like mentor, like student pt. 1

character : Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore, Connor (Ratohnhake:ton) Kenway, Edward Kenway & Desmond Miles,

cw : Mention of blood and wounds, violence, sillyness, you know, a little bit of everything.

+ summary : you're an apprentice under the supervision of your mentor, but they have a platonic love for you. Do they have to deal with you or do you have to deal with them? This is the first of two parts I will be doing on this type of headcanon.

- notes : English is not my native language, so please be patient with me. Also this is my first post about AC, I hope you enjoy these headcanons.

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

✒ You're fucked up hahaha

✒ Being his apprentice it's a title everyone would die for, that's means he saw something special in you. Let's pretend he isn't in love with you.

✒ Now, you're under a lot of pressure, every step you take, every move you make, every look, every breath, everything has to be perfect. Being his student does not mean you're safe from your duties and his expectations. Sorry for that.

✒ He doesn't hold back in training; he loves to see how every time you fail, you get back up with even more determination.

✒ He doesn't admit it but he love hear you call him "master". This man only responds to your call even if there are any other asking for his help.

✒ He call you: Dove or novice, depending on how you did the job.

✒ On every mission assigned to him, you with him or vice versa. Literally takes you everywhere, by his side.

✒ The only time he "lets you go" is when he needs information, so gathering it is your fieldwork during missions. But he always find a way to get to you once he's finished his part of the job.

✒ Even if he doesn't want to or can't, you have individual missions to accomplish, but that doesn't stop him. As your mentor, it's his duty to make sure you'll be okay, right?

✒ When he sees you applying everything you've learned on missions, whether it's combat techniques, assassination, or even helping him decipher information, even if he says he didn't ask for your help, he can't help but smile proudly.

✒ "I wasn't wrong about you, little dove".

✒ When you get injured on missions, he simply sees red. He'll take you to the shelter and tend to your wounds, no matter how minor they may be. He can't deal with the idea that he failed to protect you. Once he makes sure you're safe, he'll take care of the rest.

✒ You're going to see him come back with blood in his ropes, obviously is not his blood.

✒ "You should have waited for me, you're still a novice... they could have killed you".

Ezio Auditore

✒ A blessing or a curse?

✒ You're his favorite apprentice, his eyes are always on you, yeah... Better you forget about privacy and personal space.

✒ The good new is that you don't have to deal with him alone, you've Leonardo!! If you want to escape from your mentor, just visit his house, he'll be happy to help you.

✒ But you can hide from him all the time, he'll find you any time soon, he always does.

✒ He loves to call you: "Cuore mio" (my heart), if you did a great job, but if you fucked up all the work, you will be called "cucciolo" (puppy).

✒ As much as he wants to, he knows perfectly well that he cannot accompany you on all your missions and vice versa, which is why you two always promise each other to return safe and sound.

✒ When you go on missions, he's by your side like a magnet.

✒ Watching you use everything you learned, make him smile satisfied, cause that mean you will be fine, he cannot afford to lose anyone else.

✒ "Excellent job, Cuore mio, you always exceed my expectations".

✒ "This time you screwed up, like the cucciolo you're".

✒ Lord have mercy on anyone who hurts you, cause that person don't will see the light again. As I said before, he doesn't want to lose anyone else, if he sees you injured, he would go mad. It doesn't care if the wound is minor or not, he wants you safe and sound like right fucking now.

✒ Be for sure that the blood will be spilled wouldn't come from him.

✒ "You've to be more careful, I can't protect you all the time, cuore mio"

Connor (Ratonhnake:ton) Kenway

✒ Bro... How did you manage to gain his trust?

✒ A lot of training in the forest, he'll teach you about hunting, camouflage, how to survive with limited resources, and most importantly, how to respect nature and connect with it.

✒ He'll also teach you everything he knows about boats.

✒ If you ask him to teach you his native language, at first he'll hesitate to do so, but if you use it as a code between yourselves, it is the perfect excuse to teach you something about his people and the place he come from.

