#we all know it's gonna be altdes

[teecupangel]

Okay, I've more than 'hinted' that I have plans for a 'Desmond gets reborn as Maria' fic for the Yew Branch series which may or may not be coming BUT

May I suggest an alternative: Desmond being reborn as Adha instead.

Hear me out.

The Chalice bit never really went anywhere in the game but you know what would have the power to unite all factions? Knowledge of the future which Desmond would still have by the 'laws' that govern the Yew Branches

This is purely speculation but it's highly possible that Altaïr and Adha are around the same age. If we assume that Adha is the same age as Altaïr, this would mean that she died when she was 25 years old. You know who else died when he was 25 years old? Our very own Desmond Miles. XD

And the best reason why Desmond being reborn as Adha would be funny

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Catboy nonny back with a catboy thing as usual: let’s go rated E for a split second and what if Desmond is transported to Altair’s childhood as a kid but also a catboy?

Umar tried to be with his son as much as he could but it was inevitable that his missions would leave him away from Masyaf far longer than he wished.

He knew that his son spent his days in the company of the scholars and the books in Masyaf’s grand library. Al Mualim had let the boy in as a show of his trust on Umar and even had some of the scholars teach his son to read and write at an early age.

Umar had never doubted that his son was being treated well. He never doubted that his son was safe.

Bit he also knew that his son buried his loneliness in the comforts of knowledge.

So he could not find it in his heart to tell Altaïr that it was forbidden to have pets when he sent a letter saying that he has a cat now.

Pets were forbidden in Masyaf.

Al Mualim had made it clear how easy it would be for their enemies to use animals against them, to find their weakness or deliver deadly sickness.

But this was the first letter Altaïr ever sent to him, written with unsteady but determined hands.

A scholar must have helped him pen this letter.

He seemed to be enamored by his pet cat.

For a lonely child like Altaïr, it wasn’t surprising…

So Umar wasn’t looking forward in telling Altaïr in person that they couldn’t keep a cat.

Altaïr named his cat ‘Desmond’.

A strange name perhaps but Umar didn’t mind it.

What he did mind was that Desmond wasn’t a cat.

Not truly.

He was a boy who looked so similar to his son that Umar had been worried he was born out of one of the Flowers Umar had shared a night with before he met Maud.

Then…

“Father, this is Desmond!” Altaïr introduced his ‘friend’ with a big smile, his hand holding Desmond’s as the taller boy slouched behind Altaïr.

He was wearing a hood but it was shaped… strangely.

“Say hello to father, Desmond.”

Desmond glanced at Altaïr before staring at Umar.

He made a sound.

It sounded like… ‘hello’ but also like a purr.

And his hood flinched.

It, Umar cannot stress this enough, moved.

“Desmond’s my cat!” Altaïr hugged Desmond with a grin and Umar was about to tell Altaïr that he cannot describe his friends that way when Desmond began to purr.

He was purring as he nuzzled Altaïr’s neck, the movement causing his hood to pull back.

Revealing big fluffy cat ears.

What.

Hi tee! Hope you're having a good day! It's the toxic AltDes a/b/o nonny and*hands you my kidneys* AAAAHH I LOVE IT!! it wasn't as toxic but it was great nonetheless!!!

OKOK so I just had another idea.

Omega Desmond and Alpha Maria.

I have no idea how this idea came to be but it did LOL

So this is gonna be a Maria x Desmond pairing, idk it just sounds so interesting.

In this au women are still treated like shit, so that Maria's story would still fit canon (I love Maria's lore) but omegas are also treated like shit. Of course

You can do the entire Desmond Time Travels Back In Time™ and let him meet Maria or you can make him be born in that time, whatever you see fit!

And Maria absolutely tops :>

Let’s go with Desmond being born there for this one.

Desmond would be the omega twin of the alpha Altaïr who remained in Paradise where it’s supposed to be safe.

In reality, he’s kept in Paradise to keep Altaïr in check. With Al Mualim being their guardian, there’s actually been talk of him becoming Abbas’ omega to ‘strengthen the bonds’ between Altaïr and Abbas, whatever the fuck that means.

