Hi anon, I have read MANY good Joe/Nicky fics, or at least fics I have enjoyed! I am not entirely certain why you have come to me with this, I am after all just a humble fanartist who rambles a lot, BUT I am nothing if not opinionated so I will happily provide :D

He knows what Genoa does to Nicky.
Nicky and Joe visit Genoa in the modern-day, post-canon. This one is one of my favourites. It is sweet and introspective and beautifully, poetically written. When I’m looking for a fic of these two, unless it’s an AU of some sort I just really want something that makes me feel their age, the depth of their love, how incredible and breathtaking it all is and this one definitely does all of that. I don’t have smarter words here, just read and bask in the beauty of it all. Mild sexual content but it’s not very explicit.

The making and the breaking of bread, throughout the centuries.
The first time Nicky bakes bread for them to share — thick, rounded puffs of aish baladi, prepared with the utmost concentration and care — the sun has begun to set in Cairo, staining the sky the same vivid colour as the tangerines that grow ripe and heavy on the trees outside their door.
A very fun and sweet look at how Joe and Nicky live through the centuries, as demonstrated by different moments of Nicky baking bread. I think the characterization is spot on and I think again you really feel how long they have lived and loved and just the act of baking bread for someone you love... I love that as a concept. Has some sexual content also, again not super explicit, but just a heads up.

This is a language no one else in the world is fluent in: the glint in Nicky’s eye, the unbearable gentleness with which he pushes Yusuf flat against the bed.

Joe and Nicky, from 1099 to 2019, through continents and dialects.
This one again is a collection of different moments through the centuries, but this time the angle is the languages they speak. yes, I might have a favourite type of fic for them lol. This one is very good however just both as writing in general and as fic of them specifically. I feel like this too captures the characters and their dynamic as well as their age and complexity really well. And this one also has implied sexual content.

“What are you doing?” he mouthed into Nicky’s thigh.
“Watching you sleep.”
“What else are you doing?”
“Rewriting King Lear,” Nicky said. His voice was plagued with distraction. Joe pulled himself up enough to see the page; Act II ran red with slashed words. His lover’s eyes were the color of the sky just before a tornado touched down.
This one is post canon and deals directly with the aftermath of the movie. Nicky is troubled by bookers betrayal and worried his and Joe’s intimacy is going to push Nile away like it did with Booker. Joe is worried about Nicky worrying about that and Joe is worried about Andy being mortal but not dealing with it very well. This fic is Joe’s pov and I think it explores his relationship with Andy in a really interesting way as well as how Nile fits into their lives and into the team post-movie. I like how their chemistry is written and I really like the Joe worrying about Andy angle, I feel like there isn’t enough of that in the fandom so far. This one has multiple explicit sex scenes however so that’s something to be aware of, kids don’t click on it.

Joe didn’t think about the World Cup or Lord of the Rings as they pulled up the long gravel path to their destination. He didn’t even register his first sighting of the windswept cottage in Scarborough. He didn’t remember parking the car. He barely acknowledged anything outside of Nicky, opening the door, wrapping a warm, grounding hand around his and leading them up to the house. Joe was more tired than he had ever been, he was convinced of it. All 953 years, he’d never been this exhausted, this broken, this hurt.
The weathered old door closed behind the lot of them, and Joe heard Andy’s long, tired sigh as she flicked on the light. Nile dragged her feet to the kitchen counter and leaned heavily against it, running her bloody hands down her face. Nicky had done his best to pick the glass out of her braids, but she still looked… well, she looked like she’d jumped out of a penthouse window.
She was going to be good for the team. She wouldn’t be like…
Booker hovered halfway between Andy and the door, as if he didn’t know if he was supposed to be there. Joe watched him, his brother, standing there with that haunted look in his eye, and it lanced through him like a blade.
This one is also post-movie and dealing with the fallout, though this is much more about Booker and his actions. Definitely not very kind to Booker this one but it’s justified. I liked that Nicky gets the furious anger moment with Booker for hurting Yusuf and I like that Yusuf gets to cry and also be comforted by his loving husband who would fight the world to keep him safe. Everyone hug joe 2020. No sexual themes in this one so everyone go ahead freely lol.

There are a lot more recs I could have put here and can share further if you or anyone else still interested! I don’t think I’ve ever actually written a ficred list before, feels good! If any of the authors who are here and not tagged are on tumblr and want to be tagged please message me i don’t know who you are! Also if I did something wrong let me know and there are some genres of fics that I purposefully did not add here like pwp stuff or aus but I guess drop me a line if you’re interested in those also

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAMJOON
Yusuf: *Has men and women throwing themselves at him, due to him being both a snack and an intelligent, charming academic*
Nicolo: *Unwashed invader. Holy trash panda, full of rage and gay sin. Voted most likely to vibe with jesus*
Yusuf (watching nicolo find the only rock in the whole desert and fall over it) : I want that one.
Kidnapped as a baby by Hades and forced to live as a mortal, Jungkook has to go through a rite of passage to prove himself worthy of living with the gods on Mount Olympus. Enter Yoongi, the sarcastic damsel and minion of Hades that throws all of Jungkook’s plans awry.

Wondrous by heungtansonyeondan (bangnana)
I’m writing the obligatory Old Guard/Pacific Rim AU Crossover fic, and here’s what I’ve got so far.
- Andy is Raleigh in this senario (broody, slight depressed, lost-a-loved-one pretty boy? Yeah, that’s Andy to a T)
- Nile is Mako (because of course she is)
- Andy lost Quynh in a mission, in which Quynh was trapped inside the other half of a Jeager when they were attacked, and Quynh sunk to the bottom of the sea in it. After which Andy leaves to go off to the coastal wall project.
- Andy and Quynh’s Jeager is called Labrys
- Joe and Nicky’s Jeager is called The Crusader (on second thought, no, bad idea, let’s name it something else, The Scimitar? The Longsword? OR The Mouse?)
- Joe and Nicky are the Kaidanovskys in this scenario, (the married Russian Jeager pilots)
- Keane is Hannibal Chau (because he fits, take a moment to think about it)
- Merrick and Dr. Kozack take the places of Herman and Newton respectively. (because I said so, that’s why. No, I don’t take criticism)
- Lykon is Marshal Pentecost (shut up I’m a f*cking genius)
- Nile is his ward who teams up with Andy to pilot the defunct Labrys (because hell YEAH)
- Booker and Copley are the Hansens, and they pilot the Jeager called the Frenchman (yes, I know I’m a genius)
- The fight scene Andy and Nile had in the plane, is now the training/fight scene between Raleigh and Mako - Quynh still comes back at the end of course! She survived due to exposure to Kaiju Blue (Kaijui blood) - I need someone to be Tendo and I’m blanking out here. - The highlight of this is that Andy and Nile are drift compatible (literally every character is with a drift compatible partner in this AU) - Does anyone die? I’m still working that out
- Andy and Booker still have the Raleigh/Chuck showdown, naturally
- The Jeager Program is now called The Old Guard program, (obviously) Got any ideas? lay them on me.
Someone: yeah it was so sad when this character died
Me, who’s already read 15 fix-it fics and no longer can tell the difference between canon and fanon: when they what