✒ When he talks to Achilles about you, he calls you "the fawn". Never calls you like that when you're with him.

✒ "So you're the baby deer Connor adopted as his student".

✒ "I'm what?"

✒ "Don't listen to him..."

✒ Stay. Away. From. His. Father. This was the first rule he gave to you. Charles Lee already killed his mother. You're very important to him; the last thing he wants is to lose you to a templar like his father.

✒ When you go on missions, he doesn't interfere in your tasks, just like birds, he wants you to learn to fly by your own. Only interferes when he sees that you're in serious danger.

✒ You were gathering information when you were ambushed by templars and ended up hurt. Thanks to the lessons of your mentor, you were able to escape alive.

✒ While your wounds are being treated, all he needs to know is what those templars looked like. He'll finish the mission for you, and with a couple of lives too.

✒ "You're not ready to go on missions alone yet; the world is still too dangerous for you...".

Edward Kenway

✒ I'm so sorry for you.

✒ I'm not going to say he'll teach you about drinks, fights clubs and how to charm someone.

✒ He's knows more than you can imagine. Your training varies between the islands and the Jackdaw.

✒ You've to learn everything about the damn ship, cause you'll live in there all the time. Of course he helps you if you need it, but he prefers that you learn to communicate with the ship on your own.

✒ You must learn each island like the back of your hand. And he'll make sure you know how to get back to the port.

✒ So... Yeah, you'll have to memorize all the maps.

✒ But the most important thing he will teach you is to be loyal to your convictions and hold on to your dreams.

✒ The rest of the crew nicknamed you “the compass.” Because ever since Captain Edward took you under his wing, they noticed that his mood improved, and also because, no matter how or when, he always manages to find you.

✒ He calls you: "Gold coin". Why? Because you are worth as much as or more than a Spanish doubloon. Too much sugar captain.

✒ But when you don't finish your duties, or you fucked up, he calls you "Landlubber", sorry not sorry.

✒ No one would dare harm the Jackdaw captain's student, but at the same time, you are a high-value target for capturing the assassin pirate.

✒ And those who try to kidnap you, may the Lord have mercy on their souls, because the captain will have no problem reducing every island and ship to ashes in order to find you.

✒ "You understand now why I call you my golden coin?"

Desmond Miles

✒ More than a mentor, he would be an apprentice like you. You learn from each other, even though he knows a little more thanks to the memories of his ancestors.

✒ You train together.

✒ In missions, you compete to see who reaches the target first.

✒ He just call you by your name.

✒ Please, bother Shaun with him.

✒ Compliments here and there.

✒ "Of course you can't, you're a novice"

✒ "You're a novice too. Just because you've unlocked skills through your ancestors' memories doesn't make you a master!"

✒ Speaking of memories, if you are his “apprentice,” it's because you didn't see him as crazy for the bleeding effect.

✒ He teases you because you worry every time he has to enter the animus, but deep down he really appreciates that you pay attention to him during the immersion and help him deal with the bleeding hallucinations.

✒ The first time you came back injured from a mission, it was a reality check for him. So from that moment on, it's normal that on missions, he's the one who volunteers to face any danger first.

✒ This man is capable of sacrifice himself for your safety (just remember the games). He'll not hesitate to rush to your rescue, help you if you are injured, or kill the person responsible for such misfortune.

✒ "You'll drive crazy (Y/N)... I fucking swear to you, If you go alone again, I'll kill you with my own hands"

I'm just going back to my hyperfixations and it feels so good.

Remember that you can send me requests, questions, etc. I will be happy to respond.

Ghost Desmond Miles

You and your friends decided to do a test of courage on Halloween in an old house at the end of town that was supposed to be haunted. Of course, you wait until dark, because what kind of test of courage would that be in the light?

As soon as it got dark, you went inside with your friends. You went in together and planned to split up there. However, this remained only a plan, as others were afraid to go out on their own.

It was a big old house after all, and you've seen enough horror movies to know that splitting up is always a bad idea.

