Summary
And that hurts most of all, because the perfect man, Joe’s reason to stay and keep trying, to work something new out, forge a new path for himself, he does exist. He sleeps a room away, he has a smile like the sunrise and the dorkiest laugh Joe has ever heard, he’s exceedingly generous and considerate in bed, as he is in every aspect of his life, he has strong, experienced hands, and he’s smart, and he’s going to be a wonderful father someday- and he doesn’t love Joe back.
Or: Oh my god, they were roommates (who were in love with each other).

Summary
He wants to call her something softer- mon amour, or chérie, or even babe or bae or baby, whatever it is the Americans are calling each other this century, because those are less likely to make her erupt into laughter than his French. Which is absurd, because hello, it’s the language of love. Booker would melt into a puddle if she called him something sappy in his native language, not that he’s inclined to admit it. But she doesn’t like to be sweet talked, not when she’s upset, and she prefers Freeman to Nile when they’re in work mode, something left over from the marines. So Freeman it is.
Or: Nile has a panic attack, and Booker loves her very much, even when she's being stubborn.

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.

Summary
Joe is having a very taxing day.
In fairness, no one expects to begin the day by coming face-to-face with one’s lover’s estranged family, standing on the doorstep when one had been expecting the postman, or perhaps the drunk Frenchman from next door.

Summary
“I was just looking at the books,” he said, and Yusuf huffed. But later that night, Yusuf looked at him long and hard, like he was trying to puzzle something out.
“What?” he said, tearing a piece of bread off a loaf and stuffing it in his mouth so as not to get lost in Yusuf’s eyes, which he found highly distracting.
“I didn’t know you could read,” Yusuf said.
*
Or, a brief history of Joe, Nicky, and the printed word.

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.)
