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.

Relationships: Booker | Sebastien le Livre & Nile Freeman
Summary: In the end, maybe that’s why she tells him after all; because he went through it all before and ended up significantly the worse for wear for it, and she doesn’t want to do the same.

I hope you all enjoy this first one, my beta readers response was 'awwwww'. Saying that, thank you Soph for reading this for me so quickly and thank you so much to everyone who commented and left kudos on the first story.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolo di Genova
Characters: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Nicky | Nicolo di Genova, Nile Freeman, Andy | Andromache of Scythia
Additional Tags: Weddings, soft sweet murder husbands, Muslim Character, Immortal family
Summary:

"A thousand years and you've never done this?" Nile asked. "Why now?"

Joe looked over at where Andy stood next to Nicolò. Her dress, ruby red and caught behind her waist and neck with gold knots, couldn’t or perhaps didn’t intend to entirely hide either the knife at the small of her back or the scars on her shoulder and side. "You know why," he said.

Summary:

"Death always matters. It is not a game, it is not casual, it is real and it is painful and it is not a thing to be chased, not ever!"

After Merrick, Nicky can't stand seeing any of them die. It takes Joe a while to put it together.

For anyone looking to double up on new tees/hoodies and giving to a good cause, Greg Rucka has ~~two~~ three official The Old Guard designs for sale on Bonfire with new art by Leandro Fernández.

The first features Nile and a message of Black Lives Matter, with proceeds going to the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund.

The second features a Joe/Nicky valentine and a message of Love Is Immortal, with proceeds going to The Trevor Project.

Both shirts also have Andy's labrys on the back, and it looks like they're available only for the next two weeks.

ETA: And there's also now a team design with proceeds going to the ACLU.

Pairing: Nicky/Joe, Nicky/Nile (fwb)

Rating: NC17/18
A/N: So The Old Guard has kind of eaten my brain and this was a bunny that popped into my head this morning and refused to leave, so I had to write it down. This is my first TOG fanfic, but I already have another 2 on the go that are longer, this one just wouldn't shut up until it was in words :D. Movie canon only. Thanks to Soph for the beta.

So I decided a fic where one of the immortals got their period had to happen, and it had to lead to porn, and this is that fic.

Summary:

The worst part of immortality by far, the thing no one’s prepared her for, the thing for which no guides exist and that takes Nile completely by surprise, is that she still gets her period.
