Summary
He was going to kill Piero.
The lens in his mask whirled and hissed, leaving him blind in one eye and with focused vision in the other as he balanced high above the hallway. Frantic twisting and tapping did nothing, leaving him pulling the mask off with a soft curse under his breath.
And it wasn't as if he could walk around with his bared face as the most wanted man in the Empire.
Hopefully the Whaling outfit folded carefully in the storage box came in his size.

Summary
The return of Emperor Euhorn Kaldwin from his trip to Serkonos was nothing Daud would usually have paid attention to - if not for the 'gift' he'd brought with him, a Serkonan swordsman with a familiar name. It wasn't the Corvo he knew, couldn't be, but...
Daud had always been too curious for his own good.

Summary
The Empress never chose Corvo as her personal bodyguard. He became one of the Officers of her Guard, but he wasn't there when she was assassinated. It changes a lot of things... and yet not so much.

Summary
AU where Daud is a young heretic who is just going about his ways, studying everything he can, and decides it would be brilliant to infiltrate the Abbey and utilize all their knowledge and influence for his own education. He steps through a doorway in the Abbey basements, curious about the runes and writings scrawled all over it, and walks out in another time. In Dunwall Tower.
And a much older Corvo Attano finds a younger version of his lover meandering around his home, dressed as an overseer.

Summary
“I’ll do anything.”
“Anything?”
Daud looks up at him – at his mask’s soulless lenses, more like, and Corvo knows it the instant he has him. Dead grey eyes sparkling with the tiniest bit of hope, clinging to life like an eel to a hook.
“You want something.” A statement, not a question. “Order away, bodyguard.”

Summary
In the end, Corvo has no one to blame but himself. He, after all, had been the first to spare Daud after besting the assassin in a duel. He, after all, had been anxious to explain his motives for doing so - at length - to Emily, when she had, one sunny afternoon in the Tower pavilion where her mother had met her violent death, asked what had happened to her mother's murderer.
Now her letter of pardon seems to burn in his coat pocket on the right, opposite the Heart that he yet holds in his left coat pocket, and it feels like betrayal and not betrayal as he watches the sea pass him by, on his way to Serkonos on a fast ship, with Daud's apparent successor-via-default by his side. Life is infinitely ironic.

Summary
“Can I share your table?” Corvo tried.
The man glanced pointedly around his workspace at the mess of notes and documents and textbooks before looking at Corvo with an unimpressed frown.
“Lord Attano,” the man said slowly, waving at the empty seat with a sarcastic flourish.
“Just Corvo,” Corvo replied with a grimace. “Please.”
“Well, just Corvo,” the man began with a considering frown, “I’m just Daud.”
***
Corvo spends a winter at the Academy of Natural Philosophy, per Jessamine's insistence, and gains far more than just an education.

Summary
“This better be important,” Bucky growled in his very best Director of SHIELD voice. He found it reminiscent of the Colonel’s gravely tone.
“It is, sir,” Coulson said urgently. “It’s—it’s the Captain, sir. Captain Rogers has been found.”
Bucky slammed right into the car in front of him.
[After sixty-six years, by pure chance, Steve Rogers has been found in the ice. For Bucky Barnes this is an actual, certifiable miracle. But it doesn't come without complications.]

Summary
Corvo wrenched back from Jessamine. “What day is it?”
She blinked at him, clearly struggling to catch up with his strange behavior. “The second of the Month of Clans. Corvo, are you feeling alright? What’s wrong?”
The breath punched out of his lungs. “It’s 1836?” I have many powers and abilities. Corvo’s ears rang with the echo of whale song. It wasn’t actually possible, was it? And yet, was the proof not right there in his arms?
Corvo Attano's world crumbled into ash the day the assassin, Daud, murdered his Empress, and nothing has been right in it since. When the Outsider steps in to change fate for his favored Marked, Corvo will stop at nothing to make sure the second chance isn't wasted. With all his memories from the erased time, Corvo and Jessamine must work in secret with few allies to foil the Spymaster's plot, but that means the infamous Knife of Dunwall must be dealt with. To protect Jessamine, Corvo will do anything--even work alongside the one man he hates above all others.
