Hi Teecup, hope everything's going good! Here's yet another Desmond becomes an animal AU, but with a twist! :D

So Desmond gets reborn as a horse. I also imagine it somewhat modern setting, with Ezio being 17 and Altaïr being 16.

Desmond feels the unmistakable sensation at being born and to his suprise he is not a human, but a foal. Born at Auditore Farm. Where Ezio is the new manager after his father retired and Federico was in a bad accident that leaves him unable to ride the horses anymore. And first thing that happens after he takes the position is that the prized mare of Masyaf Ranch breaks into a stallions pen and gets pregnant. After the two ranches struck a deal about the mare that might finally save the struggling Auditore farm from being sold. The mare that was Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad personal, very dear, horse. So, Ezio is not having a good time and Desmond feels bad and blames himself for it. Because he couldn't even die properly, so why should his re-birth be anything other than a huge fiasco and mistake.

Until Ezio takes a look at the foal the next morning and sees the newborn foal just sitting in the corner, not caring about his mothers attempts to get him stand up. It wasn't the foals fault it was born and their farm had always prided themselves in the care and love their horses recieved. So when the foal refuses to nurse, Ezio takes it upon himself to hand raise it.

When Rashid and Altaïr comes for the mare, Rashid looks in disgust at Desmond, but Altaïr looks.... sad. While everyone moves the mare over to the transport, Ezio goes to feed Desmond and finds Altaïr in the stall. Desmond is playing with Altaïr and the teen is smiling, which Ezio thought him incapable off. When Altaïr realises he's been caught he tries to play it off as curiousity at his prized mares offspring, but Ezio of course doesn't buy it. Especially when the offer to try to bottle feed Desmond is recieved with a very enthuastic nod. Sadly Altaïr has to leave and Ezio is left with having to juggle the responsibility of the stable, of raising Desmond who refuses a foster mother and his duty as the middle brother. Life is stressfull, but Desmond certainly brightens any day.

.

Just a very self indulgent AU with the excuse of having Ezio and Federico in tight jeans and cowboy hats. XD And ofc Desmond causing chaos everywhere he goes, though rarely causing harm. Maybe Leonardo could be a vet that works at both stables for EziLeo or you could even do a rare pair of EziAlt(idk what the ship name is XD) once Altaïr realises that Al Mualim never had the horses in mind, only profit.

Ratonhnhaké:ton can remain largely unchanged if you want him included. Haytham works at Masyaf Ranch and both Auditore and Masyaf border a native american reserve where he met Ziio. Ratonhnhaké:ton prefers to play and eventually help out on Auditore Farm, much to his fathers chagrin. But Haytham does try to be there for him, despite their differences(i've recently gone into a fix it Father-Son fic dive, so i want a Haytham that will at least try for his son).

Full disclmainer: i have only watched/read a few movies and books about ranches and stables, not to mention having no idea how native americans do things, so i apologize if anything is grossly wrong. I don't mean it, i just want a feel good story about a man and his horse overcoming odds and everythin ends well at the end. ^^

Full disclaimer: The only thing I know about ranches and stables are from … well, majority from fanfics where one dude goes to a ranch to work and falls in love with the ranch owner and… the movie Nope and that horse-heavy episode of Leverage. XD

So my immediate idea is that Altaïr ran away from Masyaf Ranch and asks Ezio to employ him for board and food. That’s our setup for AltEzi if you want XD

Or it can turn into Ezio being the older brother and caring parental figure that Altaïr desperately needed.

I don’t know why but I kinda imagine Federico having to use a cane in this one as part of his accident. He still helps out in the ranch but he’s relegated to light work and mostly budgeting and stuff. Altaïr’s employment is a definite godsend.

Federico is also the one who cooks and he cooks a lot when he’s stressed. Even makes his own jam from the garden they have (which Ezio tends to most of the time).

It would be funny if this was set in Desmond’s POV the entire time so the whole EziAlt part is right there but Desmond just assumes they’re becoming such close ‘friends’.

Ratonhnhaké:ton and Haytham works as stable hands and Ratonhnhaké:ton is around Altaïr’s age so they become close.

If you still want this to be EziLeo then the beta couple could be AltCon instead? That’s an even rarer pairing hahahaha

Leonardo is a family friend and the vet to their town (which has a lot of ranches) and he’s close to the family that he sometimes joins meal time whenever he’s there on a job and he has the time. If this was EziLeo, this would be a slowburn friends-to-lovers kind of deal with Federico working overtime to get Ezio to realize that Leonardo has a crush on him. Altaïr gets roped in later on much to his dissatisfaction.

