Eden (Chapter 7) - An Assasins Creed Syndicate Story

Jacob Frye x OC

I smiled, reading the letter a few times before looking at the bed. Eden lay there, her face contorted in pain. “So your name is Eden?” I chuckled, brushing the hair out of her face. “Well, Eden, it is nice to meet you,” I whispered. She moaned in her sleep, still in agony. Eden Auditore. Why did that last name sound familiar? I returned to the living room, where Henry and Evie were busy discussing the recent events.

“Evie, do you know the name Auditore?” I asked, and she rolled her eyes while putting her cup of tea down. 

“Honestly Jacob. Don’t you recall any of the Father’s teachings?”

I leaned on the door frame. “Are you going to belittle me or answer my question?”

“That is the family name of a famous assassin from Renaissance Italy. Ezio Auditore. He saved the Italian brotherhood. Why do you ask?”

I walked towards Evie and Henry and handed them the letter. “Because this letter has her name, her real name.” Evie snatched the letter from my hand, and her eyes widened as she read it. “What is it? What’s wrong?” “This name, this person should be dead.”

“Dead. When?”

Evie put the letter down. “I can’t remember right now. The book I need is back at Father’s Library in Crawley. Henry and I will leave right now and should be back within a day.”

“Okay. I’ll keep an eye on her.”

Evie and Henry took off, leaving me alone with Eden asleep in the other room. I returned to the bedroom and sat down beside the bed. Dead, this girl should be dead, and by the sound of Evie, dead a very long time ago. Who was she, and why had she come and thrown my life into turmoil? 

Eden stayed asleep most of the day, so I kept myself busy by cleaning up the flat and locating some Rook to bring us some food since Eden left nothing when she tried to flee. After some food, exhaustion took hold, and I fell asleep in the chair next to Eden.

I woke up a bit later to Eden’s screaming. I jolted awake, ready to attack, thinking that someone had broken in, but no, it was Eden, still fast asleep but, by the look of it, having a nightmare. I walked over and tried to shake her out of it with no luck. She just kept yelling.

“Father, please help me please. Stop the pain. I beg of you. Please help me.” I kept shaking her, and finally, her eyes snapped open, and the screaming stopped. Eden looked at me standing and then at my legs. Her eyes glowed a brilliant gold before she wiggled her toes and moved her legs. She took a deep breath, removed the blanket and stepped out of bed with no signs of pain.

“Eden, are you alright?”

She looked up at me and smiled. “You read my letter.” 

“I did.” Eden looked at me, unsure of what I might do next. “You never did answer my question. Are you alright?”

It's been said before, but I'm getting real tired of how often you see anti-right sentiment that'll goes:

1. X got caught out being a hypocrite over gay/trans people, or just protesting too much!

2. Haha that must mean they're secretly gay, trans, or attracted to trans people!

STOP ACCEPTING THEIR FRAMING AND ARGUMENTS AND USING IT TO MOCK THEM.

YOU AREN'T DOING ANY GOOD BY IMPLICITLY ASSUMING THEIR FRAMEWORK WHICH SAYS BEING GAY/TRANS IS BAD.

"anti-gay person is secretly gay" and "anti-trans person is secretly trans" is a tragedy of self loathing, not an insult. It doesn't excuse their actions, of course, but by making that the focal point of your joke you're just ceeding ground to their position

Hypocrisy is a thing that's always fun to point out, sure, but this is not an effective way to change their minds, and it's insulting to everyone on your side as well.

It's just far too often that you see some right-wing person go "WE SHOULD GET RID OF ALL X" and then supposedly left-leaning people go "well I did some research or just assumed, and it turns out that they're secretly X!", where X is some completely neutral thing, like "gay" or "trans" or "immigrant" or "jewish".

You are agreeing to their point and quibbling on the details. That is not the massive dunk you think it is. Please, stop.

Hiii girl!! I’m here again with my random bothers lol Not sure if you’ve been asked this before but what kind of vehicles do you think our S2 boys drive? As an American, I know Europeans have a different perspective with cars so I’m clueless with this one 😂 Miss seeing you in my dashboard btw 💛

Hi! I love random questions, and this is such a fun one 👀 I think a lot of the Islanders that live in cities don't have a car or maybe not even a driver's license as it's just not necessary, but I'll still do my best (added some of the girls as well) 🤍

Bobby – Mini Cooper

In this exact colour, and he's named it as he does with most inanimate objects that he owns.

