This artwork it is, to this day, one of my favorites of the fandom, and it was the first time I had an artist draw a little something for one of my fics so it will forever be a special fic to me! So glad you enjoyed it.
We’ve got something new folks! No nessian today! 😂 Okay, I will admit I watched the old guard movie before I read the comics but I’m SO glad I did!!! Props to @hoax1918 for the artwork it is GORGEOUS! This fic goes into an everyday detail that I absolutely love! I love how this just exposes the reasons they care for each other and how they got there. It’s a simple gesture, but they can’t help it! They’re literally magnetic. There’s something about the story that just brims with the electricity of the possible. I fully enjoyed just how hard they’re trying NOT to be fond of each other in public. But again, they can’t help it and I will forever love the pining in this dynamic. Nicky and Joe just have this sweet sadness about them before they become a couple and I don’t think I’ve found that in many other ships! So if you’re looking for a bit of ancient yearning definitely give this fic a read! Thanks to @shadowhannibad for sharing 💘

Brother Damiano shrugs. “Or I could keep prescribing you that so at least you can sleep. Even if you must confess and pay penance for it.”
Nicolò mutters a quick apology to the Lord, then hides his face with both hands. The man… it was the same bearded man he saw bleeding amongst fire and death. But he did not always struggle in Nicolò’s dreams, no.
Sometimes the man looked like he was enjoying life. He is always travelling, as if he’s in a hurry. In his dreams, Nicolò has never seen him in the same place more than two nights in a row. Sometimes the man spent the night in a lively city and would indulge himself with others.
With women, and men. Definitely more often with men, as much as Nicolò tells himself he does not keep counts of the man’s conquests. And sometimes the man indulged himself with his own hands. And Nicolò would wake up aroused and miserable. This, Nicolò has never confessed to anyone.
“Would you like to try bleeding it out then? Might unclog your system,” Damiano suggests, turning around to search for his tools.
Nicolò straightens up so quickly that he almost topples off his stool. “No.”
Damiano stares up at him, confused and curious. “No?”
“I cannot—” Bleed. He stammers. “I-I cannot… see blood.”
On a summer morning in the year of our Lord 1099, Nicolò dies at the river near the abbey.
He was never supposed to be there. He’s supposed to have travelled to the holy land so he could worship at the tomb of Christ and ask forgiveness for his sins.
His brothers think it’s a miracle, but after the dreams start, Nicolò knows there’s nothing holy about what happened to him.
