#desmond and clay coparenting while falling in love

[teecupangel]

Got any Clay/Desmond post flare time travel shenanigans in mind?

Taking some notes from this post, have some unorganized notes/idea for Clay/Desmond post-flare time travel. (I am going to assume Clay/Desmond means "Clay x Desmond" and not "Clay or Desmond")

Unorganized Notes:

Clay wants to cause chaos to screw with the Calculations, Desmond wants to save the people he cares about.

Clay’s pretty much following Desmond’s plans but he has backup plans that pretty much boils down to: “if shit goes down hard, grab Desmond and run”.

The Bleeding Effect really screwed up Clay’s psyche and sometimes, Desmond is the only thing that he thinks as real because time traveling does not help alleviate his current situation.

Renaissance Italy would be the hardest for Clay because he did relive Ezio’s life.

Clay is jealous of Desmond and Desmond’s ancestors. He’s jealous of Desmond for not being as fucked up as he is. He’s jealous of Desmond’s ancestors because he believes that Desmond cares for them more than he cares for Clay.

They started out as friends, maybe even friends with benefits. Their relationship only grew romantic as they continue to try and change the past.

It would be funny if the main plot of a Clay/Desmond time travel shenanigans is if they accidentally adopted a kid and that screws up the plot?

In the 3rd Crusades, they accidentally adopted Altaïr after Clay kidnapped him after Umar’s death and Desmond doesn’t have the heart to return him to Al Mualim.

Renaissance Italy wouldn’t be them adopting the Auditore siblings, nah, for some reason, Clay adopts Leonardo and Desmond doesn’t realize it until he realized that ‘Leo’ is short for Leonardo.

Instead of adopting Ratonhnhaké:ton, Clay and Desmond becomes coparents/uncles of Ratonhnhaké:ton after a tense talk with the Clan Mother who let them stay in the village (although they were being watched the entire time but that’s cool with them)

Desmond being the idiot who accidentally kidnaps Haytham after watching Tessa calling him a monster.

Clay adopting Arno after his father’s death because he had been in Versailles as a tourist and thinking that a traumatized child would be a good souvenir for Desmond. (That’s what he would tell Desmond anyway but Desmond knows that Charles Dorian was helping Clay with finding an Isu related thing in France and he feels responsible for his death)

Desmond and Clay not adopting the Frye twins until they get to London and, no matter how many times the twins remind them that they weren’t children, Desmond and Clay just wave it off and still call them their chaotic children.

It ends with sorta found family setup and their adopted child(ren) saying “Yeah, those are my dads. They’re weird but I love them anyway”

From @artduringclasstime:

Desmond and Clay co-parenting every big name in the Brotherhood feels like it would lead to some overblown legend about these two immortals who choose the worthy or smth, but when people meet them they're just. Chaos incarnate. But ngl when I saw "Des and Clay kidnap a child" my immediate first thought was Khemu, right when he should've died, and they flail around trying to return him to Bayek only to overshoot by a year, when the Hidden Ones had already been established

Oh, definitely. If we add in the idea that they don't age (as time bends to their will) and they'll even be thought of as gods by some (much to Clay's amusement and Desmond's chagrin).

It could be something stranger like maybe Desmond and Clay were aiming for the Apple when they time traveled but all they saw was Khemu about to die and they both reacted. Clay went for the Apple, Desmond for Khemu, both of them knowing what the other was going to prioritize (or, at least, believing that the other would know their plan without saying anything) and the way they time travel is finicky at best so they were able to grab both but their time traveling thingie wasn’t done and they get transported once more.

And I think it would be a fun idea for them to get transported in the plot of the Curse of the Pharaoh. This way, they’d have an actual goal “Deal with whatever POE is making a mess” while also trying to help Khemu heal.

Khemu stays with them because they promised that they’d help him find his parents (“If they’re even still alive…” “Clay!”) after they deal with the POE.

And because the POE mainly creates illusions, Bayek sees Khemu and thinks that he’s a hallucination although…

Even though he now knew that the Apple could conjure illusions and Aya believes that Bayek had seen both an illusion and didn’t want to believe that their son was dead, Bayek never lost hope that he’d find his son again and thought Desmond and Clay as gods (“Oooohhh bboooyyy.” “Damn it, not again.”) that had ‘spirited away’ his son.

(As for the other Layla Trilogy)

Desmond and Clay finding and raising Deimos instead of the Cult? So Kassandra becomes a mithios and when she gets reunited with her long-dead (as far as she knew) brother, Alexios (whose name would probably be changed to something like… Aetós???), he’s pretty much an Assassin at that point.

Now, my bias for Hytham would tell me that Desmond and Clay could totally adopt Hytham instead and Desmond joins the Hidden One (because what else is he supposed to do?) while Clay had fully accepted his role as a house husband (with a side-job of information broker/informant logistic officer in their dear home) and they go to Ravensthorpe after receiving a letter from their son how his mentor is being sus.

From @zero-saito

Adopt all the children! Clay and Desmond would occasionally swap who is being the responsible one, not to stop the chaos but to temper it so shit doesn’t get too crazy. Their child(ren) will pick up their habits. (Hopefully not the terrible ones)

Depends on what you think is their ‘terrible’ habits. Their children definitely got their habit of using modern day slang, that’s for damn sure. Also, they got their education from the two of them so it would definitely be more on the side of ‘strange’ to the eyes of other people during those time periods.

They also tend to switch who is the responsible one when someone becomes too ‘emotionally invested’. Clay usually switch to being the responsible one when Desmond starts becoming too focused on trying to save everyone when it’s not possible to do such a thing without risking Desmond’s health.

All of their children also got their habit of trashtalking their opponents (mostly Templars).
