“We’ll just commit to the buddy system,” Nile says.
“Buddy system?” Booker asks, eyebrows raised.
OR: Nile goes clubbing, gets lost in Ireland, learns to swing dance, dies in Portugal, and falls in love. Mostly in that order.

Summary
There was the sound of a door opening and Andy heard several gasps echo in the room. She pulled away from the embrace she had longed for, for so long, and took a step towards the door and felt her heart drop. Right there, on the ground, was Booker. His hair was long and his clothes stained in blood and dirt but what stood out the most was the metal collar around his neck which had him chained to the wall.
“Please.” his voice was raspy, as if he’d been screaming, or not have spoken at all for too long.

Tethered: A Nicky and Joe Origin Story by soothe_the_beast
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020), The Old Guard (Comics)
10 Oct 2020

Summary
Yusuf and Nicolò: enemies to allies, allies to friends, friends to soulmates, to all and more.
This is an origin story of Joe and Nicky from their first encounter (first kill) to the events that brought them together and the events that led them to love. Lots of philosophical discussions, mutual pining, and angst. Not to give too much away, but this story accounts for their childhoods, what led them to the crusades, thoughts on sexuality, Nicky's origins as a sniper, Joe's history with his necklace, and meeting Andy and Quynh, among other things.

let not time deceive you (you cannot conquer time) by Draco_sollicitus

Summary
Nicolo Genova, or Nicky to his American friends, is just trying to get through his PhD program. He's writing his dissertation on Post-classical homoerotic poetry, but he cannot find anyone who speaks an extinct dialect of Arabic so he can translate a famed love poem by a little known poet, al-Kaysani.
Strangely enough, his friend knows a professor on campus who can translate the poem. What starts as a simple request for assistance on his dissertation blossoms into something that Nicky -- shy, reserved Nicky who abandoned his plans for the priesthood months before ordination -- had never imagined for himself: true love.
What he doesn't know is that Dr. Joseph Jones (his handsome, erudite, kind, lovely Joe) is harboring a secret too large for anyone to believe -- and that secret might just cost them everything.

Summary
“You’re talking about 200 years of history, Nile,” says Copley when she calls. “Do you really think you can fix that in six months?”
“First off,” replies Nile, “I am not fixing anything. I’m not a damn therapist. This mess needs to be fixed because I don’t get an out. There’s not a world where I just fuck off to do my own thing. I could argue for a few years with my family, but well, Booker tried that and look where that’s got us.”
“So you think this break will help?”
Nile shrugs before remembering that Copley can’t see her. “Help or hurt, we aren’t working right now. Not as a team or a family. It’s one thing to realize that they missed a lot of what’s been going on with Booker, with what he’s been suffering from. It’s another to assume that knowing the past, changes the present. He still betrayed them. It’s messy. That’s the bottom line.”
Or the story of found family coming together through accountability, forgiveness, a lot of therapy, and maybe a miracle or two.

Summary
Nile thought she had all of the puzzle pieces, ones she'd collected and ones her teammates had filled in, and she was ready to see the full picture. But as she watches Nicky advance on the man like a predator waiting to strike, she realizes that she'd been looking at the picture all wrong. She'd imagined many different ways Nicky's powers would manifest themselves in combat, but not this...
Never this.
(or: four times Nile got glimpses of Nicky's ability and one time she saw it in full force)

Summary
Joe’s need to be physically affectionate with everyone he cared for was a source of endless confusion and frustration for Nicky. What was he supposed to think of the soft touches the man bestowed upon him or his sweet words when he did the same to everyone else.
Nicky was a complete enigma to Joe. He couldn’t have made his crush on the older man more clear from the first day they had met and somehow they still had not moved beyond this odd dance around each other, Joe still trying to sort out is the stoic Italian even returned his feelings.
Meanwhile Andy just needs them to screw already so she doesn’t lose that bet she made with Booker.

Summary
Nicolo has a growing list of Things That No Longer Make Sense. They go as follows:
1) He can no longer die. Which, in itself, is pretty strange.
2) The man he killed multiple times is somehow, impossibly, like him.
3) He may or may not be having a crisis of faith.
4) His former enemy is treating him like a friend. Even defending him, the man that can't die.
5) And, most confusing of all, why does he like it when Yusuf smiles at him like THAT?- Language:
