Summary
It starts with a mission. Steve grows a thick moustache for a cover, which was honestly not a thing Tony expected to like on his boyfriend, and Steve clocks his reaction right away. Suddenly, and certainly before he bothers to shave, Steve shows up in the remodeled penthouse they mostly share wearing assless chaps and Army boots. There’s a certain dissonance between the kinds of Old Guard leather fantasies this look is stirring up in Tony and the fact that it’s Steve standing here looking like Tom of Finland come to life. On top he’s wearing an Army green t-shirt that does not fit, Steve and his beat-up old leather motorcycle jacket. Yeah, Tony has a hard-on for Old Guard Steve. But he also needs to have a reasoned conversation with him, not just jump the man.

Summary
Joe shushes the child softly as he gently pries a hand from her mouth, and her spit mingles with dirt as it dribbles down her chin. He bounces her on his hip a few times and Andy takes a step closer.
Nicky moves before she does, extending a helpful hand to the child in Joe’s arms. He tugs a package of gauze from one of the pockets in his jacket and opens it carefully, then proceeds to clean the child’s face with it, gentle strokes down the corners of her eyes and the side of her mouth. The child openly sobs now, and Joe nods to Nicky, motioning for them to get into the van. Nicky nods back and checks the perimeter once before turning to Andy to give her the signal that all the children are in the van and hopping in the back with Joe and the girl.
Andy plants herself in front of the wheel and starts the engine before she hears Joe and Nicky’s signal knocks from the back.
“Andy…” Nile starts. Andy looks ahead.
“Andy, I need to ask you something.”
--
After a rescue mission harbouring unexpected children, Nile has questions for Andy about Joe and Nicky. Andy decides to tell her the whole truth.

When the Scorched of the Earth Come Back By Sea by BecauseWhateverAtAll

Summary
What makes pit vipers unique is the fossa, which in effect give the snakes a sixth sense to help them find and perhaps even judge the measure of the prey on which they feed.
It’s been two months since the kidnapping, the death-memory drugs, since going through more than one earth-shattering reunion. And they want to think that they’re stronger than ever as a team, as a family. But there’s always a weakness to exploit, when someone knows where to find it. When Quynh strikes again, she does it with precision. And venom.
(Sequel to By a Time to Rise and a Time to Fall)

Summary
Forgiveness takes time. Any wise man could tell you that. But maybe sometimes it’s different. Maybe sometimes Booker and Joe aren’t particularly wise. And maybe sometimes it takes a disastrous bit of kidnapping for two brothers to forgive each other and themselves.

Summary
Yusuf snorts, as if to say it’s mutual. But the Italian struggles to sit upright, wincing and swearing, and – Yusuf cannot pretend he does not want to know, not when a creature will always seek out its like, its matched half as the Greek philosopher Plato wrote, and there is nobody else in the world, to the best of his knowledge, like the two of them. He says, “What’s your name?”
There’s a very long pause. He can hear the other man deciding whether to lie. But there is no purpose to it, except for bitterness, and the answer is uttered cold and shortly. “Nicolò.”

Summary
After nine hundred and twenty-one years, Yusuf and Nicolo have found many ways to tell the other that he loves him.
Yusuf loves words, loves poems and speeches and art he has seen and built and breathed for centuries; Nicolo loves acts of service, loves to help and to protect and to provide. Over the years, gifts are exchanged, touch is treasured, and every waking moment they can spend together, they are inseparable.
Nine hundred and twenty-one years, and thousands of ways to say I love you.

Summary
He wants Yusuf to hold his hand again. Grab his ankle. Flick his ear. Thrust his sword into his chest and breath into his mouth.
Yet, they have the long ocean of eternity ahead of them. These whims are nothing but a swell under their ship: gone as soon as they come. Nicolo knows better than to jump overboard and drown alone trying to chase them.

Summary
Nick was unarmed but the stranger wasn’t. He brandished a knife. Nick couldn’t stop himself from cussing as the door closed and locked behind the unfamiliar man. “The door!”
”Who are you?” The guy was tall, decently muscled. He held his tanto knife in a sure grip.
”Who the hell are you?!” Nick shot back. “If you don’t know who I am, why are you even here?”
The stranger’s face morphed into one of shock as he blurted out, “You’re an omega!”
Nick sprung into action to take advantage of the man’s surprise. “And you just locked yourself in my goddamn safe room!”

Summary
“And it’s enough?” Nile asks. “It’s enough to keep you going?”
“It’s enough to make me love this world and so many of the people in it,” Joe says, soft but sure. “We can’t change evil. We can only try to end each day having come out on top of it, and hopefully having helped others do the same. It may never go away, but other, better things aren’t ever going away either. That’s so much more important. Vital. That’s what I’d want you to remember, if you can.”
When you have a seemingly infinite number of days ahead of you, some will turn out well and some won't. And sometimes you can’t tell which is which until the day is over. Nile gets to experience the whole gamut with each of her new family members while finding her way through this weird, wonderful immortal life.Chapter 1: Nile and Quynh
