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
Future!fic. Humanity has spread out amongst the stars, and Nile and her team are struggling to figure out where they fit in: out in the furthest reaches of the galaxy, or home on Earth with those who still remain. Dreams of a new immortal don't exactly simplify matters.
"Think it's time to get the band back together?" Nile asks.
"As if Nicky or Joe would let us collect the new kid without them." Booker regards her steadily. "Think it'll be enough to get Quỳnh back on a ship?"
"Guess we'll find out. Because…"
She hesitates, as though saying it aloud will make it too real. So Booker says it for her.
"Because that desert was nowhere on Earth," he finishes. "And the girl in our dreams wasn't human."

Summary
“Only four of you will pass into the heart of a Jaeger,” she says, voice clean and cold as stone. “And even then, the chances are that three of you will not live to see the next year. Do with that what you will.”
Andy stops before Joe, meets his eyes and does not flinch.
“But don’t you dare not give this fight anything less than your all,” she says.
From beyond her shoulder is Nicky, his face blank, so far removed from the feral fighting thing Joe tangled swords with last night. His impassivity bites through the bone of Joe more than anything ever has, or ever will.
The lightning-bright blood of a kaiju is child’s play to the fight in his eyes and this, not the beasts from the electric deep, will be my undoing.
(Or the Pacific Rim AU no one asked for)
