Summary
Ten days after yeeting herself through the penthouse window in a grisly embrace with a dying Merrick, Nile set a spring loaded window punch against the tempered glass of the penthouse skylight and set it off. It shattered inward with a musical shimmer and both of them tensed. Copley had deactivated the alarm system, but their muscles still clenched in anticipation for a second until the time for an alarm to sound expired.
Andy anchored the rope ladder and threw it into the skylight shaft. “I go first.”
“Right, boss.”
. . . . . .The team is safe, but when they escaped they left behind the tissue samples Dr. Kozak sliced out of Joe and Nicky. That's evidence Copley can't erase by using a computer. An attempt to find the tissue samples turns up information instead, and sends the team on a search to find and destroy the proof of their existence. But there's more proof than they know, because this wasn't the first time Booker betrayed them . . .

Summary
Nile asked him to do better, she wanted that for him. Maybe she thought he was going to self-shame himself for the 100 years he was away from the others and expect to survive. He only lasted 15 years, and the next 85 were going to be hell. Maybe this wasn’t going to be too bad if he was going to actually do something about his exile. Given that he ended up where he was, he could at least try and go up from here.
A look into Booker's exile as he spends 100 years on his own, battling his inner demons, and trying to re-piece his life back together again

Summary
Booker travels to New Orleans after encountering Quynh, hoping to live out the rest of his exile in peace. Unfortunately, someone has other plans for him.
Waking up in a cell, Booker sees a girl walk through the cell wall and wonders if perhaps the alcohol is causing hallucinations or if he's being haunted by actual ghosts now instead of just his metaphorical ones.
Inspired by a kink meme prompt here.

Summary
All Booker really wanted was a one-night stand, something to help him forget about his exile, if only briefly. Instead, he somehow gets roped into dinner, too, and that’s all too close to first date territory for his liking. Then, suddenly, there’s Nicky, gazing down at him from a portrait on this woman’s wall and Booker does the only thing he can think of: run.
In other words, Booker’s date is a painter... unfortunately for him, she seems to have some familiar muses.

Summary
James Copley has his hands quite full handling a group of immortal mercenaries—including keeping tabs on Booker. A task that is considerably easier since the two have somehow fallen into a romantic relationship.
While Booker is still hurting from the consequences of his betrayal, James finds the Frenchman's sarcastic snark charming. The two widowers are kindred souls in increasingly similar ways as they work to redeem themselves and their actions.
However, when Copley is confronted by a face from the past, he is surprised to witness how protective immortals can be of their family and in turn how protective he is of them.
(This takes place after the film, in a nebulous time before Quynh's reappearance. No major spoilers for The Old Guard: Force Multiplied)
