But then he meets Joe, a surprisingly young and beautiful alpha, who outbids all his regulars and claims his next heat. Nicky's growing feelings and lingering anxieties haunt him as he gets to know Joe better and eventually it becomes too much to bear.

Summary
The famous Italian short story 'La Realtà di Tutto' is the tragic tale of two men who fall in love in the rolling hills of Calabria and are then separated by forces beyond their control. Nicolo di Genova- one of the few openly gay actors in cinema - has spent years trying to adapt it into a film, and he has assembled the best in the business to help him shepherd the film to success. There's only one thing missing just weeks from day one of shooting: the other leading man.
When Joseph Al-Kaysani - a moderately successful comedian - is cast in what Variety calls, 'the most hotly anticipated film on Netflix's docket,' and what industry insiders call, 'that gay mafia movie,' it's a complete surprise. Joseph is best known for his unflinchingly honest storytelling style, but there's one thing he's never shared with his audience or his family - he is gay.
But Joe isn't the only one with secrets.

Summary
Yes, another getting together story. In which Nicolò wants to go home but needs a guide, and Yusuf doesn't want to be alone, therefore accepts to accompany him. They still hate everything about eachother, though, and being together sometimes just brings out the worst of them both.
Also, the journey is long and dangerous and it's safer if Nicolò pretends to be Yusuf's prisoner. Or maybe not?

Summary
There’s a guy with eyes like sea glass Joe see’s all the time. On the train, down the shops, sitting at a little table in Booker’s café. He must live nearby, otherwise, things are a hell of a lot creepier than he first imagined. Joe’s pretty sure lagoon eyes isn’t a stalker though, if only because when he sees him he doesn’t get the Creeps™. What Joe does get, which is ridiculous considering they’ve never even spoken, is a serious case of feelings. Of longing. Of, dare he say it, yearning?
Because, and Joe says this with all the admiration ocean eyes’ beauty deserves. The man looks sad. Sad to the degree that Joe’s overreaching empathy (bleeding heart more like), makes him sad too. Because he has to know what, or who made this beautiful man with his eyes and his lips (plush) and his nose (the epitome of roman perfection) and his beauty mark (kissed into existence by Aphrodite herself), so sad.
He needs to, he yearns to; he just doesn’t necessarily expect to so soon and in such a… face-first manner.Bookmarked by CousinNick

Summary
“This is my couch, I’m the one who dragged it under the bridge.”
Nicky looks up, heavy-lidded, while the unexpected voice bounces repeatedly off pillared concrete and the iron beams that criss-cross overhead. There’s a guy – dark curls and darker eyes, with a pink slash of lips because they’re pressed thin with anger as he stalks forward on big-booted feet – that Nicky is pretty sure he recognizes from... around. Parties? The park, definitely; he’s got a battered skateboard tucked under his arm like it’s a sheathed weapon.

Summary
“That is very thoughtful of you,” the man says, almost surprised. From anyone else the words would have sounded sarcastic, but not him. From him it sounds sincere, warm. He honestly thinks Joe is thoughtful. He has no idea how selfish his reasons were.
“I’m going to continue this trend of thoughtfulness and get you your order,” Joe decides, pointing his pen at him. “And I hope you’re hungry. Anything particular you’re in the mood for?”
The man looks at him and something flashes through his eyes, gone before Joe can recognise it. His lips curve up into something resembling a smirk, but it’s so soft it's more of a teasing smile. “Surprise me.”
Joe feels his stomach flip over. “Noted.”ON HIATUS AS OF 8.25.21

Summary
In the day, you can stay and play. In the night, you should run and hide for death awaits on the other side. Beware the ones with watered lungs who you will succumb to with their fatal lips. Beware the ones with the sharp nails and teeth for they will not hesitate to make you their feast. Underneath the crashing waves lies a mystery that will never leave its grave. Those who dared had never feared until they lost their air. Those who come near and hear of their lore will sneer and leer. It’s all fun and games until they disappear.
Beware of the night. Beware of the blue. For in the deep dark blue lies a nightmare unknown. You never know what lurks in the dark.

"You would bring a sword to a gun fight, and after all these years that's worked?"
"Well," Joe looks up at Nicky across from the breakfast table, a glint in his eyes because he knew exactly what Joe was thinking about, "It didn't work one time. But everything turned out fine."