Desmond knows that’s bullshit and Al Mualim keeps dangling him over to Abbas to keep Altaïr on the line and Abbas loyal to him because, for some reason, Abbas actually likes him.

Desmond usually spends his time trying to sneak out of Paradise to talk to Altaïr or to his brother’s beta best friend Kadar. (Or Kadar could also be an omega in Paradise that follows Desmond around because they’re BFF and he has a hhuuggeeee crush on Altaïr, depends if you wanna add a side serving of Altaïr x Kadar for this one XD)

Desmond spent most of his life sneaking in and out of Paradise, even donning the robes of an Assassin to blend in (he has to rub sooooo many scent covering herbs to make it harder for people to realize that he’s an omega) and Altaïr is a horrible enabler who teaches him whatever he learned, be it for stealth or for slitting a guy’s throat.

He would help Altaïr take out Al Mualim when Al Mualim tried to hypnotize him using the Apple (they both learned that Desmond is immune to the Apple that day) but he stayed behind when Altaïr went to Acre because…

Well…

No one expected Altaïr to go straight to Cyprus after that mission.

In this one, Altaïr returned with Maria immediately after Acre because, while Altaïr does want to join Maria on her journey eastward, he wants his twin to join them as well. Maria agreed to it after hearing how Desmond had never stepped outside of Masyaf at all and she honestly had this demure soft-spoken omega image of Desmond because Altaïr describes him as the kindest sweetest person in the entire world.

(If Malik ever heard Altaïr describe Desmond like that, he’d have reminded Altaïr that his supposed ‘kindest sweetest’ twin have made three Assassins beg for mercy when they were just a tad too touchy and Desmond was just a teenager back then)

And now we have the perfect slowburn ‘roadtrip’ idea for Desmond and Maria… with big brother Altaïr having to suffer through their blossoming love.

Catboy nonny with a message.

Master and kitten dynamic AltDes complete with collar

Edit: I forgot to include this ask in this one as well TTATT

The catboy!Desmond ask, the Desmond hates baths sequel, additional ideas of catboy!Desmond, catboy Desmond with a cat bell and the “How did Desmond get his bell?” idea for those unfamiliar with it. The above is more or less EziDes so we’re going to focus on an AltDes version for this one.

I don’t know how graphic this could be considered so I’m just gonna hide it here just to be sure.

There were many incidents that could be filed to the mental folder called ‘things Desmond Miles is embarrassed remembering’.

Hell.

It’s actually more accurate to call it a large hole though than just a folder.

There were too many things Desmond didn’t want to remember because of how embarrassing they had been.

This current situation…

… was definitely high up there.

“You’ve been working hard today, haven’t you, my Desmond?”

Desmond couldn’t even answer Altaïr, his entire body having turned to putty already. His entire body continued to vibrate, a distinct purring sound leaving his lips as he tilted his head. He shivered as he felt Altaïr’s hand caress the side of his neck, slowly making its way towards his chin.

His entire face felt hot.

His body trembled.

His lips parted, letting out a soft gasp that was quickly drowned at by the embarrassing sounds more feline than human that left his lips.

Above him, Altaïr’s lips curved into a small smile.

“How should I reward you today…” Altaïr mused as his fingers moved lower. Desmond arched his back when he felt Altaïr’s fingers caressed his Adam’s Apple before his point finger curled around the padded collar around his neck.

“Maybe we should play for a bit?” Altaïr asked and Desmond’s ears twitched, a surprised gasp leaving his lips when he felt Altaïr tug his collar.

“Maybe you should do that in your room instead of your office?”

Desmond jumped off the table and hid underneath, ears flattening against his head as his entire face turned red.

“Malik.” Altaïr greeted as he sat back on his chair, casually rearranging the papers and scrolls that have been pushed aside earlier.

“Mentor.” Only Malik would be able to add so much disappointment in one word and Desmond’s tail curled around his leg as he was left mortified by being seen in such a state.

Sure, they still had their clothes on but there was no way anyone would have mistaken what they were doing.

