Hi tee! Hope you're having a good day! It's the toxic AltDes a/b/o nonny and*hands you my kidneys* AAAAHH I LOVE IT!! it wasn't as toxic but it was great nonetheless!!!
OKOK so I just had another idea.
Omega Desmond and Alpha Maria.
I have no idea how this idea came to be but it did LOL
So this is gonna be a Maria x Desmond pairing, idk it just sounds so interesting.
In this au women are still treated like shit, so that Maria's story would still fit canon (I love Maria's lore) but omegas are also treated like shit. Of course
You can do the entire Desmond Time Travels Back In Time™ and let him meet Maria or you can make him be born in that time, whatever you see fit!
And Maria absolutely tops :>
Let’s go with Desmond being born there for this one.
Desmond would be the omega twin of the alpha Altaïr who remained in Paradise where it’s supposed to be safe.
In reality, he’s kept in Paradise to keep Altaïr in check. With Al Mualim being their guardian, there’s actually been talk of him becoming Abbas’ omega to ‘strengthen the bonds’ between Altaïr and Abbas, whatever the fuck that means.
Desmond knows that’s bullshit and Al Mualim keeps dangling him over to Abbas to keep Altaïr on the line and Abbas loyal to him because, for some reason, Abbas actually likes him.
Desmond usually spends his time trying to sneak out of Paradise to talk to Altaïr or to his brother’s beta best friend Kadar. (Or Kadar could also be an omega in Paradise that follows Desmond around because they’re BFF and he has a hhuuggeeee crush on Altaïr, depends if you wanna add a side serving of Altaïr x Kadar for this one XD)
Desmond spent most of his life sneaking in and out of Paradise, even donning the robes of an Assassin to blend in (he has to rub sooooo many scent covering herbs to make it harder for people to realize that he’s an omega) and Altaïr is a horrible enabler who teaches him whatever he learned, be it for stealth or for slitting a guy’s throat.
He would help Altaïr take out Al Mualim when Al Mualim tried to hypnotize him using the Apple (they both learned that Desmond is immune to the Apple that day) but he stayed behind when Altaïr went to Acre because…
Well…
No one expected Altaïr to go straight to Cyprus after that mission.
In this one, Altaïr returned with Maria immediately after Acre because, while Altaïr does want to join Maria on her journey eastward, he wants his twin to join them as well. Maria agreed to it after hearing how Desmond had never stepped outside of Masyaf at all and she honestly had this demure soft-spoken omega image of Desmond because Altaïr describes him as the kindest sweetest person in the entire world.
(If Malik ever heard Altaïr describe Desmond like that, he’d have reminded Altaïr that his supposed ‘kindest sweetest’ twin have made three Assassins beg for mercy when they were just a tad too touchy and Desmond was just a teenager back then)
And now we have the perfect slowburn ‘roadtrip’ idea for Desmond and Maria… with big brother Altaïr having to suffer through their blossoming love.
