I've read about half the stories so far, and these are the ones that have resonated with me.

All the stories (and the gorgeous art) can be found at: The Old Guard Reverse Bang 2022

Title: Through the Ages Series by lilolilyrae, Art by Nele
Summary: Quynh is taken away in the iron coffin, but her immortal companions are still trying to get to her in time. A rescue is a team effort.
Rec: Andy/Quynh, Joe & Nicky - Canon divergence AU where the boys arrive in time to stop the ship (by sinking it) from carrying Quynh away and all three work to free Quynh from the iron maiden. Tense and action filled. I could feel all of Andy's distress.

Title: Autumn 1994 by Ignisentis, Art by Psyclo
Summary: When an innocent bystander saves Joe's life at the cost of his own, both Joe and Nicky have to deal with the aftermath, physically and psychologically. But life is never as simple as it seems, and it turns out the bystander isn't so innocent after all.
Rec: Joe/Nicky - The gorgeous artwork by is a comic and the author has fleshed it out with a wonderful story, bringing it all together beautifully.

Title: Spice Trails by quincette, Art by Aivelin
Summary: Nicky is on a quest to fool the oldest tongue in the world. Joe is all to happy to assist.
Rec: The story is the journey from where they were 'vacationing' to that meeting in Marrakesh with Booker and Andy... and how Nicky had hoped to fool Andy along the way as he picks up the ingredients to make baklava.

Title: Brethren Shield In Danger's Hour by addyke, Art by Giò
Summary: April 1912: Joe and Nicky are living in Manhattan, and waiting for Booker to join them in New York after eighteen months apart. Booker is traveling across the Atlantic on the maiden voyage of the SS Titanic. Then the unimaginable happens to Booker's ship, and Joe and Nicky despair that they may have lost him forever.
Rec: Anything to do with the Titanic is always harrowing, but in this story there is also the fear from Booker, Joe, and Nicky of Booker being lost at sea, just like Quynh.

Title: With You Always by totalnerdatheart, Art by krimsnkrams
Summary: Joe meets Nicky on the football field in the fall. Yusuf meets Nicolo on the battlefield. Two tales of love.
Rec: It was interesting reading these two stories interwoven, depicting a magical AU and a modern AU, and although the end reveal came as no great surprise, it was so sweet and enjoyable.
