This is a super fun Leverage/Old Guard crossover where the Leverage crew is in the process of taking down Merrick when Joe and Nicky are brought into the lab.

The Old Guard

the beautiful game by apocryphal
"We are embarking on a pilgrimage, Nile," Joe says, with none of the irony of someone who has genuinely pilgrimaged over multiple continents. "Together, the four of us, we journey with the rest of the world to a common ground. A sacred ground. A place where brothers and sisters of all backgrounds gather together to watch the most fantastic displays of athleticism known to man—"

"Wait, I thought the Olympics weren't for two more years?" Nile interrupts, confused. This is adorable.

hold it like a treasure by biblionerd07
This is a really lovely coda for the movie from Nile's POV.

Three Immortals and a Puppy Walk Into a Bar by Survivah
"Honestly, she’s only 90% sure that Nicky is the white guy and Joe is the Middle Eastern guy. She’s been waiting for somebody to drop a name to 100% confirm it, but Andy just calls them 'Joeandnicky', and they call each other a lot of stuff in a bunch of different languages that are probably pet names." Nile, Joe, and Nicky dogsit. Oh heart.

The Old Guard

what we let fall by kaydeefalls
At some point, it stops being startling to find an immortal warrior in his living room. James does wish they would learn to call ahead, though.

That's right, it's the Copley-centric found family fic everyone's been clamoring for! I enjoyed this.

A Change is as Good as a Rest by Siria
Roy called Keeley and this time she picked up. "Hey babe!" she said, and Roy wasn't sure he'd ever get used to how it felt to hear her voice and remember her smile and know that she was in love with him. "You having fun?"

"Jamie Tartt's out in the garden," Roy said evenly, lying back on the bed. Jamie had started talking about how he needed somewhere with good light to take some pictures for Instagram, just to maintain the brand, yeah?, and Roy had tuned out long before Jamie produced one of those stupid fucking selfie sticks. "Why is Jamie Tartt in the garden of the villa I rented for my first proper holiday in for-fucking-ever?" Jamie joins Roy in Marbella at Keeley's direction. This is hilarious and sweet.

Thoughtful, meditative look at Nile settling in with the crew.

Booker helps Nile deal with grief for her family. This is really lovely.

The Old Guard
remember me for centuries by smilebackwards
"Quickly. Up," the man at Joe's side says, lifting beneath Joe's elbow, and Joe doesn't know him but somehow he thinks, I'd follow you anywhere, and then he gets up and he does.

Or: the one where Joe has amnesia but he and Nicky are still devoted husbands. This is achingly lovely.

we got brighter lights back home by grydo2life
Really lovely slice of life with Nile spending some downtime with Joe and Nicky. <3