Carl – Tesla Roadster

I mean, it just makes sense? It looks so futuristic, while also being electric and modern.

Chelsea – Nissan cube

It's cute and small, but with enough space so that she can fill it with stuff for her clients etc.

Gary – Kia Ceed

Because it used to be Top Gear's reasonably priced car, and I bet he used to *love* that show

Hannah – Fiat 500

This one was easy. Girl so drives a baby blue fiat 500 everywhere, and it smells like sweet perfume x horse.

Henrik – 1990 Land Rover Defender

A sensible car that he's had for ages and will probably have until it literally falls apart.

Hope – Jaguar F-type

Hope's in the club of people I don't think drives at the moment, as public transport is great where she lives. But I think she'll eventually get a car, and it'll be bright and fancy.

Ibrahim – Mustang

Specifically in this blue. Don't know why, but I think he'd want an American(tm) car that looks like it could be a transformer.

Lottie – Vintage funeral car

I don't think she drives, but if she did? This one.

Lucas – Aston Martin DB5

I think he usually takes his motorcycle, but since he was a kid he always dreamed about owning a James Bond car, so now he's got this classic.

Marisol – Polestar

Doesn't currently own a car I think, as she takes public transport, but if she does get a car it'll be electric and sleek.

Noah – Volkswagen Touran

He doesn't have a car at the moment I imagine, but if he did? This one aka one the first cars that came up when I searched for "sensible family cars" lol

Priya – Maserati GranTurismo

I don't think she drives, but if she did she'd accept nothing less than this.

Rocco – Volkswagen Westfalia

Obviously.

And that's it! Not sure about the others, but feel free to come with suggestions in the comments

[steviesbicrisis]

Shouldn't have ceeded the floor to me lol, my whole brain is buzzing.

Hobi as Dustin? Optimistic, loud, a little silly, but 100% serious when shit gets real, lowkey a leader though they're subtle about it.

Jimin and Will? I don't have a lot of basis for this one I'll be honest, it's mostly the sweet personalities, the soft spokeness, and the gay undertones.

Nancy and Namjoon parallels go brrr. Both well respected good students who get called to something bigger than the life they were "meant" to live. Both kind, intelligent leader personalities. Adorable and badass at the same time.

Taehyung and Robin? Sorta goofy, sassy best friend energy. Both much smarter than they originally seem. Both ended up in the group they're famous for being a part of completely by accident but went hard once they got there. Chill but also incredibly not chill.

I think I did the right thing my friend!! This is so accurate *chef kiss*

Dustin seems the best option here although he’s very bitchy with his friends and Hobi is too much of a sunshine for that 😂

I think will as Jimin is spot on! Not only for their personality but also for their role in the friend group, Will is kinda the maknae and Jimin is the “unofficial maknae” in my opinion (also yes, the gay undertones!!)

Also agree with Nancy and Namjoon, I think they’re both the smart friend the group relies on!

Omg the parallel of Taehyung and Robin getting in the group by accident is so accurate!! Arguably they’re also both considered the weird friend

There you have it folks, the stranger things x BTS parallel is complete! 😂

Eden (Chapter 2) A Assassin Creed Syndicate story

Jacob Frye x Original Female Character

What happens when you fall in love with the man you were only supposed to be stringing along? That's what happened to Eden. She was only supposed to toy around with Jacob Frye, Master Assassin and leader of the Rooks. She only needed the Shroud of Eden, and then she would never see Jacob or the city of London ever again. But she forgot one key thing she couldn't control—her heart. Now Eden must fight against what her heart is telling her and her task since her accident. To love or to live. That was what was at stake.

My stomach was in knots as I stopped with my hand on the doorknob. I didn’t know why my body was reacting like this. Stringing Jacob around was a means to an end. He had the information I needed, and flirting with him was the best way. I took a deep breath, steadied my racing heart, and opened the door. Jacob stood there with a few of his gang members I’d heard about. The one woman was wearing grey slacks with a yellow sash, a white shirt with a green vest and her blonde hair was cut short and was covered by a black hat with a yellow ribbon. There was also a man with him. He was also wearing grey slacks with a white shirt and a yellow sash but not a vest or hat to cover his red hair. 

