I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a sucker for exes realizing they still have feelings for each other and getting back together, so....
Back in the 1100s, Nicky and Joe basically go straight from enemies to husbands, because they realise they’re intensely attracted to each other and one or both of them doesn’t want to have sex outside of marriage. (Since it’s the 12th century, “marriage” can either be them making vows privately to each other, or a lovely AU with no homophobia in the Middle Ages so they can get legally married).
Problem is, it was really way too soon to get past all their issues, Nicky’s still carrying around a metric ton of guilt, and they just don’t know each other well enough, and they amicably break up after a few years.
It’s fine, really. They can definitely just be friends and travel companions on their way to go find those women they keep dreaming about. They definitely don’t still feel a sharp pang of lust when they look at each other and remember what it felt like to cuddle together at night. They definitely aren’t finally falling truly in love, not now, not now that they’ve agreed that their marriage was hopeless.
TLDR 10-15 years of mutually pining exes and then they get remarried for good this time ❤️