You all turned on your flashlight and started exploring. There was darkness everywhere, lots of dust and cobwebs. The floor beneath you creaks with every step.

You walked down the main hall and headed up the stairs. You planned to take it systematically from top to bottom. Of course, omit the cellar or only the most daring ones.

As you walked up the stairs, you felt the temperature drop around you and steam left your mouth for a moment. You looked at each other to see if it was really a ghost or what. Immediately, however, the temperature returned to normal.

Here and there you heard the screeching of the floor and walls, but nothing else. It wasn't until you passed the next two rooms that the painting on the wall shook before falling to the ground. Your friend screamed so much at that you thought you went deaf.

As you progressed, objects around you began to move and fall more and more often, and it even happened that the candlestick rose and flew directly at your friend, who missed him by only millimetres.

More screeching noises began to echo through the house as if someone was watching you and whispering around. It felt like someone was there with you.

A light came on in the last room upstairs and a white figure appeared in the doorway. However, the light immediately went out and the figure disappeared with it.

The noise, the movement of the thing and the flashing of the light began to increase in intensity and you took the stairs down almost two at a time.

You immediately headed for the exit when a pale figure appeared in front of you and raised a pitch-black hand towards you. You immediately stopped and headed to the opposite side.

Everything around you was shaking and a male voice carried through the house urging you to leave.

You ran across the living room to the kitchen where the back entrance was supposed to be. You ran through the kitchen as a chill shot through you and you tripped over the raised threshold.

You fell to the ground, but no one noticed in the panic. Maybe also because all the windows and doors were slammed shut.

You scrambled to your feet and noticed that your knees and palms were scraped. You sat on the ground and panted. You didn't expect such an escape. You didn't even notice the white figure appearing next to you.

“You're hurt,” he said, leaning down.

“It's nothing, just a few scratches,” you replied looking at the ghost.

“I guess I got a little carried away,” he replied, scratching the back of his neck before helping you to your feet. He blamed himself for your fall.

“You were amazing. I get the impression they were completely terrified. I was just a little clumsy,” you smiled at him. Even if Desmond was a ghost, he probably wouldn't hurt a fly.

Desmond smiled at you before disappearing, reappearing in a moment with disinfectant and band-aids.

You sat down in the kitchen on a chair and let him treat you. Desmond first applied disinfection to your scrapes and then covered them with plasters. His touch was slightly cold, yet gentle.

"I'll make you your favourite drink for that," he said before walking through the wall into the next room where the old bar was. The alcohol in it was still good though, and Desmond looked after it and kept it kind of clean.

You walked behind him and sat down at the bar. Desmond poured the ingredients into a shaker and started mixing, tossing the shaker around, and it was a bit of a performance. He then poured you a drink and sat across from you.

“My great ghostly bartender,” you said, kissing his cheek. You still wondered a little how it was possible to touch him as a ghost, but neither of you had an answer.

"Just a ghost," he replied dejectedly. You knew he would prefer to be alive again and take you out on a date without any problems.

“It's okay,” you said, smiling at him. You were glad to at least be able to see him, talk to him and touch him. Desmond looked into your eyes and took your hand.

"Are you sure about that?" he asked you hesitantly. You nodded your head in agreement and gave his hand a light squeeze.

Desmond caressed your cheek before leaning in and kissing your lips. It was like a snowflake landed on your lips.

desmond hall with a sensitive s/o

pairing: desmond hall x gn!reader

tags: comfort, crying, mentions of executions, mentions of dead bodies, mentions of arguments

desmond knows how emotional and sensitive you are

he's always trying to stop fights between his classmates, so that they wouldn't yell around you

he'll cover your ears as they yell at each other

and if he can't stop them fighting, he'll take your hand and go on a walk with you. usually in the garden, since it's so quiet there

when a body is found and he'll arrive before you do, he'll wait by the entrance and stop you from walking inside, so you won't have to see one of your dead friend

during the investigation, desmond will give you easy tasks

like checking your classmates alibi's or seeing if knives from the kitchen are missing, etc. 

