Connor/Reader wip but it’s just an excuse to write Haytham being a nagging Dad™

[imnotadogiswear]

I wonder what Church thought when he saw Connor walk in as Haytham was beating him for betraying the Templars. Like, Master Kenway, what are YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?

No bc the 18th century assassins were actual shit and I'm not just talking about the Colonial branch, like-

The British brotherhood let a Templar GRANDMASTER run off with the son of one of their master assassins after his death and never did anything to save him. Years later that boy grows up to be a Templar, climbs up the ranks of the Order at lightning speed, and kills one of their assassin masters after stealing his hidden blade. And how do they respond to that ? They send one of their novices after him on a ship to Boston to kill him. Alone. And that novice, instead of going the assassin way and stab Haytham in the back or something, tries to defend him from getting killed by some other guys on deck before engaging him in a fucking sword fight during which he gives Haytham, A MASTER SWORDSMAN, HIS OWN GODDAMN SWORD, LIKE WHAT IN THE-

Then you have the disaster that was the Colonial Brotherhood. Achilles, the last student of Ah Tabai, goes on to do the one thing Ah Tabai spent the entirety of Black Flag warning Edward against (tampering with Isu sites) and becomes mentor to absolute psychopaths. They were working with gangs who were harassing civilians for protection money and developing chemical weapons that they planned on unleashing on entire cities, not to mention that they caused two earthquakes that killed hundreds of thousands and were going to do it a third time (and probably would never have stopped) had Shay and Haytham not intervened. Also, instead of talking shit out with an obviously traumatised Shay, they demonised him, shot him off a cliff, and left him for dead without even checking if he'd died or not - they were so bad that they made Shay, the most un-Templaresque person ever, defect to the Templars, which inevitably led to their downfall and you can't even blame the Templars for massacring all of them bc they were an absolute menace to society. Plus they were allied with the Fr*nch and it should be common knowledge that this is the worst crime one could ever commit

AND SPEAKING OF THE FRENCH ! Those bitches were also completely brain dead !! Like, they knew what happened to Haytham and how the man turned out, but they still let the Templar Grandmaster adopt Arno, the son of one of their master assassins, just like the British had done with Edward. Like, they should have known it could end in an absolute disaster. And they banished Arno, probably their most promising recruit since Charles Dorian's death, for doing his fucking job as an assassin just because he broke some rules, which is so dumb coming from people whose motto contains the lines "everything is permitted", I just- ☠️

Ratohnhaké:ton was legit the only 18th century assassin with a functioning brain cell istg

Non-AC Fans: I'm going to celebrate Thanksgiving by eating food and spending time with family.

Me: I'm going to say fuck colonialism, play AC III, and daydream about getting fucked by Ratonhnhaké:ton.

@just-a-geekygoth’s request (Connor for G4) of abisalli’s emotion challenge! I’ll be honest, I don’t love how this one turned out. I think Connor’s head and hand are too big, but it’s whatever, something to keep in mind next time.

i need need NEED a blurb of Shay and Haytham reacting to Cormac!reader and Connor being young kids in love. I can just imagine Haytham watching Shay have the worst time of his life watching them 😭😭

( all credits to @ginaunderthesea for this lovely gifset! )

✠ | debonair ; f!cormac!reader

a/n. Ask & you shall receive! Have a quick blurb of Shay being an exasperated father 🤲🏼 (& Haytham being a proud lil’ shit LOL)

“You have to admit,” Haytham shrugs, “That was rather charming, what my boy said. Unexpected as it is.”

Shay turns his head so slowly it’s borderline ominous.

“Suddenly the wean’s ‘your boy’, then, aye?” he scowls, face like a growing storm. “Now is a terrible time to be impressed by him, Haytham.”

“If I were to claim my son completely incapable of charm, I’d be lying. And I don’t make a habit of lying to myself,” the Grandmaster says, sounding uncharacteristically proud, of all things. “I’m rather delighted to know Connor isn’t so hopeless. Atleast we know now he’s inherited some of my debonair traits—”

“Oh, I ought’a end the Kenway bloodline where y’stand,” Shay bites, shouldering past him with a scoff. “Keep your boy away, Haytham, or I’ll make true my word.” 

The threat is a poor attempt, serves more like fuel to the fire. “Ah, yes, I could try. But even then, your darling dearest daughter wouldn’t approve, no?”

Shay stops in his tracks. Shuts his eyes and faces skyward, in an impatient, hushed mutter.

“Lord above, give me strength,” he exhales, rubbing a palm over his face after a string of incoherent Gaelic. “I refuse to be victim by this. Don’t encourage the boy.”

“Come now, don’t be—” dramatic, Haytham very nearly says, before catching himself short at the whipcrack of a malevolent look Shay had shot him. “—unreasonable,” he tries instead. “It was a harmless compliment from Connor.”

“Harmless!” Shay waves an exasperated hand. “She was blushing,” he glowers. “Over a bloody sentence!”

“She’s a girl.”

Then, amending himself, “A woman, actually.” Haytham points out, barely able to contain the amusement in his tone. “Capable of making her own decisions, like falling for an eligible, handsome, young man—”

“I am going to shoot you, Haytham Kenway.”

[imnotadogiswear]

I need more fics with Haytham being protective of Connor. It breaks my heart every time in the best way.

[itsvergilsparda]

[anli-rambles]

Haytham : Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to come along and hold your hand, perhaps ? Provide kind words of encouragement ?

Haytham in the very next memory : [gentle tap on Connor's shoulders] You did well
