Having rapidly consumed Marwan and Luca's films, modern AU with single father Joe and recently broken up Nicky finding love with one another (as well as healing...) Joe has Daan's background while Nicky has Paolo's background in their respective movies but feel free to change up some things to better suit their characters i.e. Joe being an art professor rather than a Deli owner.
Paulo's ending was bittersweet so my shipper mind automatically went to JoeNicky fix...
+ some language barrier, English is typically the Lingua Franca now, so Joe speaking it quite well but Nicky's English not being good. ++ Nicky thinking he's only pining because Joe looks like his ex of 8 years and so is reluctant to pursue this relationship +++ cute moments with them and Joe's daughter, which helps Nicky learn what family is, etc. But also daughter (name is up to you) trying to play cupid for them to get together.