Claudia and Petruccio are both living their own lives with Petruccio away for college. If this was summer time, he comes home to help out and he can be Altaïr’s friend.

Throughout this entire thing, Desmond is just trying to live his horse life while trying to get use to his horse body with his greatest problem being his instincts to move like a human.

He finds love in eating the strawberry field Haytham is in charge of.

His archnemesis is a bird that always tweet so loudly in the morning, waking him up and having the galls to land on his back because it knows Desmond sees him as the bane of his horse existence.

In other words, this is a feel good story about two men finding their own happiness while taking care of the strangest horse… while overcoming odds and everything ends well in the end.

Declaring Rights

Ezio should have listened to himself when the first warning struck him, his mind telling him not to glance back over towards the man in the corner. Whose amber eyes were half-lidded, cupping his drink in his hands, watching the crowd. As if waiting for someone. Yes, he should have kept his attention on his brother whom was trying to see where he was looking. Lady luck was smiling down on him tonight because his poor sibling had no idea where he was looking - who he was watching - so intently. If he had, well...the younger man wouldn't live it down.

Because he was staring at a man. Who was just lounging there, twisting the glass in his hands every once in a while. Those gorgeous eyes still looking elsewhere and not locking onto his own so he could appreciate and see them fully. The young man tightened his hold on his Miller bottle. Yes, oh yes, how he'd love to peer into those warm depths - press the other man's back against a wall, pin his hands down as he nipped along that expanse of skin exposed when the other turned his head.

It seemed as if his - yes,

his

- golden eyed beauty felt his gaze, the man slowly glancing over to Ezio.

A flash of light from the DJ booth illuminated the man's form. Brown locks a shade lighter than his own, a strong jawline - oh, how he wanted to bite and nibble and nip it - how a scar ran down those lips -

dio

...the man parted them ever so slowly...

He also couldn't help but notice how the man was dressed so casually. A simple black jacket, white shirt and how his denim jeans hugged him just

fucking right

. Not too tight - Ezio wanted to tug them off, just to see if this man was wearing anything underneath - yet not too loose. He felt his hand tighten its hold more, bringing the bottle to his lips to take a swig.

The other had crossed his legs, taking a hand back from the drink as he leaned back.

The second warning was how he shouldn't have offered to buy a drink for the taunting male across the room.

Yet he'd set the beer down, turning to look for a waitress. Soon, he'd called her over - yes, he could appreciate her curves and how her breasts seemed to 'pop' out - he then motioned over to the corner where his beauty was sitting. "Be a doll and get him whatever he desires, bella. Tell him this one's on me."

He'd heard Federico - he momentarily wondered why he was here - ask him what he was doing. Other things amoung this and that but Ezio's gaze had returned to his bottle that he'd been resting on his knee. Once the woman left, he slowly lifted his sights. Just in time to see the waitress speak to the man with yellow spheres, motioning over to him a moment later.

Ezio licked his lips when he caught sight of the man motion down to his drink, parting his lips to respond -

fuck

, he wanted the other man to go down on him, those lips...those c-

A hand seized hold of his shoulder, shaking him.

He turned his attention to Federico, raising a brow as his hand slid up to grip the neck of the bottle.

"What're you

doing

? Offering to buy a drink - and for a

guy

no less." It was whispered and harsh, as if coming to the conclusion that his little brother was drunk.

And how he wished he had been. All the images of what those lips could do to certain parts of his anatomy and he wanted to mark up the other's skin. Bite, suck, hold onto the man hard enough to leave imprints -

"Hmm......" He lolled his head back to its previous position to look back at the man, watching to then see how gold locked onto his own. The younger sibling couldn't stop the carefree smile coming to his lips, revealing his teeth. "Non posso farne a meno. Lo voglio."

Indeed...he wanted to grab a fistful of those chocolate locks, push the man's form into the sheets - the only sounds being moans, groans, grunts and skin hitting skin - and have it get to the point - hard, fast, rough - where his bright eyed beauty would grab the covers, tear and tug at them as his cheeks would flush -

There was a whack against the back of his head, causing him to blink and veer over to his brother with a scowl.

"Vai a farti fottere." was hissed, grabbing onto Ezio's shoulder to shake him a bit. "Don't waste both his and your time just 'eye fucking.'

Go

."

Ezio immediately shook his head, feeling himself blindly set the beer down. "Then who would look out for you, dear brother?" he teased, obviously getting another, 'Vai a farti fottere.'

He turned his gaze back over to the tanned man he'd been watching, blinking and suddenly alarmed to see that the other had slipped past him.

Cazzo...

