#the flying assassin

[teecupangel]

Assassins Creed could pretty easily be turned into an isekai. No animus involved, just Desmond getting hit by a truck and then mysteriously waking up as Ezio! Or even more hilarious, going the "reincarnated as a book character" route for isekai launch points, Ezio gets run over by a cart and wakes up as Altair, whose journal he'd been reading the night before.

Regardless of who transmigrated, Desmond as Ezio or Ezio as Altaïr, the name of this fic will have to be “I have been transmigrated as the legendary Assassin!” (the exclamation point is necessary, the shortening would either be ITLA or LegAss)

The main two ways to get transmigrated is either through Truck-kun (or Car-kun is Truck-kun is stuck in traffic) or by dying while doing something mundane from overwork or illness.

We’ll go for Truck-kun for Desmond and he’ll wake up as Ezio Auditore, the legendary Assassin from Renaissance Italy.

Of course, since we did specify No Animus involved, we’re going for an alternative world where Desmond never got kidnapped and kept living his peaceful life in New York with the added consolation of the Solar Flare being dealt by something or someone else (perhaps Abstergo with their The Eye project? Or Bill gets to be sacrificed instead? XD)

Anyway, Abstergo still released the Animus as a gaming console and one of their games is about Ezio (primarily from Clay’s sessions, heavily edited) and Desmond is hooked.

He admits, there’s a part of him that was jealous of Ezio. Sure, his story was a tragedy that turned him to a monster (or so Abstergo painted him) but Desmond sorta gets it.

Sorta.

Or maybe he was projecting.

It’s just…

Desmond wanted to know more about Ezio. The game ended after Rodrigo Borgia managed to get Ezio not kill him, to show him how he had become a monster and to return to the light.

It felt like a weak ending in Desmond’s eyes and he’d been contemplating if it was worth the risk joining an online forum to talk about the ending and how a lot of Ezio’s actions doesn’t seemed to make any sense sometimes in the cutscenes.

He just got a ping in his phone while waiting for the pedestrian light to go green and blinked when he read that there were rumors of Abstergo planning to make a sequel to Ezio’s game.

Huh.

They didn’t even care about the cliffhanger of Altaïr’s game.

Then again, Ezio’s game was the most successful game Abstergo Entertainment released for the Animus.

The pedestrian light turned green.

Desmond took a step as he read the article.

Then…

Light.

He turned just in time to see the truck-

Before-

Blood.

He tasted blood.

His lips hurt.

What?

“Uccidetelo!”

Desmond blinked.

He recognized Vieri Pazzi immediately. He had seen his ugly mug in VR for so long because he kept replaying Ezio’s game when he was bored after all.

Desmond blocked the attack of the men charging him, his body seemingly remembering the years of training on the Farm…

No.

His movements…

Was he remembering how to move like Ezio in VR?

That didn’t make sense.

None of this makes sense.

“Ehi!” The man about to punch Desmond from behind dropped to the floor as a familiar man grinned at him, “Behind you!”

“Federico?” Desmond choked, recognizing the older Auditore.

“What’s wrong, Ezio? Too surprised to see your older brother saving you once again?”

Ezio.

He just called Desmond Ezio.

Oh god.

He was Ezio.

He just replaced the Monster of Florence, the White Death himself…

Ezio Auditore.

(Ezio, on the other hand, gets transmigrated when he lost his consciousness while reading Altaïr’s journal for the last time before going to the ship that will sail him as close to Masyaf as it could. He gets transmigrated just as Al Mualim stabs Altaïr on the stomach for failing to recover the Apple)

#let’s be honest #altaïr didn’t leave enough info about how his life went in his codex #so ezio would be flying blind #desmond on the other hand #is under the wrong impression of ezio being a cold blooded murderer #so yeah #desmond is gonna try and fix things #while ezio is gonna wreck shit by accident XD #if it's not clear yet #i love transmigration stories hahahaha #assassin's creed #desmond miles #ezio auditore #fic idea: assassin's creed #teecup writes/has a plot #ask and answer

Assassin au... how does the MC react to finding out about her assassins? Dose she meet them?

Sans: She meets him before she realises he’s an assassin. He’s her friendly, down-to-earth neighbour after all, who never makes too much noise and always has a smile for her... always starting conversations and saying nice things about the articles she writes. Telling stupid jokes that make her giggle. She probably has a little bit of a crush on him, especially since he’s using a personality for her that he’s constantly editing to be specifically to her tastes. He wants her to see him as a friend.

