Summary
It is no more filthy or grim than others they have been held in over the centuries, but this cell feels different. Chains are thicker now, walls are stronger. There are more guns, they fire faster if not more accurately. And the crushing weight of the ocean hangs over their heads. Yusuf closes his eyes, tries to calm himself with the sound of Nicolo breathing, the feel of his bony ankle against his own calf. Nicolo still doesn’t speak, but after a time he begins to hum - calm, soothing things he knows Yusuf likes.
Or,
They've been inseparable for centuries but never quite managed to say they're in love.

Summary
Over the next few months, Joe runs into Nicky every so often at the farmer’s market. Some weekends Nicky doesn’t make it, because of his work schedule - Joe doesn’t understand it because he doesn’t ask, though he does start to recognize when one of those missing weekends is coming up because Nicky will stock up on things with longer shelf-life. When they do run into each other, they make small talk and move through the stalls together.
Joe doesn’t mention it to Lykon when he stops by, because it is kind of weird, that Lykon’s ex-boyfriend texts Joe things like - If you’re here, the apples look particularly good this week and thank you for that recipe, I did not know what I was going to do with that much couscous
Or,
Joe wouldn't usually consider starting anything with his best friend's ex, but as long as they keep it casual, it shouldn't be weird... right?

Five Times Joe Kissed Nicky (And One Time Nicky Kissed Him First) by sheafrotherdon
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
26 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
Joe takes the last watch, sitting by the fire, eyes trained on the stars as he listens for intrusion. None comes. He is left in peace to reacquaint himself with Al-Dubb Ak-Bar, Al-Hamal, Ad-Dulfin, and to think of their names in other tongues—The Plough, Aries, Delphinius. As they stretch over and above him, shifting as though some great wind blows them to a new course across the sky, he smiles and thinks of Malta. Such stars that night.

Summary
An audio performance of sheafrotherdon's story (5 min.)
Yusuf has traveled through deserts enough to know the blistering discomfort of thirst. It’s some echo of that feeling now that haunts him—he is parched for his beloved, needs to see him as fiercely as in other times he has needed water.

In which Nicky joins a queer football club, makes some new friends, and offers to help Joe piss off his ex by pretending to be his new boyfriend. This is a very reasonable scheme that will definitely not lead to any feelings whatsoever.

Summary
“It’s because of my nephew,” Nicky started. His new friend raised an eyebrow, gesturing for him to go on. “I was babysitting last week, and my sister gave me one job: to get him to eat the stewed broccoli she’d left. He’s still not got the hang of talking just yet, but he said he didn’t like broccoli. I asked if he’d tried it, and he said no, and I asked how he could be sure if he’d never tried.”
“Ah,” the man said, grinning. “Let me guess: You realized you’ve never tried sex with a man, so how could you be sure you’re really straight?”
“It seemed a rather blatant hypocrisy,” Nicky confessed.

Summary
‘So, you’re Nicky, I take it? I’m Joe.’
‘Sorry, I don’t speak English,’ Nicky says. It’s about the only sentence he knows in English, a dubious badge of honour he nevertheless wears with pride. Or rather, he did until about five minutes ago, when Andy said there was someone she wanted him to meet. In English.
--
Modern AU with language barriers: Joe speaks Dutch, English, and Arabic; Nicky speaks Italian, Spanish, and German. Andy didn't know that when she introduced them, but it doesn't really matter.As the poets say, love finds a way.

Summary
The man shakes his head, but then he puts a hand on his chest. “Knee-key,” he says.
“Knee key?” Joe blinks, baffled.
“Knee-key,” the man repeats.
Something clicks in Joe’s brain. “Oh. Ah—” he scrambles for a translation “—you are called Nicky?” he thinks he asks in Italian.
The man’s face brightens. “Si,” he says, then he unleashes a long stream of Italian that Joe doesn’t come close to comprehending.
“Uh, sorry,” Joe says, shaking his head. He shrugs helplessly. “Mi dispiace, no italiano.”
A failed attempt at outdoor recreation leaves Joe stranded in a mountain cabin. Good thing he has company.

Summary
If Nicky had his way, he’d storm out of the al-Kaysanis’ home—but then, if Nicky had his way, he wouldn’t even be here in the first place.
Remembering the conversation he had with his mother two months ago does nothing to abate Nicky’s anger, so he focuses on cutting his tuna into perfectly even bites.
Joe’s staring at him like he’s insane, which only heightens his irritation.
Joe’s father stands and clears his throat, glass raised. “To legacies,” he says. “To dynasties. To new family.” Joe’s father looks at Nicky and smiles. He and Joe have the same dimples, Nicky notices. “And to the marriage of our two sons.”

Summary
There is a man who lives inside the Soldier’s head.
The Soldier does not know much about the man. The man is an American, and he fought in one of the few twentieth-century wars the Soldier had not—if only because he did not exist yet. At some point, a war pitted their home countries against each other, but that did not put much of a damper on things. They are good friends.
Here is how the Winter Soldier dies: the resurrection of James Barnes.
An account of Bucky's time in Bucharest.
