Summary
The first time they saw each other was in the winter of 1097, in what we would now call Turkey. Now, this wasn’t when they met, it wasn’t quite time for that yet, but it was the first time they interacted, when they fought each other outside of Antioch.
The first time they met was also the first time they died, which was months after the first time they saw each other.

Summary
“We are for each other,” Yusuf decides early on. “It could have only happened if it had been meant to be.”
“Destiny,” Nicolò says, realizing in the moment after he said it that his attempt at jest sounds too much like a true answer.There is something more, he thinks as he tries to fall asleep. Would you still find me and our immortality miraculous if I told you? If I showed you, would you instead think me monstrous?

Summary
In which Joe and Nicky, known back then as Yusuf and Nicoló, meet and kill each other for the first (and certainly not the last) time. It's XI AD and things are about to get real wild for two immortals, each fighting for his own cause. But when the faces of their night terrors meet them on the battlefield, the two soldiers realize that matters are way more complicated then they appear to be.
NB: This is my first attempt at writing fanfiction, especially one so religiously nuanced and rich in historical facts. I'll try my best to stay true to the facts and to represent the conflict of the First Crusade accurately, but any corrections and input are welcome and appreciated! As of right now, I'm unsure exactly how many chapters this will be, but I don't plan on stretching it out too much.