just nothing involving the dead body

he always volunteers to take care of the dead body and stays behind, to make sure the killer can't destroy any evidence

he can't stand seeing a former friend of his like this as well, but he knows it would be much harder for you, so he takes on that burden

during the class trials, he always keeps an eye on you

he wishes he could keep you out of this, but he's trying his best to comfort you

if he's close to you, he'll whisper comforting things to you. he'll assure you that everything will be alright or warns you when something disturbing comes up and advices you to cover your ears

you are usually crying and shaking by the end of the trials, watching yet another person dying right in front of your eyes

desmond does his best to cover your eyes and ears during the execution, wrapping his arms around you

but sometimes he can't get to you fast enough

you'll usually spend the night in his dorm room after the trials, cuddling as he tries to comfort you a little

[wwwdotwhatdotcom]

Can we have another one of the 'x short reader' ones? But this time, I think it's Desmond's turn.

OF COURSE

desmond and his short lover

for starters, desmond absolutely teases you about your height.

of course, he’s not mean about it. its more of asking if you can reach stuff that you absolutely can reach, or picking you up when you ask for help when you are trying to reach something.

he’s not the tallest person himself, being only 5’8. buut, he’s much taller than you!

he’ll often rest his chin on your head, and just stay there.

of course, he won’t tease you if you tell him to stop.

desmond is a fan of physical touch, at least i think so, so expect a lot of hugs, and a lot of cuddling.

he’ll be amused if you try to be big spoon- you’re just so… small! but he won’t protest

all in all, he loves you very much, no matter if you’re super short or unnaturally tall <3

[kisstheassassins]

Hi! I would like to request the Assassins (Altair, Ezio, Connor, and Desmond) reacting to a s/o's singing, please! I love your work

Hope this was satisfactory my dear <3

Altair

Wasn’t expecting to hear you, as he’s never really had the chance to hear you sing

He stands on the opposite side of the wall so you can’t see him

Altair doesn’t realize until he moves that he’s smiling while listening to you

he is now leaning against the doorway, simply standing still and lovingly watching you while you’re in your own little world

“Don’t let me stop you love,” he’d say. “You sound wonderful.”

Ezio

his reading is cut short by the sound of your voice, and he immediately investigates

you’re singing to yourself in the mirror while you get ready, and you don’t see to notice him peek in the doorway

his chest feels warm, seeing how at home you are and comfortable enough to let yourself loose and sing in his presence

he doesn’t hear it often, so he tries to stay hidden a few moments before making an appearance

“Beautiful,” he says, “just as you are. Can you sing again? For me?”

Connor 

A trip back from Boston and Connor ties his horse to the stall to have it brushed. He didn’t expect to hear your sweet voice just in the stall next to him

Not too loud, not too low, but just audible enough to peak his curiosity. You must not have heard him, being in your own little world why you worked on your own horse

He’s the one that doesn’t disturb you, and instead leans again the wall and listens

He realizes he’s smiling to himself, and instead of making an appearance he simply walks off and continues his chores

when you meet up with him, he’ll casually mention it to you

“Perhaps you could perform again. You sounded so happy.”

Desmond

It’s kind of boring in the hideouts they’ve been in, not having access to most of the internet. Can’t exactly go on youtube or anything like that

so when Des hears you singing his face lights up and he runs to check it out

he’s like a child, smiling widely as he listens and even bobbing his head

you don’t even have to be good at singing - just hearing it lifts his spirits, knowing you’re having a good time 

when you see him, he’ll probably join in for a bit

“Better than the radio,” he’ll laugh

[creednight]

If youd like some requests how about some cute fluff with Desmond Miles (who is totally not dead. I refuse to acknowledge he died. He lived. He just took a break from the bullshit)

YASSSS! He is not dead. No way!

It’s your first christmas on the team and that being said, you wonder if they even know what day it is. All morning you go through the usual routine: physical training on your own, computer training with Rebecca and learning history with Shaun. They made no comment whatsoever about the date and you decided to play it cool in case it was an unspoken rule. 

