    Summary

    The Isu built humans in their image—flawed, emotional, stubborn. So, perhaps it was inevitable that everything else created by their hands also picked up those same imperfections.

    The Eye was no exception to that.

    In which, the Eye has an existential crisis and Desmond tries to survive medieval Italy, which would have been easier to do if it weren’t for the goddamn wings.

    (Aka the time travel fix it/wingfic that no one asked for)

    Summary

    Syncopation (noun): a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm; a placement of rhythmic accents where they wouldn't normally occur

     

     

    There's a rhythm to the world now, and it lives in Desmond's chest.

    Rebecca presses her ear to it sometimes, just to make sure the universe is still intact.
    As long as it beats, they have time.
    As long as it beats, they're winning.

    They've got this. Everything will be alright.

    (It's not their fault everyone else seems to think otherwise.)

    In which Shaun and Rebecca die in 2024 and wake up in 2012 with one goal: keep Desmond alive.

    By any means necessary.

    Summary

    Not Desmond, because Edward Kenway’s ship hit him first.

    Or alternatively: what happens when a half-dead merman gets hauled aboard the Jackdaw and Edward Kenway decides that this is, somehow, a great start to a relationship.

    Summary

    Altaïr is neither poet nor scholar, no matter how many times he pretends to be so, but he can grasp why such men work so hard to capture this kind of fleeting beauty in words: for how precious these moments are when Desmond is so defenseless and willing, they are rare; and so all the more valuable for it.

    (PWP; Altaïr and Malik share Desmond between them)

    Summary

    Altaïr and Malik are rough-edged, jagged where they've both broken and healed--Desmond fits in those gaps very nicely indeed.

    PWIP (i.e. Porn With Implied Plot) of non-traditional a/b/o dynamics (a/b/a) Altaïr/Malik/Desmond.
