Summary
Desmond needed a job after Bad Weather was closed down for illegal gambling on centaur races.
Yes.
It was as dumb as it sounded.
So now, here he was, applying for an in-house support (whatever that means) for an unknown training center with a centaur that, apparently, needed some assistance after an injury he sustained last year.
He guessed his blood would lead him back to the centaur racing scene sooner or later.
At the very least, in-house support meant he was supposed to fade into the background.
... right? -

Summary
Desmond was ready to sacrifice himself to save the world.
...but god, he didn't want to die.
When he activates the device in the depths of the Grand Temple, however, he finds himself hanging in a strange void, with thousands of gold threads trailing off in every direction. In desperation, Desmond starts to climb one of the threads, hoping it will help him escape his fate. Anything would be better than dying, right?
Wait. Why is he now in 15th century Florence? Why are Altaïr and Ratonhnhaké:ton here too? Is this some kind of hallucination?!
And where the hell is Ezio?!

Summary
Desmond remembered dying, screaming in pain as he burned from the inside.
It felt like an eternity spent in pain, burning again and again until...
He woke up, 'floating' in this red liquid in a world where machines and 'monsters' wish nothing more than the total annihilation of humanity.(Assassin's Creed x Punishing Gray Raven crossover that nobody asked, no prior knowledge of PGR necessary, knowledge of AC1 to AC3 a bit necessary)

A man enters the bar he works in, making Desmond's night. -

Summary
Desmond Miles wasn’t exactly in the market for a grand destiny.
He just wanted a drink, maybe a place to sleep that didn’t come with electrodes.Instead, he got the Animus, a cosmic suicide mission, a family reunion from hell, and you — which, all things considered, might’ve been the only part worth keeping.
He doesn’t talk about it much. Doesn’t talk at all, some days.
But if he did, he might admit this: that somewhere between the bloodlines and the breakdowns, between saving the world and losing himself one ancestor at a time, you were the only thing that felt like his.Not that he ever said it, of course not, would’ve ruined the mood.
_______________
Or: five times Desmond Miles swallowed the truth, and the one time he let it burn all the way through.

Wisdom So Sweet by arcanedreamer

Summary
In Chapter 20 of Initiate the Secret Histories, Desmond went and checked out some of the lore entries in London, only they're an entirely different set for him than they are for anyone else. Here are the entries. There may be spoilers for some chapters but that will be noted in the description for each chapter. I've tried to replicate the style of the in-game lore in TSW, so it shouldn't be too spoilery for future events.

Free Will is Best Enjoyed With a Familiar Face by Taylor_Nolan
Fandoms: Assassin's Creed - All Media Types

Summary
Desmond's mind has had enough, and he finds himself trapped in a strange, digital purgatory with an "old friend" who knows more about him than he’d like. To escape, all he has to do is dive into the memories of his ancestors, something he's done countless times before.
Seems simple enough. After all, there's always a way out... right?
(Or, Desmond failing to get out of the Animus Island in a few chapters.)

Summary
"Is that my hoodie?" Desmond asks, shutting the apartment door behind him.
Altaïr looks up at him from his position on the couch, curled comfortably against Malik. The hoodie he wears is faded and comfortable-looking, and it has a suspiciously familiar red inner lining.
Altaïr shrugs.
"Is it?"

Summary
It's the same story Desmond's told a million times. The Black Hills, more an idea than a place. Most people he tells it to have never even seen a forest in person.
He phrases it to make them laugh. People used to be shocked by the parts he let on — up before the sun, no unhealthy food, parents teaching him about their made-up shadow war — so he stopped making it a big deal. It sucks to be a downer.

Summary
Desmond was born in Babylonia, the only remaining space station to house what remains of humanity (or so they like to say) after the Earth was ravaged by the Punishing Virus, killing humans and corrupting machines to desire for humanity’s downfall. He never had any loyalty to humanity’s cause of reclaiming Earth and he thought he left that all behind when he left the Commandant Training Program William Miles enrolled him in without even talking to him first.
But now… William Miles is dead and the World Government was promising him a life of comfort and safety.
… if he accompanied a small task force to check the abandoned research satellite of his late mother.(Based on Punishing Gray Raven but no prior knowledge of the game necessary)

Summary
Desmond expected to die when he activated the device to save the world.
What he did not expect was to wake up in the year 1978, being cared by the people of Smith’s Grove Sanitarium.
He also wasn’t expecting to meet a quiet man all alone in the restricted section on his walk. He figured it wouldn’t hurt to talk to the man.
What was the worst that could happen? -
