Summary
When your time is up, there is no better way to use what is left of it than to do the things you always wanted to do before it is too late, especially with the people you love. Joe and Nicky discover something about their future after a mission goes slightly wrong. Confessions and proposals are exchanged. Happy and fluffy moments ensue.
This story takes place one year after the events at Merrick Pharmaceuticals, however Quynh hasn’t showed up yet and Booker is still in exile. Andy isn’t mortal, too. Everything else is movie canon compliant.

Summary
On Tuesday, Lykon arrives only a few minutes early, having stopped for Starbucks on the way to work. Nicky had gone in early again to craft with Nile, so in theory, there should be coffee ready. Lykon also knows that Booker is petty enough to sacrifice sleep for retribution and isn’t taking any chances.
Or: the holiday season brings about a prank war and a white elephant gift exchange.

Summary
Joe is sprawled out on their bed, still fast asleep. It’s dark in these early hours of the morning, but his body is washed in the warm glow of the lights Nile strung up on their window earlier.
Joe and Nicky spend the early hours of Christmas morning in bed; bathed in light, and in love for each other.

Let It Snow by paperstorm for vixy

Summary
They've spent most of their lives, when it's all added up, on the Mediterranean. Joe is very accustomed to warm air and humid breezes and the beat of the sun on his shoulders. It’s precisely because of this, he thinks, that he is utterly fascinated by snow. And it’s also precisely because of this, he knows, that Nicky utterly despises the cold.
So he’s surprised, when Nicky comes to him in early December with a determined – if not just a little bit prickly – smile on his face and tells Joe, “I am taking you to Banff.”

Summary
Yusuf "Joe" Al-Kaysani didn't expect to get into a car accident a week before the biggest career-making art exhibition of his life. It might be worth it though if he can get his cute nurse to go on a date with him.

always fall (a little short in front of you) by liadan14 for badwolfbadwolf
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
26 Dec 2020

Summary
Booker stumbles into the kitchen at five forty-five. There are many things he likes about the modern era. The internet. Vaccines. Indoor plumbing. Jetlag still gets him every fucking time, though.
He’s almost convinced he’s still dreaming when Nicky walks in. More specifically, he’s almost entirely certain he’s having an incredibly embarrassing fully-fledged wet dream when Nicky walks in, wearing nothing but an unbuttoned shirt that almost certainly belongs to Joe and a pair of lacy, sea-green women’s panties.

Summary
Andy settles in the chair next to her. “Does this have anything to do with why Nicky was begging Joe to smother him a few minutes ago?”
Nile looks at her, eyes widening. “Nicky was doing what?”
“He was trying to get Joe to suffocate him with a Christmas pillow,” Andy says with a slight shrug. Nile feels like Andy should be alarmed, rather than amused like she sounds. “I walked in on them wrestling on the floor and noped out pretty fast.”
OR
Nicky tries to make Nile feel more at home by trying some new recipes. It doesn't exactly go as planned.

Summary
He looks to it and then over to the small birdbath he had returned from town with. The stone is worn, like it came out of someone's yard and Joe spares a brief, amusing thought of Nicky stealing from someone's Nonna.

Summary
The plan had been always been to go on a road trip with her friends after she returned from Afghanistan. And when Andy, Nicky and Joe refuse to step foot in America, grabbing Booker to go with her instead was obviously the best alternative. Now, if only everything else could go as smoothly.
Or, Nile wants to go on a road trip with her sad french man, but instead she gets a broken down car in the middle of the desert. Great.

Summary
Nicky had not felt that particular flavor of guilt himself in many centuries, nor ever would again, but he recognized it like a blade to the heart. "Oh, Joe," he said softly. "They're all like us."
Nicky, Joe, and a very crowded ferry on what should have been an unremarkable evening in April 1895.

Summary
The stories say there is a ship that sails on the furthest edges of space. It's said to have left Earth with the first settlers, those intrepid and brave explorers hoping to build a new home amongst the distant stars.
They say the ship has a crew of just five; old warriors who know their swords from their blasters, and can wield both just as well to protect those lost in the dark.
A ghost ship in every way, they’ve put their souls into it and their very spirits are entwined in the wiring.
If you’ve made a name for yourself off broken backs, if you leave ruined ships floating in space and jettison bodies into the icy black, well, those same stories warn that you should fear crossing their path.
After all, how can you outrun a ghost ship? The answer’s simple: you can’t.
With all the time in the universe, it’ll run you down. There’s no corner, chartered or uncharted, for you to hide in. And if you’re looking to test yourself against them, to trap them, to see what a ghost crew really looks like...here's some advice, don’t.
