#aisha's au challenge

[aisha-galaxia]

I'm a little bored these days so I'm giving myself a little challenge...

I decided that I will post an AssClass AU that my fucking brain imagine when I was bored in class from newest to oldest everyday (if I have time ofc)

Here's the list of the AUs, some are just keywords :

[nerdieforpedro]

WIP Tag Game (The XL edition) 🤣

I was tagged by @missredherring and sure I did it earlier this week. Could I have come up with a new WIPs because my mind is never quiet? 🤐

Yes, yes, Yes I did. 😆 I’m also structuring it similar to how she had it because it spoke to me. 🤭

Current foci (because having just one is difficult as I bounce around):

1. Weddings 101 with Dieter and @angelofsmalldeath-codeine - We’re going to finish it one day or at least the next chapter. Also AO3 link.

2. Coasting through the Rainbow 🌈 - I’m half way done with chapter four of this finally. 😆 2 and 1/2 more to go! Also AO3 link.

3. Waters of Lethe - The Qimir one. Maybe 2-5 parts? We’ll see where it goes. So far only one part. AO3 link

4. Honey and Sugarplum - With Jack Daniels and an OFC. Very sweet, smutty kinda and fluffy. ☺️ AO3 link.

Excuse me Ma’am? We’re over here in the back!

1. Unnamed Fae Jack Daniel fic for Monster Smash Challenge. I did write out some Fae facts for this one and I plan to keep it…..an actual one shot?! It’s been 900 years since Nerdie’s done one of those.

2. Fifty-Six Wildflower Lane - this one with Frankie still needs an ending, then I can post it here like. Just need part number four. AO3 link.

3. Tasting Ambrosia - Ezra, ever the scoundrel nagging at the back of my brain has a small WIP. No idea where this one is going. Also trying to do drama and will he make it out sort of deal. 👀

We been waiting for our day to come for so long:

1. Travel to You - A sweet and maybe a little obsessive Javi G? He’s adorable, has golden curls and can shoot those clay bird things down accurately so, totally fine. Have discord and FFXIV references, very nerdy. 🤣 AO3 link.

2. Therapy for the Well-Adjusted - Marcus Pike and Imani are finally going on that date. Or do they? Maybe they go somewhere else? Also AO3 link.

3. A Safe Place for Us - Dieter and Aisha continue to sort their feelings and trying to make a baby. What could go wrong? Also AO3 link.

4. Green Shop of Memories - that Marcus Moreno AU where I made him a wizard/warlock that owns a cafe. 😘 It’s all sad, and cute. Plus it has fairies and a Magic Council. Also fake dating? AO3 link.

5. Kissed by the Sun - I had an idea that Oberyn Martell was a son or descendant of Apollo and he pissed off Venus (Aphrodite if ya nasty) and was barred from his soulmate being able to interact with him other than his voice. Because…..I read too many Marcus A fics that kept referencing Roman gods. 🫡 AO3 link

6. Din’s in the Neighborhood- Modern Din AU that has him meet on OFC DV survivor post divorce. Also Grogu is a human boy and we have Finn/Poe. There’s also Johnnie Mae and Luke that are just together? No one’s asking and I don’t think either of them would given an answer. 😆 So many cameos and randomness, so little time. Side notes: I gave Din tattoos, Obi-Wan is a children’s author and there’s a Jedi Law & Order show. Also AO3 link.

7. Fire and Fury - Pero and Calista’s story likely has two more parts. Complete with smut, more fighting, a bathtub (I promised @avastrasposts that one) and they’ll get their revenge! But what happens after? Also AO3 link.

8. Hands of God - This could be a long one shot or I might have to split it up. The Marcus Acacius fic that @soft-persephone and @megamindsecretlair “gently suggested” that I write. I did start it. 👀 There will be some infidelity, plots, murder and a coup. Also a dash of smut just for seasoning. And maybe a subby Marcus A? Can I do it? Only time and Marcus’ sash will tell.

9. Front Office Adjunct - One of two Dave York fics. ☺️ Dave blackmails on OFC into working for him. Things appear to be stacked in his favor, but are they? This one is a slow burn one, enemies to lovers maybe? Also espionage, murder, violence, smutty and bad behavior. Just bad. 👀🤫 AO3 link

She hasn’t touched us in so long:

Pleasure Principle - The first series I ever started anywhere. Has Dave York in a toxic working on making it better relationship with an OFC. I’ll finish this one someday. 😭😭 Also AO3 link.

Uncomplicated Mi Amor - The fic where I swore I was going to have something sweet for Javier Peña. Which it is, I just haven’t finished it. 👀 Also I will finish someday. Also AO3 link.

Roc & Doc - A Tim Rockford crime series with an OFC ME that is my love letter to the likely thousands of hours I’ve spent watching crime procedurals or listening to true crime podcasts. Also AO3 link.

Some have just AO3 links, I haven’t gotten around to putting them on Tumblr yet and some are in both places. A few just exist in notes. 🗒️ I should also never look through my WIP this in depth again. This thing is very long. 🤣🤣🤣

NPT because you may have already done it but I described things this time around. 🙌🏽

Talk Shop Tuesday - what is the most ambitious fic you've ever written and what is the most ambitious fic you have planned?

Oooh well most ambitious fic I've written...that's i still love you (i promise)!

This was me trying to write the miscommunication trope in a way that worked for the plot without anyone seeming too stupid/OOC, which was a challenge, given that it involved two big Barry&Morgan fights 😅 I worried it might be too much, but thankfully it seems to have worked pretty well! But I'll be glad to finish editing + start posting the Barry POV fic and move beyond this particular set of episodes—there's so much more exciting things to come in this AU!

As for most ambitious fics I have planned...well, the s3 arc in the Morgan AU is gonna be pretty ambitious—somewhat of a rewrite, since I'm very much not a fan of canon s3 and want to come at Savitar from a different angle. Also the s5 arc...y'all are not ready 👀

The s2/Book 2 arc of the Bumizumi AU too—starting in s2, Bumi and Izumi are gonna cause some...interesting ripple effects that'll really escalate the stakes (most of the big events will be the same, but the emotional stakes for the Gaang will shoot way up...and you'll see what I mean when we get there!)

