Pilgrim of Love (22830 words) by TheManyFacesofJester Fandom: Hotel Portofino (TV) Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Lucian Ainsworth/Anish Sengupta Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Fantasy Summary: “Anish of Sengupta, best of his line, the fairest ruler of all time. With no wife by his side, he shall become his people’s pride.” Assuming the prophecy means their son will only be a great ruler if he never falls in love, Prince Anish's parents have him hidden away in a walled palace where he is never to learn of love. But when Anish discovers a secret passage that leads to a seaside estate, and a painter named Lucian, he finds himself both entranced and bewildered by the unknown feelings and unnamed emotions his secret friend awakens in him. Loosely inspired by Washington Irving’s “Legend of Prince Ahmed Al Kamel” or “Pilgrim of Love”

A New Day With No Mistakes In It Yet (11056 words) by TheManyFacesofJester Chapters: 4/9 Fandom: Hotel Portofino (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lucian Ainsworth/Anish Sengupta Summary: “Nish managed to close his eyes just in time. The gunshot rang out and he felt his head explode for just a second before- A train whistle. That wasn’t right.” Nish closes his eyes for his execution in the woods, only to open them back at the train station right before he left for Turin. Nothing after that has happened. Yet. Convinced he’s been given a chance to change his fate, Nish returns to the Hotel Portofino to try and change Lucian’s too, sure he’s meant to find a way for both of them to live better lives. Only, Lucian isn’t as receptive to Nish’s interpretation of his vision. Or so he seems at first. Separately and together, Nish and Lucian battle fear, confusion, and doubt as they try to determine what to do with what they’ve been shown and who they are to each other now certain secrets have been revealed. Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Chapter Four Excerpt: Unwanted in Lucian’s company, and never desired in anyone else’s, Nish found himself alone in his room for the rest of the day, missing both breakfast and lunch in favor of sitting in the attic doing nothing to successfully distract himself. He didn’t know where to go from that point on. He’d never had any real plan for his life, not outside of his dreams of being a writer of great social and political commentaries like his favorite authors had been, but that seemed silly and wayward now. He was alone in the world with no connections except those he had through Lucian. He had his family in India, but... 

Nish hadn’t been to India since he’s left as a boy, hadn’t had any contact with his family outside of occasional telegrams and letters, all of which were almost exclusively about Nish’s health and career. His parents wanted him to finish his medical training and become a doctor, and if he went to see them they would never treat his arrival like a ‘return home’ but as a brief visit to see his family before he returned to England to finish what they sent him there to do. 

Lucian’s talk of Virat, however, stirred some familial strings inside Nish, and he considered whether he shouldn’t send for his brother to come stay with him. If Lucian’s dream was to be believed, and Nish did believe in it even if Lucian still wasn’t entirely convinced, then Virat still held Nish in high regard and would be glad for his company. He didn’t really remember Virat too much, if he was being honest, and it wouldn’t matter much if he did as his memory would be of a young boy as it was so long ago since they’d seen each other, but it soothed his soul a little to think there was someone out there in the world who would want to be around him.

Labor of Love (46504 words) by TheManyFacesofJester Chapters: 14/14 Fandom: Hotel Portofino (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Lucian Ainsworth/Anish Sengupta Characters: Anish Sengupta, Lucian Ainsworth, Bella Ainsworth Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Historical, Alternate Universe - Fantasy Summary: Returning WWII medic Anish Sengupta intended to spend one night in the charming, if deeply outdated, Hotel Portofino after his ship was called into port for a storm. But the discovery of Lucian, a badly injured man who’s barricaded himself in his room to prevent anyone trying to help him, changes that. Despite Lucian’s warnings that the hotel is cursed and he needs to get out while he can, Nish refuses to abandon his patient, assuming the man is just confused and traumatized from the war. As the days carry on, however, Lucian’s warnings about a repeating day no one can escape from become harder to ignore and easier to accept. But the passage of time also brings Nish and Lucian closer together, leaving Nish with a choice between saving himself from the shared fate of everyone in the hotel, or taking the risk of being trapped forever trying to break the curse and rescue the man he can no longer imagine life without.

Chapter Seven Excerpt:

Nish had changed his mind. He couldn’t give Lucian up forever, couldn’t lose him entirely. It was selfish, and he knew it was, but he wanted a window for return even if that meant Lucian never really understood why Nish had left. Maybe they both just needed a little time apart and everything could go back to how it was. Nish wanted to believe that more than he actually did, but he was committed to his path now. 

Crouching down once more, Nish slowly and quietly turned the knob and pushed the door open. Bella ran her hotel with pride, no door in her business would produce a squeak, so the door swung open soundless enough to keep the lightest sleeper from stirring. But there was no one sleeping. 

From the window, the opening of the door instantly caught Lucian’s eye, which he tore away at last from the letter he was reading by the light of the full moon. 

The sight of Lucian half-dressed and bathed in moonlight was so striking that Nish momentarily missed what he was holding and simply froze in sheer admiration. When Lucian turned to fully face him the spell was broken and Nish brought himself upright. There was a beat where the two men simply faced each other, but then Lucian held up the letter as a smile spilled across his face and Nish was swinging the door shut behind him, his feet moving without command towards the window until his body was wrapped in Lucian’s arms.
