History has cut our throats
Yusuf/Nicolò + Andromache/Noriko, omegaverse + Pirates AU, wip
Following a broken heart after he had just presented, omega Nicolò was sent to a monastery. Fifteen years later, he is summoned by his elderly father who has promised his sonâs hand to a nobleman. On Nicolòâs voyage by sea to meet his future spouse, his ship is seized by the infamous pirate Al-Tayyib, the scourge of the seven seas. Many years ago, alpha Andromache lost her soulmate to the sea. After almost a decade of searching aboard her mighty vessel, she decided to relinquish the captainship over to her protĂŠgĂŠ, Yusuf. Andromache continues her quest alone, but every once in a while, she finds her way back to her crew.

A comicsverse Pirates AU and one of my contributions for The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022 (brought by @theoldguardevents), inspired by the most gorgeous set of moodboards made by the fantastic @pochiperpe90 (check her main post here).
âTo first blood?â Nicolo asks, but even as he says the words his mouth pulls down, rueful, at Yusufâs raising brows. What is first blood to people like them?
For so universal a mixture by @wrenaspun - In which duelling to the death becomes the most intimate engagement in the world.
Thanks to the @theoldguardevents Reversebang <3

Chapter 8 - We're Going to Live Through This
Chapter 8 of this Book of Nile fic is up!
Lost and Found is my fourth and final collaboration for @theoldguardevents TOG Reverse Big Bang and I'm so happy to have @captain-grammar by my side for this one again. This is based off one of my favorite movies ever and I am so excited to have an Andy/Booker AU inspired by it!
Each of the five chapters has accompanying art with it, so new art will get posted biweekly as the chapters get updated!
âSo,â Andy said, folding her arms over her stomach. âWhereâs a good place to get a drink, SĂŠbastien?â SĂŠbastien took a step forward, indicating for Andy to follow him through to the other end of the pass. âThereâs a place not too far,â he said. âAnd call me Booker, please.â Andy stepped to his right, falling in with his slow pace. âI thought only your friends called you Booker?â Booker ignored the pointed barb and laughed. âWhy? Think we canât be friends?â The pair shared a look of faint amusement that lingered. Andy exhaled a snort of laughter, looking down towards the ground and said nothing but continued to walk by his side. Booker smiled to himself, a strangely warm feeling beginning to kindle in his core. It had been a long time since heâd felt chivalrous and heâd forgotten how wonderful it could beâŚ
Chapter One on Ao3
âWhat do we do now?â Andy wondered, muttering under her breath. She glanced over to her left at Booker as though searching to him for an answer. He was already staring at her, a lop-sided smirk on his lips and a glimmer of another bad idea kindling in his eyes. Bundling up the towel and the peas, launching them into the trash can, he heaved himself to his feet and reached a hand out to bring Andy back onto hers. âWant to go to a wedding?â Andy should have told Booker to go to hell. After losing her purse and the half-cocked plan to get it back, the last thing she wanted was to go to a wedding. She should have cut him loose, said âgoodbyeâ and found another way. Instead she rolled her eyes and walked beside him while they headed to a busier street. Bookerâs efforts might have been woefully lacking but there was something about his earnest, almost puppy-like desire to please she was beginning to find endearing. âFine,â she huffed, as though it pained her to relent. âBut weâre taking a cab this time.â
Chapter Two on Ao3
âYou donât have to primp yourself up for this thing.â Bookerâs voice was husky in its lowness. Andy turned from her hasty ablutions and caught his gaze across the dark of the back seat, soft and intent. Andy cleared her throat a little, fighting back the sudden nervous flutter that erupted in her stomach. âLooking like I havenât just crawled out of a dumpster might be nice, though,â she countered, adjusting the waist of her pantyhose with as much subtlety as she could muster, feeling her cheeks beginning to flush. Booker snorted a chuckle and turned to look out of his own window. âYou look great,â he said quietly, keeping his eyes firmly averted.
Chapter Three on Ao3
âIâm sorry,â she repeated, dropping her hands, swinging them down by her side as though not sure what to do with them. âReally. I donât know⌠I donât know. I donât know what to do, I donât know what to think or feel. Quynh, you, anythingâŚâ She looked so frightened, lost and completely overwhelmed. âCan we just forget this?â Andyâs voice was small. âJust eat, sleep and forget I did that?â She inched away from the window, settling onto the foot of the bed and opened the neglected take-away box. A smile flickered over Bookerâs face and gratitude flowed through him. âOf course,â he replied, gladly sitting next to her, taking a slice of pizza and getting comfortable.
Chapter Four on Ao3
Booker cradled Andyâs face and stared at her in disbelief that such a singular soul should want to align itself with his. This couldnât be real. This couldnât be happening. âYou were right,â Andy concluded, leaning closer to Booker once more. âWe were meant to find each other. We did meet here for a reason. You needed to jump and I needed a push.â Booker laughed breathily and leaned his forehead against Andyâs, closing his eyes. âMaybe we should hold hands while we fall?â He offered, lightly grazing his lips against Andyâs, feeling her smile. âIâd like that,â Andy intoned, closing the hairâs breadth of space between them and kissing Booker so slowly and deliberately, there could be no room for misinterpretation.
Chapter Five on Ao3

