Summary
Nile closes the front door behind her softly as she steps out onto the porch, the wooden deck warm under her bare feet in the evening. She pushes herself up to sit on the porch wall, leaning back against one of the beams as she watches the file download on her phone screen. She has no idea what it could be. Copley just forwarded her a message straight from Booker that had just said that she may want privacy when she listens to it.
When the file finishes downloading, she taps her finger over the play button. Unable to help the slight feeling of uncertain nerves that flutter inside of her.
Her earbuds crackle as somebody moves the microphone.
“Nile,” Booker starts on the recording, his voice sounding rough and tired. “You told me before that all you wanted was to hear your mothers voice one last time. While you cannot see her again in person, I hope this brings some comfort.”

Booker had been responsible for Nile's rough introduction to immortality, to make amends, the first action of his exile is to try and bring her some peace.Series

“I just- I always thought I would be there to congratulate him myself, you know?” Nile feels Quynh nod into her neck. “I never thought he would have to go through this alone.”
“I do not think he was alone,” says Quynh, “look.”

Being immortal means that one will be forced to leave people behind as time moves on. That doesn't mean Nile can't keep an eye on them though, nor that Quynh has forgotten hers.

Summary
Throughout her years, even before her first death, she’s made a habit of cataloging the exact distance she was from her hometown of Chicago. It was her little ritual, pulling up either her phone or a map, spanning the distance with her fingers. 6,987 miles, and then 4,130 miles, 3,879 miles, 5,148 miles, on and on and on.
It hurt, but it was good too, seeing how lives kept moving, kept growing and changing. The world turned and Nile and her new family walked through it. Time like water. You’d think one could get used to physical distance.
But nothing could have really prepared her for this.A study of Nile through time.

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.
Or, Yusuf Al-Kaysani protects his sister's secret, kills zombies, and will definitely never fall in love with that cold-hearted, arrogant Nicolò di Genova.
Or, I really wanted to write Joe/Nicky Regency fic but still have them kill things. Enjoy!
