Summary
"I loved my wife," Sebastien starts and Joe snorts.
"You loved your wife for twenty four years," he says. "You spent nearly ten years of that in the army or prison. Nicky was my life for more than nine hundred."
AU from the escape from the lab.

Summary
To be fair, Joe did know there were some things Nicky wasn’t quite telling him. But it didn’t matter to him who Nicky’s ancestors had been. What mattered was Nicky, who was kind, and thoughtful, and relentlessly committed to doing the right thing, including his share of the dishes. Really, what else did you need to know that someone was a keeper?

Summary
“It’s been eighteen months!” said Quỳnh. “First Joe's new boyfriend is a doctor and working shifts, then he doesn’t use social media, then he’s studying in Manchester, then he’s shy and doesn’t like photos – it’s getting transparent. I’m almost embarrassed for Joe.”

Summary
A dam bursts inside Nicky, and he is so swept away in the tide of his relief he admits everything. “I meant it,” he says. “Of course I meant it, I’ve fallen in love with you. Let me keep you. Let me stay with you. Marry me, Joe.”
“I thought I would spend my nights in darkness,” Joe tells him, and Nicky knows this about him, too, that he will not give a straight answer when a poem would do. “I thought I’d live on a pale shadow of what you’ve made me feel. But you – your smile could light up the darkest night, Nicolò. Your heart is so sweet, my love, you’ve captured mine so easily. I’ll stay with you for as long as you’ll have me.”
Nicky would blame the wine, he would blame the summer breeze, the beautiful view, temporary insanity, anything, but it would be a lie and he’s an honest man. If he’s drunk on anything, it’s Joe. If anything makes him shiver, it’s Joe. If there is any beautiful view, it’s Joe’s eyes, bright with tears and smiling at him. If he’s insane, it’s only love.
OR: The one where Joe and Nicky get married after knowing each other for two weeks.