Also ofc the future fics of the CK AU! Specifically the ones involving the plot of Cobra Kai (the "CK arc" of the AU, which will be the bulk of it). I've been pretty open about the fact that in the back half of s2 and beyond, and especially post-s3, there's gonna be some major changes. What exactly those changes are...well, there's not much I can say other than:

—no love drama - Samguel and Torisha are the endgame ships here, and Sam, Tory, and Aisha are pretty much bonded for life by the time they get back to the show, so no rivalries (this means that someone else starts the 2x10 fight. Haven't yet decided how that plays out)

—Sam, Tory, and Aisha will drag the boys (Miguel and Robby) into it. And nip that rivalry in the bud

—Johnny will be called out for his bad parenting (Robby doesn't have to apologize to Johnny for anything idc)

—2x08 will not involve cheating or hurt feelings. If anything, it'll involve some lighthearted teasing and low-stakes betting 😂

—Daniel and Johnny reconcile...probably sooner than 3x10, all things considered? Maybe? But it sticks—none of that wishy-washy bs that the later seasons pulled. Once they resolve things, it's settled—any squabbles they have after that aren't serious

—Sam's time travel is gonna have some major consequences...especially regarding who knows and who doesn't 👀

Sunday Snippet

Thanks to @greeneyesfriedrice for tagging me in this! This snippet is from the second chapter of my YouTuber AU.

"Zee, please stop fueling this…” Louis groaned, sitting up and reaching for Aisha, cooing at her as he placed her in his lap. Harry instantly started smiling once Aisha was near, leaning on the sofa to make faces at her.”

“You know what, I’m down. Fiver says they’ll drive the other up the wall somehow.” Liam bet, reaching to shake hands with Niall as Harry scoffed slightly.

“Nah, Li. They’ve lived together for years already. I’m in for five- no, ten that they fall in love.” Zayn retorted, glancing at the oblivious duo next to him, both Harry and Louis trying to make Aisha laugh.

“Are you seriously gambling away our savings right now?! We’re not exactly flush!” Liam asked, nudging Liam slightly.

“You gambled as well,” Zayn chuckled, slinging an arm around Liam and pulling him into his lap, wrapping his arms around him, “Besides, either way we’re winning. What’s mine is yours remember.” He mumbled, nuzzling his nose into the crook of Liam’s neck as his partner tried his hardest not to blush. “I thought you were against the bet anyway.”

“Well, I can’t resist a good harmless bet. Besides, Niall owes me for the last bet we did and didn’t cough up so- I think he should put his money where his mouth is.” Liam announced, staring at the blond in challenge. 

Tagging (no pressure): @faithinwalls369 @larry-hiatus @larrysballetslippers @red-pandaaa and @bottomhaztoplou

Second Chance- Pokemon Au

Explanation of the Pokemon Family Tree

Pokemon Breeding

Pokemon Breeding works the same way we are used to, in this AU. Two Pokemons of different genders, One of their Egg Groups matches, and BAM... A freshly hatched Pokemon egg.

Or you can use a Ditto, but the first way it's the more importante for now.

But instead of the Pokemon born only matching their mother's species and perhaps inheriting a move from both parents, the baby Pokemon can be either the mother's or the father's species.

For example:

As you can see in the previous image, one baby of each parent species can hatch (depending, of course, on the number of eggs laid).

But Sunset, what does that have to do with your story?

Easy, we'll get there.

Aisha captured a Budew in the Viridian Forest. That should be impossible, as they are not native to Kanto.

In fact, the closest region with members of Budew's evolutionary line is Hoenn. In the Anime, the original Ash needed to take a ferry to get there.

A Roserade or Roselia wouldn't be able to reach Kanto by themselves.

But what do Pokemon trainers do most in Anime besides battling? They travel to new Regions for new challenges.

It's possible that someone camped in the Viridian Forest, left their Roserade out, and they found another Pokemon with the same egg group, thus spawning Budew.

Or, it could have been another option.

I think you can understand what I mean just by these images. Not there yet? One word: Genetics.

The third-generation parents of the Pokemon shown may not be a Lucario or a Gardevoir/Gallade. But their grandparents were.

And with the genes still this new? It's more likely to show up one that is not the same species as their parents.

So there will be a moment where genetics will have to toss a coin to see if they resurrect a species from five generations ago or more or if they let the strong genes keep coming up.

The same goes for Pokemons moves. The illustrative family tree above shows that the Eeveelutions descend from a Lucario. If that Lucario knew Double Kick, it's very likely that they could inherit that egg move or a hidden ability. Atention: This does not mean that Eevees will use Aura Sphere or other moves like that. Assume that if it is possible to learn a move in games or anime, it is likely that they will also be able to learn them in my story.

moon spending some quality time with her girls

masterlist  ☾ requests are open feedback is always important to me!

"WE'RE HERE!" Moon heard E:U's voice from the couch and she turned around to see her six friends entering her dorm, with some bags and foods on hands.

"Hi guys!" Moon said excited for seeing them after such a long time.

"We brought food, mascaras, nail polishes, some hair moisturizers, and, some gifts Yiren brought from China." Aisha said placing the bags on the floor, next to the kitchen.

"We missed you, Moonie!" Yiren said walking closer to the girl. "Can I hug you will it hurt?"

Moon giggled and hugged the girl.

"Oh my God, we missed you so much." Mina said also hugging the girl as if she was about to break.

It's been one week since her surgery and miraculously, she was feeling more than fine - to be more precise, she was feeling perfect like if that damn disk had never injured.

But dancing a whole song, standing up for too long or making some movements was still a challenge and while the boys were out and after her subtle invitation on her live, the Everglow girls decided to - finally - visit her.

"Your hair looks gor-geous!" Onda grasped, rubbing one lock of Moon's hair.

"Awn guys," Moon pouted. "thank you for coming, really."

"I thought Bee would come too." Siheyon said sitting on the couch. "We need to meet each other."

"Oh, I agree. But she had a schedule today and told me to tell you guys that she'll make up for it." Moon said nodding. "So, you guys want some water?"

"Actually, as our managers finally decided to give us some time we were thinking about chatting a bit." Yiren suddenly said.

Moon blinked and giggled.

"Unnie, what do you mean?"

"Come on Eunji..." Mia answered her. "We mean talk about Lucas, you never told us anything about him again. Are you guys still dating?"

"But we never did." Moon said still giggling.

"Never?" E:U asked shocked and Moon laughed out loud.

"Why are you guys acting like you didn't know about it?" Moon asked still laughing. "I told you guys everything. Someone followed us, took those pictures and the rest everyone already knows."

"But did you never..." Sihyeon tried to think of the right word. "Kissed?"

"WHAT?" Moon exclaimed in surprised. "No! I mean... What is this question?"

"She's getting shy." Yiren said pointing at the girl.

"No!" Moon protested and tried to hide her face with her hair. "I'm not."

"Come on!" Aisha shook Moon's leg.

"I did kiss once, but it was not Lucas." Moon said and then sighed. "Can we change topics?"

