Summary
"Sorry for offending your delicate sensibilities," Shaun said dryly. "I forgot you were a connoisseur."
"Hey, I know plenty of bartenders who drink the cheap shit. Myself included." Desmond gestured with the bottle. "But this is just bad."
Shaun and Desmond share a drink. That drink turns into something more. Contains predictable amounts of banter.

Summary
"Desmond, is this a regular fucking occurrence?" Shaun hissed.
Desmond wrinkled his brow and nose, like the question hurt to think about. "Define regular."
Shaun knew that Desmond was experiencing the bleeding effect. It was inevitable. But he hadn't realized it had gone this far.

Summary
Desmond glanced at the time and did some quick mental math, then swore under his breath when he realized just how late it was for Shaun.
"Shit, baby, I forgot it was the middle of the night for you," he said guiltily. He'd been too preoccupied with his own boredom to remember the number of time zones between them.
"That's alright," Shaun said, even though it definitely wasn't. "I knew you'd figure it out eventually. I was working anyway, and I could use a distraction, frankly."
Desmond smiled, despite everything. God, it felt good to hear Shaun's voice. Anyone's voice, really, but Shaun's especially. "So you're not going to make fun of me for being too self-absorbed to remember how time works?"
"I would, normally, but I haven't seen you for over a week and I'm tired, so you get uncharacteristically-nice-Shaun for now. No promises if you start calling me every day, though."
Desmond gets stranded in a safehouse by a storm and calls Shaun for some company. To the surprise of absolutely no one, they get horny about it.

Summary
"She means a great deal to you." It wasn't a question, nor an accusation. Just an observation. A very, very dangerous one.
More than you'll ever know. Corvo swallowed. "She's been my charge since the day of her birth."
Emily falls asleep on the boat ride back to the Hound Pits after she's rescued from the Golden Cat. Samuel and Corvo talk.

Summary
"It's Shaun. He's still working."
"Shaun?" Desmond frowned. "He told me he was almost done the last time I talked to him, and that was hours ago."
"That's what he told me, too, but I was in there five minutes ago and he was definitely still working. And not in a good mood." Rebecca pulled her left leg up to her chest, socked foot braced against the counter. "I tried to talk him into going to bed and it did not go well."
Desmond put the last dish into the drying rack and turned off the sink. "So you want me to talk to him?"
"Would you?" Rebecca asked, putting on her most imploring look. "He might actually listen to you."Shaun refuses to go to bed. Desmond convinces him, eventually.

Absence of Egg (suspicious) [Draft Version] by theskew
Fandoms: Assassin's Creed - All Media Types
22 Jul 2026

Summary
written for the 120_minuten sommerchallenge on dreamwidth.
Today’s target was the auction house, which was the most likely lead to the Egg’s location.
And Shaun was in a tuxedo.
Desmond had not known Shaun owned a tuxedo, much less brought it with him. But here he was, white shirt under a sleek black vest and a jacket that looked tailored to his exact measurements. He’d done something to his hair that made it look intentional, in stark contrast to his usual mussed bedhead.
Desmond felt inadequate.
He also could not stop staring.Series

Summary
“None of my business,” Malik echoed, before scoffing loudly. “At the end, who was it that had to hear from a hurried informant that the great Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad was getting cut down by a small company of guards? At the end, who was it that had to save this sorry, arrogant fool from an early meeting with Allah? None of my business, he says!”
Malik threw the cleaning cloth on the ground beside Altaïr. It made a disgusting, wet, squelching sound as it hit the stone floor, water pooling underneath it.
(Did Malik even know, this obscene power Altaïr had given to him and only him, so absolute and total it tethered on dangerous?)

Summary
written for the 120_minuten sommerchallenge on dreamwidth.
“Oh god,” said Desmond. “I’m not hallucinating. You can see each other.” The edges of his vision became fuzzy again. “I need to-”
He tried to get up from his floor spot and failed, because his legs had apparently lost their structural integrity entirely.Door-Shaun took a few steps into the room. Walked past the sofa, past sofa-Shaun and Desmond, and set down the grocery bags onto the table, his back to the room.
“Desmond,” he said, and it sounded strained. “This is Ian. My brother.”Desmond looked at sofa-Shaun, and Ian looked back and said “Hello.”
Desmond laid down.

Summary
“You’re cute in that dress,” Desmond said.
Shaun huffed. “I’m not cute, Desmond, and it’s a shirt, quite obviously so, I-”
“You’re cute in that shirt, then.”
“I’m not- Eli, back me up here.”
Eli blinked. “You kind of are.”
“Traitor.”
Eli kissed him.
“Anyone want breakfast?” Desmond already had the pan out. “I was thinking tofu scramble.”
