A Missing Memory by kitsunerei88 is casefic -- the narrator is a public defender in a magical-urban setting. A man has been charged with murder, and his memory of the event has been removed.

The worldbuilding is subtle but feels comprehensive. The real star of the story is the legal system itself.

Original work; 11k words; gen. (Background het pairings are referenced.) No archive warnings apply.

Additional content notes, including light spoilers:

As noted, the story investigates a murder. A character is incarcerated with adequate but substandard care. Intimate partner violence is referenced. Three characters undertake a minor, ritualized act of self-harm.

I’m a Ruler by Shohreh Aghdashloo. I celebrated finishing The Expanse by watching this vid of Chrisjen Avasarala, certainly one of the most compelling characters in any series. Also, one of my favorites. Would that we could all rely on someone like Chrissy.

Gwen on the Throne by headfirrstforhalos. Magnificent portrait of the Once and Future Queen.

Darth Vader Goes to Therapy by LadyVader23. Luke becomes a therapist rather than a Jedi and then is the only one willing to take on a most difficult and dangerous client. Starts out intending to be cracky but winds up being a more serious, if often hilarious story.

Masters of War (Pegasus Rising Remix) by bironic. Stargate Atlantis vid that looks at the impact the Pegasus expedition had on the cultures they encountered.

Once and Future by zazrichor. Stunning artwork of Merlin bestowing kingship on Arthur.

The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022 RECS

My last set of recs from where I have slowly made my way through all the Joe/Nicky stories. Reminder: I won't be reading or reccing every story due to personal taste! Also, I tend not to rec WIPS no matter how beautifully written to this point. ALL the stories are worth checking out for the gorgeous artwork, regardless!

Title: But You're Screaming So Loud by everyshootingstar, Art by QueenofBadOmens
Summary: Someone's taking photos of Nicky, and while that seems a very mundane thing, it doesn't feel like it. There's large quantities of them, traveling at the speed of light to somewhere and while it seems harmless at first, Nicky still feels off-center by the amount of photos, all of him, in different places, days and times. What starts out as a relaxing vacation, quickly turns into something so much more.
Rec: After the events at Merricks all Joe and Nicky want to do is relax and be together but they cannot seem to catch a break as someone is stalking Nicky. I love the softness between Joe and Nicky, the obvious love for each other, the teasing. Also love how much they need their family, Nile and Andy, who come as soon as they call for help. The story has a slow build that adds to the tension and a final showdown. Lovely art by QueenofBadOmens is placed in the story where it has the most impact.

Title: Bad Beginnings by Wind_Ryder, Art by ZairaA
Series: Beginnings, Middles, Ends
Summary: Nicolò cannot die. It is a punishment, he knows. A curse. He sinned on crusade, and for that he must serve penance. He must repent, go on pilgrimage, and fast to purge himself of the evil he has wrought. There is another man, another one who cannot die. Their first meetings and deaths are bloody and violent. Nicolò wishes, desperately to be left alone to serve his penance as he sees fit. Destiny intends differently.
Rec: This follows Nicolò from how and why he became part of the invading army, why he committed some of the atrocities, and how he tried - and still tries - so hard to make amends for his actions. The imagery is quite brutal in places, of how he mistreats himself physically due to starvation and PTSD, but also of how he and Joe slowly move from that bad beginning to some form of acceptance of the other. It is part of a series of three stories posted for this same Reverse Bang challenge. The stories that follow expand first on Nicolò and Yusuf learning to live, accept, and eventually fall in love with each other. The final part brings us to Merrick's and Nile's view of their relationship and her struggle to balance her knowledge and feelings. It is all beautifully written and compelling. It works well with the lovely art in the first part.

Title: Hay más tiempo que vida (There is more time than life) by astraea215 and sassy_wartime_nun (and Art)
Summary: When Andromache the Scythian leaves Sydney bound for San Francisco, she leaves a life and a home behind. Her hatred, she carries with her. 1912. The twentieth century is just getting started. Andy has rejoined her boys after several decades apart, and everything should be great. Except - Booker is facing the hundredth anniversary of his death. Joe and Nicky are caught up in the ideological promise of a new mission. And Andy... something is very wrong with Andy, but she won't tell them what. Can they reforge their connections with each other, or will grief and the crucible of the Mexican Revolution drive them further apart?
Rec: This builds on the comics and a period of Andy's life from when she had fallen in love and married Achilles in Australia only to see him murdered as an old man by his own neighbors turning against him. It deals with Andy's grief, her loss of faith in humanity, and how she slowly finds a way out of that rage of grief. Beautifully written story and lovely artwork.

Title: A Different Game by thevorpalsword, Art by beepbeepsan
Summary: The last thing she ever expected in hiring a bunch of thieves was to end up participating in the grift herself. But honestly? It may be the best decision Nile's ever made. After all, justice was denied her when she tried the legal channels. It looks like she might have a little more luck stealing it herself.
Rec: This is a Leverage AU. I have never watched a single episode of that show but I know the format. This is all from Nile's point of view, and I loved her thoughts about the grift and the people (thieves) who were there to help her find justice for herself and her army colleagues from a shady senator and Merrick Pharmaceuticals experimentation. The backstory is told during the action, adding to the whole story in an interesting way. The artwork is gorgeous!

