Pairing:Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolò di Genova

Summary: She was starting to feel almost normal when Hap cautiously whispered, “Nile. Did…did you dream?” “Yes,” she said, feeling a chill, “Four people in a boxcar. Three men and one woman; I just saw their faces and not their daemons.” She chose not to think about that cold, dark place. It was hardly an earth shattering dream. If she were speaking to anyone but her daemon she would have tried to dismiss it. Hap let out a strained laugh, “I dreamed too. About four daemons whose humans I couldn’t see…”

Summary: Your unfaithful husband has defected back to the USSR, and been returned to you in poor health, both physically and mentally, having apparently been tortured due to a clerical error.

Pairing: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolo di Genova

Summary: Joe al-Kaysani, professor of art history, has a very clear idea of what he's looking for in a partner: a fellow academic with his shit together who can provide deep intellectual conversations on demand. Nicolò di Genova, surly food services chef who doesn't even warn people about pork or have a bed frame, does not hit the brief. Still, there's something magnetic about him, and Joe figures there's no harm in having a little fun while he waits for Prince Charming to arrive.
