Safety Scissors

Altair x Gender-Neutral Reader (platonic)

Warnings - Scissors, hitting

Word Count - 543 words.

Description - Altair and yourself have been friends for a long time. The story of how you met is quite charming, and you tell it as often as you can.

Authors Notes - Hi friends! A few notes, I know it's been a very long time and I know I've written this before. Truthfully, I didn't think I'd ever come back to writing for Assassin's Creed. My interests have changed, and I just don't love it the way that I did. And that's totally okay, things happen. I started this account when I was fifteen. I'm twenty-one now. One thing that hasn't changed was my love for writing. I feel that I've improved drastically (and hopefully I actually have). I was just going to fix the masterlist, make it look pretty, and leave the page alone besides that. But then I read some of what I wrote. I decided I couldn't just leave y'all with this mess of writing that's incredibly out of character (seriously, it's shameful). I don't know if I'll write anything new for this page (maybe just refinishing the works I have on here will rekindle my love for the fandom), but for now I'm just fixing what's here. When all of the old works are more to my satisfaction, I'll finish updating the masterlist. I love y'all, and appreciate those who continue to like and reblog my works.

Love, Ella <3

Altair and yourself have been friends for a long time. Some friendships, you can hardly remember a time before you were close. With Altair, it had been completely different. Whenever you're feeling particularly teasing, or wished to embarrass him, you'd retell the story.

The first day of school was eventful, to say the least. It had earned you a lifelong friend, even if at the time you thought he was a mortal enemy. Your parents had told you fondly that you'd walked into the school, head held high, not for a second looking back.

Distinctly, you remember the nametag that was taped onto your desk, your name written in sharpie. Piecing the memory together as an adult, you can see Altair's name next to yours. At that age, you couldn't know the difference.

"Two words," you'd say, to anyone who would listen.

"Safety. Scissors."

People would gasp in horror, reflecting the memory of both your teacher, and yourself doing the same. The teacher at that point, stormed over, all but ripping the scissors out of his hands before he could do any more damage.

It was too late, and your eyes watered. You'd sat so still while your mother worked on your hair. Hands moving faster than the teachers, you'd smacked him as hard as you could.

Altair, in an attempt to defend himself, at this point in the story would add, "two more words. Black eye."

Much like you did as a child, because not much had changed since then, you would cry out, "yeah, but you deserved it. Took me like two years to get my hair back."

The true bonding moment was when the two of you sat across from each other just outside the principal's office. Both his father, and your mother waited - both staring anxiously at the other.

"Do you have anything to say, Altair," his father, a stern looking man that you decided looked like a wizard.

You remember your mother running her hands over the patch of hair missing from your head.

Altair had the slightest bruise on his cheek, but you couldn't feel a tinge bad about it. At this point in the story, he'll mention how he thinks you'd rock the look now. It earns him a dirty look every time, and he shoots you a look akin to the one he did that very day.

His voice, void of any sincere apology, would speak up at his fathers behest, "I'm very sorry I cut your hair."

At that point, your mother nudged you. Your guess was she had finally noticed you'd left some damage with him as well.

"And you," she'd said, voice nowhere near as commanding as Altair's father.

"Do you have something you'd like to say," she said, and then whispering to you, "you know we don't hit."

"I'm sorry," you'd mumbled, quietly and fast.

"Louder," she encouraged, trying hard to be stern.

"I'm sorry," you'd sighed, exasperated.

Depending on who you were telling the story to, you'd get different reactions. Some asked how you'd managed to become friends, and others would guffaw at the idea of the two of you causing a scene at such a young age. For those that knew you, however, it made perfect sense.

untitled asscreed & one piece crossover

Desmond Miles dies using the Eye in an attempt to save the world form the Sun. When he awakens it’s to a completely different world, filled with pirates and marines and powers that seem magical. The marines find him, and he awakens when a pirate crew decides to attack the marines and ends up finding him and freeing him. At least he’s lucky enough that Edward Kenway was a pirate, even if one very different to the crew he’s now a part of.

this goes in a couple different ways, too.

first idea was that the OP world is Earth after the Calamity, so DFs are what happens when the Pieces of Eden get assimilated into fruits- thus they affect Desmond by making him have the whole ‘golden circuitry’ thing whenever he touches a DF user and can potentially… temporarily use their abilities? Steal them? Idfk, ok. Something alongside those lines. Whatever. Or maybe he can get parts of the Piece of Eden they came from originally? And like, Mythical Zoans are Apples or pieces of the Eye and they affect him more, Logias can be Apples or the Scepter or the Belt, Paramecias are the Shroud or the Scepter, etc. So now he has to go touch enough DF users to have a whole Piece, and they’re tattoo like, gradually appearing on his torso until he has the whole Piece and they can leave his skin and appear in his hands, bc i apparently thought it was cool? i mean, i wasn’t wrong, it sounds dope.

