A rambunctious gang leader and an overly inquisitive writer trying to solve mysteries together? What could possibly go wrong?

A Dreadful Nuisance (One Shot, SFW, Fluff)

After several screw ups, Jacob has been temporarily forbidden to help solve any more crimes. Of course, he manages to convince Magnolia, a writer collaborating with Henry Raymond, to let him tag along for a new case. Will he be more trouble than it’s worth? Well, let’s just say Jacob is lucky she likes him.

(A/N: A JacobxReader fic, but the one that laid the groundwork for Magnolia’s character)

Knowing (One Shot, SFW, Mild!Angst)

They both always acted like they knew exactly who they were and what they wanted in life. But the truth is, do they really?

A Big Softy (One Shot, SFW, Fluff)

Who knew a big, tough gang leader had such a soft side?

Upcoming Untitled Fic Preview - #1, #2 (WIP Snippet, SFW, Fluff)

Canceled dates, too many customers, and tea shipments mysteriously disappearing...

Rain Moodboard/Snippet (Ficlet, SFW, Fluff)

“You came all this way, in this downpour, just to deliver this to me?” 

“Well, it gave me an excuse to come see you, didn’t it?”

Flower Language Moodboard/Snippet (Flclet, SFW, Fluff)

Ah, yes. The trademark bluntness of Mr. Jacob Frye. Ever the romantic.

Locked in an Abandoned Museum (WIP Snippet; SFW)

A rival dares Magnolia to spend the night in an abandoned museum...but what if she isn’t the only one in there?

Dance With Me, Mr. Frye? (One Shot, SFW, Angst, Mild!Fluff)

A simple question, but perhaps one that could ease some tension...at least for a little while...

Early Morning Snippet (WIP, Mild Suggestive Themes, Mild!Angst, Mild!Fluff)

“He knew realistically that despite the Ripper now being deceased, his memory and the effects of his reign of terror over London wasn’t going to immediately fade from the public’s recollection. But that didn’t stop the tiny, idealistic part of him that remained, even after all that had happened, to hope that he could settle back down to some level of normalcy in his life...”

“Waiting for Someone?” (SFW; Fluff)

“I Don’t Know Who I Am Without You” (SFW, Mild!Angst)

Here's a thought; Arno ravishing his mistress (or you *wink* ) in an alley while on a heist with his friends, who are only a couple feet away...

GODS.

CAN YOU IMAGINE, THO?

Just imagining Arno ravishing you, his gloved hands touching you everywhere, as he tries to kiss you to muffle your moans, insisting that if you want him to continue, you have to keep your voice down? This, of course, being damn near impossible, just because of how good he's making you feel? To say nothing of him grinding up against you while he's kissing and fondling you, so the feel of his concealed budge, made hard by the excitement of pleasuring you during a time and in a place that he SHOULDN'T BE, is only driving you even more crazy.

Then, once he makes you come, he smirks and gives you one last kiss, whispering, "This is only a prelude to what I'm going to do with you, once I get some proper free time."

You don't get a chance to respond, as he pulls away, nods in goodbye and leaves you slouching against the wall like this, while he darts away to rejoin his team:

However, the damp spot on the front of his trousers, indicating that he came, as well, doesn't go unnoticed by you, even in your post-orgasmic state, and you can't help but wonder: how's Arno gonna explain that one to his fellow Assassin Brothers, if they happen to catch that underneath Arno's long robes?

(In other words: I'LL TAKE SEVERAL HELPINGS OF THIS, PLEASE.)

So, after having another mini-heartattack this morning upon seeing my STEAM copy of Syndicate needed to be updated, I booted up the game to test it and was relieved it still worked. So, here's a quick impromptu parkour session to celebrate my game not breaking. lol (Also, because if I hear that the grappling rope made the parkour in this game completely irrelevant one more time, I'm gonna lose my shit.)

‘Even though my birthday was on the 20th of April, I would love nothing more than to extend that celebration through the rest of the month, just relaxing and making sweet and saucy love with Arno. Whether it’s nights full of tender kisses and indulging in sweet treats or nights with some hair pulling and rowdiness, it doesn’t matter, I’ll gladly have him both ways. (And I wouldn’t mind one bit if Jacob wanted to join us on some of those nights as well.)’

Belated happy birthday, dearest confessor! We hope you had a good one!

[thatcrazycrowgirl]

I’ll admit straight up, this one was mine. haha Thank you, @dirtyasscreedsecrets​ for this! <3

[thatcrazycrowgirl]

Bringing this back for today, because I need to indulge in both of my boys <3

[thatcrazycrowgirl]

It’s that time of year again! Third time bringing this back, because having an indulgent amount of time with these two is still my wish. lol

[thatcrazycrowgirl]

Fourth time, eh? Hey, it still rings true! 😁

Missed last year, but resuming the tradition of reblogging this confession for my birthday hehehehe

Faustine and the Beautiful Summer (1972)

Imagine…

Being a Blighter, and Jacob using his ‘wolf whistle’ call to tease you.

—–

You had been minding your own business, keeping an eye out for any meddling Rooks like usual, when you heard what sounded like whistling. You ignored it at first, but when you heard it again, you realized that this wasn’t just any ordinary whistling, but a very specific and familiar whistling.

“What a moment,” you muttered to yourself as you turned around, “is that-?”

You soon got your answer when a young man peeked out from behind the fence with a smirk on his handsome face.

Jacob Frye. The leader of the Rooks. You should’ve known.

This wasn’t the first time he had interacted with you. There had been many a time when he thrown you a flirtatious quip during a fist fight, or when he just happened to be running past the place you were patrolling.

You crossed your arms. “What do ya want, Frye?”

You didn’t think it was possible, but his smirk only grew. “I was just passing by. Miss me?”

“I always miss it when I don’t get the chance to smash your pretty face against the pavement,” you shot back.

Jacob was about to provoke you further, when you both heard one of your fellow gang members bellow: “it’s that Frye boy! Get ‘im!”

Jacob looked towards the burly man that was now charging at him, and his eyes lit up with excitement. “And that’s my cue to leave.” But before he did so, he turned back to you and added: “oh, and if it’s not too forward of me to say, those trousers do wonders for your backside.”

With that, he touched the brim of his paperboy cap in goodbye and winked before dashing off, leaving you standing there with your face redder than your jacket and just one thought going through your mind:

Why did he have to be so infuriatingly likable?

An additional piece of news: Ubisoft has teamed up with pianist, Nicolas Horvath, to bring you a collection of musical pieces from the Assassin's Creed games. To quote Ubisoft Music's page, "This project was imagined in parallel to the exhibition Video Games & Music taking place at the Philharmonie de Paris from April 2nd until November 1st 2026."

This video contains the full album, but you can also find it in separate track playlist form here.
