Summary
“So,” Nile begins, sitting in the beat up Hyundai with some meatballs in her lap, still dressed in her running gear. “Sexiled, huh?”
Andy nods, chewing away at her own meatballs. She points at herself. “Professional third-wheel here.”
Nile nods. “Well, they’re in love.” She shrugs, and Andy raises an eyebrow at her. “What? Love makes you do stupid stuff.”
Nile experiences the whole world, learns some disgusting secrets, gains another set of parents—as well as a cranky vodka aunt—and learns what it means to be immortal.

Summary
The first time she sees it, they’re in Brazil. Joe cups a hand around the back of Nicky’s neck and tugs him in to press their foreheads together; Nicky curls his fingers loosely around Joe’s wrist and closes his eyes. Nile watches, wide-eyed, as color stains their skin.
Or: a soulmate-identifying mark AU.

The Extraordinarily Complex Task of Condensing a 920-Year-Old Romance into a 145-Word Speech (While Being Abducted) by Liketheriver

Summary
At times, it seemed like all they did was no more than a single raindrop of hope in an ocean of despair and chaos, but together all those raindrops had evidently helped. Copley had captured it all, the last one hundred and fifty years of their lives condensed down into a few dozen photos and newspaper clippings. It seemed so small, and yet, all encompassing at the same time.
Kind of like how a declaration of love in a van during an abduction had condensed down all nine hundred and twenty years of an epic romance into a few hundred words. It seemed an impossible feat, but then, his Yusuf was just the kind of guy to pull it off.
Or, the stories behind the speech in the van.

Summary
The pounding came again. Nicky’s hands dropped to his apron, absentmindedly wiping the butter off his hands as he walked to the door. He looked through the peephole to make sure it wasn’t a mugger or robbers.
He would’ve been less surprised if it was the Queen herself.
Tall, unfortunately handsome, his shirt and apron soaked through in the rain and his curls dripping over his head. Nicky blinked but nope, it was still his arch-nemesis. Nicky rocked back on his heels, wondering why on earth Joe Al-Kaysani would be at his back door in the middle of the night.
In which:
Nicky and Joe's bakeries share an alley and their competitive nature has gotten the better of them for years. Until one stormy night.

Summary
“Ask me, you know you want to.” Nicky said.
And Joe did, he desperately wanted to.
“Would you mind helping me for a bit?” Joe said, gesturing towards the ingredients ready to be molded into Baklawa.
“Not at all,” Nicky said, crossing the threshold and shrugging off his rain jacket. “All that stands between you and the universe’s ire these days seems to be me.”
“That’s a cruel thing to say while you’re taking off your shirt.”
In which: dating a world renowned baker does come with some unexpected pros.
