Oh! Dear Goddess of this beautiful temple of teecups, your faithful servant begs for help. The rivers have dried up, the foot is not satiating completely and I can only ask for your blessing in... Desmond with Umar... that's it. I just cannot stop thinking about Desmond being with Umar and giving zero f*cks about Al Mualim. Also i just want to give you all of my kudos for your fics. Every new chapter always makes my day <3

Oh, my faithful enduring servant, my temple had to change location due to… god-related circumstances… as such, I have heard your prayers yet I have not been able to grant small blessings as my temple had taken quite a long journey to its new location.

My temple is still preparing the weekly wares to be peddled to the archives and thus, it seems that we will be unable to peddle our wares this week but, fear not, my faithful servants! For the festival this Saturday shall still commence!

Also, my temple is now ready to take in all kinds of travelers and journeymen!

First, I have answered an ask that ended up having UmaDes and UmaFahDes because that’s usually how we roll in this blog

So, since that ask above covers Desmond becoming Umar’s beau after Maud’s death, we’ll make an idea of Desmond being Umar’s beau before Umar met Maud.

The usual setup: Desmond gets transported into the past BUT this time Umar is the one to find him and Desmond freezes because he looks a bit like Altaïr but not really him?

Like, Desmond knows it’s not Altaïr but he also knows he knows who this man is supposed to be.

Anyway, Desmond realized who he is after he introduced himself as Umar, son of no one, and Desmond follows him to see the mentor because Umar saw him freerunning the rooftops of Acre (he was trying to understand why Acre looks a bit too different) and he thinks Desmond would make a great Assassin.

Desmond is surprised because Umar doesn’t take him to Masyaf.

No.

He takes him to Alamut.

Because the mentor he was about to meet was Ḥasan ʿAlā Zikrihi's-Salām, the mentor who ordered Rashid to go to Masyaf and create a branch of the Brotherhood to oversee Levant.

Desmond had traveled to 1160.

2 years before Al Mualim would travel to Masyaf and create the Levantine Brotherhood.

Unorganized Notes:

My headcanon is that Umar is in his mid-twenties when he had Altaïr because Altaïr is the youngest Assassin to be granted the rank of Master at the age of 24~25 but Umar was a Master Assassin when Altaïr was growing up ergo, Umar should at least be in his mid-twenties (and not yet a Master Assassin) when Altaïr was born.

Because of this, Umar had to be one of the Assassins trained in Alamut and went with Al Mualim to Masyaf.

Desmond impresses the current mentor that he becomes an Assassin in less than a year. At that point, Desmond is just thinking of undermining Al Mualim’s authority so he doesn’t become, well, Al Mualim when they get to Masyaf.

Unfortunately, the current mentor is more or less at odds with Al Mualim at this point. The Assassins in Alamut are thrown between being loyal to Al Mualim or to the mentor and Desmond could see why Al Mualim had been ordered to travel to Masyaf. The mentor was trying to stop an already brewing discord between the two factions that would most definitely end with a civil war to take the mentor title by force.

And Desmond gets pulled into this by becoming the mentor’s new favorite, effectively setting him to side with the mentor’s faction.

It doesn’t help that any interactions with Al Mualim (Rashid, his name is Rashi, Desmond, he’s not yet Al Mualim) are very… awkward. Rashid is trying to gain his trust, Desmond distrusts him from the get-go and yeah…

He and Umar do get along quite well. Too well, some might say. Really, close friends bordering on cross-starred lovers kind of scenario at this point.

Of course, an Al-Sayf must always suffer so Faheem as to watch these two idiots pretend to simply be friends and miss the mark by a kilometer and land square on actually in love, no doubt about it, we don’t wanna talk about it.

Desmond is unable to stop Rashid from being ordered to take Masyaf and he ignores the mentor’s orders to stay in Alamut, joining them instead.

Rashid was actually thinking that Desmond is a spy then… he hears the mentor and Desmond arguing that Desmond should remain in Alamut and he just thinks “Oh. He’s coming because of love.”

Cue Rashid trying to be supportive of what he believes to be Desmond’s grand romantic gesture. Desmond has no clue what he’s talking about. Rashid believes Desmond is pretending not to understand because it is the greatest open secret in all of Alamut. Desmond absolutely has no idea what Rashid is talking about.

