Description:

ok so how familiar are we all with the Old Guard?consider this: DH protagonists Old Guard AU.

If you're unfamiliar, the Old Guard is basically abt a group of immortals who save ppl. that's... pretty much it. but it's a really good movie you should watch it.

um so the Outsider (we're counting him now) is the oldest of them, coming from Ancient Greece. Daud's like... around the 1000s, idk where he's from. Corvo is vaguely regency era (early 1800s) and Emily is Victorian era (1837-1901). Billie's from the modern day.

Emily is still Corvo's biological daughter and they're a very very rare case of someone related to someone else also having the immortality. However they both had to watch Jess die while being both immortal themselves ):

this au is actually funny bc skinny boy outsider is an immortal warrior. delilah can be renaissance era bc uh... painting.

um maybe delilah was involved w them (before corvo) but she died (bc again for those who are unaware, they're immortal but their immortality can run out). they THINK she is dead but they never saw her body,,, meanwyhile delilah Is PISSED about being forgotten???

can their immortality run out only through old age, or are they killable? they basically run out if they're killed too many times, yeah, suddenly stops. before that, if they r killed they just come back to life/heal. so they might think delilah ran out of regenerations in whatever means she died.

MMMM WHAT IF while delilahs been "away" shes got like a cult around her?? ppl worshiping her?

How about Daud being the one who "kills" her? Like she's not dead but they think that was her last regen. idk delilah went a bit POWER MAD and daud "killed" her for the good of the rest?? oooo she goes rogue and then daud's like "ok im gonna make u run out of lives" and they had a bad fight and daud barely made it out himself. Ough Daud hunting her down to repeatedly kill her until she's out of lives...

so the plot of this is them trying to train billie to be an old guard while equally finding out delilah is actually alive and having a whole crazy cult thing.

corvo and daud are actually good snarky friends in this au bc daud of course didn't kill jess. jess was a noble lady rather than the empress. still trying to think of a place for daud to come from.......

oo what if Del manages to get the Outsider on his last regeneration? as in he doesn't die, but he's run out and he's human now.