"As you wish, ma'am." Yiren said with a mischievous smile and took a bag off the ground, heading to the kitchen and taking Mia with her.

"And what about you guys?" Moon asked sitting on the couch and hugging Onda's torso, who clung even more on the girl. "What about your comeback?"

"Ugh," E:U sighed and tilted her head back. "exhausted."

"But, to be honest, I'm kinda nervous." Aisha said. "It's been so long since Dun Dun."

"Oh, I see..." Moon agreed. "But you guys are perfect, whatever you come with will be a success.""But we're not here to talk about us. Are you feeling okay?" Onda turned at Moon. 

"It's a little bit awkward to see the boys getting up and going to work while I sit here and let my back decide if it wants to get better or not. Me and Hongjoong oppa are still not talking to each other properly and the boys had their second win, without me." Moon listed and then she forced a smile. "So, I think you can say I'm pretty good." 

"Being honest Moon, I kinda understand his side. He's just felt disappointed because he thought you didn't trust him enough." E:U said. 

The whole room was quiet and Moon slightly frowned. Aisha, Onda and Sihyeon looked at E:U with wined eyes. 

"Unnie, why are you talking like if you knew him?" Moon forced a laugh. 

"Yeah, like..." Onda also said at E:U. "you don't know him at all."

"No!" E:U tried to turn the tables. "I'm talking like a leader. I'd feel the same." 

When Moon was about to protest, not a bit convinced by the girl's excuse, Mia screamed from the kitchen.

"THE FOOD IS READY!"

The five girls on the room got up at the same time and ran to the kitchen as if they were starving. They all grabbed the bows Mia and Yiren had placed on the counter with a bunch of chopsticks. 

Once they all had served their ramen and kimbap with a big cup ok Coke, they were all gathered in the living room again - Onda, Aisha, Sihyeon and Moon were all sat on the ground while the other girls were on the couch. The only thing filling the silence was the TV turned up on some random drama they had chosen at Netflix.

"I think that once everything is back on normal, Moon is allowed to dance and we're back, we should do something." Sihyeon suggested, breaking the silence. 

"Ya," Moon exclaimed laughing. "we are doing something already." 

"No, no, no.." Sihyeon waved her hand. "I meant something like a collab stage, or even a song." 

"Woah..." Aisha clapped. 

"Unnie, you're a genius!" Onda said excited. 

"Moon can call Bee to be part of it too." Mia said. "This way we can finally meet her." 

"That's right!" Yiren said smiling. "Oh my God, we have to buy one more friendship ring for her then." 

"Guys, she's pretty cal-" Moon tried to say. 

"YOU'RE RIGHT!" Mia suddenly screamed. 

"What is her favourite colour?" Yiren turned at Moon. 

"Yellow?" 

"We can buy that one we saw yesterday!" Mia and Yiren high-fived. 

"She'll be scared of us if you react like this." Aisha mumbled. 

"She's Moon's friend, she should be used to madness." Yiren said and Moon choked, making the girls laugh.

"Excuse me?" 

"I said nothing..." Yiren whistled, returning her attention to her food.

Magical Cats (Day 3)

I made this AU just because I'm in my magical girl phase again 😭

All the AUs are here

Summary :

Okuda is a girl that has a pretty normal life, except that she has no friends at school, her grades are... meh and almost all teachers hate her (poor baby gurl).

Her only true friends are cats, Okuda likes to be surrounded by cats for a reason she can't tell. She also has a part time job in a "neko cafe", there she met a black cat named "Purpura", Purpura is a female cat that has been found near a witch's house, there are a lot of rumors about the witch in question but most people don't believe them. Certain person believe the cat is possessed by demons but Okuda thinks otherwise, she believes that Purpura was mistreated and that she just needs love and cuddle.

One day, when she was feeding Purpura, some purple magic circles started appearing around the cat, Okuda touched one of them and teleported in another world with Purpura on her arms. When they arrived there, Purpura started speaking and explained to Okuda that she is one of the guardians who must protect the world of the Evil Queen.

At the same time, one of the Evil Queen's servant sent a monster to defeat Okuda, Purpura showed Okuda how to transform herself into her guardian form and beat the shit out of the monster. When the two finally arrived on Earth, Purpura explained to Okuda that there are 4 other guardians that are in the same city as her and that Okuda must find them to defeat the Evil Queen together.

That's it 🐱

WIP Tag Game!

thank you @justmattycakes for tagging me! Because I usually post when I have a sizable buffer and I do a lot of one shots, I literally only have like one released WIP right now. but I will show some unreleased things in the drafts 👀

*all unreleased titles are working titles; they may change!

relax my mind - WINX: Fate Saga Aisha/Musa fic. They're girlfriends your honor!! Next chapter is a cuddle sesh and I no longer know if it counts as canon-compliant or not.

Coming soon:

white on your heart (don't freeze cold) - Marvel Luna Snow(Seolhee)/Haewon. Rarepair central babey. This is currently the one I'm most excited about. I started this, like, one-two days ago and it's already reaching 5k... Hae Won is barely even a character, but she's kidnapped and Seol has to save her <3 Agents of Atlas cameos will be made. There's no audience for this fic, just my whims, so here's two snippets. Haewon gasped, hips bucking. "Seol, Seol." Her head landed on Seol's shoulder, a whine muffled by the fabric. "Your hands—.. They burn."

Breaking In - unreleased silkcat. This is just whump and reconciliation.. yeah I love them, what about it? Close to being done. "Who let me out of the bag?"

Ice rinks and roller skates - MCU Gwen/Cindy. I'd say, about halfway finished? I call this Effortlessly 2.0(affectionate) in my brain lmaooo. It's one thing to accept a kind family's invitation to drive you home, it's another to find the daughter that invited you ridiculously attractive.

SILK week: no spoilers!! But just know that I have mentally checked off every single challenge and have started writing😏 Still juggling my WIPs around to see which ones will be posted during this week but I have more or less of a plot for each prompt except one

Development Hell:

I'll be your beggar, your fool - unreleased Liz/Cindy. I just got to say, ever since I wrote Effortlessly... I am a SUCKER for this ship, I will go down with it. Still figuring things out, have written a few scenes. A look of relief broke out on Cindy's face. "Oh! Elizabeth Toomes, is that you?"

To Learn Every Note - Winx Club Aisha/Musa. I never should've had each chapter be like 6k... the chapter I'm working on is like 2k and it just. Won't. Grow.

