All on my own
Saturday, April 20th, 2024 01:18 pmFandom: The Old Guard
Series: None
Rating: Teen & Up
Wordcount: 20 103
Pairing(s): Immortal Husbands
Character(s): Niccolo Di Genova, Yusuf Al Kaysani, Sébastien Le Livre, and appearance by other TOG characters.
Genre: Family crisis.
Trigger Warning(s): Discussions of depression, self harm, suicidal thinking and suicide attempt. Brief allusion to genocides. Instances of homophobia (related) and islamophobia (on screen and discussed)
Summary: Closing his eyes, Niccolò leans his head back against the sofa and wonders how today went to shit so fast. They were supposed to have a nice day together. Celebrate their first anniversary with Sébastien by having him finally meet Andy and Quynh in person—Yusuf’s parents usually aren’t free this time of the year, but they’re coming to visit during Sébastien’s Christmas break. There was going to be Niccolò’s best risotto and an apple cake, and it was going to be great. Instead, now, they have this.
Or: the Al-Kaysani-Genovesi-Le Livre household's very harrowing day.
Secondly: there are a number of phrases in foreign languages in this fic, pretty much all of them coming from online dictionaries. I tried to make it so you wouldn't need translations to understand the general meaning, but if anyone who has actual knowledge of these languages wants to offer some input on how to make them sound more natural, I'll be happy to listen to any suggestion!
Lastly: this fic comes with a number of warnings, which you've probably seen in the tags. Most of them apply either to Nicky or to baby!Booker, which may make them extra upsetting for you. The story has a happy ending and no one is seriously hurt during it (present time or flashbacks) but I encourage you to apply caution with the themes if you know they resonate with you. I'm happy to answer any question you may have about fic content, here or on my writing tumblr: @terresdebrumestories.
EDITED TO ADD: NOW THERE'S ART!!
Thank you so much to thesunwillart@tumblr for this gorgeous comic illustrating Yusuf and Nico's quiet moment in the bathroom! I'm screaming so hard about it :D
