Fics like Oldest Men on Earth

“She was his slave. He bought her and released her from the service,” Yusuf says. “I’m not sure how to feel about that.” “They seem very happy now,” Nicolo says. “Who are we to say what is or is not a good start?” “Good point.” “What would you do if you were him and I were her?” Yusuf turns to him, mouth agape. “Indulge me, ya shamsi ?” He smiles. “Spin me a story?” Wallahi, Nicolò doesn’t often call him such, but when he does, like the exceptional marksman he is, it’s always fatal for Yusuf. “What would a merchant of Maghreb do to this pale slave from Genoa, prisoner of war, an invader?” Yusuf slings his arm around Nicolò, pressing him into his side, as if it can shield Nicolò from the yawning pit of guilt he sometimes likes to wallow in. It’s a futile effort, all he can do is wade in and hold Nicolò, keeping him afloat instead of drowning. “I would notice his strange eyes and his awfully big nose.Then I would haggle with the fiend who captured you. I’d swindle you off his chains.” _ Or in which the (soon-to-be) oldest men on earth ponder and celebrate.