What is Good, What is Bad - atla mailee. Superhero au!! 2 chapters out, 3rd I have started and gave up 💀 will pick back up eventually (I hope)

Save Me - unreleased atla Suki/Mai. Suki's taken prisoner; Mai oversees her trip to the Boiling Rock. This has been in the drafts for almost a year omg but it's over 10k words

Floral Killer - unreleased mailee mailee mailee (atla). Mai's heading back to Caldera with Ty Lee and Aunt Mura in tow for the Festival of the Fire Lily. During then she deals with flowers, assassins, legalizing same sex marriage, and maybe... fall in love? Wrote the beginning, still figuring things out tho

Flowers for... Azula?! - unreleased Mai/Azula au. Azula delivers Zuko's flowers to some girl. Yeah, some girl alright; if you can even call Mai "some girl."

that's all I'm gonna share! Only a drop in the WIP ocean. Everyone better read my Luna Snow fic when I publish 😤 I'm really liking it so far, rated M .... maybe E😳 (probably M because I am a COWARD)

Wolf and Raven Chapter 1

Been a while since I’ve done anything like this huh? Further explanations will be at the end.

Next

Masterlist

Snow always seemed to dampen noise. Even though there was some wind to be felt within the trees, it could barely be heard. It gently tossed snow and teased the edge of furs belonging to a figure with amber eyes just within the treeline. Watched the shore, waiting, hoping.

A black dot appeared on the horizon, getting larger and larger every second until a raven landed on the shore.

The figure within the tree line shot to their feet and began to walk out, only to pause as the raven changed shape.

Standing in the raven’s place was a woman, dark skin and hair with feathers intertwined with a braid at front and across the scalp. Clad in black clothing with a raven’s outstretched wings etched across her chest, and in one hand held a Staff of Power. Raven’s Staff of Power, but this was not the Raven the figure in the trees knew.

The woman turned slowly, scanning the water and the treeline, pausing only for a moment as her eyes landed on the hider’s position.

Finally, the person in the treeline left, trying to appear at ease as she approached. In contrast to the solid black of the woman on shore, this person had silvery hair tied back in a plait that poked out of her hood, dressed warmly in grey and white furs. She pulled down the fur lined cloak hood, appraising the newcomer with amber eyes, while a curved scar ran across her cheek.

“Did Raven send you?”

The woman clad in black narrowed her eyes a fraction. “I think you will find that I am Raven.”

“I see,” the woman in furs glanced at the Staff of Power in Raven’s hand. It was a bit more ornate than she remembered, perhaps to emulate the new holder. “My apologies Raven. Thank you for answering my call.”

“If it was your call I answered, then you must be Wolf?”

“I am she,” Wolf inclined her head slightly. “Welcome to my home.”

Raven scanned the snowy treeline behind them, nodding ever so slightly, her expression carefully schooled.

“I take it you were not expecting me,” Raven said, unreadable eyes meeting Wolf’s.

“I was not,” Wolf answered honestly. “I knew your predecessor, I was expecting him, if he came at all.”

“I hope to not disappoint.”

“I am sure that you will not,” Wolf smiled. “Are your Warriors on their way?”

“Aye. They will be here within the hour.”

“Excellent,” Wolf turned her gaze towards the water. “Please do not be insulted by them having to complete trials, the Giants wish to make their judgements.”

“I was expecting it,” Raven nodded, followed Wolf’s gaze.

Wolf nodded, folding her arms and shifting her weight slightly. The water was still as glass, reflecting the clear sky perfectly. Yet the wind still whipped by, catching whisps of hair that weren’t caught in the plait.

“Your message was not detailed,” Raven noted. “It merely asked for the help of Raven and the Warriors against a threat. What is happening here?”

Wolf took a deep breath. “I will explain in more detail once the Warriors arrive, but simply, the land is dying, and I believe that, Nevar, is behind it.”

Raven stiffened beside her before nodding. “Nevar is trapped in a desolate realm, but he seems to be able to influence this world from it, and move between at times.”

“I have seen his demons,” Wolf’s face twisted. “Whether Nevar is physically here is irrelevant. I can feel him. Like a rabbit feels the gaze of a hawk.”

Raven glanced up. “I feel it also.”

“It is worse the further you go into the forest,” Wolf shifted her weight again. “I hope that your Warriors are up to the task.”

“They will be.”

 ---

Raven’s timekeeping was excellent. An hour later four canoes had been pulled up onto shore and 16 Warriors were assembled. They were split into four groups of four, dressed in red, blue, green and white. They were the Stoats, the Bears, the Lynx and the Hawks, respectively.

Raven stepped towards them.

“Warriors,” she spoke. “Welcome to the Wilds of the North. We have been summoned here to aid in a great peril. Nevar and his forces have reached this place, and we will need your help to remove him,” she turned to look at Wolf. “This is Wolf, the one who summoned us here, she will provide more information.”

Wolf stepped forward, eying the Warriors. They were young, too young in her opinion. However their faces were determined and they held themselves with great confidence.

“I have sensed Nevar’s presence within this land for several weeks, and have heard word on the wind that he and his forces have set up a fortress in the heart of this forest,” Wolf cast her arm back to gesture to the trees behind her. “At the centre of this forest stands a mighty tree, which is the beating heart of these lands. Recently a dark corruption has spread from the heart, poisoning the creatures of this land.

“The rulers of this land, the Giants, also fear. For they are connected to this land as any of the trees, and this corruption is weakening them. They are the ones who asked for me to call for help, and they will be the ones testing you. They cannot risk the impure of heart reaching the Heart Tree.

“More shall be explained as time goes on, but for now we shall proceed to the leadership trials. Follow me.”

Wolf began to walk into the trees and Raven followed, the Warriors in single file behind.

The Leadership trials were simple, one physical and one mental challenge for each team. Above them the trees creaked and groaned and Wolf could feel the Giants watching, judging.

The Leaders were selected and Wolf stepped forward.

“Congratulations Warriors, your leaders have been selected. Heed them well. Leaders, look out for you team, guide them well. The Giant’s Trials will begin tomorrow, so I suggest you get plenty of rest. I shall report back to the Giants, and reconvene with you all in the morrow. Goodnight.”

Wolf stepped away from the group, changing into a grey wolf before loping off into the forest.

Raven watched the Warriors set up camp until she noticed the purple glow coming the Raven’s Eye. With a quick excuse she walked into the trees, away from camp, and summoned Raven of Old.

A man in a black feathered mantle and black cloak, black hair and beard appeared from purple smoke.

“Is everything proceeding as planned?” he asked.

“The Warriors have arrived safely and have selected their leaders. They will be ready for the challenges that await them.”

Raven of Old nodded. “And Wolf?”

