Summary
"We worked as caravan guards before we came to Baghdad," Nicolò said, which was true enough, as far as it went. His hand rested easily on the pommel of his sword and he was smiling, a faint and casual enjoyment of his own assurance, and Yusuf loved him desperately.
"Just like old times," Yusuf agreed, and tossed his bag over to the handlers on the barge.
Nicolò looked over at him, his face suddenly, awfully, blank, and that was the end of that.
In the wake of the Frankish conquest of Tyre, Joe and Nicky leave their settled home in Baghdad in order to help a friend. Naturally, things escalate from there.

A Friend Indeed by elsane
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

Summary
"Well, I see you are having a good day," Maitimo said, laughing at him. "I was going to say, hello, how good to see you, but so much for the niceties. Do tell me: what is the matter?"
"I have resolved," Findekáno said, "never to court a Vanya." There was more that went with this declaration; the next bit went on to beseech Maitimo in the name of true friendship not to let Findekáno forget, but that was to follow after the interested lift of Maitimo's eyebrows, and Maitimo was instead grave and silent, his book forgotten in his hands.
(or: some friendly conversation, set before Fingon gets a Clue (TM). Absolutely no clues are gotten in this fic.)
