Summary
Nile’s eyes are darting between them both, obviously thrown off by the open aggression, and Joe sighs. This is not the first impression he would have liked to make. Across from him, Nicky’s mouth is pressed into a thin line. “I’m sorry, Nile,” Joe says. “Nicky and I had a complicated beginning, and now we find it too easy to slip into arguments.”
Nicky closes his eyes and breathes in deeply through his nose. “Yes,” he says. “Things often become more heated between us than we mean them to.”
Or: Joe decided to forge his own path in 1102, and it takes the events at Merrick Pharmaceuticals to shake up the status quo.

Summary
Over the next few months, Joe runs into Nicky every so often at the farmer’s market. Some weekends Nicky doesn’t make it, because of his work schedule - Joe doesn’t understand it because he doesn’t ask, though he does start to recognize when one of those missing weekends is coming up because Nicky will stock up on things with longer shelf-life. When they do run into each other, they make small talk and move through the stalls together.
Joe doesn’t mention it to Lykon when he stops by, because it is kind of weird, that Lykon’s ex-boyfriend texts Joe things like - If you’re here, the apples look particularly good this week and thank you for that recipe, I did not know what I was going to do with that much couscous
Or,
Joe wouldn't usually consider starting anything with his best friend's ex, but as long as they keep it casual, it shouldn't be weird... right?

Summary
In truth this is but the latest bad day in a series of terrible ones: four days ago Yusuf was kidnapped and tied up and slung over the back of a horse, and the days since he has spent with a bag over his head as that horse carried him further and further away from his home. That was insulting enough, but being trussed up and left propped against the trunk of a tree without even a guard to stand over him is a new low.
At least these bandits haven’t tried to slit his throat, and seem more interested in kidnapping than actual bodily harm. But flopping around trying to find something to cut his bonds with is a particular flavor of humiliation he never wishes to experience again, especially when he hears people coming back to the camp, and the only thing Yusuf can do to preserve his dignity is to flip onto his back.
(An Ella Enchanted AU)
Now with a wedding epilogue!

Summary
“We could dance like lovers now, out on the street?”
“Not everywhere,” Nicky said. Joe stretched his hand out over the space between their beds, and Nicky took it and laced their fingers together. “Cities are safer, but there is still danger.”
Joe sighed. Nicky had rubbed his thumb over Joe’s knuckles and wished that Joe had not suffered for so long only to be reborn into a world that was still steeped in prejudice, in the same intolerance and hatred that caused all his pain. “I would like to dance with you like that one day,” Joe told him, and Nicky had to press a kiss to their tangled fingers.

Summary
“Yusuf?” Nicky breathes, and the man fires a blast into his chest.
Nile winces - it’s gory, messy, he’ll be down for awhile - before his words catch up to her, and she whips her head around to stare at the man holding a gun on her family.
She does recognize him, she realizes with a sinking feeling. She thought she’d just hadn’t had a dream about him in awhile, but she never made the connection between a man going about his mundane business in a store with the screaming one trapped under the ocean that had been haunting her. She just thought he was a random face plucked from her memories.

Summary
And there it is, isn’t it? Something they’ve known for a long time, but haven’t named it. Have been too scared to name it. Something that speaks in their bones, in the space between them.
Crowley and Aziraphale are turned human. This is the aftermath.

My absolute favorite turned human fic. The yearning is so visceral, and Crowley's confession (both the rehearsed and botched version) is so... it's just so beautiful and human and messy and absolutely perfect. Unbelievable how good this fic is.

Oh my goodness. I just adore how gradually Spock comes to respect McCoy, and how ridiculous he is once he enters the yearning stage. "On Vulcan, blue eyes are usually a sign of blindness or disease." Oof. Buddy.

Probably my favorite deancas fic. The worldbuilding is off the charts, and Cas is characterized exactly how I like.

Summary
The end of a story. McCoy is a night person. He prefers even a simulated nighttime over any other kind of morning. Spock waits until the Enterprise lights are dim and finds him in med bay. Spock has something to tell him.

Genuinely very sweet, but with just a hint of playfulness. Love that they both just roll with approaching this using the scientific method, but each in their own way.

So in character and so lovely. They come together so gently here.