They get to Masyaf, Desmond intentionally starts to become Rashid’s devil’s advocate that keeps him in check by questioning his every move and, Desmond didn’t plan it, but he became Rashid’s second-in-command… He’s just… “What. The. Fuck.”

During this time, Desmond and Umar do finally start a relationship. Faheem (who is part of the council so Desmond talks to him a lot) just stares at Desmond, thinking if he should tell the man that he’d been in a relationship with Umar for years now then decided that conversation would just give him a headache so no)

By the time, 1191 rolls in, Altaïr Ibn-Umar is born from a very supportive (like, Desmond is pretty sure she’s the one writing all those… can he call them fanfics? Did she just unintentionally create fanfics in 12th century Levant???) Maud as their surrogate because Desmond reaaaalllllllyy wants a child (he doesn’t necessarily? He just needs to make sure Altaïr is born? Who is he kidding? He wants to spoil Altaïr rotten) and she doesn’t die because Desmond managed to make Rashid believe that the health of his people is very, very important.

Oh. Masyaf still separates from Alamut because the mentor there is a bit of a dick but they have a more amicable relationship because people in Alamut still loves Desmond.

Tabula Rasa aired for BTVS season 6, episode 8. Due to magic, the gang loses their memories, forgetting who they are. Hi-jinks include new assumed relationships, frightening bunnies, a literal loan shark, and incorrect names, such as Umad (Dawn), Joan (Buffy), and Randy (Spike).

After the hilarity, Michelle Branch sings "Goodbye to You." This is Michelle Branch's only appearance.

the thing about "umad" as an argument is that it's basically unbeatable. there's very few situations where you don't just automatically win if you're the first person to say "umad". it immediately puts your opponent on the defense and the rest of the argument because either character assassination (they are mad) or a futile effort to rebound (trying to prove they are not mad)

[teecupangel]

From @thedragonqueen1998

Ooo, Umar is so jealous! This has the potential to be so toxic. Umar keeps being the best and proving himself to Desmond, but Desmond only sees Altaïr in him. Would Umar even start to resent his as of yet unborn child or would he start to think that being the target if a god is not all that it is cracked up to be? Desmond just casually talking about wars yet to come and the suffering of others that is needed for his Prophets to be born?

“I’m surprised you’re asking Maud to marry you.”

Umar didn’t bother to turn around and continued to arrange the flowers in his hands to look more presentable.

“Are those… flowers from Paradise? Did you ask permission to pick them?”

Umar shrugged as he used a rope dyed in red to tie them all together.

“Umar…”

Umar sighed and finally turned to face Faheem as he said, “It’s fine. I only picked the flowers from the edge of Paradise.”

“That’s not-” Faheem let out a frustrated sigh as he rubbed his face before continuing, “Does she know you love another?”

“We have an agreement.” Umar said, knowing Faheem Al-Sayf was an honorable man who would not whisper his secrets to anybody, not even Rashid, “She gives me a son and I will do everything I can to make the rest of her life one of comfort and safety.”

“Does she know that your heart belongs to another?” Faheem repeated the question.

Umar stared at him for a moment before he lowered his head, staring at the flowers in his hands, “If things had been different, I would have probably been able to love her with all that I am. Perhaps loving her would be a more peaceful dream, beautiful and sweet.”

“But I cannot lie to myself and say I wish for such a thing.” He raised his head as he answered Faheem, “She knows my heart aches for another that I cannot have. I am not marrying my lover, Faheem. I am marrying a trusted confidant and a close friend.”

“I’m hurt that you believe I would manipulate someone I care for.” Umar said nonchalantly.

“I don’t. I simply worry that you are doing all of these because it is what is expected of you.”

Umar blinked at him, showing his surprise blatantly for once.

“We don’t need to marry a woman to have a child. The Flowers in Paradise would be willing to carry a child for us as Al Mualim had told us before.” Faheem remembered him.

Umar’s lips curved into a small smile as he reminded Faheem, “But then I won’t be able to help out a friend in need, would I?”

Umar started to walk away as he said, “I appreciate the concern Faheem but this marriage is something the both of us will benefit from.”

“Does he know then?” Umar stopped and Faheem pressed on, “Does the childhood friend of yours that you’ve kept close in your heart this entire time know that?”

