Pinch Hit #1
CLAIMED!
Assassin's Creed - All Media Types
Malik Al-Sayf/Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad
Ezio Auditore da Firenze/Leonardo da Vinci
Ezio Auditore da Firenze/Aguilar de Nerha
Setting: Canon Medieval Setting, Canon Renaissance Setting
Likes: banter; competence; competitions; fighting/sparring; friends to lovers; enemies to lovers; soulmates; (requited) pining; undercover as a couple; crack treated seriously; ridiculous adventures; murder mysteries; canon divergence; Pacific Rim AUs; Gothic horror; horror in general; identity porn; age difference; height difference; time loops; enemies forced to work together; hurt/comfort; unconventional romantic gestures.
Smut likes: fight sex; rough sex; sex pollen; something made them do it; size kink; first time; knifeplay; gunplay; breathplay; toys and insertion; voyeurism; scars; writing on skin; medical kink; shaving (face or otherwise) - and vanilla sex is also great!
DNWs: kidfic; genderswap; ageplay/infantilisation; identity headcanons; any mention of spiders/arachnids at all.
Opt-ins: Graphic Depictions of Violence; Major Character Death
Prompts (Altaïr/Malik):
- Pre-canon rivals with benefits with irate Malik and egotistical Altaïr!
- Mid-canon, Malik realising that Altaïr actually isn't the terrible man he used to know
- Altaïr comes back injured from a mission; Malik takes care of him; the relationship progresses
- A Piece of Eden made them do it
- Tropes! Not-actually-Canadian Shack; sharing a bed; wearing each other's clothes; soulmates (what if Altaïr's name was on the arm that Malik lost? D:)
Prompts (Ezio/Leonardo):
- Weird tropey effects of a Piece of Eden (sex pollen, amnesia, bodyswap, soulbonding, whatever you like!)
- Leonardo painting or drawing Ezio (with him as a model posing for him, or from memory)
- Ezio sees Leonardo with a male lover and realises, to his surprise, that he's jealous
- Pretending to be lovers to give Ezio an alibi leads to something more!
- Ezio is injured and goes to Leonardo for help (because, let's face it, the plague doctors are creepy and Leonardo knows anatomy!)
Prompts (Ezio/Aguilar):
- One needs the other's help; maybe it's an assassination, maybe it's spying, maybe they need two Assassins to get into an Assassin vault
- They're captured by the Templars and work together toward escape
- The mentors of the various Brotherhoods are called to Rome to help Ezio; Aguilar goes; apparently "help Ezio" is complicated
- Conducting an affair (or odd flirting that turns into something more?) via coded letters across Europe
- For whatever reason you can conjure, Aguilar having to wear Ezio's white robes (maybe he's pretending to be him?)
Also interested in art, should that interest an artist!

Opt-ins: Graphic Depictions of Violence; Major Character Death; Rape/Non-Con (for Will/Adhemar only!)
Prompts (Adhemar/Will):
- Other Things that might have happened while Will was in the cell or the stocks...
- More tournaments post-canon where their only real competition is always each other, and getting into grumbly arguments about it over too much wine
- Adhemar is injured and can't joust but comes to watch Will (and probably mock him); they end up watching the other rounds together (and arguing, and maybe more!)
- Adhemar hosts a tournament; Will wanders around the castle, seeing and overhearing things he shouldn't
- Jocelyn marries someone else and they're both left like, "...what just happened?" and end up commiserating
Prompts (Edward/Will):
- Will tries to thank Edward; Edward jokingly tells him he can think of a few ways he could do that; Will is surprised to find he'd be into that
- Edward gifts Will property of his own and a house to live in, etc...and visits
- Identity porn! Edward maintaining his false identity so he can joust and Will going along with it
- Drinking together! Terrible dancing together! Random UST around each other until it eventually gets resolved!
- Will realises he actually has more in common character-wise with the heir to the throne of England than he has with the woman he's meant to love; this is awkward to say the least