“She has been helpful. She is advising the Warriors and acting as liaison for the Giants.”

Raven of Old looked away briefly before looking back at Raven. “I suggest that you be careful around her. Do not trust her.”

“Why? Do you not trust her?”

Raven of Old levelled his gaze at Raven, eyes peering right through her. “She has betrayed me before. Keep your eye on her.”

“I understand,” Raven tilted her head ever so slightly.

Raven of Old nodded in approval before looking around the snow covered trees. “This is a strange land, with many enemies. I will do my best to gather information on Nevar’s forces from the desolate realm. Keep your wits about you young Raven, and may the luck of the Raven’s Eye be with you.”

“Thank you Raven,” Raven nodded, before Raven of Old disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.

For a moment, Raven let the mask slip, uncertainty flitting across her face before squaring her shoulders and walking back to camp.

Wolf meanwhile had run to the outskirts of the forest, where the trees gave way to the grey rock and scrubby grass of the mountain foothills. She sat for a moment, tongue lolling as she caught her breath, before tilting her head back and howling.

By the time the first echo had faded, the rocks in front of her had moved, shifting and twisting until they resembled one, massive, foot.

The sky darkened above her as the mountain moved, and a rocky hand lowered, each finger the width of a canoe. Wolf stepped onto the hand and settled in the palm as it rose up again. She shifted to human as the hand brought her higher, and stood up when the hand juddered to a halt.

A face loomed in the clouds, craggy lips as long as a tree was tall and eyes more than twice the size of Wolf’s head. The skin was the colour of the rock, in fact it was the rock. These weren’t mountains, but the sleeping Giants themselves.

“Reeeepoooort,” the Giant rumbled like thunder.

“The Warriors show promise, they have selected their leaders from the trials, and will be ready for the challenges you bring in the morning.”

“Aaaand the Daaark Oooone?”

“There was no sign of him. Your wards around the trials were effective.”

“Gooood. The Raaaaven whoooo iiiis nooot a raaaaven, hooooow faaaaress sheee?”

“She appears to fare well. She was not who I expected, but I will take what help I can get.”

“Gooood. Reeest liiiittle Woooolf. Theee fooorest groooows daaarkeerrr eeeaach daaaay.”

“I will. I know.”

The hand began to lower her back to the ground, and once down Wolf began to hike back to her own camp.

A/N

So, hi. Been a while since I actually posted something here that wasn’t The Watch AU related, huh?

It's not that I haven't been writing, just not anything that's finished, and you all know I don't like to start posting stuff unless the whole thing is finished.So, this is still fanfiction. This is fanfiction for the series Raven, from CBBC. If you've never heard of it, it's a medieval themed gameshow that I grew up with that aired from 2002-2010 with the og Raven (here as Raven of Old), played by James Mackenzie, and returned for 2 series in 2017-2018 with a new Raven played by Aisha Toussaint, with Raven of Old popping in in a similar manner to what was in this chapter.

This is going to be in the style of the story based spin-offs (Raven: The Island, Raven: The Secret Temple, and Raven: The Dragon's Eye), with less focus on the contestants/Warriors and more on the acted characters. I had this idea around 2009 and recently got reminded of it and wanted to make it half decent. Obviously when I first thought of this, James Mackenzie was still playing Raven all the time and there was not even a hint of Aisha Toussaint's Raven, but there you go.

Wolf is my OC in all of this, and the Giants and the Land to the North are my own concept, but Nevar and both Ravens are canon to the Raven universe.

Thank you to @fairyofsomething for reading this over for me!

Giant Speech not elongated

“Report,”

“And the Dark One?”

“Good. The Raven who is not a raven, how fares she?”

“Good. Rest little Wolf. The forest grows darker each day.”

A Day Long Overdue

Summary: Jack is allowed to spend his birthday with the egos. (Essentially a sequel to A Talk With The Creator).

Hey, guess which AU isn’t dead! It’s been like 3 months since I last posted something for the Creator AU (or anything for that matter) but I’m back. Have some bittersweet fluff with a hint of angst.