But as you head towards your last lesson of the day, assassinations with Desmond, you can’t help but feel a little sad. Your life has been taken away and ruled by an age old war, you knew nothing would ever be the same again! It’s just, christmas is the one thing you look forward too because people gets so happy and easy going...

“(Y/N)!!” Desmond shouts. 

You come to an immediate halt before a bright and twinkling, lopsided christmas tree. Blinking away your dazed look, you glance around and up to find him leaning over a ladder staring at you with a raised brow. You return the look and circle the strange looking tree. 

“Um,” you start as you take in the bright and lively side and the ugly, empty backside. “What’s going on?”“It’s christmas!” Desmond beams, placing a crooked handmade star on the tree. “I know not everyone celebrates it, I got other stuff for the other holidays too!”

“Did you decorate this all by yourself?” you watch as he descends the ladder, places it aside and admires his work. 

He puffs up his chest at you. “Of course, look at how beautiful it is!” 

“It sure is,” you beam at the tree, feeling it lift your spirits already. You feel an arm snake around your waist and a tickle of mistletoe on your forehead as Desmond pulls you in close. “But not as beautiful as you, (Y/N).”

[elsdaydreams]

Hey! Could you please write out some modern Ezio, Desmond and Edward headcannons on when you first meet them?

Here you go! I really hope you like this! 

Ezio: 

“Oh my god, oh my god” - Ezio when he first saw you

As soon as he saw you he tried to spark up a conversation with you

He also really tried to be suave about it

he really, really just was not

but you thought it was cute and he was cute so you listened to him

and he was really bumbly and tripped over his words and repeated himself like a billion times

still you thought it was super cute and agreed to grab some coffee

Desmond:

fun fact: desmond is the type of dude who actually cannot survive without coffee

and you just so happen to work at his local coffee shop

so it was kind of meant to be?

at first you thought he was just cute 

but he’s also a really considerate dude (leaves tips, doesn’t fuss too much when the new barista gets his order wrong, probably the easiest customer to deal with)

so it’s not hard for you to like him

and he definitely does not start coming when he knows for sure you’re working

and you definitely do not have his order completely memorized

Edward: 

you met through Anne forever ago

if someone asked you probably would say you couldn’t remember how you met because he’s one of those people that honestly feels like you’ve known each other forever

but honestly it was probably at the bar you guys frequent, where you went to hang out after work

you’re both more of the quieter of your bunch of rowdy friends 

however you both easily clicked and got along and hung out in the group

but you never really hung out alone 

sans group 

don’t worry though, your friends are evil schemers so they devised a plan to get the two of you alone together ;)

[bumblina-imagines-archives]

Could you do something with Desmond from AC? Like relationship headcanons? Ty xx

Everybody’s favorite bartender!

- Pre-kidnapping I don’t see this relationship being any sort of whirlwind romance.

- Just two kids working the night shift that found love.

- However, when he’s taken, there’s a palpable shift, and all those little things that were left unsaid suddenly have weight.

- Though Des’ dad probably doesn’t like you, your loyalty doesn’t go unnoticed.

- And you were one of the last people to see him, so you were clued into what’s up.

- Cue heartfelt reunion when he’s rescued, but things won’t be the same.

- Sweetheart is gonna need all the support he can get, be prepared to play that role.

- After all, he’s trying to help save the world.

- The bleeding effect is going to make things fucking hard.

- You’ll need to be a solid rock for him (thank God Rebecca and Shaun were there for you to lean on.)

- Private moments include him resting his head against you in some way with your arms around him. In your lap, against your shoulder, on your chest, anywhere.

- There’s not a lot of talking in these moments, he just needs you to touch him.

- There’s a lot of sitting nearby while he’s in the animus, listening to him vent, and trying to help.

- With all the emotions you feel when he’s gone, there’s a sense of pride in what he sacrificed, and relief that he doesn’t have to do it anymore.

- But you’re involved now, you, unfortunately, don’t have the same luxury as him.

- Welcome to the Brotherhood.
