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
Freedom has a price, and for Desmond, that price is steeper than he ever imagined. Exiled, relegated to a pack of one, and doomed to spend the rest of his days trapped in animal form, one would think he'd learned his lesson when it came to sticking his nose into other people's business.

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
At this point, Desmond knew he shouldn't be surprised anymore. Sure, not waking up at the Great Bar of the Afterlife was a bummer, but then again, he should be used to the Ones Who Came Before (And Who Would Not Stop Meddling) throwing him a curveball. He just…didn’t think that included him to wake up 20 years in the past.
(Well, he was here anyways. Might as well make the best of it.)

Summary
The year is 2012. Desmond Miles is an omega in a world that doesn't want alphas or omegas anymore and, when he's kidnapped, he's certain he's going to be used for his breeding capacity until he dies. What he winds up involved in doesn't have anything to do with his presentation, at first, and everything to do with the cult he ran away from at sixteen, a cult fighting an imaginary war he didn't believe in.
The year is 1476. Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a recently presented alpha riding high on the good life in Florence when he begins seeing a strange figure. A strange figure nobody else can see. But when his family is betrayed, he must become more than a noble Florentine alpha if he is to survive: he must become an Assassin. And with the help of the strange figure, maybe he can become all he needs to be.
