Summary
When the prince had been particularly cruel to him, he called for the fairies' help. "Say the right words" they whispered in his ear "and you’ll be free". But the knight knew that the Fairy King would keep the young man in his castle for eternity, and turn him into a shell of himself.
And so the brave knight suffered in silence. Until one evening, when he was tired from a day of battling and hurt by the harsh words of his half-brother, and he could no longer stand it...
It's the summer of 1983. A total solar eclipse is about to cover Cape Verde, and four immortal warriors extend what was supposed to be a brief vacation to watch it; a very much innocuous activity that in no way could result in someone sending his brother to the
shadowrealmfairy kingdom. -

Summary
“We cannot let anyone see us die. We cannot let them see us heal. We must get out of this city, away from them. If they catch you, they will kill you. If they see what you are…it will go as badly for you as it would for me. Neither of us is safe with them, you understand? You need me to help you get past them, away from this place. I need you to help me out there, in the desert, until we reach a port. Do you understand? We are the same. We must get out.”
He stopped; he was not sure how to make himself any clearer, and the Saracen was not evidently interested in conveying anything other than his loathing. Nicolò waited, and after a long, uncomfortable moment, the Saracen finally responded. He spat an incomprehensible sentence in Arabic, heavy with disdain, and thrust his bound hands forward. A demand to be released? That would make sense. Nicolò hesitated.
“Do you understand me?” he pressed, repeating his gestures. “We are the same. We go together? Away from here? Both of us?”
The Saracen repeated also; his Arabic phrase, and the twisting of his wrists against their bindings. Nicolò nodded, and crouched before him.“I am going to free you,” he said. “Please help me.”

Summary
The house is achingly quiet once the two older men retreat to the back room—only the soft whistling of wind outside and the rattling of the window panes to fill the silence—and Andromache turns her full attention to the man in front of her. "I'm going to help you get undressed," she murmurs, easing the blanket off his shoulders. "And then I'll help you clean up." Andromache offers the man a gentle smile. "But before I do that, it would really help if you could tell me your name."
The man blinks, eyes going glassy, and a shuddering exhale spills from his mouth. "Sé…Sébastien…" he croaks, voice dry and cracking from disuse.
A breath of relief rushes into Andromache's lungs and her smile widens. "It's good to finally meet you, Sébastien."
When they finally track down the newest immortal, Andromache finds that getting him back from the darkness might be harder than she thought.

Summary
Joe is a simple man: he has good friends, knows a lot of trivia and is not afraid to use them, he's a romantic at heart but knows love at first sight isn't a thing.
Then he meets Nicky, because destiny (or love?) has a wicked sense of humour.
(It's a good thing Nicky is just as much a dumbass romantic trivia expert as Joe is.)

Summary
“I was just wondering,” Nicky asks the clerk, “are you sure you don’t have any others of this kind?” His accent is stronger, when he’s nervous—which is anytime he talks to strangers, really—and he winces a little, but the clerk doesn’t seem to notice.
“No, just that one,” the clerk says absently, eyeing the clock over the checkout counter with something that looks like longing. “Feel free to try it out, and if you like it we can order a different size for you.”
And he really wants to try it out, is the thing, because the articles he’s read say you should test a mattress for at least 15 minutes before committing. But there’s already a customer on this bed—a man, effortlessly beautiful in a way Nicky could never dream of being, with the softest black curls Nicky has ever seen, and a beard Nicky wants to feel against the inside of his thighs. And isn’t that an image to have in his head, right as the man opens his eyes to see Nicky standing awkwardly by the side of the bed.

Summary
“Today I met a boy who escaped al-Quds,” Yusuf says, and Nicolò stares back at him this time. His clean face is solemn, his pale eyes almost sad, and Yusuf wishes he could see some anger in them. Anything but this. “They killed his whole family.”
“When you say them,” Nicolò blinks, and there is a twitch in his strong jaw. “You mean me. My people.”
Yusuf feels he has been running his whole life.
He ran from his duties as the family’s heir when he refused to marry the woman chosen by his parents. Yusuf eventually made a new home in Jerusalem, and he thought he was done running. Then the Franks laid their siege and Yusuf was killed and brought back to life too many times. Before he realised, he was on the run again. Only this time, he is not alone.
Or; a road trip around the Mediterranean in which Yusuf struggles with his new life, searches for the women in his dreams and learns how to open his heart. Also, there is only one bed.
