for this ask game: andromaquynh and 4, 12, and 31?
Thanks so much for telling me which ask meme this was for xD
- First impression of each other?
They see each other in their dreams, so what the first impression is is kind of vague :D but I like to imagine that Quynh considers Andy her personal goddess before they meet, and Andy is just glad to have finally found someone as long-lived as herself.
Once they actually meet irl: idk whether Andy might consider Quynh weak for giving up, or whether she complety understands the sentimen? And Quynh's first impression of Andy would definitely be annoying persistance xD
...Was it love at first sight?
I don't think so... I mean, I don't think love at first sight is much of a thing anyway, more infatuation at first sight that can be proven right when it turns into love later on. But I don't think it was that for them either, nothing romantic just a near instant companionship, knowing they are the only two of their kind. The romance comes later :D
- Is there a wedding? What was the proposal like? Any kind of honeymoon?
Ohhhhh many wedding ceremonies, definitely!!! I actually wrote one on Ao3 here that @jackwolfskid made the artwork for, and Iq
know there are many other good fics with their wedding/bonding ceremonies through the ages, might be persuaded to make a rec list for @andromaquynh-ficrecs if anyone asks :D
I think Quynh would be the first to propose, more close to a culture that had such ceremonies, to Andy it's more of an she already knows they're in love and will stay together, she doesn't need a speech or a ring to prove it... but she'll glady give that to Quynh when she asks. And as for honeymoons, idk whether they took an actual vacation the first time around, but I can definitely see them planning for some free time after or around their other ceremonies!
- Do they finish each other’s sentences? Pick up any phrases or habits from each other? Know when the other is hiding something?
Definitely!!! They've known each other for so long, they're perfectly in tune with each other (another part of the absolute Tragic of Quynh's fate, losing their great rapport... But I do think they'd get back to it sooner or later ignoring that they might not have the time if Andy stays mortal we only acknowledge immortal Andromache in this house), they don't always finish each other's sentences, they let the other talk without interrupting, but they can communicate without words and when they need or want to have a conversation more quickly, everyone watching them would be completely confused by the half-sentences and obscure references they easily understand :D
They learn parts of the other's language, Quynh adapts Andromache's proud posture and braided hairstyles and Andy learns to love horses from Quynh, and while they are both skilled at lying, hiding and evading, it's near impossible to keep a secret from the other (not that they'd even try very often)
Thanks so much for this ask, it was very fun to think about my favourite gals again :D
Okay to reblog!

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.
Rated: General Audiences | Words: 13225 | Post Canon
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.

You know my name by @kaydeefalls (ao3 kaydeefalls)
Summary: "Don't let the double-ohs bully, browbeat, or seduce you into giving them special privileges," Copley did warn her, once.
(James Bond AU; Andy is 007, Quỳnh is Q, and she can't work out why Agent 007 keeps bringing her elaborate gifts. She can't possibly want an exploding pen that badly.)
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences | Words: 4605 | Alternate Universe: James Bond
What i loved: Quyn centric and point of view. Quynh being in a power rol. The relationship Quynh has with her agents, how she thinks about them and make them compete in her mind to have the place of her favorite. Lykon! Andy sending presents to Quynh and being iconic in how she wants to change the way the agents work. How well the alternate universe is written. 
(I read that there is going to be more of this story and i’m hoping for it because i would love to keep reading about this world ☺)

gather your ashes by ao3 coruscant
Summary: In a world where people's souls walk beside them as daemons, Andy loses more than her heart when she's separated from Quỳnh.
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences | Words: 8982 | Alternate Universe: Daemons.
What i loved: such a good alternate universe fic, that follows canon in a way that makes it seem perfectly fitting. The angst!! Lot of feelings!! The daemons are so good characterized and i love the relationship every immortal have with their own daemon. Nile! ♥ Andy and Quynh connection. Andy connecting with all deamons. The happy reunion and happy ending.

all that you’ve given me by @rupzydaisy (ao3 rupzydaisy)
Summary: "Will that help?" asks Andromache. 
Quỳnh grits her teeth. "No." 
The corners of Andromache’s lips are pulled downwards. "What will?" It always takes Quỳnh by surprise, to understand how well Andromache can read her. They had not travelled together for long, not in comparison to the vastness of her life. But their companionship had been more binding than any of Quỳnh’s familial ties. More than enough to step beyond a common language, to share the best and worst parts of herself with Andromache, and in turn find a love and devotion so deep to wade into while knowing she wouldn’t lose herself. 
It’s how she knows Andromache won't say no. 
And Quỳnh knows she shouldn’t say it, that this kind of peace couldn’t be gained from swinging her fists around. But she says it anyway. 
"Fight me."  
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences | Words: 2554 | Pre Canon
What i loved: how soft it is. Quynh being honest and asking what she needs, and Andy doing what Quynh needs to in a way to try to help her. The way they trust each other to express their feelings and share their pain from the battles, the losts and their life.

