Nicky saying Erik is his husband "Or will be, eventually" is one of my favorite lines in TFC because there are two years between gay marriage becoming legal in Germany and Nicky returning to the States. What's stopping you bestie

V, JoeNicky & Nile

V. An abandoned or empty place.

When Joe pulls the sheet off the couch it kicks up enough dust that it makes Nile sneeze. The couch underneath is old, wooden frame rotting, fabric stained and full of holes where moths have eaten away at it. 

“Sorry,” Joe says to Nile when she finally manages to get the sneezing under control. “Didn’t realise it was that bad.” He puts his hands on his hips and looks down at the couch. Nile looks it over.

“There’s no saving that,” she says, wiping at her eyes. She can heal from falling over ten stories, but she can’t get away from allergies.

Joe frowns. “I liked that couch.”

The house is older than anywhere else they’ve brought her, and has been abandoned for long enough that it’s falling apart. But through some trick of posing as their own sons, or something, Joe and Nicky still own it, even if there’s a giant hole in the roof and all the windows are broken. Why they’d decided to come back here, Nile doesn’t know, but it’s a nice enough area, and a good distraction from, well. Everything. Growing back a leg, she’s discovered, is not fun. 

From one of the other rooms – she thinks it’s the kitchen, she’s not actually sure where Nicky had wandered to – there’s the sound of something breaking and crashing to the ground, and a muffled curse. 

Joe makes a questioning noise in the vague direction of the kitchen. A few moments later, Nicky appears in the doorway, covered in dust. “I am okay,” he says. “But I think we will need to go out to eat tonight.”

“Nothing?” 

Nicky shakes his head. “Unless you want to start a fire and go hunt some rabbits.”

Joe grins. “Just like old times, right?”

Nile shakes her head firmly, which makes Nicky smile. She loves them, but there’s no way they’re doing that. 

“We can probably clear out enough space in here,” Joe says, gesturing to the floor. “Get the sleeping bags out of the car. Probably have to start a fire anyway, but…”

Nile looks around again while Joe says something to Nicky in Arabic that makes him laugh. The house is falling apart, sure, but it’s structurally stable, and the bones are all there. It could be something. They’ve got time to make it something. 

Nicky is the one who goes for pizza in the end – he doesn’t trust Nile and Joe to order it if left to their own devices – while they try to clear out a space in the living room. Eventually, though, after Nile has another sneezing fit, Joe suggests they just take the sleeping bags outside instead, which works out a lot better. He sets about starting a fire with practiced ease while Nile sets out the sleeping bags around it. They’re far enough away from civilisation that she can’t hear cars passing by, which is kind of surreal, and the stars are brighter than she’s ever seen them. 

When Nicky gets back, two boxes balanced on one arm and a bottle of wine in the other, he looks over their makeshift camp and laughs. “Just like old times, then?” he asks.

Joe grins. “Except we have pizza.”

“And actual sleeping bags,” Nile says.

“Ah, these modern inventions could never quite match the comfort of a pile of furs,” Joe says wistfully. Nile gives him a look. She’s ninety percent sure that one’s bullshit, but she can never quite tell with him. 

Nicky sets down the pizza boxes, and jogs back to the car to grab the pack of plastic wine glasses they’d bought before they got here. 

“We should’ve bought marshmallows,” Nile says. “Could have made s’mores.”

“Well, we’ll have to go to the hardware store tomorrow anyway,” Joe points out. “And I think it’ll be a little while before we can actually sleep in there.”

“Tomorrow, then?”

“Tomorrow,” Nicky agrees.

thinking about the twinyards first summer in South Carolina and how they both talk big game bc it gets plenty hot in California too, and Nicky nods along and buys extra ice cream and fans anyway. the twins refuse to go back on their word but Nicky watches them both make sure to always sit where the fan will hit them, he watches how fast the ice cream is depleted as they tear through it twice as fast as normal. he makes sure to be discreet as he drops water bottles next to them frequently because he knew they would underestimate exactly how hard the humidity would hit them and he knows their prides won't let them ask for it.

Opening the floor to ideas for Lovesong Week prompts‼️because I’m struggling on ideas. I want it to be at least 2 per day so it’s not restrictive but I don’t even have enough written down to do that yet. Really do want to make this happen but I need help for this one part.

Ummmm...

So Terry used to one of the most outspoken against willy when the kiddads just hung out. But scary was the fav and he felt he had to be on willys good side to get scary to see him as a father or not push him away, so he had to add very like, "oh anything for you, Mr willy", and shit and he hated it obvi.

The others hated it too and also resented Terry since this was coming back to hurt their kids bcuz half of the things willy wanted was destruction for all that were not liked by him.

Nicky is hissy because Terry used to be like oh you can sue for discrimination and win and now he's acting like a servant.

Before Nicky can do more than open his mouth, Andrew says, “I’m abstaining from violence.” Nicky closes his mouth and looks at him. Andrew smiles, almost as guileless as when he’d been on his meds, and spreads his hands. “Joan of Exy’s convinced me.” Aaron snorts. That seems to wake Kevin up, and gets him back on track. “Andrew’s not involved,” he tells Nicky impatiently. “Between Aaron and Neil.” “Why are Aaron and Neil fighting?” Nicky wants to know. “They’re not,” Kevin says at the same time that Neil says, “He’s jealous of my superior relationship,” and Aaron says, “Have you met him?”

give it up for CHAPTER 2!!!!! in which things get even more confusing for poor joe but at least he gets to talk to someone (nicky)

Rating: Teen

Summary:

“We lived near the sea,” Nicky says, and there is a note of longing in his voice Joe hasn’t heard before. Of course he must miss home; who wouldn’t? “My father used to work at the docks. He would take me out in the boat sometimes. I learned to sail with him.”

Joe imagines it for a moment, a little wooden boat with nothing but vast blue ocean around it, white sails stretching into the sky like the wings of a bird.

“It sounds beautiful,” he says.
