This is a language no one else in the world is fluent in: the glint in Nicky’s eye, the unbearable gentleness with which he pushes Yusuf flat against the bed.

Joe and Nicky, from 1099 to 2019, through continents and dialects.
No archive warnings apply. Character study, relationship study, pre-canon, I don’t want to overuse the tenderness tag but this is very tender, implied sexual content, temporary character death.
Joe / Nicky | ~2600 words | Mature
What I loved: This one is so lyrical in the writing, it reminds me of poetry! So many different languages represented, too. I adore writing like this, and I feel very indulgent as I read it in all kinds of good ways. This fic is from Yusuf’s point of view, and his voice is captured really well.
