Ooo, lately I've been thinking about yandere shay dragging his assassin darling along with him when he defects from the brotherhood to the templars. Like, he's got to "save" then whether they want to be saved or not

YES! YANDERE SHAY. Okay so I do actually have thoughts about him-

Shay knows that after he defects that it will not be easy to get you, that Liam and Hope will tell you all of these horrible things and you will believe them.

He doesn't blame you, though. The Brotherhood kept him in the dark about many things but he's sure you'll understand when he can explain himself to you.

So I can see two paths that'd he take when it came to you: 1. He takes you quietly in which he and the Templars set up an ambush for you and some other assassins and makes it look like you were killed so no assassin's come looking for you or maybe he just straight up is hunting you down by tracking assassin's you've both trained with and interrogating them about you before killing them.

Either way, he hates how you look so scared but he doesn't blame you. You're just confused and he will happily explain everything, you just need to calm down first.

In general, he's...an infuriating yandere, to say the least. He doesn't hear you out when you try to explain that he's a hypocrite for siding with the Templars and simply tells you that you "don't understand". Or he gives you this pitying look as if YOU'RE the one being stubborn and unreasonable. Trying to make him see reason is a waste of time and trying to argue only leads to him just sighing and being condescending to you because the Assassins really have dug their claws into you.

You also aren't sure what's worse, the fact that he believes he can "fix" you or the fact that he imagined you even harbored any romantic feelings for him in the first place. You've only really ever been on a few missions with him and yet, he acted as if you two were some star-crossed lovers.

He'd really rather not be rough or harsh with you but if you try to fight him then he will be sure to remind you that he is not messing around, you will not escape him and even if you did, you are in enemy territory and he will stop at nothing to track you down and take down as many of your Assassin friends as he needs too.

If you cry or sob out of frustration or maybe you found that he destroyed your robes and your blade, he'll sit next to you and let you rest your head on his chest and coo to you, petting your hair as he tells you that everything he does is for your best interest. He's creating a better world for you and for him to be together!

Sometimes he will do such things as isolate you, trying to convince himself he's giving you time to cool off but deep down he knows what he's really doing.

If you were to ever say that you could never love a Templar like him, his gaze will become more stern as he just grabs your chin roughly and says: "I have been patient and understandin' with you long enough, (Y/n), but I really wouldn't test me if I were you."

and as he makes you look into his eyes, you realize that this isn't the same Shay staring back at you or maybe it was. Maybe this is the first time you ever took a real look at Shay and noticed the intense and infatuated look his eyes held for you.

You'll thank him someday. You'll laugh in his arms about the silly little notions and tell him how grateful you are he set you free from those contradicting and hypocritical ideals the Assassin's had. But there was clearly a lot of work need to be done if he was going to secure that future with you.

War of Universes

*Cover photo not mine!

Summary: 10,000 years ago they speak of the great destruction of Weblums that destroyed every planet in its path. The bloodthirsty creatures formed a cold war, empty and dirtied with exploded planets. Until Emperor Alfor rose to stop the war. The stories whispered, murmured, taught—speak of the great Emperor Alfor climbing the back of a Weblum, seizing its horns to rein through the planets—the only man alive able to control the beasts around him. With his control, he pledged to form a new nation with kingdoms joined as his alliances. All except for planet Daibazaal; who rebelled—and paid the price for it.

Now, 10,000 years into the present, the alliance between Kingdom Daibazaal and Kingdom Altea calls to the promise formed years ago. To ensure that both planets don’t betray one another and keep the peace between all kingdoms—both parties must wed their children to seal the promise.

But what happens when the Emperor falls? When enemies hide in every corner—waiting—seeking—for the chance to strike.It calls for the change of roles, for friends of the crown to prove themselves again to their loyalties and call to action that the peace will be reinstated again.

“I will be your just Queen,” Her voice is steady, determined in its honest nature; a crown weighs heavy, it drapes cool against the warmth of her head.“Allura Altea, first of her name, Queen of the spaces before us, the remnants of planets eaten and forgiven, of the seas of Perenniala, and the skies of Balmera, reiner of Olkari, an eye of peace judged in the courts of Fados, forgery in flames of Kral Zera, and the waves of Bii—Queen Allura, of the 7 kingdoms—Long may she reign.” The silence is still and tense, the knowledge that this is truly reality, that this is not a dream nor nightmare settles still in her bones. Then, with a single shift of armor, of a king's guard kneeling before her, the rest follow.

“Long may she reign.” A low murmur that becomes louder.

“Long may she reign.”

a/n: Ahhhh!!! Here I am again to publish yet another fic that I did NOT think would be published. I thank my beta @phiixomathh for indulging in my ideas and helping with the title/details of this entire story! Seriously—this story would have never been published if she didn't sit through my rantings and visions of a royal AU, bouncing ideas off of each other lmaooo. I can't wait when she starts to publish her own works and y'all will be graced with her amazing writing very soon!!