“He does.” Umar didn’t turn around and simply looked at the ground as he said, “There is nothing I look forward more than the day he would hold my son in his arms for the first time.”

Faheem watched Umar walk away, silently berating the idiot for his complicated love life.

Not knowing that it was more complicated than Faheem’s guess that Faheem was marrying Maud so people wouldn’t know about his relationship with the unnamed childhood friend that Umar is seen with occasionally.

.

.

In a nutshell, Umar calls Desmond his childhood friend from Anbar whenever someone sees them together (it’s actually just Faheem and a few others that Desmond deemed would be alright to know about him and he always leaves before anyone could come near them). Umar is full on in love with Desmond at this point and instead of resenting his unborn son, he’s going along with this because he thinks he can ‘chain’ Desmond to him using his unborn son. His relationship with Maud twists from the original timeline and they become close friends instead of lovers. So in this one, Altaïr would technically have 3 parents (unless you want to go down the lite Oedipus route and have Altaïr fall in love with Desmond as well so we can have an actual father versus son love triangle with Maud just enjoying the drama on the side)

*waves banner in the air*

Deity Desmond! Deity Desmond! Deity Desmond!

We have a bit of sorta deity Desmond lying around here in this Tumblr but the ones I could find were “Desmond as Zagreus’ Sage who became the god of the New World” and people worshiping Desmond because he has angel wings can sorta count XD

There was also that one idea where Desmond accidentally pushed his ancestors to different parts of the past which, in turn, made him sorta like their patron but I cannot find it TTATT

Anyway, for this one… let’s change it up a bit.

.

What is a god?

The power to create new life from nothing.

The power to decimate civilizations in an instant.

But is that all?

No.

A god must also have all the knowledge that can be acquired.

One must be omnipotent and omniscience to be considered a god.

One must be eternal.

The beginning and ending.

A being that can neither age nor die.

A lonely existence, forever haunted by the ephemeral happiness and sorrow of their creations.

That is the definition of god that Desmond Miles believed.

That is the definition of god that gave birth to The Reader from the ashes of Desmond Miles.

He is both Desmond Miles and not.

While it took a while, time is meaningless in the Gray…

Time is a worthy sacrifice to fully control the Calculations itself.

The Gray existed beyond time itself.

With the power he achieved by acquiring all the knowledge available in the past, the present and the distant future, he was able to make it more.

The Reader’s personal Olympus.

No.

His sole Heavenly Throne.

The Calculations could only predict the future. It was always meant to see the possible futures.

The Isus planted plans after plans to ensure their chosen Calculations would not be a possible future but the future.

But he can go beyond that.

The throne exists beyond time itself.

And he has access to the Calculations.

No.

He has memorized all the possible Calculations.

He was not restricted as the Isus. He need not plant anything.

All he needs to do is think.

And it shall come to pass.

A god must be omnipotent and omniscience.

That is the god Desmond Miles envisioned.

But Desmond Miles never considered a god selfless.

It was the exact opposite.

Desmond Miles thought that, if god truly did exist, that being would be selfish.

Why else would a supposed god let tragedy plague his bloodline?

And so…

The Reader must be selfish.

The Reader must prioritize his desires.

And his desires was born out of Desmond Miles’ desires and wishes.

He could change the very fabric of the world.

He could bring eternal peace.

By removing mankind’s free will.

But that is not what Desmond Miles want.

That is not what The Reader want.

What he wants was more selfish.

“Umar Ibn-La'Ahad.”

“Who are you?”

“Five days from now, a man in a hood will see you and invite you to Alamut. He will train you to be an Assassin. Accept his offer.”

“An Assassin? An orphan like me? Forced to steal from merchants and run away from guards? Why are you even telling me this?” His eyes were wrong.

They were not gold.

But his face…

It was close enough to the one he wishes to see that he will allow the boy’s insolent tongue.

“Who even are you? A fortune teller? A spy?”

“Me?”

The boy’s breath hitched and he stepped back as the hooded figure, clad in black robes that seemed to blend into the shadows, lift its face.

There was nothing was light underneath the hood.

“I am a god that exists beyond time itself.”

Seeing the fear in the boy’s face, he says…

“Do not be afraid, Umar Ibn-La'Ahad.”

“I am here to bring happiness to your future son.”
