#kassandra x natakas

EDIT: I have made an addendum - I made a literal and metaphoric cover LOL

I stumbled across a post that had this Penguin Classics cover generator for your fanfics and/or OG story needs!

These are my favorite options for my Odyssey fic 🥹

Tagging with no pressure (as always!): @aeide @blue-mono @findusinaweek @ainulindaelynn @mimbotomy @scottysketches @brasideios

Me with this guy

How can this character be dead, if there are 40k stories on AO3 telling me otherwise?

[littlemarylil]

Am I the only one who kinda ships Kassandra X Darius (Artabanus)? I know the age gap is huge (But Ubisoft kinda taught us in one side mission that age is just a number;)), but I see much more chemistry between them than Kassandra ever had with Natakas. And I could swear that Darius even flirted with her in some scenes.

[pimsri]

What if I say that I adore them greatly

[lockescoles]

The Heir’s task is to bring life where there was death. And your task dooms you to endure loss. Close your eyes and picture the face of one you will never see again. What would you tell them ?

The Olive Carved Eagle

“I’d follow you across the world, Kassandra. I’d live everyday of my life for you. If you think this is too fast, and you’d like to slow it down, just tell me. I’d understand, and follow your lead. But the token and the flowers are my offer to you: your answer doesn’t have to be today, or even tomorrow. As long as you know my offer stands, and I stand with it.”

“I accept you,” she whispered. “Whether you’re standing, or sitting, I accept you.”

Kassandra/Natakas, Kassandra & Alexios, check the fic for full tags.

This is now complete!

Imagine shitting on something people happily ship and enjoy just cuz it doesn’t vibe with your playthrough?

Kassandra side eyes you Malakas.

Why I think only Brasidas and Phoebe were the options for resurrection in the new AC Odyssey DLC.

Natakas was Persian, right? He wouldn’t have went to the Greek underworld after death, right?

My view on Natakas after playing

tl;dr the fandom hates him cuz of the forced romance. He (and by extension Neema) is a well written love interest with similar experiences to the Misthios.

Natakas is damn near everything I’ve been looking from in a male character since I became and author. I got tired of seeing male characters be ‘cool’ when they disregard lives or act as if being nice is and caring for others is a sign of weakness that must be hidden. Using a tragic backstory to make someone cold and cut off is lame imo and there’s too much of it when justifying villains.

From the second you meet him, Natakas is looking out for other people and aiding you in aiding them. He’s shown to be a skilled hunter and a stealthy individual like his father based on how he gathers information on the Order of the Ancients without being found and killed.

He’s not without his trauma, but who in Assassin’s Creed is? Like The Misthios, his family has been targeted by a secret organization causing him to be on the run. He Does not let his trauma break or control his life. He still shows compassion and a sense of right in the face of some incredibly heinous and down right evil people. He never dips into darkness to fight the darkness.

As for the romance, it’s obviously scripted, but it’s very player initiated and a lot is said nonverbally between Kass and Natakas. Their moments are nice and sweet and focus on just being a person instead of fighting some shadowy organization.

As a bi person, it was great to see someone like me (Kass and Natakas since we’re allowed to do that) get to actually have a life and family in the face of all the tragedy they’ve seen. I cried for a third time (both times finding Myrinne) because Kassandra looked and sounded so happy and after her life she deserves as much happiness as she can get. Even with the backlash, I hope those that are happy with the family get to enjoy it in the end although THEY SHOULD’VE JUST NAMED THE BABY LEONIDAS or Alexios or whatever. I kinda wish there wasn’t an option for your family to die cuz Myrinne would be a great grandmother and Alexios a great uncle!

The Simple Life - Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Season 3, Ep. 11

I feel an Odyssey revival in my horizon...

I did the first half of this about a year ago. They are mostly traced because I am definitely not that good yet but I did change their expressions to be much more tender. 🥹

The background is a bit, well, not that great. But I did it in like Dec 2024 when I had a 2 month old baby and a 3 year old at the same time SO SUE ME.

The colors are also way too vibrant on tumblr's photo thing but oh well.

Anyway. Here's to more Kasskas shenanigans that no one will probably see LOL

[the-gothic-assassin]

I've seen lots of Neema x Kassandra edits going around. Where are Natakas x Alexios edits?

"Stay safe, my love..." || "Kiss me before I go..."

Photo creds: Me (not like anyone is going to steal a Kasskas photo but lol)

AC Odyssey Rarepair/Rare Character Day: July 29th, 2023

Over on my server, a bunch of us were talking about a day like this and decided we very well should do it! This day will be to celebrate the lesser loved characters or the lesser known characters. Whether it's a ship pairing or simply an NPC you love dearly (will also accept animals or trees that don't get enough attention), this day is for you! 🥹 For example, Natakas/Kassandra would be a good ship for this as they are not a super popular pairing.

Or Iola the smuggler, would be another good example for this event as well.

You get the idea! Based off of @aeide and @findusinaweek's brilliant Brasidas Day earlier this month, it will be very similar. This will be a fantastic way to show off your niche art pieces, video edits, fanfictions, poems, photo mode photos, etc. You name it, we'll take it!

Remember to use the tag "ACOrare2023" in your post so we can see it!!!

This is supposed to be a fun day and a wonderful outlet for those who enjoy these ships/characters, so please be kind!!

Shoutout to these lovelies in the server who helped create this idea/were interested! @findusinaweek @aeide @cringy-username-dream-wanderlust @blue-mono 💜

UPDATE: I’ve added a version of my fic that has all chapters combined - it can be found here: 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/50984854/chapters/128810695

My fanfic is on AO3!

I’ve been working on this damn thing since 2020! My writing has gotten way better as the years have passed so chapter 1 is a little rough but that’s okay! Tis’ a labor of love!

BUT: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Chapter 7, and Chapter 8, and Chapter 9, and Chapter 10, and Chapter 11, and Chapter 12 are LIVE!

I’ve also also added chapters into a series (suggestion by some lovely friends of mine) so it is easier to find them/read them! Can be found here.

This fic is Kassandra/Natakas which I know is not most people’s cup of tea. I’m just advertising my work, okay? 😭 lol

(picture bc why not hehehehehee)
