This is lovely and I'mxalways delighted when I check back and see an update. That said, I'm going to be nitpicky about the food.
Please feel free to ignore this if you're not super concerned about historical a accuracy regarding food. But you mentioned being unsure about it and wanting to fix any mistskes for the AO3 version, so I hope this comes across as helpful and not unwelcome.
Tomatoes are native to Central and South America, and seem to have been introduced to Europe sometime after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan in 1521. I'm not entirely sure when this fic is set, but I assume 12th-13th century? If so, they wouldn't have access to tomatoes yet. My first thought was to suggest having them chop onions instead, but idk if you'd want to have to write in the usual side effects of chopping onions. That said, it does give Nicky the opportunity to blame the onions for any unduly sad or pained facial expressions.
