    Summary

    Desmond finds water in the Grey.

    Or: Desmond was supposed to be dead. Instead, an overpowered asshole dumps him in a city he doesn't recognize, in a world hundreds of years behind. Between zombies, political headaches, and whatever the hell's going on between those two big shot assassins, Desmond gives up on trying not to screw everything up.

    And oh, magic's a thing, apparently. Yay?

    Summary

    When Altair had sat down, alone in the silent and empty depths of his library, he knew that his time had come at long last. His body felt heavy, and he was so very tired. As his eyes drifted shut, he let out his final breath and greeted the oncoming dark as one would an old friend.

    Which made it even more jarring when his eyes snapped open to see a dim predawn sky.
