Nicky/Joe not immortal AU, historical love

[(Anonymous)]

Yusuf and Nicolò never killed each other, instead they became star-crossed lovers, eloped and spent the rest of their days living together like a married couple somewhere where their relationship was accepted. They even took in orphans and raised them like their own.

Through centuries, their love was an inspiration to artists: Shakespeare mentioned them in his plays, Renaissance artists painted them, they had poems written about them. There was of course a drive to discredit and disparage their love and relationship, paint them as nothing more than really good friends or even claim that one was a woman in disguise. They claimed that no way a Christian and a Muslim would have had this sort of relationship, unless one had converted the other. No way the people around them would let them live in peace.

But the evidence of their love was so overwhelming - letters in which Nicolò would refer to Yusuf as his husband, love poetry written by Yusuf, witnesses accounts, things written and passed on by their children and grandchildren - to the point that no one could possibly deny it now.

Basically, I’m looking for a fic with a modern take on them, be it via museum exhibition, people discussing this new film being made about them, historians arguing about some detail etc
