Fics like The Gift of Guilt

‘ “Nicky and I met during the crusades,” Joe started, “and when we did, we killed each other - many times,” he echoed the words she’d first heard spoken by Nicky. With his gentle, lilting tone, she was reminded of her father reading fairytales to her and almost expected a ‘once upon a time’ to pass through his lips, “For seven days and seven nights we crossed blades. By day seven our swords were essentially useless - we were grappling and trying to kill one another with our barehands when-,” his eyes met hers briefly then darted away, “-when my hands found a rock hidden just beneath the sand.” ‘ — Joe should have known it was too good to be true when Nicky sprang up so quickly after Keane put his gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. They’d never been that lucky before.