Down The Brilliant Dream by @cactusdragon517 (ao3 MayQueen517)
Summary:
Quynh has been dreaming of someone for all of her life. It’s only when she seeks out the source of these dreams that things begin to change.
Featuring art by the amazing iwritesometimes!
===
Quỳnh follows the line of her hand, looking for something, for anything, to tell her what Nile could be seeing. She sees the flicker of something at the corner of her eyes, the grey of impure steel and the inky blue-black of the deep sea where Quỳnh used to fish with her family.
The glimpse of pale skin that Quỳnh can see is less surprising for the shade and more for the lack of blood on those high cheekbones. The crown that Quỳnh manages to see is dark and spiked, glimmering menacingly, as though it were a predator waiting to ambush an unsuspecting hunter.
The woman’s eyes are intent as she looks straight across the battlefield, straight to Nile. Quỳnh moves to pull her sword, watching the woman’s gaze slide to her, staring intently. Her hand lets go of the blade, struck by the face that has haunted her dreams for years since childhood.
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings/Tags: Canon levels of violence, Inspired by Hades and Persephone (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore), self-created mythology, Canon Queer Relationship, Alternate Universe - Mythology, Non-Linear Narrative, Celeste and Lykon get guest starring roles because I love them your honor, Families of Choice, Declarations Of Love, Oracle!Nile, Big Bang 2021
Characters of Focus: Andromache, Quynh, Joe, Nicky, Booker, Nile, Original Characters, Lykon, Celeste
Side Pairings: Joe/Nicky, Nile/Original Female Character
Word Count: 29,309 words
Self-rec! Mythology is one of my favorite things ever and to translate that into this fic was an absolute joy and a labor of love. I’m most proud of how Quynh comes to change her mind as well as showing Andy finding joy in her life again. I wrote an Orpheus/Eurydice twist on a Joe/Nicky fic and knew that I wanted to write a Hades/Persephone take on AndromaQuynh.
_____
I’ve read your fic, so let me tell you and everyone about how much i loved it because is definitely one of my favs:
The mythology is so good developed and the characters so well written! Adventure, brave and soft Quynh. Andy as the guide of the underworld, iconic! A soft guide with a big heart, tired of being alone and carrying the mounrning of humanity.  All the complexity of having that role! Quynh reminding Andy how to enjoy life again and how kind she can be in her role. All the soft andromaquynh moments. How they find a way to be together. How you write their points of view, their feelings and thoughts! Amazing! Great supporting characters with actually good storylines: Lykon and Celeste!! I love everything about them in this fic, such a good characterization. And their friendship with Andy is beautiful. And Nile, Sebastian, Joe & Nicky!! Also Quynh’s and Nile’s friendship ♥
And the art is beautiful!! So much talent!

I'd save you but the world's bent by @rhubarbdreams  (ao3  Highsmith)
Summary: "Until the end." It's trite. She says it anyway.
Andromache's eyes never leave her face as Quỳnh rises to her feet and approaches. She thought she'd be the startled and fearful animal here, its soft underbelly trembling in the wind of change, but Andromache looks terrified.
And Quỳnh, well, she wants to touch her arm or pet at her hair, much shorter than when they last saw each other. There's parts of Andromache's history she has yet to hear. Wants to hear. Wants all of the stories, over and over again, until she can't distinguish them from her own.
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences | Words: 1423 | Post Canon
What i loved: the emotional and soft andromaquynh reunion. The parellel about saying their iconic quote. Quynh’s pov! Her feelings and thoughts about her trauma and the reunion with the immortal family.

A year without dying by @praycambrian (ao3 praycambrian)
Summary: One morning, I went to the laundry room and you were waiting for me there. You, my own, my other limb: the face I know best of all time’s many faces.
After a mission gone wrong sidelines her at Nile’s family farm, Andy resigns herself to healing at the apparently glacial pace of a normal human being. Then Quỳnh shows up: gorgeous, immortal, inscrutable.
A road trip isn’t going to solve all of their problems, but Andy’s willing to give it a try.
Illustrations by @dylogger
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences | words: 13889 | Post Canon
What i loved: so many feelings!! Andy’s and Quyn’s reunion. All the pain and the grief between Andy and Quynh, and how they get to deal with it. The road trip. How is written from andy's pov like she is the one telling the story, so we can see what she thinks and feel. Lucretia and Nile, they have great interventions. Also how beautiful the art is. All the draws are fantastic and fit the fic so wonderful.

hold me tight, fear me not by @rupzydaisy (ao3 rupzydaisy)
Summary: The sea-witch stares so deep into her eyes that Andromache feels a tightness squeezing against her from the air around her.
"You’ll have your chance to take your beloved from me. If you can hold her through the night, in every form that she passes through. If you can manage that, then your claim on her will break mine. You will have her back.”
“Deal.” Andromache agrees between thumping heartbeats. “Tomorrow night?”
“Agreed. Tomorrow night it is.”
There's not enough air in her lungs to sigh in relief, but there's also no reason to linger in the sea-witch's presence when she had what she came for. Backing off, she mounts her horse in one swift move.
The witch appraises her slowly, taking in the white knuckles wrapped around both the reins and the axe handle. Her pearly-toothed smile widens, even as another ribbon of seaweed falls away and hits the ground.
“And know that when you lose, I’ll put you in the water too. Deep where there’s no light. And seven years’ hence, I’ll be able to walk inland so much further with your fiery heart.”
Rated: General Audiences | Words: 12077 - Chapters: 5 | Another Universe: Folk tale
What i loved: such an original story. The folk tale in it is great and i like how the story develop through it, making connections with the original story. The parallels of Quynh with the ocean. The flashback of how Andy and Quynh met and fall in love. Lot of angst and feelings, but a very important happy ending!! How all the characters appear in some way and kind of help Andy. Lykon and Andy frienship. Andromaquynh love being the strongest and overcoming all the obstacles.

Some invisible string (tying you to me) by paupaupi
rated: T
Wordcount: 27k
Andy/Quynh, background Joe/Nicky
Summary: it takes some time for Quynh to realise that the mysterious woman she likes is Andy, the new work partner of her friends Joe and Nile. And then, they become roommates.
A really sweet romcom-like modern AU with coffee-shops, firefighters, roommates and strangers to friends to lovers! A lot of nicely thought through mutual pining, different conflicts and of course the romantic getting together. Complete in 19 chapters on ao3, definitely worth a read!
The author is on tumblr as @cryhardanddanceharder