Brother Damiano shrugs. âOr I could keep prescribing you that so at least you can sleep. Even if you must confess and pay penance for it.â 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 Nicolòâs dreams, no. Sometimes the man looked like he was enjoying life. He is always travelling, as if heâs 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 manâs 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. âWould you like to try bleeding it out then? Might unclog your system,â Damiano suggests, turning around to search for his tools. Nicolò straightens up so quickly that he almost topples off his stool. âNo.â Damiano stares up at him, confused and curious. âNo?â âI cannotââ Bleed. He stammers. âI-I cannot⌠see blood.â
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. Heâs 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 itâs a miracle, but after the dreams start, Nicolò knows thereâs nothing holy about what happened to him.

But You're Screaming So Loud ; E
this post is so late, I'm sorry. But! I did the reverse big bang this year and wrote a fic for the wonderful art that @queen-of-badomens did!
So much of this fic was either a) typed on my phone with one hand when I was trying to deal with a bad carpal tunnel flare up(with PT and medication treatment, almost surgery but I persevered) and b) typed frantically after midnight after I gained the ability to use both hands again haha.
Post is late because literally the day I was assigned to post, I started moving all of our belongings to our new apartment and then I caught COVID again while waiting on WiFi to be turned on at the new place...
(also?? look at this lovely header?? I've never had a header for a fic of mine before???)
Anyway, working with Em was an absolute blast and I'm only sorry that my Life and Health decided to intervene so much while doing this. Please please go check out the art post and give lots of love and reblogs to that <3
Fic is here, please heed the tags and the chapter warnings <3 and above all, I hope you enjoy!
Summary:
Someone's taking photos of Nicky, and while that seems a very mundane thing, it doesn't feel like it. There's large quantities of them, traveling at the speed of light to somewhere and while it seems harmless at first, Nicky still feels off-center by the amount of photos, all of him, in different places, days and times.
What starts out as a relaxing vacation, quickly turns into something so much more.
Closing and locking the door behind himself, he turns and walks over to the couch, sitting down heavily, sinking into the cushions and almost immediately turning himself into Joeâs side, âA few months was enough rest, right?â he asks, tired, trying to keep his tone light and joking. âAt least no oneâs shooting at us.â

âIf You Abide With Meâ by ZairaA
â Chapter 3/9
The silence that had fallen over the room was only broken by Yusufâs careful breaths and the beating of Nicolòâs own heart, and it wasnât until the tension had grown unbearable, that Nicolò forced himself to pull away and raise his eyes to look at Yusuf. He cleared his throat, nodded at the table and asked, âWhat were you doing?â Hesitantly holding up his hands in the way Yusuf had done before, which earned him an amused look. âSalah,â Yusuf said and then frowned, seeming to search for the words before he added with an unsure look, echoing Nicolòâs own language. âPrayer?â âOh.â Nicolò had not realised thatâs what Yusuf had been doing. âI never saw that kind of prayer.â Yusuf smiled, pressed his hand against his chest and again said, âPrayer.â Then he reached out and lightly touched Nicolòâs chest, shaking his head. âPrayer.â âYour prayers arenât like my prayers,â Nicolò translated softly. âYouâre not of Christian belief.
