"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"Live By The Sword" by Kaerith
Summary:
Nicky feels like he’s the only true human being in the room; he’s the only one shifting with discomfort and wrinkling his nose and feeling so sick at watching what’s going on. “Hey,” he says to the scientists, “Can’t you knock him out while you do that?”
“Why should we? We don’t have the budget for sedatives or pain killers.” One of the scientists says blandly, and that makes Nicky feel like he’s been shoved over an abyss. There should be empathy, or professional courtesy, or common decency, but there’s just a blank look of slight annoyance.
Instead of killing the doctor like he really wants to, Nicky pulls his silenced handgun from a pocket and shoots the victim in the head. “They’re immortal and I don’t get off on watching people writhe in pain. Even if drugs aren’t in the budget you can bet bullets are."

"The Old Guard 2' Gets an Update from One of Its Stars (Exclusive) BY DIEGO PERALTA/ Collider
(PUBLISHED 3 DAYS AGO)
Matthias Schoenaerts starred alongside Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne in the first installment...
As Schoenaerts noted during the interview, Ted Sarandos and Reed Hastings were co-CEOs from July 2020 until January 2023, when Hastings transitioned into the role of Executive Chairman of Netflix, with Greg Peters, the former COO, stepping into the co-CEO role beside Sarandos. Netflix has undergone a number of strategy changes over the years, and it sounds like the streamer has The Old Guard 2 in a bit of a holding pattern. Hopefully, with the film in the final stages of post-production, it's only a matter of time before Netflix releases an official update on its release plans"

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"An Unlikely Hero" Morvith
Summary:
Merrick built them the perfect prison: six single cells, restraints, cameras, Keane's hand-picked guards, only one way in... A veritable fortress and with Nile and Quynh captured and Copley dead, there's no one out there to storm it. There's no help coming. From the outside.
Fortresses always fall to treachery.

Netflix users have been left concerned by the omission of a huge movie from its list of 2024 releases.
On Thursday (1 February), the streaming service, which is both adding and removing a load of new titles this month, unveiled a preview of its movie slate – but the absence of one sequel that was expected to be released later this year is being highlighted by confused subscribers.
The film in question is The Old Guard 2, the sequel to action thriller The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron.
Released in 2020, The Old Guard followed Theron’s immortal warrior who, along with three other mercenaries, has spent centuries protecting her freedom.
The film was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, and co-starred Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli and Harry Melling in the villain role.
After becoming a big hit for Netflix, a sequel was greenlit, with Victoria Mahoney replacing Pryce-Bythewood as director. However, despite a release date of 2024 previously being announced by the streaming service, The Old Guard 2 has disappeared from the release slate.
Users are particularly concerned following news that a sci-fi drama starring Halle Berry has been shelved indefinitely despite filming being completed two years ago. The Mothership allegedly had its release “pulled” indefinitely following several delays that pushed the project back by years.
News of the film’s cancellation was first reported by The InSneider newsletter, where it was claimed the decision stemmed from the fact that the child actors had grown up too much for some “significant” reshoots to work.
The Old Guard 2 is not the only film to have disappeared from the 2024 release slate: The Electric State, a new thriller from Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo, and a thriller from The Raid director Gareth Evans, titled Havoc, are also nowhere to be seen.
Following the schedule’s release, many are expressing concern on social media.
“WHAT ABOUT THE OLD GUARD 2???” one social media user wrote, with another writing: “What the hell?”
An additional Netflix subscriber waded in: “Once again, where the f*** is Old Guard 2?
The Independent has contacted Netflix for comment.

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"Answers" by blitzturtles
Summary:
He had once hoped that death may fix the problem. That the right blow to the head might undo whatever’s gone wrong, but, as they’ve learned with all else, that which existed before immortality, remains.

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"To date or not to date" by xJane
Summary:
“I can’t on Friday,” he blurts out. “I, uh, I already have a date.”
“Oh?” Four pairs of eyes turn to him. He suddenly feels like a bunch of spotlights have suddenly been flicked on.
“That’s amazing, sweetie,” Quynh says, just as Andy asks, deeply suspicious, “Who with?”
Shit.
Joe racks his brain – and then he notices him.
Always alone for lunch, always with his large nose into a thick, dusty book, his pale eyes focused on whatever he’s reading. Always with some pasta in a Tupperware box – smelling like heaven itself whenever Joe walks by to find his friends.
“Nicky,” he says before he can stop himself.
***
Or, the one where Joe pretends to be dating Nicky. If only there would be any actual dating involved!

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"The Other Shoe" by Mari_Marie
Summary:
Joe has never been concerned about his own immortality and is convinced death refuses to take Booker out of spite. Nile is not a concern, either; too new as Andy had pointed out that first night around the dinner table. But Nicky…

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"Discord to harmony" by xJane
Summary:
Nicky loves the discord server he's part of.
It's not such a huge deal to not tell anyone there that he is in fact the highly acclaimed author Nicolò diGenova, is it? Or that he has the biggest crush on fellow server member Joe?

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"You will never know how far" by m_feys
Summary:
They were all intimidating at first. Not that Nile wasn't used to being sized up, but now, these were her people. For however long she had.
Training with Nicky was simple enough, but Joe was a different story altogether. Andy seemed content to sit back and let her struggle. She preferred to make her own mistakes anyway.

"Last First Kiss" by Mari_Marie
Summary:
“It’s okay,” Joe soothes even as his own breathing becomes shallow with panic. “Where’s your inhaler?” Nile never lets him leave the house without it. “Nicky. Where’s your inhaler?”

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"Broken Circle" by Wind_Ryder
Summary:
Instead of Booker dying in 1812, Nile dies in 1865. It's just after the civil war has ended, and the start of reconstruction. The United States is struggling to understand how to proceed, and the formation of racial extremist groups is on the rise.
After her death, Nile wakes and gives herself a purpose. She's not going to let reconstruction fail. The whispers of the KKK will end before they begin. And her new immortal family must choose to help her, or get out of her way.

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"To Sir, With Love" by Wind_Ryder
Summary:
“So...do you have Aspergers or are you like, full blown autistic?” Nile asks a few months after she’d watched Nicky have a meltdown in the back of their escape van. Nicky shrugs. He doesn’t know what to call himself.
“I don’t know if that’s what you’re supposed to say,” he admits.
“I mean, you’re high-functioning either way.” He doesn’t feel high-functioning. Sometimes he feels like he’s just pretending endlessly. Like he’s muddling his way through a game of make believe where the game is to suppress everything about him that makes him weird to others.
It’s only when he’s with Joe that he feels some of the weight come off his shoulders. Can feel like he can breathe again. Can just rest and let someone else pick up all the things that he can’t, as he tries to find a place called home.

"The Old Guard" fic recommendation:
"The Cure to Everything" by The_Heart_of_Leo
Summary:
Dr. Nicky Di Genova is hired by Merrick Pharmaceuticals to head their new Genetics Lab.
Nicky wasn't sure what to expect but it definitely wasn't the kidnapping, torture, captivity, and exploitation of an immortal being.
(AU where Nicky is the doctor working for Merrick where Joe is captured and brought in.)

#"Shh, I found a foundling in the library!" by
sharkie335
Summary:
Joe and Nicky have jobs in the local library. It's a great place to work, mostly because it's quiet enough that it doesn't bother their hearing.
Until one night the quiet is pierced by a cry.
