Summary
“Okay so they’ve done this before?” Nile asked. “Because the way they’ve been carrying on, it’s like… boy. They don’t know how to work their shit out? By now?”
He nodded out to the yard, where Joe and Nicky’s voices could still be heard faintly rising and falling.
“Are they arguing in Italian or English?”
“Some Italian, some English.”
Booker shook his head. “Nah, they’re alright then. It’s only nuclear if they both revert to their native languages.”
Or: Nile worries about Nicky and Joe going to bed angry. Booker's been around too long not to know better than that.

Summary
"Fanaticism is redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim." (George Santayana)
Nicolo tries desperately to hold to the shattered fragments of belief after his life ends for the first time in Jerusalem.
“Would Allah wish death on me?”
At that, Yusuf’s head snaps up. He finds himself staring into Nicolo’s icy eyes.
And notices that they’re not ice after all. Maybe they were, once. But tonight, Nicolo’s eyes are the ocean -- vast and unknowable, but not unkind.
“I don’t know,” Yusuf says. “I was taught that Allah was merciful.”
Nicolo takes a long, dragging breath. “That is where God and Allah differ, then.”

Summary
Jerusalem had fallen. Now, on top of the indignity of having to walk - walk! - to Alexandria to avoid getting shot out of the sky, Yusuf al-Kaysani has the double misfortune of being saddled with a filthy, empty-headed, exasperating Frank who doesn't even seem to know what his wings are for.
But after an explosion of temper reveals something about his enemy that Yusuf could never have fathomed in a thousand years, Yusuf finds himself looking at his companion in a whole new light. Suddenly tasked with helping Nicolo achieve a dream, an unexpected spark of compassion is born, that leads to forgiveness, to friendship, to all and more.
Every love story is a kind of dance.
Or - Yusuf and Nicolo live in a world where everyone has wings. It changes a lot about their world, and nothing about them.

Summary
Andy’s heart stops. All the blood leaves her face and rushes directly to her ears. The only thing she can hear is the sound of it pumping through her veins. Copley and Nile are both studying the photo closely, but Andy hardly notices them, even right beside her. All she can see is the blood, the look on her face, the tremble in her jaw as she died –
**
She is almost four thousand years old – there is quite little that feels older than her in this world, but Discord feels older. She feels ancient compared to Quynh, especially with all of the knowledge she holds that Quynh does not. “You have been withholding it from me, a carrot to keep me here so that you do not have to find a stick. It is hard to punish someone who has lost so much, is it not?”--
For five years, everything goes smoothly. Five years of Booker in exile, five years of Nile on the team, and five years of Andy grappling with her newfound mortality.
But, like every other plan they've ever had, it has to go to shit at some point, and go to shit it does.
AKA the sequel we deserved, rather than the one we got. -

Summary
“Tell me,” Nicolò says finally. “Why should I go with you, Yusuf Al-Kaysani?”
Because I have loved you for a millennium, as you have loved me, Joe thinks. Our souls know each other as the ocean knows the moon. We are in constant motion together, the push and the pull, the rise and the fall. One cannot exist without the other.
Instead, Joe manages a smile he cannot feel. “I have the keys to the car.”

Something went wrong in Merrick’s lab before Nile arrived with guns blazing. It wasn’t Andy’s bleeding mortality or Booker’s stinging betrayal.
It was Nicky, and by extension, it was Joe, too.
(The AU where the final death is not permanent. It’s a reset: it’s another chance. Nine years after Nicky’s final death, the fractured remains of the Old Guard encounter him on a job, and he’s not alone.)

Summary
“You are not alone. You’ll never be alone again. I’m with you and I’m yours, until the end.”
After the fight, and for the first time in 500 years, Andy and Quynh are left by themselves. Before finding a way to get their friends back, they need to find a safe place to rest and heal from physical and emotional wounds. This journey is long but mercifully free of trouble. Every little detail, however, is extraordinarily meaningful, given the circumstances. Here are all the things that take them by surprise, confuse them, and make them hopeful for the future.

Summary
Booker meets Nile while she is still mortal. It changes things.
Alternately:
[“Dude, you gotta help me out here,” she said again, “are you…en vie?”
The question made him laugh, which was a terrible idea. He breathed through the sudden roil of nausea and finally looked at the very determined Good Samaritan who had resolved not to leave him in peace.
“I am not dead,” Booker informed her gravely, “not yet.”]

Summary
Discord tortures Joe, Nicky, Nile, and Tuah in her bid to get her immortality back. And Joe has to give credit where it's due--she is particularly inventive and effective. Her biggest mistake, however, was assuming the immortal family's love for one another was a weakness rather than a strength.
