Summary
Notorious confidence schemer and thief Kylo Ren, after spending five years in prison, is granted parole under two conditions: don't leave the state, and don't contact anyone from your old life. So of course he immediately heads to Las Vegas to conduct the greatest heist he's ever pulled: stealing $650 million from three casinos. However, his business partner and best friend, Phasma, wonders one thing: is he in it for the money, or to win back his ex-husband Hux - whose new flame just so happens to be the owner of said casinos? Or: an Ocean's 11 Kylux AU.

Summary
Kylo suddenly wants it so much, to be trusted, to be perceived as someone reliable, as someone safe. He wants to envelop Hux and be allowed into the tiny cracks in his consciousness— He wants Hux to let him put him back together, he wants Hux to let him close.
Hux is breathing violently now, hyperventilating, and Kylo is fucking dizzy with confusion and panic and the need to just help—
He takes the scarf off his neck, repressing the surge of guilt, and walks up to Hux’s naked body. He tries not to stare, not to linger; it’s quite impossible. Who knew Hux had freckles on his shoulders?

Summary
‘ “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.

Summary
When Joe dies for the first time, he is suddenly removed from his unsatisfactory life--from his disappointed family and his financial struggles--and accepted into a small group of people who say they are his family, and they will accept him as he is.
He comes to love them. One in particular. But Nicky says he doesn't love him back.
Maybe it isn't that simple.

Summary
Joe and Nicky have been protecting each other for a millennia. Mainly from the outside world. Sometimes from themselves.
Most people learn this the hard way.

Summary
“We cannot let anyone see us die. We cannot let them see us heal. We must get out of this city, away from them. If they catch you, they will kill you. If they see what you are…it will go as badly for you as it would for me. Neither of us is safe with them, you understand? You need me to help you get past them, away from this place. I need you to help me out there, in the desert, until we reach a port. Do you understand? We are the same. We must get out.”
He stopped; he was not sure how to make himself any clearer, and the Saracen was not evidently interested in conveying anything other than his loathing. Nicolò waited, and after a long, uncomfortable moment, the Saracen finally responded. He spat an incomprehensible sentence in Arabic, heavy with disdain, and thrust his bound hands forward. A demand to be released? That would make sense. Nicolò hesitated.
“Do you understand me?” he pressed, repeating his gestures. “We are the same. We go together? Away from here? Both of us?”
The Saracen repeated also; his Arabic phrase, and the twisting of his wrists against their bindings. Nicolò nodded, and crouched before him.“I am going to free you,” he said. “Please help me.”
