Thinking of a Joe-is-the-new-immortal au where Andy and Nicky - who’ve known each other for like 800 years at this point, and it was just the pair of them after Quynh and before Booker-and-Nile - have a no personal boundaries regarding space or nudity or history with each other because they’ve literally known each other for nearly a thousand years and loved each other so long (thinking of the fond hug in Marrakesh)(Platonic with a capital P) that the realms of normality have been lost over time regarding the other
AND ITS DRIVING JOE INSANE
Like I image this Joe, modern Joe, to be a hopeless romantic, emphasis on the hopeless, used to pining rather than loving because the modern world is so fast and busy and people rarely have the time to slow down, so he sees Nicky and Andy asleep on the sofa drooling on each other like a pair of cats and resigns himself to pining, like , oh of course this hot kind man is taken, better pine from afar, and he’s happy to do so like an idiot instead filling sketchbook after sketchbook with portraits and idle romantic doodles
And Nile and Booker are no help because they’ve got so used to the Nicky and Andy shenanigans that to them it’s just Tuesday. Andy walks out the bathroom completely nude to ask Nicky if her tattoo has faded yet? Normal Wednesday behaviour. Nicky wakes up Andy from a cat nap - waking a bear would be safer - with a spoon to her mouth asking if the soup tastes like the one they had in Alexandria ‘28*, yet? Must be Thursday. Andy prods at Nicky’s mole when he’s frowning to get him to smile like it’s a press-release button? Friday. (Wouldn’t your sister-like-figure do the same?) Nicky content to being used as a blanket because Andy remembers Russia ‘14 and she’s not regrowing her toes again. A specific Saturday in 1814 that Booker, new to immortality at the time, tries not to remember either.
*1228, Nicky still can’t perfect the recipe after all this time and it’s driving him nuts
Andy’s twigged what’s going on because she knows Nicky like the back of her own hand, but she’s also not going to change anything because this is the dynamic - Nicky’s been her brother her family her constant her rock after Quynh for so long now, just like she’s been to him,that Joe needs to get used to that, she’s not ready to lose someone else, she also doesn’t want Nicky’s heart to get broken because she’s been around for that with mortals over the years and it’s always messy.
And Nicky is so in love at the point, with this passionate artist who sees all this beauty in the world, but Joe keeps writing off what he’s doing with all the strength - stupidity- of a millennial raised around toxic masculinity and no-homo, and done his best to reject them but he’s now faced with a 900 year old man, cut him some slack, throwing up roadblocks to his own romantic happiness because he’s not expecting anything at all, like Nicky was raised in a different time, men acted differently towards each other then, they were more affectionate, I’m sure it doesn’t mean what it sounds like ~ I love you - wait what?

Anyone else on the planet or this timeline wondering what or who they need to sell, to get more old guard comic stories or the freaking movie sequel?
Tumblr media
I can appreciate Booker was drunk longer, Quynh/Noriko was trapped longer, Joe and Nicky have loved longer and Andromache has lived longer but for this mere mortal this wait is something else.

2024 don’t let me down

there’s something so bloody brilliant about the character of nicky di genova. it’s this pure contradictory awesomeness that i struggle to word but i’ll give it a go
the way he is so kind. when i haven’t seen the movie in a while i get to thinking his kindness is exaggerated in fanon but it truly isnt, he’s this lovely, solid warmth in the group, full of empathy and a desire to protect and help. i just love the contrast of that person being a terrifyingly adept killer. every scene where he fights with the sword im just in awe at his speed and precision. this calm, quiet, caring man houses such ferocity but it’s so controlled, so efficient and neat, it’s fascinating to see. it’s like how could you be scared of this guy, but also you’d be insane not to be scared of this guy.
you imagine nicky to be the medic in the war. the one who cooks for the team. he is the one who greets and smiles at the locals. the one who doesn’t regret losing for even just the chance to help someone. the one who pushes for helping nile, instantly putting himself in her shoes. he’s all that and he’s the sniper.

