Summary
But another part of Viktor, a much more honest part near the center of his chest, knew it was to get a chance at seeing Jayce’s face flushed again, if only with indignation.
Knew that even as Viktor replaced his organs with steel and gears, Jayce’s name would be carved into them, signed in that same blocky script that Jayce scrawled in all his notebooks. I belong to Jayce Talis.
A curse and a promise. “One Jayce didn’t know he made.” Viktor thought ruefully.

Summary
“And it didn’t bother you that the guard thought you were -- that we were -- ?” Nicolò asks, for what is definitely the fourth time, as they bed down, hopefully hidden from view by the reeds and trees of the Nile delta.
Yusuf sighs, rolling onto his back. “Do I mind that he thought I would be foolish enough to abandon all reason and take up with one of the men who helped sack Al-Quds? Yes, a little. Not enough to stop from using it as a perfectly serviceable escape route.”
“No,” Nicolò says, “I mean, that you would prefer the company of other men at all.”
Yusuf blinks, bemused. He hadn’t even thought of that. “As a rule, I try not to be insulted by accusations that are true,” he says drily.
OR: Five times they were faking it and two times it was real.

It takes many years for Yusuf to learn they can be rough with each other.

Summary
Joe is one of those people, Nicky realizes, who seems to have unlocked the secret that beautiful people have: how to carry themselves, how to exude. Nicky doesn't dislike his own looks -- yes, during his teenage years he'd been self-conscious of his awkwardly big hands and his inescapable nose, especially whenever starting over in a new place -- but as he's grown into adulthood, it's all evened out into an appearance he's more or less satisfied with. But he's never mastered that next-level, head-turning attractiveness that Joe has.
Or: Five times Nicky thinks Joe is one of the most beautiful men to walk the earth, and one time Joe looks objectively awful and truly wins Nicky's heart.Bookmarked by terraknights

Summary
Nicolò was close to his own age, which meant he was well past his thirtieth year, and very handsome, anyone reasonable would have to admit that, and clean enough in his habits – well, these days, anyway – and pleasant in his manner, when he was not trying to kill anybody. Actually, Yusuf had noted that he could be quite polite even in battle. The point was, there was absolutely no reason he should be a virgin.

Summary
Over the past few years, he’s started sleeping as little as he possibly can without dying — his under-eyes are permanently bruised and he spends daytimes hallucinating. It’s better than dwelling on what has come before: screams, limp bodies, spraying blood, blue eyes.
