Summary
When Altair had sat down, alone in the silent and empty depths of his library, he knew that his time had come at long last. His body felt heavy, and he was so very tired. As his eyes drifted shut, he let out his final breath and greeted the oncoming dark as one would an old friend.
Which made it even more jarring when his eyes snapped open to see a dim predawn sky.

Summary
Desmond Miles really did mean to save the world from the sun's solar flares. That was what he thought he was doing. How was he supposed to know trauma would mean his wish for the Eye had changed? How was he supposed to know that when he touched it, he would end up in 1190s Levant instead? How was he supposed to know he would drive Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad mad with the need to adopt him?
Whatever Desmond Miles is, whoever he is, Altaïr decides he is an Ibn-La'Ahad and therefore he is an Ibn-La'Ahad. And this Eagle of Masyaf will alter all of history if it means giving his new little brother, his new son, his new family member everything he had ever wished for.
The rest of Masyaf must deal with their Eagle being an overprotective parent.

Summary
Freedom has a price, and for Desmond, that price is steeper than he ever imagined. Exiled, relegated to a pack of one, and doomed to spend the rest of his days trapped in animal form, one would think he'd learned his lesson when it came to sticking his nose into other people's business.

Summary
He really thought the whole Isu shit was behind him. The world burned and his job was done. Nearly all of 7 billion people dead, but at least not under an evil Godesses whim as slaves. He was doing as he was told, he was leading the people out of the doom he inflicted upon them and helping them rebuild.
His job with all the Apples and Isu bullshit should be done! So why did his eyes open in the sanctuary of Monteriggioni out of all the fucking places.

Summary
At this point, Desmond knew he shouldn't be surprised anymore. Sure, not waking up at the Great Bar of the Afterlife was a bummer, but then again, he should be used to the Ones Who Came Before (And Who Would Not Stop Meddling) throwing him a curveball. He just…didn’t think that included him to wake up 20 years in the past.
(Well, he was here anyways. Might as well make the best of it.)

‘Rinascita’ by RoosjeM
Fandoms: Assassin's Creed - All Media Types, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
22 May 2025
Tags
Summary
There was something about the Renaissance that was both incredibly overwhelming as well as painfully familiar.
In many ways, it felt like home. In other ways, it was nothing like Desmond had expected it to be.The Animus was not entirely accurate in its depiction of the time. It left some things out and changed others but it was definitely close enough for Desmond to get by. Rome was very different from how it was in Desmond’s time but the layout was mostly the same as were the larger buildings like the Colosseum and the Vatican.
It made Desmond believe everything had all been a bad dream. That he was still underneath Villa Auditore, hiding from the Templars while spending countless hours inside the Animus. Only when he got out of the Temple and got to the surface did he realise that this was not the case. This was not just Heavy Bleeding, like Desmond experienced the past few weeks, this was real. Terrified at the implications, Desmond did what he had been taught to do best.
He hid.

Desmond Miles was supposed to die. Instead, he woke up hundreds of years in the past, helpless and alone. How was he supposed to know that the Altaïr he saw wasn’t a hallucination?
Or: Altaïr found a random kid in distress and decided that it was his kid, no take backs. Eventually Ezio shows up to co-parent.

Summary
Instead of dying when he touched the Eye, Desmond's heart kept right on beating. Because three of his ancestors had seen what it would cost him. And three of his ancestors would not stand for it. Which was appreciated but, also -
Desmond did not sign up for being fifteen years old a second time around, dealing with three grown men from centuries past who wanted to adopt him but couldn't use a toaster.

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)

The Process Of Rebuilding Home by ReallyHighCloud
Fandoms: Assassin's Creed - All Media Types
29 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
At last, there is peace in Masyaf. The Templar has been defeated, and the Power of Eden is theirs. The Eagle of Masyaf, even, is back.
And yet.
Five years after he lost everything, Malik al-Sayf struggles with the consequences of their acts. The world is never black, or white, or even grey; it is kaleidoscope. Nothing is true, everything is permitted, and from the multicoloured shatters of the many lives that could have been, would have been,
(have never been)
it is up to them to rebuild Masyaf.
The illusion of Paradise is now lost; and in its place, it is time to build a home.
------
The third (and final) part of the "Eagle of Masyaf" Omegaverse AU. This time, with less assassin-on-assassin murder attemps, even longer historical context footnotes that will probably make you cry, and, last, but not least:
everybody, at some point in this story, gets An Actual Break. At last, the (somewhat) happy end.

Summary
Altair scowls, ‘that damn thing,’ he thinks. He had known that it was always possible for the piece of Eden to take more from him, that surely it couldn’t be done quite yet, not satisfied with the chaos it had caused so far. This, too, must be the work of the apple, he had fallen asleep with it nearby when he had always been so careful to hide it away where no one could reach it, and it couldn’t reach him. And now, he is stuck in the past, searching for a way home.

Summary
“Kim, I could have made much worse choices back then. I think I’m seeing what would have happened if I had.”
“Is this about our earlier conversation? You're imagining alternate universes?”
“No. I think really am seeing other possible lives. And some of them are bad.”Harry travels through the pale to attend a cryptozoology conference and starts remembering alternate pasts. What could have happened if the case in Martenaise had ended differently. If Harry hadn't become a Communist, or Kim hadn't dodged the bullet. There are so many other ways this could have gone.

Summary
Radios, recovery, and romance.
Or, Harry starts listening to the radio. It gives him something to hold onto. (And maybe discovers the lost island of Atlantide while he’s at it.)
Featuring: WEATHER FM, SAD FM, MIRRORBALL FM, and SPEEDFREAKS FM
KIM KITSURAGI: “You know, when I was a child, I used to pretend I was flying an aerostatic through the pale and had discovered Atlantide. Mostly when I was trying to fall asleep.”
ESPRIT DE CORPS: He still does. Nights he really can’t sleep, he soars low, skimming the city: its tall clear buildings sparkling in the sun, the river snaking through the plain. Far below, a man looks up at him, shading his eyes. A child waves at him. A dog chases his shadow, snapping at it, never catching it.
