Summary
When days are infinite, days blend.
Andy wakes up with an ache that seems out of the ordinary, her neck a little more pained than it was yesterday. She’s grateful she’s an early riser, because if Nicky was awake, he’d chastise her for falling asleep in the chair and Nile would go on about the benefits of a good mattress, and Joe would agree with anything Nicky said simply because he could. Andy found herself looking to the left often out of muscle memory when she found Joe and Nicky too much to bear, but Booker wasn’t there.
He wasn’t there.
***
The aftermath of Booker’s betrayal weighs heavy on everyone’s hearts in ways that they didn’t expect. The group thought it would make them feel safer to have the final ruling, but all they do is feel the emptiness of the chair around the table. Except when Quyhn returns and it’s revealed that Dr. Kozak made it out of Merrick, Inc., they know there’s no time to dwell in their pain. Instead, the group looks forward to stay together, and perhaps find a piece that has been missing.

Summary
When a mission goes wrong, the Old Guard team discovers to their consternation that Nicky has forgotten his entire life back to his first death. Which is especially unfortunate because, at the time of Nicky’s first death, he was a murderous Crusader hell-bent on killing Joe.
Now, stuck in their safe house with a furious religious fanatic who believes the Siege of Jerusalem was that morning and he’s been kidnapped by his enemies, Andy, Booker, and Joe struggle to figure out how to restore Nicky’s memories, while Joe faces the prospect of a future where he never does.
(Rating changed from T to E as of Ch. 12, however, there are notes so the chapter can be skipped to maintain a T rating if the reader so chooses.)

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
All of this scared me. Yusuf scared me. He scared me with his easy repudiation of my beliefs, his laughter, the way he looked at me, the things he made me think. My belief in God scared me too, standing as it did on shaking legs. I had suffered for Him and suffering should have proven my love, but it never made anything better. But who was I, if I was not a God-fearing man? What would I become?
If you will not die, why continue to suffer?
I stopped walking and sat in the grass, looking out at the mountains as the moon and clouds cast dark shadows upon them. Beautiful and unknowable, like…
“Like God,“ I muttered to myself. But of course I really meant, like Yusuf.

Summary
Booker’s gaze is hollow, but he stares steadily back at Joe. “You have no idea,” he says again. “You said you would walk through fire for Nicky? I would have done that a thousand times for my children, before I ever knew that I would survive it.” He takes a step closer, and Joe instinctively readies himself at the look in his eyes.
“Imagine,” Booker says, his voice low. “Just for a moment, that Nicky is dying.”
Joe punches him right in the face.
