    Summary

    Viktor had barely settled back into his work when he heard the lab door slowly creak open.

    He froze.

    The campus should be closed at this time of night, especially on Progress Day. No one except for him, Jayce, Sky, and campus security even had access to enter this lab. He knew for certain Jayce and Sky were not returning until tomorrow morning. Sky left hours ago, mentioning she would be meeting with friends from the Undercity. Meanwhile, Jayce was representing Hextech at the afterparty Viktor declined to attend at the last minute, meeting foreign investors who were visiting for Progress Day.

    Viktor whirled around, poised to face the intruder while armed with a flat-head screwdriver as his eyes scanned every corner of the lab in search of an unwelcome visitor.

    But no one was there.

    ---

    Or, what if Viktor was in the lab when Jinx broke in on Progress Day?

    Summary

    The Isu built humans in their image—flawed, emotional, stubborn. So, perhaps it was inevitable that everything else created by their hands also picked up those same imperfections.

    The Eye was no exception to that.

    In which, the Eye has an existential crisis and Desmond tries to survive medieval Italy, which would have been easier to do if it weren’t for the goddamn wings.

    (Aka the time travel fix it/wingfic that no one asked for)

    Summary

    Formerly named ‘Guardian Angel Out Of Time’
    ----

    Desmond just watched at first.

    It had taken days to realise where he was, or rather, when he was. Desmond was half convinced he was in a coma or a long-lasting Bleeding episode at first. But it was not the Bleeding Effect, nor did Desmond seem to be in another coma.

    He was not in the Animus, but in real world Renaissance Florence.

    By the time Desmond finally seemed to snap out of his daze, he stumbled upon the Piazza della Signoria where a large crowd was gathered.

    He recognised this scene, though the last time he saw it, he had arrived on the opposite side of the piazza. The last time he had been watching through the eyes of Ezio.

    Watching the crowd move, Desmond found himself stopping a nearby woman, “Scusi, signora, but would you happen to know today's date?”

    “December 29th.”

    Desmond’s eyes were wide in disbelief. “And the year?”

    “1476.”

    December 29th, 1476.

    The day the Auditore family was executed.
    —-

    Or Desmond proves to be increasingly impulsive and Isu Tech seems to hold a grudge against him.
