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.Series

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.

Nicky hadn't meant to fall asleep in his office. He also hadn't meant to catch someone in the act of stealing from the museum where he works.
And he really, really hadn't meant to help the thief.
Sometimes, though, the unexpected happens.

Summary
The secret to a 900 year relationship is not, as Nile first guessed, threesomes. It takes work, and compromise, and even if Joe and Nicky would Never get bored of each other, sometimes pretending to be other people keeps things... fresh.
This is a collection of one shots for all you people who've steadily been making their way through Marwan and Luca's filmographies these past months.

Pride and Prejudice and Immortals (and Zombies) by Kyra_Bane

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.
Or, Yusuf Al-Kaysani protects his sister's secret, kills zombies, and will definitely never fall in love with that cold-hearted, arrogant Nicolò di Genova.
Or, I really wanted to write Joe/Nicky Regency fic but still have them kill things. Enjoy!

Summary
After nine hundred and twenty-one years, Yusuf and Nicolo have found many ways to tell the other that he loves him.
Yusuf loves words, loves poems and speeches and art he has seen and built and breathed for centuries; Nicolo loves acts of service, loves to help and to protect and to provide. Over the years, gifts are exchanged, touch is treasured, and every waking moment they can spend together, they are inseparable.
Nine hundred and twenty-one years, and thousands of ways to say I love you.

let not time deceive you (you cannot conquer time) by Draco_sollicitus
Fandoms: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
28 Sep 2020

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 can call me Nico, or whatever else your heart desires." He sat back and pulled his hand away slowly, fingers trailing over Yusuf's sensually.
"I've the feeling that that is not your name, the same as mine is not." Yusuf said quietly.
"Like I said, the English bastardize everything." A sardonic smile, a shake of a head. "A rose by any other name..."
"Will die just the same," Yusuf finished.

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.
______No longer a work in progress. Now just a work.

Missed You By a Few Minutes, a Few Centuries by just_another_tinker

Summary
Nicolò di Genova was killed on one of the endless mornings of The Crusades, struck down by a scimitar. He woke again later that evening.
Yusuf al-Kaysani bled out hours later from wounds left by a sword. He woke again that next morning.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he chose to avoid it.
Alternatively, Nicky and Joe's second meeting was over 900 years too late. And neither one knows the other is immortal, or that they've already met.

It starts with an arm around his neck; with a weight of someone’s head on his shoulder—with the warmth against his back.
It was about Matsukawa Issei.

Summary
“You just did it again.”
“Excuse me?”
The man looks up at Akaashi from where he’s sitting, an eyebrow raised.
“You jumped. At least twice today, if not more.”
“What, uh.. What do you mean?”
The man just looks at him. “You know what I mean. Time travelling. Going back in time."
Akaashi freezes, looking at him in shock. “Oh…”
“So... how many times have you jumped today?”
“Seven.”
“And who are you trying to save?” He looks at Akaashi knowingly.
“... The love of my life.”
