The Old Guard WIPs & Other Wednesday Updates
I kinda had a fandom fugue state last week, and wrote 10.2k of fic in like five days. I think I averaged over 2k a day, not even counting stuff I wrote and then eventually had to cut. Whenever I have a run of writing a lot in a short period of time I always feel wierd afterwards because, like, I can do +2k a day, I just did, why aren't I doing it now? and the obvious answer is "because that's unsustainable and you have life things you need to focus on" but that doesn't always make the feeling stop.
I'm very proud of the fic I finished. It was a lot of work and research, and I think what came out is really good.

I'm also working on some other things. I have some equality auction pieces I'm working on and need to get to the recipients, and some original wips, and some hockey things but I am definitely keeping my Old Guard wips open in tabs. Here's a snippet from one:

"I didn't realise you had extras," Nile said slowly. "I thought it was, you know, as old as you."
Andy chuckled.
"There's a specialist in Germany, who makes our weapons. He thinks we do historical reenactment." She said dryly.
Nicky gestured with his sword, smiling.
"Besides, I couldn't have a thousand year old sword! It would have rusted." He said. Joe lowered his own sword, and gave him a look.
"Okay, and also I threw mine in the ocean." Nicky added, chagrined.
"You threw your sword in the ocean?" Nile asked. Andy snorted
"Yes, in," Nicky said, snapping his fingers, trying to remember. “At Kish. It's in Iran now." He paused. "It was a romantic gesture!"
Neither Andy nor Joe looked impressed.
'It was the first time Yusuf said he loved me," Nicky said. "I got carried away."
"Carried away!" Joe said, throwing his hands in the air. "Pride of Sicily, terror of Edessa, he hears I love him and loses his mind."
"Hey, I had to wait a long time! It was two years!" Nicky said, grinning like this was a familiar disagreement. "I said I love you the first night we spent together!"
"In Genovese!" Joe said. "I didn't know what you were saying!"
Nile made eye contact with Andy, as Nicky made a sound like he was wounded, and Andy grinned.
"We got him a new sword," she said dryly.
"It was very nice," Nicky said, turning towards them. "They'd invented some new metalwork by then, it was much better. That old thing can stay in the ocean."
