Summary
Rebecca just wanted to make something fun as a way to cope with the stress of being confined in the Grand Temple, trying to save the world while also trying to ignore the family drama happening in the background that absolutely nobody signed up for.
Of course, because this was the Animus, something had to happen while Desmond was just trying to get through Connor’s memories without ‘accidentally’ strangling Haytham just to make him stop commenting about how Connor runs the Aquila.
Now, Desmond is stuck in Rebecca’s incomplete dating sim and must get a date for the upcoming ball without getting any of the possible targets into a negative affection rating as that would mean his death…
Oh. And his possible targets are his ancestors because that’s just how unfortunate Desmond Miles is.
(tl;dr: Desmond gets stuck in an otome game because the Animus glitched out and his primary love interests are Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, and Haytham)

Summary
“I think the Head Boy was having sex in there. With the scary guy.”
“The scary—Mydei?” Castorice asks, incredulous. “He’s not scary at all. In fact, he’s the president of the baking club and—WAIT, THEY WERE DOING WHAT?”
Phainon and Mydei are acting weird. Castorice draws the obvious conclusion: they’re having sex in the Prefects’ Baths.

Summary
While it was true that Desmond Miles had a terrible childhood, Desmond was pretty sure that between him and his three ancestors, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad would be crowned as the king in the most screwed-up childhood category.
And, instead of dying after using the device back in the Grand Temple, Desmond now had first-row seat in the tragic play that was Altaïr’s life in the Levantine Brotherhood.
Oh. And he gets to play the part of the doomed younger brother of Malik Al-Sayf, Kadar Al-Sayf.
You know what? Screw that. Desmond isn’t going to just let himself get killed because of Altaïr’s dumb arrogant ass. He’ll survive that day in Jerusalem even if it means becoming Altaïr’s own (dubious) moral compass.

Summary
Juno and Minerva had presented two options to Desmond, both equally awful. But who were they to tell him those were the only two options? The Apple responded to him for a reason, after all.
Rather than die to save the world, Desmond uses the Grand Temple and the Apple to search for a better option. Not just for the world, for himself, but for Ezio, who suffered so much for so little reward.
It's December, 1476, and Desmond, fueled with the power and calculations of the Apple, intends on rewarding his prophet, not with answers, but with something better: a chance to save his family, and to correct his biggest regret concerning Leonardo.
Desmond knows saving the world will be easier with more Auditore men. It will certainly be more attractive, that's for sure.

Summary
The Isu built humans in their image—flawed, emotional, stubborn. So, perhaps it was inevitable that everything else created by their hands also picked up those same imperfections.
The Eye was no exception to that.
In which, the Eye has an existential crisis and Desmond tries to survive medieval Italy, which would have been easier to do if it weren’t for the goddamn wings.

Summary
When Ezio arrives in Roma, he doesn’t expect someone else to burn Borgia towers before he can get his hand at it. He especially doesn’t expect that “someone else” to be two teenage brothers from Firenze who are out for chaos.
So he introduces them to the Brotherhood, obviously.or
Ezio accidentally adopts Desmond and Clay, not knowing they might be his /descendants/ sons.

Summary
“Excuse me. May I sit here?”
Al-Haitham looks up. He watches the student’s red eyes darken with recognition. Unfortunately, Al-Haitham recognizes him too.
“Would you leave if I said ‘no’?” Al-Haitham asks.
And just like that, the student is sliding into the seat, flipping up the desk and pulling his tablet out. He shoots Al-Haitham a glare just as the professor starts lecturing.
(Al-Haitham, Kaveh, and the three semesters in between.)

Summary
“It was nighttime, and we were looking out on Ay-Khanoum. We were flirting a little bit too. You told me you loved me. I told you I already knew. And then I asked you… 'If I loved you back, what would we do?’”
“And what did I say?”
“You said, ‘If it were true, I would want to watch the stars from the highest point of Ay-Khanoum with you. I would want to admire this city we built together, holding your hand in mine. I would want to talk with you, and drink with you—and fall into your arms at the end of the day… fall asleep with you.’”
(Through sheer coincidence, Alhaitham and Kaveh regain the memories of their previous samsara.)

Summary
Kaveh meets Al-Haitham again in Lambad’s Tavern—homeless, moraless, jobless with a dendro vision cinched to his waist to prove it.
For lack of better words, Al-Haitham is shorter than he remembers.
“Archons,” he breathes, looking him up and down. “What happened to you?”
“I should be asking you that question,” Al-Haitham says, dry.
“No. No, you really shouldn’t,” Kaveh says, shaking his head.
Al-Haitham snorts.
Al-Haitham gives Kaveh an ultimatum he is desperate to change.

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
08 Oct 2023

Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

Summary
“Al-Haitham, what—”
He freezes.
There is a child in Al-Haitham’s covers, on Al-Haitham’s bed. A child. They can’t be older than two or three from how tiny they are. Their hair is a messy bird’s nest of gray strands, and their hands are small—gripped tight to Al-Haitham’s sheets. The child is drowning in the shirt they have on, the sleeves reaching their elbows and the collar drooping over their chest. For one nonsensical moment, Kaveh thinks, Al-Haitham never told him he had a child.
(Al-Haitham turns into a kid. It goes about as well as you’d expect.)

Summary
Nahida squeezes his hand.
“I sense a great loneliness in you,” she murmurs. “You have recently lost someone important—someone you are not yet sure you can learn to live without.”
Al-Haitham doesn’t reply.
“I understand loneliness,” Nahida says softly. “I understand the pain of having no one but yourself to keep you company.
“In return for my power, I will take your loneliness. You will no longer have to worry about whether you can live without her. You will already know you can.”
(What is a peaceful life if not one without pain?)

“Fuck,” Kaveh breathes.
“What? What happened?” Nilou turns—peeking over his shoulder and letting out a small “oh” before gently patting his back.
“What’s wrong?” Dehya asks. Kaveh wordlessly hands her his phone and drops his head in his hands.
“I’m never playing truth or dare again.”
“Well, I mean. It’s not that bad,” he hears Dehya say, unsure. “You mentioned you were drunk. You’ve done plenty of dumb shit while drunk. You took this dare while drunk.”
“Most of that dumb shit, Al-Haitham witnessed with his own eyes too,” Tighnari adds.
Kaveh glares at Tighnari. Tighnari smiles and shrugs.
(Kaveh confesses. Sort of.)