"Gay people are sun and moon coded" actually just statistical error. Gay people are not sun and moon coded. Gay Joe And Nicky, who have spent 900 years comparing each other to the sun and moon in vans full of armored enemies, are an outlier and should not have been counted
(Psst. Vote Joe and Nicky for most sunmoon coded duo)

the old guard is a compelling movie because on one hand it’s a pretty fun action flick with an interesting premise, and on the other it sits like an elephant in the back of my mind because i know if i give even the slightest bit of credence to joe and nicky’s cross-century enemies-to-lovers murdering-eachother-since-the-crusades 100k slow burn extravaganza i will go literally insane

I know we all agree that Yusuf is an ARTIST and a connoisseur in all things art/poetry/culture but I have a headcannon that I can't let go of. What if Joe is actually a terrible artist and Nicky is just indulging him because he loves him so much. Like this man will lock himself away for hours on end, leave his little studio covered in paints and charcoals. He has the concentration of an eagle and the execution of a koala high on eucalyptus.
Tumblr media
He spends years perfecting his craft. He goes to art school at least once per century. He has rubbed elbows with the greats. And yet his art hasn't improved much from the cave drawings he started doing in the 12th century.
Yusuf accidentally invented cubism in 1907
Tumblr media
Nicky encourages Joe. He goes to the market and will trade an extra loaf of bread for parchment. He buys rare stones and exotic flowers so that they can be ground into deep pigments for painting, as Yusuf expressed wanting to perfectly capture the Maltese sunset.
Every portrait of Nicky, Andy, and Booker look exactly the same, except for Nicolo's mole. The group has learned to ask what the picture is, after one too many wrong assumptions.
Tumblr media
Nicky is very protective of his husband's art. He got into a fistfight with Paul Gaugin, after he insulted one of Yusuf's landscapes. Nicky was grateful for the democratization of art that came with Contemporary Art. He shows Yusuf works by Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring. Yusuf's art has finally found its place in time, and an audience who appreciates it. One of his stick figures ends up online thanks to Nile and becomes the template for a meme. The team doesn't know until they are in a hipster bar just outside of Camdan, and a barista walks up wearing a t-shirt with Joe's drawing and the text [I'm going to live forever] emblazoned on the back with rhinestones. Everyone is surprised, but Nicky is fucking beaming. He tells everyone with ears that his husband is a famous artist. He finds the barista's shirt on Etsy and buys one for every member of the team. He sends Copley a Christmas card with the entire team wearing their shirts cuddled up on the couch.

