò have a conversation.Series

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.