so there was that, and the idea that genetic memories can result in a pseudo-reincarnation, so their memories make some renown Assassins make a resurgence. i thought about making it like they only half-remember them and get the full blast when Desmond- key that he is- comes back. 

i made a plan for this, y’all. i had a list. it’s mostly ‘cause i’m kinda crazy, but jeez. looking back i was way too willing to actually write this out. sadly i probably won’t.

1-      desmond dies and lays forgotten in the grand temple. marines/pirates find him and decide to kidnap him bc he has golden circuitry under his skin and his arm looks a bit weird and who the fuck knows. then the withebeards find him and save him. he becomes friends with most of them but gets along w/ace pretty well (weird childhood buddies!)

2-     thatch dies via teach, ace sets out to get revenge and desmond goes ‘what the hell, why not’ and goes with him. during the trip, he starts getting weird dreams about the other assassins (originally this was just ezio but i think it’d be better if he’d get snatches of what each of them is doing, based on how close to them he was physically) but sees hallucinations about Edward instead and tires not to let it affect him. ace is busy w/revenge, but can tell smth is off. they arrive at an island in which desmond sees a wanted poster of himself next to one of another man in a with hood called ‘the assassin’. he has the same scar. cliffhanger. (this could be either ezio or altair, but it just proves that he’s not the only one from the Brotherhood here)

3-     we change pov to ace, who is watching his new friend/brother become increasingly frantic about this ‘assassin’ and tells him some about his family to try to distract him from the dreams he keeps getting and the things he sees. ace keeps getting more worried about his hallucinations bc they can’t find any doctor to do anything about it and kureha left the island- then someone in sakura island tells him that the strawhats have ‘the doctor’s apprentice’  so now ace is trying to both hunt teach and find someone to heal desmond so we see him having a moral debate about what’s more important to him- his revenge or his family’s lives.

4-     we see a mysterious scene w/ ezio in which he talks to someone- nico robin- and we reach the conclusion that he wants to join crocodile for some reason??? which is that he wants to get info and money but when he sees what’s going on he plans on murdering croco. the strawhats end up interrupting him anyway so when he sees robin sneak into the ship he goes ‘eh, well, whatever’ and goes with her in a weird parallel arc that mirrors desmond’s decision to go with ace, except that desmond goes because he’s more of a passive person but was worried about ace and ezio goes because he’s an active person who wants to know why; why is he here? why can he remember? why is he not dead? why does he keep thinking about some strange man he sees in his dreams sometimes? he decides his new “dream” is to get justice for everyone- remake the brotherhood- when he learns about the crew’s stories.  

5-     we come back to the disaster duo, who are now each other’s other half in being a complete and total mess. desmond is still hallucinating Edward and his search for ‘the assassin’ finally gets him a place: alabasta. they arrive just as the strawhats are in the middle of defeating everyone, so ace decides to butt in and desmond just doesn’t want to see his friend get eviscerated so he helps out in the shadows. desmond is quiet and kinda unassuming the whole time that ace is talking to the strawhats so they don’t really notice him much or anything. this makes it much better for when robin shows up, introduces herself and then ezio steps out and does the same (strawhats: ‘what!? another one!??’) and then asks “and who is that gentleman, if I may ask?” to which desmond steps out. “desmond miles. I’m the key. glad to finally meet you properly, prophet.” cliffhanger.

6-    look the first part of this is various ppl just going

then some weird explaining and desmond finally getting someone to look at his head when ace remembers that “oh yeah btw my friend’s been having vivid hallucinations for a couple of months/weeks. is that normal or…? because he keeps telling me not to worry about it and that it’s been happening for a couple of months but im pretty sure I should be worried about it” and chopper trying not to have an attack then and there while the strawhats that have braincells just look horrified .

7-     so moving on from explanations arc- now we reach…uh. ace and desmond separating but promising to check in with each other every day, because I think that’d be a neat way to cut between scenes- they’re all retellings of what hijinks went down that they’re giving each other, and occasionally they comment on some detail and it gives you a break for bickering from all the drama. they buy snails ig.

  this is also when i ran out of plot, but! i do have like, two pages of notes about what some of the others are up to, so i’m gonna add that at some point later. 

(if anyone sees this [which i doubt, but you never know] and wants to use it, feel free! just @ me!)
