    Summary

    Oh,” Yusuf says.

    “What is it?” Nico asks. “Do I displease you, should I—“

    “No,” Yusuf says hastily. “Never. It’s just—“ he reaches out to run his finger along the fold of skin hiding the pink head of Nico’s erection. “I haven’t seen this before.”

    Summary

    The famous Italian short story 'La Realtà di Tutto' is the tragic tale of two men who fall in love in the rolling hills of Calabria and are then separated by forces beyond their control. Nicolo di Genova- one of the few openly gay actors in cinema - has spent years trying to adapt it into a film, and he has assembled the best in the business to help him shepherd the film to success. There's only one thing missing just weeks from day one of shooting: the other leading man.

    When Joseph Al-Kaysani - a moderately successful comedian - is cast in what Variety calls, 'the most hotly anticipated film on Netflix's docket,' and what industry insiders call, 'that gay mafia movie,' it's a complete surprise. Joseph is best known for his unflinchingly honest storytelling style, but there's one thing he's never shared with his audience or his family - he is gay.

    But Joe isn't the only one with secrets.

    Summary

    Booker meets Nile while she is still mortal. It changes things.

    Alternately:

    [“Dude, you gotta help me out here,” she said again, “are you…en vie?”

    The question made him laugh, which was a terrible idea. He breathed through the sudden roil of nausea and finally looked at the very determined Good Samaritan who had resolved not to leave him in peace.

    “I am not dead,” Booker informed her gravely, “not yet.”]

    Summary

    Nile checked her gun. "How long does it take to get used to all the blood and guts?"

    Booker laughed. "You ever seen Joe or Nicky when the other one's leaking badly?"

    "So, forever."

    "I can only say that I'm not used to it yet." He looked down at himself. "But if it's mine, it's not as bad."

    "Is that why you jumped on the grenade?"

    "I don't know. I saw it, I went for it. If I weren't immortal I would be dead many times over. I'm not a fancy fighter." He took a peek and got grazed on the side of his head. "Ow. Fuck. How are you handling the transition?"

    "It's weird," she said truthfully. "Everyone's a million years older than me."

    "Yeah," he said with a horribly insincere grin as blood trickled down the side of his face. "And they'll never really get it. Quynh was a hundred by the time Andy found her. Joe and Nicky died together. And then there's us."

     

    Everyone else is very old and paired off, so Nile decides her cohort needs to unionize. Any good union comes with benefits, even it takes you both ten years to be ready for all of them.

    Summary

    “We’ll just commit to the buddy system,” Nile says.

    “Buddy system?” Booker asks, eyebrows raised.

     

    OR: Nile goes clubbing, gets lost in Ireland, learns to swing dance, dies in Portugal, and falls in love. Mostly in that order.
