For @lexpxrdus​ because we have only enough spoons for happy, domestic fluff

          “My heart...” Nicolò sighs in relief, abandoning the trowel in his hand accepting the glass of chilled mint tea Joe has offered instead. He sits back on his heels in the dirt of their garden, appearing disheveled. “...perhaps..  this is more work than I anticipated.”

He stared hard at the table as he tried to recall his attacker, and began describing: “Tall, built like a fucking Viking with greasy, long, auburn hair and a red beard. He was at least as big as Lex, maybe larger, and I’m one hundred percent certain he was wearing a Kings of Chaos cut... not Tsavo chapter.” He rapped his beaten knuckles against the worn wood of his brother’s dining table, trying to make sense of the attack he’d only just escaped. His face crumpled in on itself like a paper bag then he sighed, shaking his head before meeting his younger brother’s gaze. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”

ever since steve had returned from his last op, jess has been paying close attention to him. perhaps too much, it’s almost creepy (but that’s her partner, so who cares, really?). the patch in his tac suit hadn’t taken her long, but the wound had certainly caught her eye afterwards- it had been days, and it still remained. so the first chance she gets, jess corners him in their bedroom, shutting the door behind her. “steve,” she starts, voice level, though internally her heart is pounding - she has a nagging suspicion that he’s about to confirm her fears. “that slash from the other day. you still have it,” jess nods towards him and swallows harshly, “that should be long gone. baby, what did you do?”

@lexpxrdus​ // OH BOY.

@lexpxrdus || For Nile

It was nice to have Nile around. Whilst it was sad that she had to leave her mortal family behind, Nicky hoped they could be worthy, in her eyes, of being considered a secondary family. Nothing would ever replace her mother and brother, of course, but perhaps they could give her some sense of familiarity.

They didn’t have many jobs in the late Fall and throughout Winter. Those months were mostly spent uneventfully with the occasional break every now and then. Nobody really complained. Whilst they had no issue with serving as silent protectors of others, it was still nice to have some prolonged downtime. Everybody needed a break, even immortals.

Christmas wasn’t as big a part of Nicky’s life anymore as it once was. Though he was still a Catholic and still observed the Christian holidays, he was much more engaged with Joe’s own. Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, and so on. He even prayed with Yusuf, using those times as counting towards daily prayers.

Now, Christmas was still a ways off but as the seasons turned and winter grew closer, seasonal depression was sure to sink in and Nile must be missing her family. Nicky remembered his first Christmas after becoming immortal. Even with Joe there it had been sad.

“Nile,” he speaks up one day as he comes into the main room where she’s sitting. She’s alone as Andy is sleeping and Joe is in the armory - it was his turn to clean the weapons. Nicky would have helped but they were both stubborn about handling it alone as Andy and Booker did when it had been their turns. “What did your family do for Christmas?”

@lexpxrdus​ asked jim for the doctor  (    test muses starter call  :  accepting   )

«  𝙸𝚃'𝚂 𝙶𝙾𝙾𝙳 𝚃𝙾 𝙷𝙰𝚅𝙴 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙾𝙽 𝙱𝙾𝙰𝚁𝙳 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙴𝙽𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙿𝚁𝙸𝚂𝙴,  Doc.  »    Jim extends a hand towards the Doctor,  the familiarity not lost in the touch, but still not lacking in professionalism  ——  and respect,  too.  they’ve worked together before,  after all,  Jim knows he’s worth his reputation.    «  hopin’ you’re not the bearer of bad news, of course.  how’s earth faring  ?   »    he feels like it’s been ages since he last set foot on it,  the vastness of space seemingly stretching years into decades.  not that James minds so much,  not with his crew  —  his family  —  right at his side.

These days, the night sky was harder and harder to see what with all the artificial light practically everywhere. As they rested, waiting for word from Andy on what they’d do next, Yusuf sat on top of a roof in Morocco, staring up at the sky with Nicky beside him.

“Do you remember the first time we looked up at the stars together, my love?” He asked, smiling in the darkness, one arm cocked under his head, the other wrapped around his lover.
