Summary
Vampire hunting isn't what it used to be. So here Joe is, nine-hundred years old, spending his Friday night wandering the live-donor clubs, checking permits and kicking out vamps with only a few decades under their belt who still think flashing fang in public is cute.
Until Joe turns the corner into the alley and sees Nicoló di fucking Genova himself, fang out, glaring at the silver fence surrounding him and looking about two seconds away from actually drinking a five-day-old pig. Joe he should have just called it a night. He’s clearly hallucinating.

Summary
In a world in which supernatural creatures exist, immortal beings rely on a potion to preserve their sanity: If taken every couple of decades, Praeservitum erases just enough memories from an immortal lifespan to make sense of them all and live an unburdened life.
Joe is a vampire who's never had trouble with Praeservitum. If his life sometimes feels a bit lonely, he doesn’t want to blame a memory potion for it.
Nicky is a werewolf who has grown sceptical of the potion, as he feels increasingly like there is something missing from his life that used to be there, if only he could remember.
A chance encounter sees Nicky rescue Joe from a sticky situation. Although apprehensive of each other at first – they are a vampire and werewolf, after all – Nicky offers to help Joe when his friend goes missing. As they embark on a journey through the night, their lives unravel before them: where are all these memories coming from? And is this really the first time they’ve met?

Summary
This is based on a prompt from the RNM Kink Meme:
After the shed incident, Alex leaves Roswell rather than joining the military. Lacking resources, he engages in sex work to make ends meet.
Michael finds out.

Summary
“Tell me,” Nicolò says finally. “Why should I go with you, Yusuf Al-Kaysani?”
Because I have loved you for a millennium, as you have loved me, Joe thinks. Our souls know each other as the ocean knows the moon. We are in constant motion together, the push and the pull, the rise and the fall. One cannot exist without the other.
Instead, Joe manages a smile he cannot feel. “I have the keys to the car.”

Something went wrong in Merrick’s lab before Nile arrived with guns blazing. It wasn’t Andy’s bleeding mortality or Booker’s stinging betrayal.
It was Nicky, and by extension, it was Joe, too.
(The AU where the final death is not permanent. It’s a reset: it’s another chance. Nine years after Nicky’s final death, the fractured remains of the Old Guard encounter him on a job, and he’s not alone.)