“Just keep an eye out for anything odd,” Jacob said to his men. They both shook their heads in agreement before taking off. His shoulders sagged now that his gang members were gone. He looked tired, and I wondered why. Turning around, his smile returned to his face once he saw me. 

“Oh, Good morning, Claudia.” 

“Good morning Mr. Frye. To what do I owe the pleasure.”

Jacob chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. “Please call me Jacob. Mr. Frye was my father, and when I hear that name, I expect to find him standing behind me.” 

I smiled. “Alright then, Jacob, to what do I owe the pleasure?” “Well, I was in this part of town and wanted to know if you would like to spend time with me today?” 

“Spend some time with you? Why?”

“I had some free time today, and I figured I could show you around since you haven’t been to London before.”

“That’s very kind, but...” I hesitated to tell him what I had planned today. “I need to do some shopping today if you do not mind joining me.”

Jacob’s smile grew larger. “That’s perfect. I can join you and make sure no more thieves try to steal from you.”

“You think someone would try again?”

“It is London, after all.” 

“Alright. I would love your company as I run my errands today.”

Jacob stepped to the side, allowing me to start walking. “Lead the way.” 

I forced a smile on my face as we started our walk. I knew I needed to earn Jacob’s trust, but today couldn’t have been a worse day. I needed to grab some items to upgrade my gauntlet, and I didn’t want Jacob to see and give away who I truly was. We walked silently for a bit as I tried to think of a way to get my items without arousing suspicion. 

“Penny for your thoughts?” 

I jumped a bit, caught off guard. “Just wondering what you were talking about to the other two people you were with this morning.” 

He shook his head. “It was nothing. Just my gang making sure they are looking out for anything odd.” 

“You have a gang?” I acted surprised.

“I do. Does that surprise you?”

“A bit. Then again, our first meeting started after you jumped from a rooftop.” Jacob chuckled sheepishly. “Another question that goes with the first. What could be odd in London?” 

“You would be surprised. But that is a story for another day.” Damn. He didn’t have enough trust in me yet. We continued walking, and the market came into view, but I didn’t have a solid plan yet. Seemed that luck was on my side, at least. A voice yelled from behind as we entered the shopping district. 

“JACOB!” Jacob and I stopped, and he turned to see who was calling him. It turned out to be a woman. She was equal in height to Jacob, and they even shared the same colour hair and eyes. I eyed an assassin gauntlet on her arm and guessed she was Evie Frye—Jacob’s twin sister.

“Hello, Dear sister.” He grumbled and turned back to me. “Claudia, this is my sister Evie Frye. Evie, this is Claudia?” Jacob said, pausing since he didn’t know my last name. 

“Hello Evie, my name is Claudia Fiore,” I said, holding my hand to shake. Evie looked at my hand, then back at me and ignored it. 

“Hello.” She said before turning her attention to her brother. “Jacob, can I speak to you for a moment?” Evie paused and looked back at me. “Alone.” 

I smiled at Jacob, quickly taking this as my opportunity to upgrade my gear. “Go with your sister Jacob. I will meet you back here in a bit.” He looked a bit unsure, and I gave him a reassuring smile.

It wasn’t like things weren’t chaotic everywhere. A smoke haze filled the air, drifting in from whatever Tony had mostly prevented one block over. Up and down the street cars were on fire, belching more of it into the sky. Bucky could barely see the what was happening anymore. He’d had to abandon his perch when it became impossible to tell civilian from threat.

Something smashed into the building next to him, several stories up glass shattered and a chunk of concrete broke free to slam into the street.

“Cap, if you’ve got any advice for an ex-archer without a home, I’m currently taking suggestions. This is getting a little extreme, don’t you think? Where’s Iron Man, anyway? I could really use an extraction.”

“Hawkeye, that is very helpful thank you. Can you see anything at all?”

“I’ve got a couple explosions down on fourth that are breaking through the dust and smoke. It still mostly looks like they’re trying to exterminate Tony. At least, that’s what I assume from what looks to be an exodus in at his last position.”

“Thor, give Clint his extraction and then see if you can find Tony. Bucky—”

“Yeah yeah, I’m on it.” Bucky changed direction, he’d seen a flash of Steve’s shield through the debris cloud a block or so back.

“Well, excuse him.” Came Clint’s voice over the line.

“Cap.”

“What is it Widow?”

“I’ve got more incoming.”

