The first time I watched The Old Guard, so many lifetimes ago, I’m pretty sure I missed Joe’s primal, guttural scream when Keane killed Nicky because I was busy doing the exact same thing.
Joe in the early days of travelling with Nicky, thinking about how hot Nicky’s ass looks underneath all that armour but also whether it’d be a good idea to fuck a Catholic
The Old Guard + John Mulaney Quotes (4/4)
Andy being her cynical self:
Joe about Booker’s betrayal:
Nile jumping out of a moving car with nowhere to escape to:
Quynh in the iron coffin:
Nile about Joe and Nicky:
Immediately after the flashback where Lykon dies:
Joe and Nicky after Merrick says anything:
Booker coping (badly) with immortality:
um so that moment where joe’s hovering over nicky to make sure he’s okay after being shot in the mouth and then nicky wakes up and he’s so relieved and his necklace is dangling down out of his shirt between them and nicky DOESN’T grab it to pull him down for a kiss I mean lost opportunities man
Game…(x)
god, bored, seeing that big nosed gay little priest and deciding to put the hottest man alive on his path for shits and giggles: this is gonna be so funny
Nicky & Joe
“they tried to kill each other” yes and? do you have a problem with true love
ID. a tag reading “it’s called foreplay.” End ID.
Kids!JoeNicky (I tried at least xD)
Nicolo : I’m going to drag you through hell .
Yusuf : Does that mean we can hold hands?
bring me the sunflower
Yusuf/Nicolò, Royal AU + Arranged Marriage, Explicit (wip)
“You look rather gloomy for a man on their wedding day, my friend.”
Yusuf does not turn around at the sound of Sébastien’s voice, but he allows his shoulders to relax for what feels like the first time in months. He hasn’t had a single moment for himself since he set foot on this cursed island, and today… today he’s supposed to marry a complete stranger in order to finally put an end to a senseless war started by angry old men when Yusuf was but a baby at his mother’s breast. He feels exhausted to his bones, and he has been trying very hard not to let it show.
“I am pleased that all parties have agreed to the treaty, of course,” Yusuf says, his voice so purposely solemn that Sébastien cracks a lopsided smile and bumps playfully against his shoulder. “I just wish there was another way.”The death of King Ibrahim al-Kaysani and his eldest son and heir put an end to the decades-old conflict between the kingdoms of Mahdia and Genoa.
Mahdia was victorious but barely, and to secure that tenuous peace, the kingdoms of the Long Sea came together to marry King Ibrahim’s remaining living son and Regent, Yusuf, to a member of Genoa’s royal family.
The only problem is: there were no daughters available.

My new multi-chaptered JoeNicky is an Arranged Marriage + Royal AU and it’s a gift for my dear @lisagarlandd! <3 <3 <3
(please, mind the tags and have fun!)
Why?
Booker gave them a curious look, amused even. Well, with Joe topless, barefoot and carrying what appears to be an explosion of tule and a pair of stripper heels, and Nicky half awake and high, in a beaded 1920s dress, Joe’s shirt and Joe’s shoes — they made quite a walk of shame.“Don’t,” Joe said as Booker opened his mouth.—————

The SluttyPrinceNicky!AU (we gotta come up with an official name) is created by one of my favourite writers @mehmeh who have imagined a torrid, intensely sexy dynamic between slutty Prince!Nicky and Bodyguard!Joe in a series of snips on Discord (based on this sexy moody moodboard by Maea) that I hope one day she would publish on AO3.