Desmond didn’t even know he could freaking purr of all things!

Oh god.

Altaïr was going to use this to his advantage.

Desmond just-

Desmond’s breath hitched, his legs instinctively opening at the feeling of Altaïr’s boot pressing against his groin.

“The Rafiq of Acre sent an urgent message.” Malik started and Desmond covered his mouth with both of his hands to try and muffle his purring as Altaïr kept a steady pressure between his legs, “There have been signs of strange crusader activities in Acre. None of the informants seemed to know what’s happening-”

Unable to stop himself, Desmond began to rut against Altaïr’s boot, tears forming in his eyes.

Malik paused for a moment before sighing as he reminded them with gritted teeth, “I can still see you, Desmond. The desk doesn’t have a cover.”

Desmond froze for a moment, the heat of his body turning cold from embarrassment.

“I will allow you to watch, Malik.” Altaïr said as he pushed his boot against Desmond’s crotch, making Desmond let out a small squeaky sound that surprised Desmond himself, “But only watch.”

“Thank you but no thank you. Just…” Malik rubbed the side of his head as he said with gritted teeth, “Do your job, Altaïr.”

“I am doing my job.” Altaïr replied calmly, “Both as a mentor and…

“As a master.”

I just had this hilarious thought

What if Desmond turned into a rat after touching the eye

He could still be in the modern era or he could be sent back in time (could be AltDes-) and he just tries to help anyway he can be it retrieving documents or things or distracting guards because his body is too small for anything else

It might be because I just watched a youtube video talking about favorite Pixar movies but I just imagine Desmond Ratatouille-ing some poor Assassin so he can do more than just retrieve items or be a distraction.

Like, just imagine him Ratatouille-ing Kadar and both Malik and Altaïr knew something is wrong because Kadar is moving a bit weird BUT he is also moving better than he ever did.

It didn’t take long before they learned about the rat that can control Kadar by just grabbing his hair.

And Desmond was just going “fuck it!” when he started piloting Kadar, wondering if he could do something as weird as that one animated movie he watched in a bootleg DVD he bought from the shady dude behind the 7-Eleven near his apartment.

Altaïr gets the idea of experimenting if Desmond could ‘pilot’ anyone while Malik thinks they should bring the rat to Al Mualim. Desmond uses Kadar to tell Malik that:

He’s gonna scutter away and they’d never see him again if they try to bring him to Al Mualim

Oh, and Al Mualim is a Templar.

Anyway, the trio decides to try and find evidence of Al Mualim’s treachery while keeping this supposed Apple (Desmond’s words… using Kadar’s mouth) safe and away from Al Mualim.

So now, we have three rogue Assassins that may or may not ask help from Alamut? Malik stresses they need to find proof first before they request help from Alamut. Desmond didn’t even know Alamut could help in this situation. Altaïr didn’t know that as well and Desmond was just like “aaahh, so that’s why I don’t know.”

But, but, but…

More importantly!

We now have the best setup for Altaïr and Desmond flirting…

Using Kadar as a messenger!

Like, just imagine Malik staring in horror as his little brother and the most annoying man he ever knows flirt and then Kadar would be looking at Malik as if to say “IT’S NOT ME! IT’S THE RAT!” with his expression which gets overridden by Desmon piloting him to flirt back to Altaïr again.

Then Altaïr starts courting Desmond by giving gifts… to Kadar… and Kadar is just like “Oh, Altaïr, I do not see- Oh. These are small… food… Oh! This is for Desmond. Yes. Of course. (sssiigghhh)”

And Altaïr starts using the Apple to figure out how to change Desmond back to being human with Desmond helping then Kadar has to listen to Altaïr say something like “Even if we cannot find a way to return you to your human form… my feelings for you would not change.”

And Kadar is torn between becoming goo from all the fluff and thinking “help, someone please help, just, just tap out, tap out, change player, someone please be Desmond’s new mech!”

Oh, and I guess Abbas can get his ass kicked because he’s been tasked to hunt down the trio with some of Masyaf’s best.
