Dean was his security blanket. "My dad was so emotionally attached to Dean that even the rumor of them splitting up shook him". Poor Jerry and his unwavering, undying, unapologetic love for Dean. We'll never know how much he suffered.

Jerry fought and fought for Dean. I wish Jerry's haters would read this

Authors note:

First time writing an actual fic and publishing it so constructive criticism and all kinds of feedback is deeply appreciated!! 🙏 There may be spelling errors, let me know if I've misspelled anything. It may be a bit confusing considering I'm using they/them pronouns for both characters, it just seems fitting until MC finds out Coves gender. Enjoy <3

Summary:

Ever since MC could remember, they've always loved the sea, which made sense considering they lived right next to it. One thing they loved about the sea was the unless wonders it had, one of those endless wonders being merfolk! They swear they've seen specks of one every now and then and would visit the beach every morning, afternoon and evening to try and catch an actual view of one in all its beauty. But one day, they were too ill to go out and had to stay home for a couple days. Once they got better, they went down to the beach and saw an unfamiliar face among the calm ocean they've known all their life.

Ever since MC could think, and even before that, they always loved the sea. Having lived by it all their life, it simply became a part of them. The best thing about the grand ocean was the stories one could come up with just by looking at it. The glimpse of a piece of wood could easily be connected to an old, wrecked ship or an underwater treasure chest that was broken open by gold thirsty pirates! But MC's favourite stories were the ones that talked about merfolk living among the coral reefs and ocean floor. Sometimes, they'd occasionally see the shine of a sparkly tail late at night, or maybe it was just their imagination. Regardless, it was always an exciting thought.

Every day from the morning to the evening, MC would spend their time by the ocean. They would go out there to enjoy the salty breeze and feel the cool, clear water rush over their feet. But what they hoped for the most when going down there was to see something, anything that would confirm their suspicions of mermaids existing. 

Everyday they came up short, so many times you'd think they'd give up but there was this burning certainty that maybe, just maybe if they checked one more time, they might see one! 

This went on until one summer, they caught a terrible fever, rendering them bedridden for days. Their mom's weren't going to let them go out when they were so under the weather and urged them to rest, focus on getting better. MC would stare at the ceiling, their thoughts continuous. They began to think about their obsession with finding some sort of clue that merfolk were in fact real, and if it was really worth all the time they spent. When you have nothing to do, all you can do is think. "One more time" they thought. One last time they'd check. And if nothing came up, it was time to call it there. But first they had to get over their fever.

A few days passed before they were able to be up and about Sunset Bird once again, but at least they were better at all. It was around the evening when MC went out to the beach again, after so many days away it felt refreshing to be back. The warm summer breeze brushed softly against their skin as they walked along the sandy shore, humming an unfamiliar song as they looked out along the distant water. 

Maybe there wasn't anything out there, maybe it was time to grow up. 

Just then, the glistening water dissipated as a mop of wet, sea green hair came into view and a set of shining blue eyes looked in their direction. They were just barely peeking over before coming up enough so their shoulders would be just over the water. It was.. a person? Who would swim this late in the evening? Maybe they should leave them alone. But something was off. There was something different about them, something people didn't usually have. 

Under the glow of the now rising moon, MC made out scales along their cheeks that lead back to their ears, which were a strange shape, and a completely different colour from their skin. Their skin was a warm, tan brown while their ears were a blueish-green and looked to be webbed in a way. Not to mention they had slits along the sides of their neck which looked to be gills. There's no way that was make-up, it would have to be super water resistant. 

MC stood there quietly, subconsciously turning to fully face the person who floated above the translucent water in front of them. They stared back, a curious look in their face which immediately lit up. Their smile was so bright it might've put the sun to shame. 

MC took a step forward, suddenly drawn to the individual before they quickly went back under the water, startling MC. Had they scared them? Were they coming back? Was that what they thought it was?! Were merfolk.. real?! They started to jump up and down, throwing their arms in the air as they rejoiced. They were real! They saw a real mermaid! Merman? Mer..individual? Whoever it was, they were real! 

Or at least, they thought they were. Sudden doubt started to wash over them. What if they were still under the weather and it was their brain playing tricks on them. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to make such certain conclusions when it's too dark to really be sure. Now they were back to square one. 

