recthethingSome Joe/Nicky fic that I have really enjoyed:
deliver us unto each other (13021 words) by strictlybecca
Rating: Mature
Summary: Five prayers Nicky makes on his own, plus one with company.
a burden shared is a burden halved (6954 words) by strangehighs
Rating: Mature
Summary: (And a joy shared is a joy doubled.) Sometimes Yusuf wondered how much a life could change in so little time. Things he’d taken for absolute truths, unquestionable certainties, crumbled in a moment. In a sword’s blow.
Messengers (1914 words) by sheafrotherdon
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Summary: Yusuf kisses him, a kiss that asks for more than the reassurances he has offered, that claims something from the infinite.
Invisible String (7965 words) by firbolg_boyfriends
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Summary: The thing about being a thousand years old was that years didn’t feel very long anymore; they were an over-produced commodity. The years of studying at al-Azhar wouldn’t feel like much at all to him now, but back then, they’d lasted centuries, and perhaps it was because all the time he spent without Nicky felt interminable, even before he’d known who it was he was missing. He’d carried with him a vague and inexplicable sense that he was waiting for something to begin, though he knew not what.
