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.

Summary
FOR THE THE OLD GUARD REVERSE BANG 2022! Decades after meeting him for the first time, Nile’s still unsure about how she feels about Booker. It’s not like she hasn't noticed the way he looks at her, but … there’s just so many buts. Then, in one awful moment, they’re torn apart. And Nile swears that she’ll do whatever it takes to get him back, even if it takes her years and years — even if it means having to cross the vast gulf between the stars — one day at a time.

Summary
Andy’s not moving. Her breathing is rasping and ragged and, holy shit, she didn’t even die on impact. Nile can feel her arms mend themselves and she drags herself over to Andy as her legs straighten and snap into place. Nile pushes her fingers to Andy’s pulse, feeling how slow it is.

Summary
Booker’s gaze is hollow, but he stares steadily back at Joe. “You have no idea,” he says again. “You said you would walk through fire for Nicky? I would have done that a thousand times for my children, before I ever knew that I would survive it.” He takes a step closer, and Joe instinctively readies himself at the look in his eyes.
“Imagine,” Booker says, his voice low. “Just for a moment, that Nicky is dying.”
Joe punches him right in the face.
