On Sparrows Wings by watchdabirdie
Fandom: The Old Guard (Gina Prince-Bythewood & Greg Rucka 2020)
Summary:

There was a man in the park watching her. She had seen him before, exactly a year before. His clothing was different, and he wore a hat this time. But the dark brown of his curls was the same. The bittersweet smile framed with a well kept beard was the same. And his eyes held the same fondness in their dark depths. Najid was not scared of the man who watched her. For she knew it was not her those sad eyes lingered on. It was her son.
