#maria’s answers

[darkestgrays]

Hello! I’m your gifter for the Klaroline winter exchange, I’m very thrilled to be able to make you something!

Do you perhaps have a preference between Story, GIF or mood board? I just want to get the ideas flowing and my brain pumping so that your gift is truly magical.

Also, would you like it to be Christmas themed? It wasn’t mentioned in your request, it’s totally fine if that isn’t your thing but I’d just like to know before I jump into anything :)

Hello!! I honestly don't really have a preference, I would like a story or gif a little bit more than a moldboard but i like them all and i think you should do whatever's calling you (or is easiest lol)

It doesn't have to be Christmas themed but if you have an idea that's Christmas related totally go for it!! I love Christmas so I'd love to see it.

Hope my answers cleared up anything you needed to know, I'm excited for whatever you're cooking :)

What if desmond was reborn as the 5th auditore child? Like he was just a baby/toddler when the auditore were executed

Hey, nonny.

We can make Desmond be born on March 13, 1476 so he would only be months old when the Auditores are executed.

Wanna fuck with Desmond and the Auditores some more?

What if we keep Maria’s mental state after the execution and make her believe that the baby in her arms is Petruccio.

The only person who could remind her that she was holding and caring for her fifth child was Claudia and it was becoming harder and harder for her to keep trying to stay strong when her mother treating Desmond as Petruccio makes her think that she’s in the past and asking when her husband would be back or if Federico and Ezio be back from playing outside.

The final nail in the coffin is that Maria mistook Claudia as someone else, maybe an older sister that was already dead or even her old nanny who died when Petruccio was just born.

Ezio saw what was happening and pushed Claudia to managing Monteriggioni to keep her from spiraling.

It becomes apparent that Maria sees Giovanni in Ezio and Mario tells him that it might be better if they slowly separate Maria from Desmond.

It’s not doing either of them any good and making Desmond replace Petruccio was a fate that no child should ever shoulder.

So Ezio pretends to be Giovanni taking Petruccio for walks and tries to be there for his younger brother.

But being an Assassin made it hard for him to return home frequently.

He tries his best and he knows Claudia also tries to make their younger brother understand that they don’t see him as a replacement and that their mother is simply… confused at the moment.

That’s how Desmond grew up, pretending to be Petruccio when he’s with Maria Auditore.

Mario trained him while Ezio was running around but he couldn’t leave Monteriggioni because Maria starts to ask where Petruccio is whenever she doesn’t see Desmond for a few hours.

Ezio went to Firenze after journeying to Spain (and got entangled with Bonfire of the Vanities) when Maria finally realized that Desmond isn’t Petruccio. To be more exact, Desmond had turned 21 and Maria cried as she remembered that Petruccio would have never grown as old as Desmond.

At that point, Maria’s relationship with her youngest child was strained by her own guilt and grief while Desmond just accepted it because he loved Maria and a part of him believed that he should have done something more (even if he was still a baby, guilt does not care about one’s age)

Desmond starts doing Assassin work as well but goes rogue for a few months, returning with the remaining seals for Altaïr’s statue.

Desmond takes the armor for himself and just shrugged it off as Ezio’s birthday present or something equally unimportant and Ezio returned to Monteriggioni with… well…

A very awkward family reunion, that’s for sure.

So many things have happened at that point and, as much as he is happy to see his mother healing, he feels guilty for not being there for Desmond who just shrugs it off and tells him “I understand.”

“I understand.”

That was the worst phrase Ezio heard.

He kept hearing it from his younger brother.

At first he was relieved that his brother understood.

Then he realized that the phrase meant more than that to Desmond.

It was a resignation to his current situation.

And Ezio wasn’t really in the best place himself.

He was still grieving the death of Cristina who died while Ezio was in Firenze for Savonarola and his men so there was also a bit of guilt there.

So Mario suggested Ezio takes Desmond to the Vatican with him as a ‘trainee’ and Ezio agreed.

He tells Desmond that he never wanted him to be an Assassin, that he hoped he was the only one who had to carry the blood that drenched the Auditores’ blade.

Desmond just stares at him and goes…

“I understand.”

And Ezio knew that he failed being a brother to his youngest in this bloody path of vengeance he had taken.

So was there an entire scene of Maria playing the guitar with Shadow at his side before Gerald arrives and says "we have to go, now!" or nah? I've only seen the part where they run from the soldiers and Maria gets killed.

There was 3 moments of that scene that were split up across the movie,

The first one was in the very beginning when Shadow was starting to wake up and we see Maria strumming the guitar, the second was when Gerald came to get them when the soldiers arrived, and the last one was when Shadow was moving the eclipse cannon out into space and he started to remember the past again to which we get this adorable shot:

So let’s just say this entire scene takes place the night G.U.N raided the base and this was the last moment of joy he had with her, because it’s more heartbreaking that way if we do 💔

Among other things, my favorite new footage from that music video is Sonic's surprise at Tails being able to fly past him

Tails's little waving at him before zooming on ahead is so freaking cute ALL THE BROTHER FOOTAGE I'M SEEING IS LIFE TO MY SOUL AKSMCMCMMSNSFN

[writingtraumaforever]

I need someone to cry with me about that one scene where Shadow says so softly; 'I don't know what I do without you' to Maria. These siblings got me f'd up in mah feels

OKAY OKAY—

I’M SOBBING????

