Summary
“WE’RE NOT LAST PLACE! WE’RE NOT LAST PLACE! WE’RE NOT LAST PLACE!”
To that ebullient tune, the team marched into the dressing room, only for the voices to cut off as one upon catching sight of the figure that stood in the middle of it.
Sylvanas opened her eyes briefly, then decided the better option was to shut them again.
“Hello,” said Jaina Proudmoore, the soon-to-be-new coach of the Undercity Rangers. “Catchy slogan. I can see that we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us.”
(AU where Sylvanas captains a hockey team, and Jaina is drafted to coach it.)

Summary
Sylvanas let herself billow through the crack and took her proper form in the bedroom. No longer herself, only vaguely recognizable as a quel’dorei: Elongated, distorted, faintly blurred at the edges where she lost control of the shape again. Her skin purpled and bruised, her hair ashen and limp, her eyes red. “What are you doing here?”
The woman flinched, dropping the shirts in her hands, but recovered quickly. “Hello! Have you seen a seal skin?”

Summary
Jaina has the job because her father thinks she needs to see how ordinary people live. She's not a good barista, and frankly, she's not trying very hard, because her father is Admiral Daelin Proudmoore and nobody wants to get in the middle of the ongoing father-daughter spat.
Sylvanas Windrunner is only in Boralus for a military conference. And the worst coffee she's ever had.

Summary
Desmond was supposed to die after saving the world.
Minerva decides she’d rather tear up the tapestry of time and calculations than let Juno be released. So, she gives Desmond a choice. One that will bring him to the Vault before the Apple can be corrupted by Juno. And to Ezio.
She nor Juno will be able to see the future this decision will bring and, perhaps, that will be the key to success.

Summary
Ezio's gaze was still out the window, and there. There was that look again. The one that was somewhere far from here.
He barely moved when Leonardo slid the paper away and stood, like he hadn't noticed at all.
"Is there something you require of me?" He asked.
Those eyes shifted, the same daze-like quality now hovering over him.
Something was wrong. Very, very wrong.
~
In Ezio's line of work, trust is everything. What is he supposed to do, then, when he can't trust his own eyes?