... Despite Sans actively trying to sabotage her finding out anything more about the particular underworld she’s gotten in trouble with, at the end of the day she’s still a nosy a journalist who had a hit put on her for knowing too much. Her toxic trait is she figures things out, and eventually she’d connect the dots. She tries to play it cool, but he immediately knows when she’s clocked what he is... their interactions become a little dance of her trying not appear nervous, as in her head ‘him knowing she knows’ = ‘him killing her off’. 

Not that he’d admit it, but he enjoys their new game- watching her quietly flail during their casual conversations, she’s so cute. He likes seeing how far he can push with his friendliness until she buckles and visibly exhibits fear. Adorable.

Red: Course she meets him pre-realising he’s an assassin, he’s an outrageous flirt who knows where she likes to go to have fun. He made himself a regular at the bars she enjoys, and has hit on her several times with moderate success. He wore a suit out, once, just to see her reaction... she liked it so much he’s hoping that if she ends up having to see him in his work suit she won’t be so dismayed.

Finding out he’s an assassin is strange because unlike Sans, who finds it fun/cute to watch her scrambling, Red is weirdly open about why he’s there as soon as he can tell she knows. He tells her he was hired to kill her because she was nosy but changed his mind because ‘your lil’ face is just too cute’... the hell does that mean? Why is she flushed? She’s got no idea what to think about him, he’s so casual, there’s no way he can be telling the truth when the truth is so insane. There’s no way this easygoing, charming guy with smouldering eyes (that she got close to falling for) is the terrifying sadistic assassin she’s been reading about.

Just like Sans, he enjoys her fear and confusion a bit too much to not indulge himself. He likes to give her cryptic clues about whatever she’s investigating, just to see her face screw up as she processes his words.

Skull: The first time she ever actually meets Skull is when everything kicks off. Another assassin breaks into her apartment and attempts on her life, the bounty is just too large for some people to resist despite them knowing the skeleton trio are on it- Red and Sans step in, and the violent way they dispatch the intruder terrifies her. But before they can start talking to her, or try to convince her they mean no harm, the windows shatter and sniper bullets pepper the walls where their heads were. Mc flees the scene... and Skull intervenes, scooping her up and getting her out of there.

Skull’s silence is strangely comforting, after the insanity she’s just been through. He feels strong and reliable, his marksmanship is clearly unparalleled, and he only opens his mouth to promise he’ll protect her. The other two are tricksters who confuse and tease her but there’s nothing to be confused about with this giant... he’s going to keep her safe, that’s all she needs to know.

#llamagines #assassin au #mc: who are you? #skull: i love you and i can shoot a fly out of the air #mc: ... say no more <3

Hi! Sorry to say your submit page wasn’t working for me, so as per your request I’ll put my submission here :)

Got a two-in-one!! Found this on some flowers during a walk, very cool. Location is Colorado.

Oh no!!! RIP to the bee fly but a delicious meal for the ambush bug! I love them both. Hopefully the bee fly lived a nice long bug life before getting eaten.

toji with a bubbly princess who talks his ear off but he doesn’t mind because she’s so small and soft and warm on his lap. and she smells good and her voice makes him calm. she doesn’t mind when he plays with the hem of her skirt. or when he wants to grip and squish her thighs. or when he wants to cup her breasts and hold them to bask in her warmth and softness. or when he bites her ear when she tries to tease him. or when he wraps his big, sturdy, muscular forearms around her waist to keep her there. maybe he likes the way she’s always pushing her lips out for him to kiss in between her stories………..but i’m just saying.

enough of you, and enough of you NOW! because, i seen a clip of toji’s voice actor and yuuji’s and they were talking about what toji’s/yuuji’s relationship would be like if they were friends (had he not bit the dust) — and they came to the conclusion that toji would be very annoyed by yuuji since he’s so bubbly but would miss him if he wasn’t around anymore.

now twisting that and making it our own… toji’s initial thought of his bubbly princess… thinking she’s talkative, annoying, and an overall brat. but he finds himself missing your unsolicited touch, the way you’d wrap an arm around his when you’d walk together (to which he begrudgingly shrugs you off), or when you talk his ear off about the thoughts, or lack thereof, floating in your mind :(

he especially misses how you coo so softly when he’s got his large arms wrapped around you from behind…. his lips against your ear so you can hear all the deep grunts n groans he lets out as he takes you from behind, just over your kitchen counter >:( you couldn’t even finish baking him cookies!! meanie!!

