psocopteraI wrote a thing: Old Guard gen, 9500 words, Nile & Andy, background Joe/Nicky. (The rest of the tags: Found Family, Team Bonding, immortality lessons, Climate Change, mixed feelings about the Anthropocene)
All Things Shall Perish on AO3. It's about civilizational collapse and planning to outlive the Industrial Revolution, although all that actually happens on-screen is a road trip.
If you haven't watched the Old Guard but are curious about this story anyways, here's a brief but highly spoilery summary of the movie/explanation of who these characters are behind the cut. The Old Guard is about a team of immortal warriors (Andy, over 6000 years old, Joe and Nicky, from the Crusades, and Napoleonic-era Booker) finding and recruiting a new immortal, Nile (a US Marine). Booker is not handling immortality well and betrays the team to a pharma company that wants to study them, but Nile rescues them and Booker is exiled from the team for a hundred years. It is revealed that Andy has lost her immortality and is now vulnerable to injury (and presumably aging).
