For the ages are in thy keeping by ao3 Hyperboloids
Summary: After a few weeks spent on sea shores, sun-soaked and idle, Nile returns from a morning hike with newfound resolve.
She wants to go to university.
It isn’t necessarily surprising, but it leaves Andy slightly shaken. She’d assumed they’d go back to business as usual, Copley a reliable intel source. She had started organising all the required safehouses, identity papers and currencies. She’d never accounted for any change of plans other than this, the mission Andy thought would be shared with Nile, now.
But then she recalls Nile saying, “you’re going to spend it with us, Andy,” and she wasn’t referring to their mission, ultimately. She was referring to her life.
Andy had never thought of herself as selfish, but this is a reminder that against her centuries of experiences, Nile only has a couple decades.
And so maybe what Andy needs is to not call the shots, but instead let Nile go first and choose their next path forward.

What i loved: this is a fic focused on Nile and Andy relationship and i just feel i have to recommend it because is beautiful. We have both povs in the story, Nile’s and Andy’s and they are so well achieve, they make you feel what they feel and think. The progression of their relationship is so gratifying, i love the way they get to know and support each other. The family moments are very soft and natural. And we have a beautiful andromaquynh background. Andy and Quynh getting to deal with Quynh’s trauma. How they try to move on and forgive. The texting. Quynh appearing to help Andy in the right moment. Nile’s theory about Andy’s mortality/immortality.
