Story:Building Heaven By:velvetjinx 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:Jessikast 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:rainbowagness 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:PastyPirate 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.
