Summary
Nicolo Genova, or Nicky to his American friends, is just trying to get through his PhD program. He's writing his dissertation on Post-classical homoerotic poetry, but he cannot find anyone who speaks an extinct dialect of Arabic so he can translate a famed love poem by a little known poet, al-Kaysani.
Strangely enough, his friend knows a professor on campus who can translate the poem. What starts as a simple request for assistance on his dissertation blossoms into something that Nicky -- shy, reserved Nicky who abandoned his plans for the priesthood months before ordination -- had never imagined for himself: true love.
What he doesn't know is that Dr. Joseph Jones (his handsome, erudite, kind, lovely Joe) is harboring a secret too large for anyone to believe -- and that secret might just cost them everything.

AAAAAAAAA!!!!! this was so so good i can’t stop thinking about it. the angst, the yearning, the happiness, all of it. it almost felt like i was falling in love too, reading how you wrote their relationship. so tender, so loving. i loved the way joe was written especially - you achieved a great balance of the blasè and weariness of someone that old, and how it all came to a halt when he met nicky. such a beautiful love story between those two. AND THE ENDING!!!!! so well done, we love quynh in this house. this was so beautiful, these versions of the old guard and esp joenicky will stay with me. thank u!!!!

Summary
“You--- fine. That’s fair enough, Xiao, but take this into consideration at least.” Verr Goldet turns to him and looks him straight in the eye with the determined look of a mother.
“Immortals like you have a lot of time. But as far as I can tell, the biggest problem with immortality might just be forgetting how much time you don’t have.”

Summary
Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.
The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.
The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.
Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

Summary
And then the countries start filing out onto the stage, one by one. And then it’s their turn to step out of the tunnel, into the heart of the National Stadium, into the blinding lights and the deafening cheers and the music that pounds into every bone in his body. And then it finally hits him.
He’s here.
