I haven't posted anything in ages because I've been working on other stuff and busy on other boring real life stuff (and also cause 2020 has made my brain smooth) but here's some assorted snippets from some WIPs

( Joe, Nicky & Nile talking religion )

( Andy & Nile after a fight scene )

I cannot stop writing team banter save me, I need to write actual plot

“Joe fought a bear for me once,” Nicky said, looking at Joe fondly. “It was very romantic. I had to put his intestines back into his chest cavity for him.”

Nile stared at both of them, and Nicky saw her expression.

“Oh, it was very stupid,” he said, but his look at Joe was sickeningly sweet. “But I thought it was romantic.”

“What was Andy doing?” Nile asked.

“She shot the bear with a flare gun til it ran away,” Joe said dryly. “It was her fault we were in Russia anyway.”

“My fault!” Andy said. “You and Nicky got us chased out of Poland! Don’t blame me, Booker suggested we go east.”

“And you suggested Russia!” Joe said. Andy crossed her arms.

“I didn’t make you fight the bear,” she said. “It was just minding its own business.”

“She’s got a point there my love,” Nicky said, putting a proprietary hand on Joe’s thigh.

I posted a fic! For The Old Guard, the comic-book Netflix movie where Charlize Theron is an ancient immortal warrior, there are canon happy ending queers, and the best action scenes. If you have Netflix you should check it out.

I loved the movie and would happily talk about it to anyone. I have so many ideas!!! I want to write like one thousand fics for it. I think it's the good intersection of a great idea, sufficiently decent execution, but still enough problems that there's things for fic to fix. (The script is not what I would describe as "good" but the concept and characters are amazing, the fight choreography is SO good)

anyway, here's the fic, enjoy!