FAIR WARNING: this WILL have slow updates. This is a completely self-indulgent fic. I wrote it because the inspiration came to me and I kept thinking about writing a royal AU. That being said, if you beg for updates—its likely that I will ignore those comments. I can guarantee that I'd finish this work—I see this actually becoming a series. But this fic is on the back burner until I finish the two fics I've already started(one of them destined to be published soon) I'm determined to finish those first. Until then I'm NOT going to push myself to publish chapters. But if you have learned anything from my previous works—I always finish them. So don't worry about that.

Is this inspired by Game of Thrones? Yes. Does it share similar concepts? Yes. Did I spend an unhealthy amount of times thinking about Bastard Keith and Atlantan prince Lance? Absol-fucking-lutely. That and an ungodly amount of time thinking about Allura and Pidge from two different kingdoms and their growing relationship because I love strong women but even more a nonbinary queen with a literal queen? Fuck yes. (They were actually the first inspiration for this fic—the only time Klance does not bombard my mind when fitting fic concepts in my drafts.) I’m also living for assassin Hunk—I am a Hunk enthusiast. That man—IS ATTRACTIVE ASF. At least, how I envision 20 something year old Hunk in my mind is fine asf. Anyways—happy reading!

Startup Success Stories: How Ari & Elle is Revolutionizing Gift Giving

The energetic, remarkably well-spoken, 26-year-old Shai Eisenman is nothing short of a prodigy. She finished college at the age of 18, managed an international company before the age of 20, and founded gift-giving company Ari & Elle in August 2017.

She’s also the wife of a driven entrepreneur and mother of a very lucky daughter.

How has she managed such success before the age of 30?

We had the same question, so we invited her to sit down with us to talk about her entrepreneurial journey, and how her newest venture, Ari & Elle, is changing the gift-giving industry as we know it.

Let’s start with a bit of personal background. You accomplished an impressive number of things before you turned 25. What all did you do?

Well, I won’t go back all the way, but I started college at age 15 and finished when I was 18. I was already working fulltime at that point so I had quite the hectic life as a teenager.

I’ll bet. What was the job?

I was managing a bullet-proof plate company—the kind used by a lot of security firms. I was in sales mostly, which meant I was flying all over the world, talking to military organizations and governments.

How on earth did you get into that line of work?

It’s actually a family business. I was running my dad’s company.

And then you transitioned into your first CEO position at age 20, is that right?

Well, I volunteered with the Israeli military for a year first. But then, I started working for a company called Babylon as a business development manager. I was promoted very quickly, and ended up as head of compliance before moving on to another job as a manager of several companies for an Israeli tech billionaire.

It’s hard to imagine that kind of success by your early 20s. It was also during this time that you met your now life partner, right?

I actually met him at a security conference when I was only 18. He was—and still is—a very career-driven entrepreneur with his own company, so the relationship moved slowly. We actually didn’t think anything lasting could come of it, but it did. And after six years together, we decided to have a child.

How do you manage parenting and a demanding work life?

My partner and I both understand each other and we work very hard. He understands that my travel and schedules keep me working until 2 a.m. and I understand the crazy demands of his work life.

Long ago, we decided that we would combine our careers and our parenting—not keep them separate. We look at it this way: Our daughter fits into our lives, not the other way around. That means we’re not changing our careers to accommodate her, but that we work together as a family to make our lives a success together.

To make that possible, she travels with us, goes to sleep very late sometimes, and works within our schedules. But we also make sure she gets three hours with us every day.

Have you faced any prejudice or disadvantage in your career because you’re a woman and a mother?

Oh, yes. When I was 8 months pregnant, I started attending investor meetings. At one point, one of the Indian investors said, “Whatever you tell me, I’m not going to buy it. I’m just not going to help you because the moment your daughter is born, you’re not going to want to do anything but spend time with her.”

I’ll admit—without shame or apology—that my daughter is the most important thing to me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to fulfill my career dreams and goals.

When I first heard this kind of feedback, I wanted to apologize. In fact, I wanted to keep all of my private life away from work. But at some point, I realized that if the person I’m working with doesn’t understand how committed I am to my career and what I’m willing to do to make it a huge success, then it’s not someone I want invested in the company.

We need more role models like that, I think. Hats off to you for taking that stand. And that’s a good transition, too, because it’s your commitment and vision that ultimately led to the creation of Ari & Elle. When did that launch?

The company was started in August 2017, but we launched the website and app in June 2018.

Ari & Elle’s AI-driven application

Oh wow—quite a new venture!

Yeah, and it’s so much fun because we’re now starting to experience some customer love. That’s amazing to me, because in all of my time running companies, there wasn’t a lot of gratification from people you were helping. What I love about Ari & Elle is that it’s all pure good—all we do is make people happy.

Can you briefly talk about the concept?

