Summary: Nicky and Joe had been sharing dreams of a magical city and distant stars since they first touched. They believed it was because they were soulmates - angels cast out from heaven as punishment for some forgotten misdeed. Andy thought they just had vivid imaginations but then James discovered the Stargate Program.

Content Notes: In the Ships Crossing Exchange 2024 I received a stunning piece of art by

mific. I decided to use that as inspiration for this story to meet the

lands_of_magic DIY BANG challenge and cross off a few more bingo prompts!

Thanks to

andrewducker on my friends page, I was treated to The Women Who Ran Genghis Khan’s Empire. The sub-heading reads, "From fighting in the army to managing the kingdom, women were key players in every aspect of the Mongol Empire."

Large portions of the ancient world seem to have treated women as second-class citizens, subject to men's rules and expectations. It's interesting to read about a very different system, and think about Andromache and Quynh being part of that culture for a few dozen years, or even a generation or two. I thought some of you might also enjoy delving in.

Maybe there's even a fic idea in there for someone...

Malta Over the Years (6574 words) by static_abyss
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolo di Genova
Characters: Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Nicky | Nicolo di Genova
Additional Tags: Developing Relationship, Character Study, Canon-Typical Violence, Pre-Canon, Implied Sexual Content, Minor Andy | Andromache of Scythia/Quynh | Noriko
Summary:

"Remember that time in Malta?" Nicky asks.

Joe looks away and knows they're both thinking of white sand and clear seas, of ice-cold drinks and laughter. But they're also thinking of that first time in Malta. The one when Nicky almost walked away, when Joe found out they were on different paths, the time in Malta when Nicky stayed. When they chose each other. Where Joe would choose Nicky again and again. Where Nicky finally gave time a shot.

That time in Malta, but also all those other times in Malta.

"That would be nice," Joe says.

Summary:

Quynh wakes and the world is blinding light from above, a stab to her tired eyes as she tries to adjust to dry land. She's surprised she can still feel after all this time, that she still shivers as goosebumps break out across her arms. She lies there, doing her best not to think of Andromache or the fact that she's woken to a new world. Alone.

Summary:

"Do you think we'll dream of each other, now?" Nicolò asks unexpectedly. "Like we do those two women?"

It startles a real laugh out of Yusuf. "Who knows? Sometimes, Nicolò, I think I must have dreamed you entirely."

After escaping the fall of Jerusalem together, Yusuf walks away from Nicolò in order to return home and move on with his life. It works for a while. Fifteen years later, Nicolò shows up in his dreams of the two immortal women.

(In which Yusuf needs time to come to terms with destiny, and Nicolò to make peace with himself, before they can meet on equal ground.)

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.
