The Old Guard - 3 stories and NCIS - 1 story
Date: 2020-10-31 06:42 am (UTC)Story: Building Heaven
By:
Fandom: NCIS
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Choose Not to Use
Pairing(s): Tony DiNozzo/Tim McGee
Status: Complete
Length: 27,700 words
Author Summary: Tony discovers something about McGee, which leads him to discover something about himself.
Other: A coworkers to friends to lovers to relationship story. I particularly enjoy the realism of the developments -- the back-and-forth but ever onward, the slight misunderstandings that they clear up with talking about them (what a concept!), the deepening relationship and growing love.
Story: If Only Life Would Lean Our Way
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Teen, Gen
Warnings: None
Pairing(s): Nicky/Joe background
Status: Complete
Length: 2,200 words
Author Summary: Nicky has a good day. He has the opportunity to take out Dr. Kozak, who caused such pain for him and his love. Then, some documents from Merrick's testing reveal something surprising - and entirely welcome - about Andy's health.
Other: A good number of TOG stories either ignore that Andy became mortal again, or decide she regained her immortality, explanation unknown. This story gives us a logical, believable reason that Andy’s immortality was... temporarily sidetracked... for a most satisfactory outcome.
Story: Kurgan
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Teen, Gen
Warnings: Major Character Death
Pairing(s): Joe/Nicky background
Status: Complete
Length: 3,160 words
Author Summary: The last thing Teyfuq Mustafayev expects, as he puts the coffee on and slices bread and cheese for his still-sleeping wife Ayshe on a morning still with the promise of the Hot Season that will soon crackle his farm dry, is an American girl with a crumpled pile of hyrvina bills in her hands that he knows at a glance are worth more than his son Murat earns at his engineer’s job in Sevastopol, perfect Moscovite Russian in her mouth, and death in her eyes. OR: The years pass, Nile speaks Russian, and they do their best to honour the rites of Andy's people.
Other: Nile and the team honors and buries Andy. Beautiful and sweet, but sad.
Story: Driving Lessons
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Teen, Gen
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con
Nothing explicit in the story. I think this is reference to passing mentions of [a] the physical violations in the lab and [b] the soldiers raping during the Crusades.
Pairing(s): Joe/Nicky background
Status: Complete
Length: 11,600 words
Author Summary: Nicky said, “I’m awake now. Do you want to go for a drive?”
“A drive?” Nile looked at her watch, it wasn’t anywhere close to morning. Although the idea of getting out of their windowless room is an attractive one, she can’t deny it, “Are you sure?”
OR: Nile is having trouble sleeping, and Nicky likes to drive.
Other: When new immortal life gives Nile nightmares a pattern develops; Nicky takes her driving and they talk, whether or not it’s relevant to anything -- except it is. Stunningly beautiful character study.