I saw this in SO MANY WAYS!!

The obvious one being like— he just doesn’t wanna lose her. She’s his rock and his light and he’d be miserable without her, right?? She’s the only good thing he had in his life!!

BUT ON THE OTHER MORE DEEPER HAND—

He was genuinely TERRIFIED of what he’d do without her! He genuinely believed she was why he was GOOD! That without her, he was just the monster all the researchers and staff saw him as! A weapon and nothing more. But she saw him as something GOOD, and so he WAS. But he was terrified of what he’d become when she was no longer there. That he’d become everything they all told him he was. He wanted to be good like her. Save the earth and protect its people. But he was so dang convinced that she was his tether to that. That she was the only thing stopping him from being something so monstrous! And the SECOND she was taken from him, all of that anxiety and fear of being bad manifested itself into just doing it! Because that’s what he was convinced he was. By Gerald, by GUN, and then when he hurt Tom??? Yup.

It wasn’t until Sonic came along and reminded him that he has a CHOICE. That he doesn’t HAVE to be bad if he doesn’t choose to be..

And AHHHHHH I JUST LOVE HIM AND HES SO GOOD SUCH A GOOD, GOOD BOY THE GOODEST OF BOYS AND HE BETTER KNOW THAT NOW SHDKFLGLG

Trios reaction to saying I wanna get them pregnant (I'm a girl)

Black: "(quiet for an uncomfortable amount of time as he thinks, furrowed eyebrows) ....How would that work? Like, logistically?"

Crux: "What happened to 'hi, how are you?' I'm not just a sexy, fertile, young thing, you know. I have feelings too."

Vincenzo: "Not out of wedlock, darling. You're not getting anywhere near my womb before the wedding."

Don't if this has already been explored before but: Desmond being reborn as Ezio's bastard (the one Clay is supposed to descend from) and everyone's reactions to it. Especially Claudia's and Maria's.

Desmond obviously regains all of his memories. He thinks it's super weird to have his ancestor as his actual father. But quickly realizes he prefers Ezio as a parent to Bill.

Bonus points: things get really confusing after Ezio goes to the Vault

I'm pretty sure there's already a fic like this somewhere in AO3 but the only one I can remember is the one where Altaïr is reborn in Italy and has Desmond as his little brother

So, for this one, we’ll focus on everyone’s reaction to it XD

First of all, we’ll have to think about where to set this. We do not have any confirmation (as far as I know) on when Clay’s ancestor was born but, considering that his memories seemed to focus on AC2, we will set this around the latter part of AC2. My suggestion would be around the time the Brotherhood lost the Apple after giving it to Sforza.

This will give us Ezio finding Desmond during the time he’s looking for the Apple.

Now, for everyone’s reaction:

Maria is still unresponsive around this time but he would move and cradle Desmond when he cries at night because he woke up from a nightmare that may or may not be his. They’re not sure if Maria is truly seeing Desmond or if she’s seeing a ‘memory’ of a child she lost (probably Petruccio).

Claudia doesn’t really pay him much attention, too focus on making sure the numbers are all correct.

When she has free time, she would visit him to ‘take care’ of him while his nanny takes a break. More often that not, she tells him all her complaints in a cutesy baby voice. Desmond is more amused than embarrassed.

Mario absolutely adore him and dotes on him more than enough that Claudia has to cut him off. He doesn’t show it but this is Mario’s way of ‘making up’ for his absence in his brother’s children’s life (whether he did it to keep them safe or because he had a falling out with Giovanni is up to you)

Leonardo is fascinated by him because he is the most mild mannered baby he had ever seen and is willing to stay as still as he could while Leonardo paints him. Desmond is definitely the model of a baby Jesus commission that Leonardo did XD

La Volpe visited him once and only once because it was too dangerous to leave his guild alone and there was really nothing to keep him in Monteriggioni. He slipped inside Desmond’s room at night and left soon after. Desmond thinks that was creepy but just waves it off.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke

"It's 4am. You need sleep." (Young?)

Lack of Sleep Starters! - @dontcxckitup

"I, am a strong, confident woman. I do not need sleep!" Maria replied stumbling slightly. She was very, very drunk, the evening had started off nicely in the pub with some of his army friends and others and then it had gotten raucous. The good time had led to Maria singing on impromptu karaoke, plus having a whale of a time dancing and not just with Gareth, though he'd kept very close.

Now they were supposed to be walking back to where she was staying near the base to get some sleep. Maria however kept getting distracted.

"I need- what I need is!" She chimed before looking at Gareth again, seeming mesmerized by him. "You are suspiciously good looking aren't you."