Jack wakes up, older than he remembers being. He's in a bed, a medical one at that. It would appear he was in Schneep's medical bay. There is no recollection of being sent here. The grogginess is interfering with that. He should probably find an assistance button to alert the doctor. That's when he notices the cards. Upon further inspection, he can only assume these are for a birthday. His birthday. He is able to read some of them before a commotion is heard in a different part of the building. Henrik stands in the doorway, seemingly incapable of not staring at him. Unsure of how to break the ice, Jack comes out with "I guess I'm not 27 anymore, am I?" "Not really." His doctor remains stationary, smiling until his attention diverts to the collection of footsteps approaching. "Wait! He's not ready yet." "Schneep, what the hell are you doing? We want to see Jack too." That sounded like Chase. "Just one minute." Henrik points to someone Jack can't see. "You see him first." "So it is your birthday today. We got you cards and presents. But there is something I think you will like better than all that." "What is it then?" Jack smiles humourously. Schneep turns his head back to the corridor. "Come now." Dressed in jogging bottoms and a hoodie which swallowed him, a teenager stepped into his view. Eyes brim the longer he takes in the image of Jack sitting up in bed. His face has matured a little since they'd last been in the same room. All those months he'd been petrified at the thought of him being hurt while held captive, where he'd pointlessly jotted down memorable events in the hope the youngest ego was still alive to possibly read them one day. All that fruitless hoping and searching must have finally produced a result. It had caused him to be standing feet away. The kid even had a bit of a quiff going on. Jackie. Fuck, this was Jackie. "Hey." Jack breathes out an incredulous "No way." Jackie takes a seat on the bed. The hero's embrace is stronger than the one he can return. Jack gets so lost in mutterings of 'Oh my god' and 'You're okay' that it accidentally becomes melded together at one point. When they both register the blunder, they dissolve into snickers. "I think I forgot how to English properly." "I think so too." "How long have you been back?" "September 2017." "We missed each other by a month?" Jack stares at the baby of their little family. "Yeah." "That sucks." "You have no idea." Tears are wiped but it proves futile as they are immediately replaced. "We've all missed you so much." "You can say that again." Jack glances past Jackie's shoulder to see a small crowd crammed by the entrance to the room. Before he is allowed to greet anyone else, Henrik insists on detaching him from as many wires as was necessary. Once given the all clear, Jack is left beaming as he is encompassed by three of his friends. Chase has a revelation about someone who shouldn't be missing out on the action. He sprints down the corridor to fetch them. He is perched on the bed, assuring Henrik he felt absolutely fine, when the two return. One near-inaudible 'Crikey!' is all it takes for him to freeze. Surely not. Yet there was one of his oldest friends. Angus didn't appear so run down. Was this for real? First Jackie was home and now Angus was healthier. He hadn't been awake for very long and it is already shaping to be a fantastic day. "You look much better than the last time I saw you." "Speak for yourself, mate." He can't help but sob as he approaches Angus. At least the survival hunter wasn't leaving him to be the only one. He is so grateful for the others allowing the two of them to stay in each other's hold for as long as they needed. It's been so long since his Australian friend has been this present. God, it's been so so very long. Despite Henrik not being sure it was for the best, the five of them lead Jack to the living room. Apparently, they had bought a cake to commemorate the day. He had always been partial to red velvet. Although, thinking about it, that was likely the point of them picking that flavour. Cake was still cake either way. He wasn't going to pass up the opportunity for a slice. He notices a German Shepherd hovering by Jackie. He assures his dog that she doesn't need to work at that moment. Work? Gwen, Jackie clarifies, is a service dog to help with his mental health. She sleeps in his room and keeps him company for most occasions excluding his heroing duties. Oh, okay. Well, that just makes her even more of a good girl, doesn't it? Marvin mentions the expansion of his cat collection. Hardeen and Houdini tended to do their own thing while Trico was up for cuddles most of the time. There was also his rabbit whom he had dubbed Tim the Enchanter. Hang on, hang on, so Marvin was saying that not only did he have the Egyptian goddess of cats but also one of the best known magicians in history and his brother, the best fictional creature in gaming as well as a minor character in Monty Python as pets? The magician's completely straight expression as he challenges Jack to fight him causes him to burst into laughter. Trico turning out to be from a small breed makes it all the better. Chatter explodes between the group over cake slices. Okay, let him get this straight. He has been a coma for the past year and a half. Schneep still isn't sure what exactly the illness that caused this was. Regardless, it's good to have him conscious once more. It is not his 28th birthday as he had initially presumed but his 29th. In that time, a fan game was released which aided in Angus regaining some strength. There were four new egos: a community-conceived zombie called Robbie, Shawn Flynn who was born from a Bendy voice acting gig. Jameson Jackson the pumpkin carving actor that communicated via BSL and an android nicknamed S34Nnor. On top of all that, there was a significant lack of green in anyone's hair. Jack wasn't going to say it out loud but perhaps Chase's beard could use a trim. Not only was Sean doing voice acting gigs, he had travelled across America and Europe with his own comedy show. He was interviewing celebrities too. Sorry, what do they mean, Sean met Ryan Reynolds?! Wow, that was huge. They mention Sean also hanging out with some guy called Bryan Dechart but that name doesn't ring bells. "Okay, Chase, do the line." Jackie encourages. "Alright but that was Sean's series so... keep that in mind." Chase take a breath in preparation then, "Hi, I'm Connor, the android sent by Cyberlife." They all cheer and laugh at that. S34Nnor speaks up. "As a combination of both the character of Connor and Sean, I believe I can improve upon your already good attempt." The line is repeated and everyone becomes excitable once more. "Yes!" The outburst is Chase's as he points to the android with a grin. When the noise has died down again, his expression appears to make his new words honest. "I'm planning on stealing that jacket one day." "You're going to have to fight me for it." Jackie gives a disingenuous glare. "Besides, I'm part machine now sooo go off, I guess." Jack loves the atmosphere. It's been years since it has been this lively here. If this was February 2019 then it must be over two years since their household has been whole. After Halloween 2016, they lost Jackie's playfulness. His absence had been deeply felt throughout the house. It didn't matter now. Who cares if he's so out of the loop that this Cyberlife stuff and any other running jokes don't make sense to him? This house has been missing this sort of energy. He refuses to risk killing it. However, one comment piques his interest. Something tells him to broach this subject carefully. It seemed like it may be sensitive. "Part machine?" "Oh right. Well, I don't technically have any knees anymore." Jackie gestures to his legs. "Prosthetics, both of them." That made sense, given the comment. It doesn't faze him in the slightest that Jackie has had life altering surgery at such a young age. Nope, not at all. "....Prosthetics." "Yeah, it's not that big of a deal. I just hurt my legs when I was getting out." "He has been doing very well with the physical therapy." Henrik smiles. Coming back with a drink in hand and a grin, Jacques pats the superhero's shoulder. "Got a little crush too. What is her name? Aisha?" "Nyesha. And I don't have a crush on her. We're just friends. Not even close ones at that. Tori is aesthetically admirable too." "What a sophisticated way of pronouncing attractive." Marvin teases. "Stop!" The hood was up now with the surrounding strings yanked. "Okay, okay, I think I've got the idea." Jack leans closer. "Promise me you'll let me know if you ask her or anyone else out, alright?" Out of resignation, Jackie mumbles out a "Sure.", only to sit up and divert the attention to the magician. "Marv has a partner though." "Oh, does he?" At this, the new subject of the conversation chuckles, happily telling Jack whatever he wants to know. Jack tries to protest when Jackie is given alcohol. With a soft smile, the youngest member of this family reminded Jack he was 18 now. Of course he is. It was 2019. Jackie has been 18 for some seven months now. July next year, he'll be entering his 20s. Actually, now that Jack thought about it, he and Sean would be 30 next February. Well then. That wasn't crazy to think about. Speaking of Sean, the two of them should really sit down and have a discussion. Although hazy, memories were slowly converging to form recollections of the disastrous dispute. There was a lot to talk about. He's lost eighteen months of his life. There were amendments to be made. If Sean's been on a worldwide tour, he wants to hear about it from the horse's mouth. That must have been an amazing experience. And Signe, he wonders how she's doing. He always regretted the way she kept getting indirectly caught up in his and Sean's dysfunctional friendship. He should wish Sean a happy birthday. That's probably a decent first step to brokering peace. Plus, if his long time friend woke up from a coma on his birthday, that would probably make his day. Jack can only hope Sean would agree. He makes an off-hand comment about this. The idea of reconciling with Sean gets shot down within seconds. Jesus, he doubts he's seen this level of hatred in Marvin towards anyone other than Anti. What the hell did Sean do to warrant this sort of universal repulsion towards him? "Trust me, you do not want to know." Henrik grumbles. Right. In that case, he'd better leave it until tomorrow. Jack is careful when enquiring about Chase and Henrik's families. He's pleasantly surprised when it is generally positive. Chase sees his kids on weekends now which is fantastic. But surely Noah couldn't be little over a week away from turning 5. He was just 3. Willow and Alina were much more confident readers. Jack remembers two little girls who struggled to piece together syllables in simple sentences. They would both be beginning primary school in September. Likewise, Elias was already in his first year of secondary school. Could people stop getting older? He can't keep up. He laughs with them when Chase says "You think they're growing up too fast for you." They order pizza in the evening. Schneep is still against him eating solid food but relents once more. Jack has eaten cake today and there have been no repercussions. As Jacques and Jackie debate with Angus about whether stuffed crust enhanced the experience, Jack took the opportunity to get to know Jameson. With Chase translating, he discovers this is a unique ego. An entire life before coming to exist here. It's such a novel concept to Jack. Even he, as the first ego Sean ever made, can't imagine having proper memories prior to creation. He's used to the others being born with limited memories. Man, he could listen to this guy's anecdotes of the early 20th century all night if he and Chase were willing to carry on that long. They are still hanging around in the living room as midnight is crossed. Some egos have already excused themselves to retire to bed. Once Jack realises it is nearing 1am, he urges everyone else to head to their beds. They shouldn't stay up for him. Besides, he was the one who didn't sleep, remember. He would never wish for them to become sleep deprived for his sake. They refuse and remain. Before long, the man who never slept was experiencing long blinks. Was he tired? Wait, no, this isn't right. The only time he's felt this close to collapse is when... when it's a medical emergency. Like when his throat was bleeding. Or when all he knew was that he didn't feel well. Henrik crouches before him, steadying him in his hold. It's not okay. Stop saying it's going to be okay. Something's wrong, incredibly wrong. Henrik takes his hands, encouraging him to stand. The doctor explains it's likely the sudden regaining of consciousness is catching up with him. Assurances that it was perfectly fine for him to be feeling like this are repeated as they head towards the infirmary. All Henrik wanted to do was monitor him safely. Jack's arm couldn't help slipping from where it was wrapped across his friend's shoulder. Schneep adjusted it without hesitation every time. He defies his eyes any attempt they make to gain an advantage over him. Even when laying on the bed, he refuses the urge to relax. Henrik promises nothing will happen. He is as much of a Good Doctor as he is his friend, right? Please trust he will try to provide the best care he's able. He knows he has failed him before but- "Never!" Jack protests. "You are little bit tired. Is okay for you to sleep. Don't need to fight the sleep, my friend." "Not..." He drifts, only to remember himself a minute later. "Not a failure." "Thank you. Now please rest. We can have a lot of the chit chatting in the morning, yes?" "A'right." A roll of the eyes. A drowsy half smile. A prolonged exhale. And that's all it takes for them to lose him once more. No matter how much Henrik sits, gripping his friend's hand as the monitors revert to the figures they were displaying previously, it won't prove helpful in the slightest to permanently wake Jack up. When Marvin regretfully comes to urge him to get some sleep himself, Henrik waves him off. Just a few more minutes, okay? Then he'll go to bed. As much as they had to fault Sean on, they couldn't say he hadn't done something good today. Henrik can only hope Jack had enjoyed his birthday. Maybe they'd be able to celebrate with him next year too. Maybe. Either way, he couldn't stay here the whole night. With a final check of the equipment, he bids him goodnight. "One of these days, we will get longer. I promise."