Sure. The whole idea behind Ari & Elle is to create a special, curated gift-giving experience that matches people’s personalities. It just makes the gift-giving (and receiving) so much richer.

How did you determine that this was a good business idea?

When I was living in London several years ago, I bought everything I needed online. At one point, I was shopping around for presents for a cousin and a friend. My cousin loved comic books, but I had no idea what I could get him that would fit that mold. And my cousin had just had a baby. I didn’t know what to get her either.

That’s when I thought: “What if there were a service that knows what kind of gifts to get certain people?”

I researched it, but couldn’t find anything. So, I decided to build the company myself—a gift-giving business designed around personalized gifts packaged in a very attractive way.

That sounds like a huge win for a lot of people who don’t have time to put together thoughtful gifts. But how exactly do you figure out what fits the recipient?

We have two different channels that we use—our website and our app. Both incorporate a very unique AI engine that asks questions to capture the gift recipient’s personality. Basically, it’s an avatar/bot that asks questions in a messaging format (“Ari” for male gift recipients and “Elle” for female). They’ll ask things like, “What does the recipient like to do for fun? Are they into a luxury lifestyle? Are they a free spirit?”

Based on the answers, the engine will then suggest several gift collections fitted to the personality the customer has defined.

Do you have enough gift collections to match all of the possible personalities?

I think we’re hitting most of them, and our selection is always growing. Right now, we have more than 800 different collections of more than 6,000 individual products.

What kind of market research did you do to determine what you would offer and how you would deliver it?

We went through a broad-scope research process at the outset, and determined that 45% of the gifting market is taken up by holidays and 55% by occasional gifting—for birthdays, anniversaries, and so on.

After we discovered this, we dug into the various occasions that might be important to customers. We knew that a house-warming gift, for example, is given in a very different context than, say, a get-well gift. So we wanted to see what has historically been successful for each occasion.

This research inspired our gift collections, and we continued researching and building the collections until we felt we had enough to launch the business.

Why is it necessary to create gift collections instead of single gifts?

We want to tell a story. So, for example, we have a box called “Take Me to the Movies.” It includes a small projector, an inflatable couch, and a Bluetooth speaker. It’s a cinema in a box and offers a complete experience to the recipient.

How did you land on price point? I noticed that many of the collections are $100+, which might be a bit steep for a casual thank-you or get-well gift.

We’re still working on that. We definitely want to add more collections in the $70-80 range, because we know that some people are not going to want to spend more than that on a friend or colleague they’re not all that close to.

You’ve also mentioned that you offer a picture of the final package to the gift purchaser before shipping. Why?

The first impression is important, and we know that places like Amazon don’t let you know what a gift will look like once it’s shipped. We want customers to feel confident in the gifts they’re giving—both how they’re displayed and what’s inside.

What kind of marketing are you doing to promote Ari & Elle?

We’re advertising on most of the platforms you’d expect—Good AdWords, Facebook, and so on. But we’re going to be focusing a lot more on influencer marketing in the coming weeks and months.

Part of the reason for this is that a landing page is a hard space to explain our service. But an influencer can show an audience how our service works and what you get. Their photos and videos can capture the unique elements of Ari & Elle.

Are there any lessons you’ve learned in the development process that you can share with other entrepreneurs?

Our industry is getting very digitally sophisticated. The data that’s available allows companies to find out exactly who is using their products and what their demographic information is. Because our products are so personal, we’ve tried to use that to create very targeted campaigns.

I would recommend more companies do this. It’s more work, but the conversions are higher quality.

Also, as you begin your company formation, seek out once-were founders who have become successful to help guide you through the process of building your own company. Thankfully, I did that and was able to avoid a lot of mistakes because of it.

Lastly, don’t be in a rush to launch. In retrospect, I would have spent more time marketing and fine-tuning the user interface on the site and app. The small problems we saw in beta testing didn’t seem like a big deal, but they became a big deal when we went to market.

And how do you keep happy customers coming back? What kind of ongoing communication do you have with them?

Since we’re learning about our customers as they chat with our AI engine, we can reach out and ask specific questions about searches they’ve done without purchasing a gift collection. And even when they do, we offer coupons inside gifts to encourage potential new customers to sign up with us. We also offer discounts to customers who post unboxing videos on Instagram and other social media platforms.

And, of course, we encourage feedback from customers if they have ideas on new gifts we can include.

How do you plan to grow Ari & Elle over the next 5-10 years?

We’re going to be focusing on two things: technology and merchandising.

We want to continue to improve our AI engine so users can tell us exactly what they want. That will be an ongoing process.

On the merchandise side, we’d like to round out our offerings with something that fits with almost every personality out there. As part of that, I hope to bring on a bigger team of researchers—experts who know specific careers, jobs, and industries inside and out. That will help us dig deeper into the diverse interests of our growing customer base and create the prefect gift collections for them.
