    Summary

    And last but not least: Prof. al-Kaysani got married last week! And while he has explicitly asked for no fuss to be made, we have organised a small gift and a card that you are all welcome to sign. It will be on my desk until September 7th.

    Best,

    Dr. Quynh Pham
    Course Leader BA (Hons) Curating

    Nile’s eyes are stuck on the word ‘married’. Her mouth drops open, toast falling into her lap without her noticing.

    Married. 

    “The fuck?”

    Summary


    Quynh still hasn’t cried, despite everything. Not that Andy has seen, anyway. The tension of it acts as a barricade. A tightly strung arrow. It quivers. It chills. Sometimes Andy sees her there. Standing. Staring off into some middle distance with her hand wrapped loosely around her own throat. Is she feeling the pulse there as it thrums steady and constant beneath her fingers. The reassuring rush of blood-contained in her veins, the flow of oxygen smoothly through her system. As it should be. As it should have been. Is she just not sure of it yet? That breath will come in and out of her lungs in easy, regular intervals. That her chest will fill and empty without force. Without that cold, aching agony. 


    Just how many times had she drowned? 

    An exploration of breath and the Ship of Theseus.
    Can easily be read as a stand alone.

    Summary

    "Perhaps most tragic of all is the absence of Andy Burgess outside of Scranton history. We know that she was brave and determined based on her actions during the Scranton Flood. We know that she loved and was loved in return, that her final thoughts on the day of her death were about Nile. But who she was outside of that has been lost to the pages of history. Though many people have shown up over the years claiming to be her family, there has been no actual proven familial link to this day. In many ways, Andy Burgess exists because of Nile's letters, her words doing more to immortalize the Hero of Scranton's human existence than any biographical text to date...And perhaps, at the end of the day, this was the greatest demonstration of Nile's love for Andy Burgess: to keep her alive long after she was gone."

    Summary

    "Wait, hold up a sec. So if you were around before them -- how old are you?"

    The men all go quiet, and Nile wonders if she's just committed some kind of immortal faux pas. "It is irrelevant," Quỳnh finally says. "Old enough to know there is no point looking backwards."

    "You're the oldest," Nile murmurs in awe. Older than the Crusades. How much older? A few hundred years more? A thousand?

    "No," Nicky says quietly. "Not the oldest."

    Canon-divergent AU. Five hundred years ago, they lost Andromache to the sea. Now Quỳnh leads the team, a new immortal just woke up, and some pharmaceutical company is getting a little too interested in their business.
