In a world where things can be inverted and people can travel backwards in time, Joe and Nicky, agents of a secret organization striving to do some good, found the weight of saving the world fell on their shoulders, all the while as they tried to navigate their feelings and maintain a relationship when they never seemed to be in the right time with each other...

Summary
Any other night he might’ve crawled out of bed and gone out to the back garden and stood in the storm.

Summary
Joe is so singularly bright, and Nicky’s only human, he can’t keep looking at the landscape when he has the sun in his eyes. Joe could probably explain it better, with the perfect imagery to evoke how it isn’t about anything else being less, but about his beloved being more. Nicky’s never been the poetic one. He just knows that when Joe touches him, Joe’s warmth, his glow, his boundless love, fill Nicky’s senses so completely that nothing else matters.

Summary
"Numbness lingers in the wake of their buried grief. They’re performing all the motions of healing, but Nicky is still hungry for justice in a way that’s more of an itch than a stomach-ache, like if he could just drag his nails deep enough into his skin, into Joe’s skin, he could satisfy it."
In which Nicky is not handling Booker's betrayal as well as he'd like.