oc halloween challenge  → day twenty-seven: marvel AU

↳ Dorothy Fraser & Aisha Omran + The Winter Soldier & Black Widow

[freshstartfromscratch]

Ok. There's so much to unpack here.

Taking all the problematic depictions aside for a moment - it's just badly written. I don't like the style, pacing and dialogues of this story.

I like the idea of social media AU so here's a ⭐

Now taking all the problematic depictions back from the side, I have two conclusions for my own writing:

1. I'm not perfect but at least by my WIPs I can say that I did a better job on portraying Altaïr in these few headcanons and imagines I have written (and didn't publish yet) than this author did for the 80 chapters. That's why the religion section is taking me so long for the roommates AU - I have to verify whether or not my ideas align with cultural aspects of multiple beliefs systems. Writing Ezio and Arno is easy for me as they're (at least culturally) Catholic (just as I am) but even writing for Jacob who's (at least culturally) Anglican is challenging - it's a different and unfamiliar branch of Christianity to me so I have to research it but at least at it's core it is familiar territory - Christianity. Now writing Altaïr and Connor is a whole different story altogether. Altaïr would be (at least culturally) Shia Muslim - completely different religion from the one I know. Islam in terms of familiarity is an Abrahamic religion, the God worshipped by Islam, Christianity and Judaism is the same God. The concept of God is the same, well that's not the case for Connor. To write Connor's religion I have to learn and understand a completely different idea of God and philosophy behind it.

It is super important to prepare yourself before writing such characters. I honestly recommend talking to people form those communities - irl is the best but online is just as valid, and reading books by authors from those communities. For Connor I read Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Potawatomi professor Robin Wall Kimmerer to get the grasp of how the Indigenous knowledge and beliefs affect how modern Aboriginal People perceive the world, and Stories from the Magic Canoe of Wa'xaid by Briony Penn and Cecil Paul to see and understand what goes through the mind of someone who went through a traumatic experience related to their identity and culture, about their recovery and the role of beliefs and philosophy in this recovery. For Altaïr I researched Muslim writers and picked a copy of Once Upon an Eid: Stories of Hope and Joy by 15 Muslim Voices edited by Aisha Saeed and S. K. Ali. I asked about Eid on Tumblr and I asked Muslims (or people who are Atheists but grew up in Muslim households) I know irl about it, because I want to do it justice in my writing, even if it's a headcanon for AU from a 2007 game.

I'm definitely not an expert on Islam or the Indigenous knowledge but I have enough information to not make basic mistakes like the author of this fic. I don't want a golden star for it because that's a bare minimum, if you want the characters you're writing appear believable.

I did make some insensitive decisions regarding my content in the past. I was aware that it might come across as controversial and I tried to frame it in a respectable manner. It didn't work out in the end, but at least I tried and took into an account the problematic nature of said content. When a person related to the community involved told me - "hey, that's not ok because X" I presented my perspective but in the end changed the controversial parts because I respect what other people feel and went through. A simple rule - Treat Others The Way You Want to Be Treated.

2. After reading it I'm honestly afraid of writing 😂. Like the fear of @asscrackcreed verbally smashing me into a pulp in the sidewalk cracks is real./j

3. Siblings and incest stuff. Plz no. Tell me you don't have siblings without telling me you don't have siblings. As it was said before me I'll repeat for those people in the back:

Siblings do not talk to one another about their sex lives!

It's like talking about it with your parents or grandparents. Gross, awkward and just a nono.

I don't think I have to say that incest is gross. Even among cousins it's just gross when you think about it.