Well, this was a let down. His shoulders slumped slightly and turned to face the bar, raising his hand to motion the tender over. He rose his head, ordering another drink. A harder one - hopefully as hard as he'd wanted to take the man who had slipped right from under his nose.

...what a letdown.

Ezio blinked when he noticed a small slip of paper handed to him.

He slowly tipped his head back, instantly recognizing the other male standing before him. Whom had a brow raised in an interested manner, the side of his scarred lips tugged back - he wanted to devour this man whole - and lowered his gaze down onto the paper. Ezio looked lost for a moment before his mind caught up with the other silently telling him to take the paper.

And so he did, shifting to slip it into his backpocket, eyes still on the other man's face.

"Altair."

"Scusa...?"

The man before him - Altair - rose his gaze to look at him, the amused expression still there. "My name...is Altair."

With that the exotic male had left, leaving Ezio to stare at him - eyes having eyed that ass then run over the rest of the other's form - before licking his lips once again.

He should have listened to Federico when they left, should have ignored the tug and pull and

lust

, yet he didn't. Couldn't. Wouldn't.

Ezio had picked up his cell phone and dialed the number, nearly letting out a happy groan when it was answered by the man who'd given him the number. Relieved that it indeed did belong to

his

Altair.

Whether the man knew it or not...he was going to be his.

---

Summary: A man in the corner caught his attention, a man with such gorgeous eyes. And whether he knew it or not, Ezio already decided that he was his.

dio: God bella: beautiful (feminine) Non posso farne a meno. Lo voglio.: I can't help it. I want him. Vai a farti fottere.: Go fuck yourself. Cazzo: fuck Scusa: sorry (I use Google Translate for this stuff so...yeah...)

I'm sorry if it sucked or seemed too out there...I was kinda zoning a bit.

[teecupangel]

have you ever thought of writing an Altaïr /Desmond /Ezio ? I would love to read something like this written by you.

Hi nonny,

At the moment, I have no plans to write an Altaïr/Desmond/Ezio. I can't be sure if I can even squeeze in a smutty oneshot next year but I'll let you know if I can? XD

I mean... I guess if I do make a harem ending for Badump Animus Destiny, that could count??? Not that I'm specifically planning on writing a harem ending XD

Uuuhh, here's two ideas that have that pairing though: Immortals AU where Arno gets sexiled a lot thanks to them and Poly ideas (one modern and 1 'canon' timeline) for Altaïr/Desmond/Ezio.

[teecupangel]

There are sooo many good animal Desmond ideas out there... But no one thinks about horse Desmond.

He would be the mightiest of steeds. Maybe he would be a war breed like a Friesian or a hunting breed like an Akhal-Teke?

Horse Desmond would be a wild horse at first I think. No one would be able to keep him contained. But maybe he could be tempted to stick around if say... A certain ancestor popped up. Or perhaps they needed a lift? Most probably away from angry templars- or even more likely if you go for ezio- single fathers trying desperately to keep handsome Italian men away from his precious daughters?

You would have no problem escaping when your horse isn't afraid to free-run. >:}

And darn it if he wouldn't be the most loyal mount! Kicking and stomping would-be horse thieves and templars like it's a hobby!

Oooh what if he was a water horse/kelpie?

Horse!Desmond is like… a creature that happens every so often and graces this Tumblr every few months XD

Here’s the first horse!Desmond ask I got.

The Desmond is a horse in Auditore ranch ask that can go either EziAlt or EziLeo.

And the Desmond is a horse in Valhalla ask.

I’m actually unsure if there’s more but these are the ones I was able to find. XD

So let’s go for water kelpie in this one!

I’m kinda imagining Desmond like the water kelpie in Shin Megami Tensei:

But he’s gonna be a pure white kelpie with golden eyes.

Water kelpies have the ability to shapeshift into humans but they’re easily caught because they have seaweeds for hair and they supposedly haunt the almost all water masses in Scotland and the kelpie is said to be a being that appears in both Scottish and Irish lore so there’s a high possibility that Shay and Liam would know about them.

And that’s why Shay is absolutely suspicious of the hooded man that appeared in the homestead one random day.

He spoke to Achilles for a long while and he just… starts living in a small shack near the docks.

Shay wouldn’t have been so suspicious of him had he not smelled like… water… all the time.

He has no other way to explain it.

There was something about his scent that reminded Shay of the stories his father used to tell him the mythical beasts and monsters that haunt Ireland.

They had also traveled to Scotland quite a few times during Shay’s time with his father and their ships, having a close relationship with a merchant that goes there. They get more money if they accompany the merchant to Scotland so Shay knows a bit.

The unknown Assassin that only goes by the name Desmond reminds Shay of one of those stories.

