Summary
One hundred years, Joe thinks. His anger is still new, still fresh, like boiling lava that just erupted from a volcano. He knows time will shape it into something new, something different, that won’t weigh in his heart anymore, that won’t destroy any memory of him and Booker, something that he can live with.
But healing takes time, and they know it better than anyone else in this cruel world.~*~*~
Joe cannot understand why Nicky suggested twenty years for Booker's punishment.
The reason is hidden in their past.aka my take on the "Twenty years/One hundred years" discourse.

Summary
Then, Elisa stops the car in front of an independent house with a wide garden surrounding it. The external walls are painted in a pale yellow that, at the light of the sunset, shimmers with pinkish tones. Yusuf stares at the place where Nicolò grew up: the house is smaller than he imagined and maybe this makes it look even cozier, while the garden is impressive, if not for the size, for the number of trees that are there planted, all heavy with their summer fruits.
«Here we are. Home,» says Elisa, gesturing at the place.This is the story of Nicolò and Yusuf's first trip to Italy.
This is the story of how Yusuf discovered new ways of loving and being loved.
This is the story of how Nicolò found his family. Again.
This is the story of their new beginning.Last (?) part of "And a wall between us"

Summary
"Wait, hold up a sec. So if you were around before them -- how old are you?"
The men all go quiet, and Nile wonders if she's just committed some kind of immortal faux pas. "It is irrelevant," Quỳnh finally says. "Old enough to know there is no point looking backwards."
"You're the oldest," Nile murmurs in awe. Older than the Crusades. How much older? A few hundred years more? A thousand?
"No," Nicky says quietly. "Not the oldest."
Canon-divergent AU. Five hundred years ago, they lost Andromache to the sea. Now Quỳnh leads the team, a new immortal just woke up, and some pharmaceutical company is getting a little too interested in their business.

Summary
Nicky hadn't meant to fall asleep in his office. He also hadn't meant to catch someone in the act of stealing from the museum where he works.
And he really, really hadn't meant to help the thief.
Sometimes, though, the unexpected happens.

or, indiana jones-inspired au in which nicky looks at a gang of literal art thieves and thinks "they seem cool i'll join them". shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Prince Yusuf and his sister Nile are Givers. With a touch, they can bring a dead body back to life. The boy without a name is a Reaper. He only has to touch a living body to end that life. Neither Givers nor Reapers can die by normal means, but that doesn't mean they cannot feel pain.
The boy without a name is sent to kill Yusuf, but nothing can kill a Giver. He's captured and imprisoned in a gilded cage meant to keep him safe and confined as the war wages on. Nile is meant to be his guard and guide as Yusuf returns to fight at the front lines. But soon, the boy learns that there is a far deadlier plot a foot amongst Yusuf and Nile's people than him. And he must decide if his loyalty is to the homeland that turned him into a monster, or to Yusuf and Nile who have only ever called him 'friend.'