My AO3 Wrapped 2023
Welcome to my AO3 Wrapped 2023, where I take a look at some of my favourite fics from 2023 (one bookmark per month). 
There were so many amazing fics in 2023, so many new people and friends I met because of fanfic <3 So here’s to a very good 2024, full of words and worlds!
Let’s go to the fics:
January-
The Fine Line Between Hormones and Home by seekingmoonscapes (Bad Buddy: The Series)
In an almost canon universe where the only difference is that it is omegaverse, Pat is an omega, and Pran is an alpha. And during one of his heats, Pat is at home, and decides to ask Pran for a shirt with his scent to help with his heat. But instead, he asks Pran for help in other ways. Fic where the porn IS the plot, everything is super consensual, and sexy and hot. Alternating POV, so on Pran’s pov we get to see all the pining.
February - 
If Never Again, If Every Day by gallifreyburning and takiki16 (The Old Guard)
This fic was wonderful from beginning to end. For reasons, 2021 Nicky goes back in time to Jerusalem and his first death at Yusuf's hands. Meanwhile, 1099 Nicolò goes forward in time to 2021 and meets Joe. It's heartbreaking and loving and funny and so full of love. Nicky and Joe miss each other even when around their younger versions. But the love they feel for each other is stronger than that. Wonderful story, happy ending.
March - 
Wooing the Water Tribe by lenaballena (ATLA) @dameferre
Sokka has been living in the Fire Nation as Zuko's second in power and his best friend and everything. When Katara comes to visit, Sokka thinks Zuku is courting her. And he realizes he is also in love with his best friend. Lots of pining. There's absolutely no courting of Katara. It's also really funny. My heart broke for Sokka at some moments.
April - 
The Grand Unified Theory of Shen Qingqiu by 00janeblonde (SVSSS)
WIP - This story is all fluff and no angst, like the tags say, slice of life and it's wonderful. SQQ dies at Maigu Ridge, and is offered to acquire the Game Plus, where he can go back to the past with his cultivation and memory intact, and try again. Doing that he discovers that he is actually the real Shen Jiu reincarnated, and he can try to recover memory markers to be able to restart the "game" even before than when he first "transmigrated". His friendship with YQY becomes strong, LQG also becomes his friend (it's really sweet how he wants his friends back). Everything is very soft. Absolutely great teacher SQQ.
May - 
but for me, there is a storm by Authoress (Haikyuu!!) by @kiribakus
An epic pacific rim au. Hinata and Kageyama are both cadets who want to be Jaeger pilots, but they cannot get along. So they work really hard because they are their last hope to pilot a one of a kind Jaeger - a Kaiju/Machine hybrid. They solve their problems in the beginning (and then later they have more problems). Hinata and Kageyama are not the only main characters, other characters are also very important and have their own storyline and pov. This story is heartbreaking as well. There's MCD, and it made me cry so hard I got puffy eyes. It's a wonderful read, and very well written.
June - 
The UA Analyst Kid by RogueVector (BNHA)
Izuku meets the UA teachers before getting OFA and they see how good his analysis is, so they start to train him (together with some other heroes). But some things don't change and Izuku still meets All Might and gets offered OFA. This story is funny, sweet and with amazing relationships. Izuku is OP with his intelligence and training. All the teachers and heroes are so supportive and good. A really feel good story.
July - 
Deku? I think he’s some pro… by Clouds (BNHA)
After All Might told Izuku he can't be a hero, he finds himself in a forum used by some underground heroes and offers his analysis to them, since he can't be a hero, he will help them. The underground heroes think Izuku is some kind of retired pro when they ask for help analyzing some villains and all, and when they finally meet face-to-face they all decide to practically adopt Izuku and teach him to fight so he will have a chance to be a quirkless hero. It is amazing! Also, the relationship between Izuku and the underground heroes is more like friends than teacher-student, and it's amazing that way. (some All Might bashing - be warned)
August - 
Mobius by Foxquills (BNHA) @fox-quills
WIP - I love this story so much!!! Third-year Izuku is sent to the past because of a quirk accident, to the time both Shouta and Hizashi are third year students at UA. Problem is, according to Nedzu, time is constant, or a loop, so he can’t change anything in the past, and everything that has happened, will happen again. He becomes fast friends with both Shouta and Hizashi, and starts crushing on them as well. Both Hizashi and Shouta also start crushing on him. It is lovely. There’s pain. It’s awesome. (also omegaverse).
September - 
Factory Settings by Anonymous (Good Omens)
Post season 2 au, because Crowley follows Aziraphale to heaven. Things happen, and instead of Crowley, there is Raphael, without any memory of all the time he's lived as Crowley. Heaven and Hell are at it again. Aziraphale has no idea what to do, and he misses his Crowley. Muriel is a sweetheart. Both Aziraphale and Crowley/Raphael povs. Great story, feels very much canon.
October - 
Justice in Defiance by Foxquills (BNHA) @fox-quills
WIP - Aizawa is a hero turned villain who kills both heroes and villains alike. And one day Izuku finds him right after he kills someone. They fight. And now Izuku needs to know more. What made Aizawa turn????? To do that, he will also need Hizashi in his corner. Absolutely lovely story!!!! The povs are amazing. The feelings and pining are perfect.
November - 
If I Must Starve (Let it be in Your Arms) by Igneum807 (The Witcher)
So think about the softest story involving Jaskier and touch-starved witchers, and this is the result. During his travels alone, when he and Geralt go their different ways for a few weeks, Jaskier meets Geralt's brothers, who are just as touch and companionship-starved as Geralt was before meeting Jaskier. It's super soft and tender.
December - 
Cultivate: Slow Life on a Monster-Infested Mountain by NeonGhostCat (SVSSS) @neonghostcat
When SY transmigrates, the System tries to put him on SQQ's body, but SQQ is aware and is able to stop it from happening. The System then gives SY his own body, but something goes wrong with the system and SY is decided to not get involved with the plot, or with Cang Qiong Sect, and specially SQQ. He finds an abandoned mountain, with an abandoned house there and decides to stay there until he is strong enough if SQQ finds him and wants to kill him. Obviously things cannot be that simple. Now he is stuck on the mountain he can't get out of, every full moon night there are monster attacks and one day LQG appears on the Mountain, how can he get out of helping with the plot now? Shen Yuan is absolutely perfect on this fic. I love how he deals with the mountain and its beasts and plant-life. Liushen is the softest you'll see. Slow burn, super domestic, feel good story.
~
Enjoy your readings!

It's safe to say that we have a fine assortment of immortal husbands now. I.e, crowley x aziraphale (good omens), dream x hob (the sandman), nicky x joe (old guard) and louis x lestat (iwtv), so where, oh where are the immortal wives?