Overall it was very helpful and I enjoyed reading your inputs 😂 because I definitely didn't enjoy reading the actual fic.

breaking down this fic for no reason other than im bored - i stopped at chapter 24 i cant do this in one go so maybe a part 1

its such a white perspective clearly because malik doesnt come home from a party and after panicking that his mums gonna kill him she doesnt say anything and ??? idk the fact that they drink they’re not religious in any way shape or form despite the fact that religions especially islam have a heavy cultural impact so theres no excuse as to why hes a complete atheist. ik this fic was made in 2014 but damn these ppl hate muslims fr we never get rep in fics??? anyways altaïr is a complete homophobe and has a little flirty banter with des but thats his cousin ? uhm. des is like ‘no dont be homophobic’ and then says ‘nvm ur not relevant enough to be cancelled’ thats just chapter 1 btw

malik has a blog where he shits on altaïr and he made it after accidentally sleeping with him because uhm he has nothing better to do… this is so OOC even if altaïr is a complete homophobe and misogynist i cant see malik make an anonymous blog and everything to call out his immorality… PURELY for his immorality its not like a tumblr blog he made sassbadgers just to shit on altaïr… and then he has a moment where he responds to an altaïr stan, she says hey women are made for men and malik was like i dont believe in any religions so im not responding to that but thats an L for you anyways cuz wtf

ok but islam literally says that women are humans and shouldnt be treated like sexual objects wtf do u mean ? this is a basic principle? youre mum is muslim? hello.?

HE WAS BORN WHERE.

then he continues to laugh at said delusion fan for thinking shes married to altaïr… i know ppl like that are real… but this adds nothing to the story and given 2014 the whole ‘women getting involved in my gay ship’ drives me insane

this series does not have to be 75 chapters btw its full of fillers and irrelevant shit like why do i need to read about malik getting on the bus texting kadar for giggles idgaf

altaïr likes christmas but hes not religious my man ur dad was muslim and ur family did nothing to uphold that? huh? are they all islamophobes?

why does malik keep referring to altaïr as Mr Ibn-La’Ahad if he has no respect for him why is he addressing this guy appropriately just call him a bitch and get it over with

malik in this fic is a pretentious bitch. stop using big words just cuss him out and go taking so much time just to tell me kadar cant read big words - chapter 6 btw

leonardo and malik being roommates is cute tho i’ll give them that - at some point leo has a crush on malik i think to stir the tea but it doesnt work because… they’re too alike in this fic? they finish each other’s sentences type of alike not every gay man needs to date each other fuck sake

WHY IS MALIK TELLING KADAR ABOUT HIS SEX LIFE IS THAT NORMAL… I DONT TELL NAT ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT I DO EW and why does kadar keep asking ‘when are u gonna tell mum’ this really really really fucking annoys me as someone with a religious mum can kadar stfu shit like coming out to someone who doesnt seem alright with it is practically dangerous?????

yk how ppl said altaïr was aloof for not catching on al mualims evil plans - yeah they seemed to really fucking run with this trope good god hes so dumb its pissing me off this isnt altaïr - he says hes not bothered to take care of his stock shares or whatever ??? the source of their grandmas wealth HUH… tf do u mean ik its pre development altaïr but he wasnt neglecting responsibilities he was just a huge fucking asshole that fucked up cuz of his ego so what is going on here

im not reading this shit theres SOOOOOO many convos and NOOOOOOTTHIIINNGGG HAPPPEENNNIIIIINNGGGG

so altaïr thinks the writer behind sassbadger is a woman and is tryna flirt with ‘her’ its funny and i like it tbh but shit drags so slowly ffs

ig they’re falling in love but altaïr and malik message eachother about how maliks being nicer to him… but the reason is so dumb ‘because u purposefully make videos for ppl to laugh at u how can u be okay with that?’ what. isnt he homophobic and misogynistic what are u talking about. how is that a reason to be nicer either shit on him or stfu

also it doesnt make sense if u dont like someone esp because of their morals then… u wouldn’t interact with them on a happy social level i dont like that maliks already like bantering with him

Malik: Hey

Leo: Hey!

Malik: Sex?

Leo: Weren’t u meant to be studying

Malik: Well Im not

maybe im nitpicking rn but man the sex is so awkward like no foreplay? no setting the mood? the little convos dont make sense like if hes asking for sex hes clearly not… gonna study…? like what this author is so OOC with everyone

DES EZIO MALIK AND INTERNET PPL KEEP TELLING HIM TO STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE AND HIS RESPONSE IS ‘im not gay! i dont like gays! keep ur dick away from me!’ wheres the critical altaïr gone this isn’t fun to read the writing itself isnt bad its just like… so much and so little happening at the same time why dont you tell me how hes so afraid of being gay instead of telling me ezio is an ‘ally’

why did they make maria thorpe… posh? is it cuz shes british?

if altaïr and malik are falling in love in chapter 15 wtf is gonna happen for the other 60 chapters ???

altaïr slept with claudias friends ? that feels weird uhm

also i forgot to say malik ended up moving in with leo or smth and then he was like no im going home i didnt quite pick up why maybe i was scrolling too fast but do u see what i mean? so much stalling that adds nothing to the story

the world building was going well it was really interesting seeing how the family works idk why they villanised giovanni but yk whatever william miles was a shit dad and des ran away to his grandma who cut william out of the will and giovanni took williams side cuz des was ‘being a lazy boy’ so he got cut out too and despite the auditores being rich and having 4 production companies to their name they’re still assholes who treat des like shit except for ezio and claudia now altaïr wants justice

see? going well interesting story so why tf are they making altaïr exotic and saying he knows 10 languages ffs - ‘English, Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Russian, enough Finnish to ask directions and very little Korean.’ i wonder why they’re all (but two) european languages… what does he need to do with all those languages tf how exotic

ok so uhm altaïr fought ezio cuz of the whole des thing uhm very counterproductive but now they have matching lips scars. this is so silly thats the only word i can think ezio wasnt even involved with des’ situation even ezios like wtf are u attacking me for i… is this the only way altaïr could get a scar? tf

again kadar doesnt need to tell his brother hes gonna masturbate tf is wrong with this author

kadar liking a muslim girl is nice tho

??? ITS RAMADAN? YOU CANT HAVE SEX IT BREAKS THE FAST… if it was during the night it’d be fine just have a shower asap but i mean. COME ON.

ik altaïrs not religious but he eats ham…

how does the author know all these words… wdym ‘surah’ dont tell me the authors muslim

whys altaïr fighting ezio AGAIN weve established it doesnt help anything