Just then, the same person came back up again but they were a little closer this time, their features were so much easier to see now. MC jumped back, causing the person to flinch and dip down enough in the water to only have their eyes and up visible. There was a second, a heart beat of silence before MC slowly shifted their position to more comfortably stand and lifted their dominant hand to offer a small wave, hoping to show they were friendly. This was so surreal they almost thought they were dreaming and even considered pinching themself. 

Feeling a bit more confident, they came up a little more out of the water and mimicked MC's hand movement with a small smile, clearly excited for some reason. 

"What's your name?" MC asked quietly, so quietly it could be considered a whisper. They didn't know if Merfolk could even understand English, there were so many different stories that told them so many different things. Some said Merfolk had their own language, some said they spoke and understood English, some even said they didn't speak at all. Today was the day they could confirm these claims.

MC walked a little closer and this time, the person didn't move, they stayed put. They held their hand out, as if approaching a stray cat they didn't want running away. Their new.. friend? tilted their head, a bit confused and again copied their hand movement, lifting their hand back up to follow what they were doing. Soon the motion caused their hands to touch, like the slowest high five ever and kind of just stayed there. Upon closer inspection, they looked like a guy, if so, they were the prettiest guy they'd ever seen. Their eyelashes were long and their nails looked so well kept and clean, which was surprising considering they literally came from the ocean. 

"Cove, I'm Cove" Cove? It was fitting, they looked like the personification of a cove or lagoon, it made sense. 

"I'm MC, it's nice to meet you, Cove"

Music in AC Odyssey

I really wish someone with more musical knowledge would break down the leitmotifs in AC Odyssey’s OST. But I haven’t found anyone yet, and I’m tired and bold so here goes. 

“Legend of the Eagle Bearer” ties AC Odyssey with the larger Assassins' theme of “Ezio’s Family” from AC 2. This is continued in “Enter the Animus”.

The “Korinth” track and “Brasidas” track clearly are tied together, probably because that’s where we first meet him! (This is also why I headcanon that if Brasidas death was faked after Amphopolis, Alexios would take him to the city where they met. It just makes sense after listening to them together. I already picked out their house.)

There is also a clear Myrinne theme that I guess could be a larger familial leitmotif, usually with feminine vocalization or humming. The song that plays when you first start the game is (“Odyssey-Greek Version”) is similar. The game musically starts you out reminiscing and humming along to the familiar theme (and that hits me hard when Alexios hums it).

The song “A Happy Family” transitions from the family/Myrinne theme to cult of Kosmos leitmotif to some kind of inversion of the “Legend of the Eagle Bearer” main theme at 2:46 and I think it’s the best section of the soundtrack. 

I hate the Isu/”Enter the Animus” leitmotif, it’s jarring when I’m just wandering Greece. 

As for the world music:

“Ceremony and Celebration” is from the Epitaph of Seikilos, which is the oldest surviving complete composition that has musical notation (that we know of). It came from a stele, the lyrics translate as: While you live, shine/ have no grief at all/ life exists only for a short while/ and Time demands his toll.

“The Lost Shield” is my favorite shanty that I 100% badly try to sing along to when I play as Alexios. I think about Brasidas’ shield a lot too. 

I usually have an all female crew when playing as Kassandra and “Song for a Young Girl” has such beautiful harmony, I like to think we’re like sirens. Underestimated, beautiful, and then deadly.

do you just ever start listening to an artist and you find a song that you're like "this is my favorite song by them. It is just like me fr. How can it get better " and then you listen more and you find another song that is just such a banger and you get emotionally attached and listen to it on repeat for 4 days straight but you feel bad because you abandoned the 1st song in favor of the 2nd

(The songs in question, respectively, are Chinese Satellite and I Know the End by Phoebe Bridgers)

It’s scary how attached I am to you

It’s scary how much I need you

It’s scary how much power you have,the power to rip me in million peaces

I think I tend to get addicted to my partner even if that’s very unhealthy

I got hurt so much before

And instead of the bad addictions I switched to my addiction for you

but maybe that’s not the best either because if one thing you say or do make me feel bad in any way,no matter how little it is,I will collaps and go back to what I used to do..
