Summary
Nick was unarmed but the stranger wasn’t. He brandished a knife. Nick couldn’t stop himself from cussing as the door closed and locked behind the unfamiliar man. “The door!”
”Who are you?” The guy was tall, decently muscled. He held his tanto knife in a sure grip.
”Who the hell are you?!” Nick shot back. “If you don’t know who I am, why are you even here?”
The stranger’s face morphed into one of shock as he blurted out, “You’re an omega!”
Nick sprung into action to take advantage of the man’s surprise. “And you just locked yourself in my goddamn safe room!”

The Consortium of Genoa - aka History's Worst Closet by MyTenderMadness

Summary
Right. We’re back!
After several months of behaving, briefly, like a respectable public historian — a phrase which still feels illegal in my mouth — I am returning to the subject that started this entire nonsense project: the medieval Consortium of Genoa, also known as the world’s oldest glass closet, also known as that time a warrior-king and a merchant prince accidentally built a Mediterranean superpower while everyone pretended they were just very committed to maritime reform.
For the next eight weeks, we are talking about King Nicolò II of Genoa and Prince Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, because apparently I enjoy pain, footnotes, and watching historians perform interpretive gymnastics around the word “husband.”

Modern Historians talk about Pseudo-History of Nicky being Nicolo II, King of Genoa, and Joe being Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, a Merchant (Pirate) Prince who enters a political arrangement that they refuse to call "marriage." and become "History's worst Closet!"Bookmarked by generalmayhem

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.

Summary
Nicolò likes this song; it’s a very comical and dramatic story about sea creatures going to war when a sardine who left her fiancé takes up with another fish.
Nicolò mutters ‘Enough’ under his breath, downs the last of the wine in his cup, and stands abruptly, that particular look in his eye that means someone is about to get what’s coming to them, violently or otherwise.