This time when Steve responded, Bucky could hear the strain in his voice, the line turning active before Steve could say anything. “Great—” There was a slam then Steve’s laboured breathing. “Of course you do—”  Another slam.

“C’mon Cap, Hawkeye’s right, this is supposed to be an execution.” 

Tony. Bucky breathed easier, Steve was in sight and Tony had finally responded over the comms.

“Not you too.” Steve managed while flinging himself off a building. He held the shield out beneath him and Bucky crouched, holding his hand out palm up. The shield hit first and Bucky rotated with it bringing Steve around to a soft landing leaving them back to back. Even with all the drama, the relief in Steve’s voice was almost as palpable as Bucky’s.

“You got a solution for us, Iron Man?” Bucky said. “Can’t say I’m all that excited to die here.”

Steve groaned behind him.

“See twinkle toes? If you’d just asked nicely—”

“Just answer the question, Tony.” Nat didn’t sound right.

“I do like to exceed expectations.” Tony’s voice had gone soft and distant. “Close your eyes.”

Bucky knew better than to hesitate. He slammed his eyelids shut, threw the arm up for good measure, and reached for Steve, who was already rotating to put the shield over both of them.

Even under the shield, the light that followed consumed everything. Luckily, it seemed to work. When Bucky blinked himself back to usefulness the air was clearer and the… bodies? Of the things they’d been fighting lay unmoving.

Giant, six foot exes—evil exes—like some primary school nightmare were strewn across the street as far as Bucky could see.

Bucky could hear the familiar sound of Tony approaching. He gave a slow twirl over and Bucky and Steve. “Excelsior!”

Bucky needed a new job.

[sleepycreekcrafts]

Need somebody to beta for my Joe x Nicky fic! It’s gonna be a super chessy, slow burn about our favorite immortal warriors and of course, horses.

Here is a small preview to get somebody interested, more under the cut:

“I have slain the man that sought 

my heart’s blood many a time

riding a noble mare who’s 

back none else may climb

the desert knows me well, the night,

the mounted men, as do the sword, 

the spear, and the pen.”

-Al-Mutanabi

Horses ran through their hands like the desert sand. 

Nicolo had fled Jerusalem on the back of a grey stallion, stolen from the streets of the fallen city, his master’s blood drying on his flanks. He was the desert breed, with a small, dished face and a strength and speed belying his small stature. Nicolo remembered leaning over his neck, fingers tangled in hair and reins, watching over his shoulders as the man he had already killed a dozen times over rose up again, stumbling to his feet, his eyes wide and harsh in his gaunt face.

It was later that the stallion’s ears had flickered in the darkness, he had heard the man coming before Nicolo had--too concerned with getting himself warm by the sputtering, measly fire he had been able to coax out of dried pine needles, branches and the edges of his tunic. He had fled to the mountains outside of Jerusalem. Towards something green. Something large enough he could disappear into. 

“Who’s there?”

He stood up with his sword drawn, peering into the night. Unwilling to be killed and then have to come back to life and start the fire anew. 

“Peace.”

It was the spectre from the battlefields, his turban loose and falling about his ears, beard still flecked with ashes from the fires that had consumed everything. Nicolo did not know the word, he had spent precious little time trying to learn the local’s language--why expend effort to understand their curses, the screams and begging? 

But he did understand the hands spread wide, the look of flat out exhaustion and the effort it must have taken for him to follow him all this way and find him here, nestled against a crumbling hillside sheltered by tall pine trees. Behind him, looking equally exhausted was a skinny horse lacquered with sweat, it’s tack ragged and blood stained. Another refugee of Jerusalem? 

The tip of his sword dropped and he hesitated. “You’ve come this far to kill me then?” Nicolo taunted, not yet willing to ceed any good will to what was surely a foot soldier of the devil. A mirror of his own curse or perhaps the source of it. How many times he had risen with his intestines still falling in loops about his waist, just to sink his blade further into Nicolo’s neck, to squeeze his hands a little tighter around his throat, to kill him first?

No, distance did not cure this too intimate knowledge. 

Yusuf’s hands fell a little too, with the realization of how much ground there was yet to cover. As if he could have thought differently. Someone so bloodthirsty, who would travel leagues to slaughter, to steal and plunder from those who had never raised a hand against them? It would take more than a gesture of good will to show this man what peace looked liked.
