nicky has a ~sexy~ alter ego named lorenzo for missions where he has to flirt with somebody to get information or whatever, and the first time he has to put on that persona around nile he’s obviously furious about it even as he’s pulling on skinny jeans and a tight t-shirt and styling his hair while joe sits cross-legged on the bed and stares at him starry-eyed, and nile’s like “what’s up” and andy’s like “oh nicky hates lorenzo” and nile’s like “…why” and andy’s like “because joe has a crush on him”

When joe and nicky finally lose their immortality (peacefully, and at the same time, thank you very much) they seriously consider having children. Both of them have always loved being around children but their lifestyles have never allowed for settling down with a kid, nor could they bear the thought of raising a child only to eventually have that child grow old and die before them. Now seems like the perfect chance, except. Well, they would either have to eventually tell the child they are thousands and thousands of years old, and how would that affect the kid, or they would have to lie to the child about most of their lives and they don’t want to do that either.

Instead, they decide to open up an orphanage which is also a haven for runaways and homeless children. They’re very actively involved with the kids though they do have some staff they’ve hired to help also. This way they can still help put good into the universe and make a difference in the world. They can raise children and see them grow older and find their ways without either saddling them with the most intense strange parents in the world or lying about their identities to their own child. It’s not always easy but they love doing it, and both the children and the staff adore them. The two men who run the orphanage are wonderful but they’re also hypercompetent and strange and have so many bizarre stories that could not have possibly happened and nobody knows how many of them are real and how many are not. There is also a legend about a few people who sometimes come to visit the founders and are always met with incredibly warm welcomes, but they never seem to get older. If you ask either of the founders about this you either get a grin so big it crinkles the man’s eyes and a quick subject change or you get a tiny smile and a line so cryptic you’re left thinking about it for days afterwards. They and happy and their lives are filled with love.

I’m just casually editing and it hit me. HOW has it taken me this long to realise that these two are pretty much wearing the same colours but in reverse??? Grey T-shirt and blue jeans for Nicky, blue shirt and grey jeans for Joe!! (I know they’re probably meant to black jeans and they’re just dusty but COME ON!)

Immortal husbands are really out here colour coordinating their kidnapping outfits. KINGS! Stunning!

That is all, thanks for coming.