Title: Dance Your Way To My Heart by spacewitchqueen, Art by ZairaA
Summary: Nicky and Nile are ballet dancer at Andy's dance school. When a new choreographer arrives, Nicky and him get off on the wrong foot and miscommunication ensues. Can they find their own rhythm and work together? Maybe with a bit of help.
Rec: I know nothing about ballet or dancing but this did not stop me from enjoying all the misunderstandings and the eventual moment when they figure it out and get together. It's a sweet romance story with some lovely artwork by ZairaA.

The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022 RECS

Some more Joe/Nicky recs from where I am slowly making my way through all the wonderful stories. Reminder: I won't be reading or reccing every story due to personal taste! Also, I tend not to rec WIPS. ALL the stories are worth checking out for the gorgeous artwork, regardless!

Title: So Universal a Mixture by spinawren, Art by alby_mangroves
Summary: “To first blood?” Nicolo asks, but even as he says the words his mouth pulls down, rueful, at Yusuf’s raising brows. What is first blood to people like them?
In which duelling to the death becomes the most intimate engagement in the world.
Rec: A beautifully written soulmark story set during the early years when they first start traveling together. It is taken from Yusuf's point of view. Both keep their soulmarks hidden, and both believe their soulmate is dead as the color has drained from the soulmark. They find themselves drawn to each other regardless, find themselves in sync with each other as they duel. Beautiful art by alby_mangroves.

Title: I live on kindness, faith and constant courage by Tam_Cranver, Art by Krimsnkrams
Summary: It's 1150, and Andromache and Quynh's first efforts to introduce Yusuf and Nicolò to immortal life have ended poorly. In hopes of some rest and recovery, and an opportunity to show them a happier side of immortality, Andromache and Quynh take the two men to Provence to meet an old friend and to reflect on their pasts and futures.
Rec: Yusuf and Nicolò have not been journeying that long with Andromache and Quyhn so they are still learning about each other and how to trust one another. The story is set in a moment of peace, giving all them a chance for introspection and to enjoy life, but both men have so many questions and Andy and Quyhn answer some of them. It's an interesting look at the 1150s and the lengths the four have to go in order to fit in and protect their secret. Beautiful art by Krimsnkrams.

Title: If You Abide With Me by ZairaA, Art by alby_mangroves
Summary: Nicolò’s path has always been clear. As the third son he would become a monk and dedicate his life to the service of God. Nicolò has come to accept that, but when a mysterious stranger is washed up on shore and placed into his care, Nicolò has to fight with the temptation of everything he never knew he could want: companionship, friendship and maybe even more.
Rec: An alternate universe - different beginnings story that is just as plausible as canon, with Nicolò sent to serve in a monastery from a young age but destiny arrives in the form of Yusuf, the only survivor from a merchant ship that sinks during a storm, and who has another secret he is scared to reveal to anyone, even to the man he has come to love with all his heart and soul, Nicolò. The ending is a perfect new beginning. Beautiful art by alby_mangroves.

Title: Unknown Survivors by Wind_Ryder, Art by QueenofBadOmens
Summary: Joe died his last death deep underground. He wakes up, thirty-four years later in a body that is more machine than man and no memory of who he is. But he's dreaming of a man being held captive, and even if he doesn't know himself: he knows he needs to save this man. No matter the cost. Meanwhile, Nile is alone. Booker and Quynh are dead, Andy is little more than a voice in a machine, and for ten years Nicky has been held captive by a PharmaTech company eager to exploit him in any way they can. She's leading a revolution to try to bring them down, and the news that someone has found Joe's remains and brought him back to life could not have come at a more inconvenient time.
Rec: I debated on whether to rec this purely because, even though this part is complete, the whole story is NOT finished. The second part (The Ship of Theseus) is halfway written. Howwever, it was a fascinating read with some fantastic worldbuilding of a technological future and how it impacts on The Old Guard. It is hard-hitting on occasions and is a strangely bleak future with people selling themselves to giant tech companies for augmentation - becoming more cyborg than human. Again, with some lovely artwork created by QueenofBadOmens.

Title: Here With Me by MarvelMerlin, Art by wrenaspun
Summary: Nicolo is 8 when the generational war that's older than he can comprehend comes to an end and his hand is given to the prince of the nation that had been their oldest enemies. Yusuf is 11 when he first sees the small, quiet boy with a face that seemed to be made of stone. Both of them know that from the moment the treaty is signed their lives are tied together for decades to come. Nicolo is 27 when his father falls ill and his brother begins to unravel the treaty, Yusuf is 30 and scrambling to find a way to keep Nicolo by his side without revealing their secret elopement years before they were supposed to be married. When war tears them apart it's a scramble to find their way back to each other.
Rec: A beautiful love story set in a faraway kingdom(s) where two young boys, betrothed as part of a peace treaty, first learn to like and then fall in love with each other and eventually gain their happy ever after :)