#you know… i’m gonna be so honest and say #i think about assassin!toji n assassin!you #the only difference is that while toji’s a hardened criminal #you’re just the sweetest thing #very hard to believe you’d hurt a fly #(shiu may have possibly set you both up as partners) #irregardless #you n toji’s relationship is unestablished but… it’s super obvious you two are fucking #pouty princess and her bully bodyguard #tehe very self indulgent #i’m done !!!! #seraph.replies! #dior.dreams!

I saw. SO MANY BUG today. (Sorry in advance for bad phone camera quality and shaky hands)

Male March fly!!! (Thanks to @microecobus for the ID!)

Baby sawfly!

Tiny assassin bug!

Flat bug (actually what they're called) and a zebra jumping spider!

Better look at the jumping spider!

Male California glowworm (species of firefly where only the babies and wingless females glow)!

Aphids!

Spittlebug (hiding in the foam on the leaf)!

And last but not least, a huge male snakefly (females have long ovipositors)!!!! So cool to find this one, I've only seen one in person once before in my life!

That's not counting the crane flies, honeybees, ants, little round orange mite, various flies, brown marmorated stink bug (of course), tiger butterfly, boxelder bugs, and tons of little parasitoid wasps I saw pollinating. An excellent bug day for Rev!

Desmond: I'm a retired assassin, I haven't killed anyone in 9 years!

Shaun: *raises an eyebrow*

Desmond: ...

Desmond: ... 7 years.

Shaun: *raises another eyebrow*

Desmond: 6 and a half years.

Shaun: *tilts head pointedly*

Desmond: Okay! 5 years! But that one was an accident, I didn't know he had a heart condition!

The Art of Destiny

book 2 in a fun wuxia-inspired high fantasy series

set a couple years after book 1, after Jian failed to live up to his chosen-once prophecy, he is once again training with Taishi who decides to recruit a bunch of her grandmaster peers to come out of retirement & finish his training

Qisami & her crew are lacking assassin work and take a job going undercover in a palace - and the change of pace & new developing friendships give her a glimpse of new possibilities

Sali leads the survivors of her exiled clan to a new home while trying to find a cure for a magical sickness she's developed

#the art of destiny #wesley chu #the war arts saga #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #god this is so fun i love the characters #I think i didn't love it QUITE as much as book one for a couple reasons #the narratives r quite disconnected through most of the book (though i love them all equally) #and also jian randomly has a love interest and istg he was not-attracted-to-women coded lmao...... #(I guess that was like. immature/dumb about girls coding. which I feel euh about. but whatever) #shes a cool character and it's like. 3 scenes. still far more focus on platonic relationships. but still. #qisami…….babygirl….is this what mean when they talk about dudes being their little meowmeow. #unhinged assassin who hates children forced to be babysitter then realises children are feral actually & gets attached to these ones #i thought this was a duology but it’s a trilogy. the end definitely doesn’t wrap things up. ESPECIALLY FOR QISAMI #theres MAYBE a few moments where im like oh yeah this is written by a man. not in an egregious way just like. Noticing. #BUT i love it very much overall #lots of ocean boat time. flying lion riding. centipede wagons???????

Brainrot Time: A detail about KaruMana that I liked a lot

I wasn't really that surprised to know that Okuda doesn't find Karma that scary, or at least not anymore.

As shown in the flashback in his introductory episode, violent depictions aside, Karma can be pretty gentle with people, from just hearing how kindly he spoke to his senior after defending him.

We may have caught a glimpse of how they interact when alone together in the test of courage episode, but it's not hard to imagine how Karma treats Okuda for her to feel so at ease being around him 😭💕

Especially when we later learned that she's both afraid of Itona and Hayami lmao

#i just really like pointing out little details like these #so lowkey that they fly over our heads at first watch #but when you do notice them your heart just melts #💔 #i genuinely don't ship anyone in 3e together at this point #but karumana had been a strong soft spot for a very long time #i just NEED to let this out #haha #assassination classroom #ansatsu kyoushitsu #assclass #akabane karma #karma akabane #okuda manami #manami okuda #karumana #brainrot time #my thoughts
