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
Nicolo has a growing list of Things That No Longer Make Sense. They go as follows:
1) He can no longer die. Which, in itself, is pretty strange.
2) The man he killed multiple times is somehow, impossibly, like him.
3) He may or may not be having a crisis of faith.
4) His former enemy is treating him like a friend. Even defending him, the man that can't die.
5) And, most confusing of all, why does he like it when Yusuf smiles at him like THAT?- Language:

Summary
“Don’t -” Nicolo begins, but has no idea what should come next. He has no idea what he needs the man not to do. He only knows what he wants the man to do, and that is to lay hands upon him again. Nicolo has the sudden, mad urge to drop the knife, close the distance between them in the hopes that he might be killed a second time.

Summary
Even if it were possible, a return to things as they were does not feel like much of a choice. More like surrender, like succumbing to a tide that would sweep him back into that numbing sea of alienation in which he has been drowning these last weeks. But if not that, then what?
Nicolò says nothing, just watches Yusuf. Nicolò’s eyes look like a sea too, Yusuf thinks, but not a sea for drowning.
-
Yusuf and Nicolò die, and kill each other, and nothing changes. Until it does.

Summary
Together, they strip the corpses of fallen soldiers like scavengers, sending prayers of forgiveness to their respective Gods, and take what they can carry on two horses. Eilat is several weeks of hard riding away, and from there Yusuf is insistent they take a merchant ship to Aden. Nicolo soon loses all feeling in his behind and thighs. Yusuf continues to alight from his horse as if having awoken from a pleasant nap. “It’s all about rhythm,” he tells Nicolo, moving his hips to demonstrate. Nicolo contemplates killing him, for whatever good that will do.
--
Yusuf asks Nicolo to run away with him; Nicolo agrees, with reservations. Serious reservations. If only he could remember what those were.- Language:

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.