No.

The stories of those who stay in the waters to drown humans.

And then…

Lisbon happened.

He tried to do the right thing.

And he fell in the cold waters.

That’s when he saw it.

A white kelpie with golden eyes.

The same eyes as Desmond.

He wakes up in Desmond’s shabby shack.

And finally sees Desmond without a hood.

… his hair was made of seaweeds.

Shay was in the presence of a kelpie.

But why…

Why did the kelpie save him?

[teecupangel]

EziAlt where they both turned into biblically accurate angels after they died and just stays together keeping the brotherhood intact and killing templars

This is most probably related to these ideas of Altaïr becoming a biblically accurate angel and the idea of Desmond’s main ancestors becoming biblically accurate angels.

Ngl, when I first read it, I thought we were fusing Altaïr and Ezio into one biblically accurate angels like something that has one body but two heads (maybe two eagle heads with wings for a body). Then I realized you wrote ‘angels’ and now my brain is going “does EziAlt mean they also know each other in a biblical sense or is this meant to be gen?” so I’m like… okay, either way, let’s see how this would work.

Since they stay together after death, let’s set this during Ezio finally accessing the library underneath Masyaf.

The chair is empty but there is a memory seal lying on the floor next to it.

The same thing happens as canon but Ezio is weirded out because the last memory is Altaïr taking his last breath on the empty chair.

So… where’s the body?

Was it possible someone was here before him?

No.

As far as he knew, this would be the first time the library was opened since Altaïr stayed behind in Masyaf.

Another mystery that Ezio would never solve, it seemed, and Ezio left after delivering his final message to Desmond, planning to live a life as simply a man.

Not knowing that something had followed him out of the library.

.

That clear day, as Ezio watch Flavia and Sofia check the stalls, he felt someone sit next to him.

There was no one there.

“Today will be the day you die.”

Ezio heard the voice yet he could not see where it was coming from.

“I cannot stop it any longer.”

Ezio could feel it. Death’s embrace slowly wrapping around him.

“I’m sorry, akhi, I wished I could have given you more time with your family.”

His lips curved into a content smile as he stared at the woman he loved and his most precious daughter.

“It’s alright. It was a good life.”

And Ezio closed his eyes for the final time.

.

Only to open his eyes once more.

All eight of them.

.

Unorganized Notes:

I like to imagine Altaïr’s form to be three pairs of wings that have eyes all over with the center being either just a ball of bright light or ever-circling scrolls creating a ball in the middle.

Ezio, on the other hand, I imagine being more of the usual description of cherubim, an eagle head on the top with the head of a man below it with a lion head on the right, and an ox head on the left with a human-like body with wings.

They cannot be seen by normal human eyes BUT they can be seen in the Eagle Vision which, yeah, would scare the crap out of anyone.

They can, however, affect the mortal plane if they focus hard enough, even appearing to everyone for a minute or two. They usually use this to frighten the Templars.

Sometimes, they manage to scare them to death even.

Other times, they are able to whisper to those who have mastered the Eagle Vision well enough, to warn them or to guide them.

Most of the time, they use their invisible body and the ability to make contact with the mortal plane by focusing really hard by taking out Templars.

Ezio’s lion head likes to bite heads’ off. It always disgusts the other three heads.

Altaïr usually uses his wings to smack Templars off buildings and other high places.

Edward thought they were part of his drunken haze.

Haytham does not like seeing them at all and they have tried to kill Haytham before. They can’t though, for some reason.

Ratonhnhaké:ton always thanks them when something ‘lucky’ happens (even if it wasn’t them). He doesn’t necessarily think they’re truly angels but spirits sent to protect the world.

Shay sees them. He always goes the other way. His senses are so intune with the Eagle Sense that he could hear them as a multitude of whispers unlike the soft whispers he would hear whenever there was an Assassin waiting to ambush him.

Arno only saw them once he became an Assassin and they scared him so much it took a while before Arno started using the Eagle Vision again.

Jacob and Evie have heard the legends, of course. They didn’t believe it, of course. They were proven wrong… of course.

They appeared on the Farm the day Desmond was born and they stayed. Desmond grew up seeing them even though he couldn’t use the Eagle Vision. Everyone just assumes they’re his imaginary friends but Desmond knows they’re not. Because of their guidance, Desmond doesn’t leave the Farm and becomes an Assassin, although his relationship with his father was… ‘strained’ to say the least. In Desmond’s eyes, the two ‘monsters’ (as everyone like to call them whenever Desmond describes them) acted more like his fathers than Bill ever did.

Thanks Odin someone asking for my otp!  I love them.

I relied on a similar work doing this one.
