Bedtime on the Morrigan

I like the thought that Haytham prefers to stay in the captain's quarters and/or Shay invites him to stay in the captain's quarters ("because he's the Grand Master" and all that), but there's only one bed! They like each other, so they don't mind this arrangement. Maybe except for all the times Gist accidentally walks in, lmao (Shaytham doodles part 2/?)

father figures

I was thinking about how many father figures Connor would have if Haytham ended up joining sides and lived (and if his good friend Holden survived too) lmao. In an "everyone lives au", Connor would have so many dads. Haytham's got me in the what-ifs...man

alone together

𝕬𝖙 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 1

Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass echoed...

From behind their house...

Dasima was startled, while Jack held her tightly as if shielding her from harm.

The question was, who dared to shatter the back window, and who was the intruder?

𝕬𝖙 12.50𝖆𝖒...

Jack remained on high alert, refusing to let go of Dasima. He strained his ears, listening for any sign of the intruder creeping toward the bedroom. As for Dasima? She was still clinging to her soldier husband, but for reasons known only to this artist descended from Raden Saleh, she decided to go check it out herself. Naturally, this sent Jack into a mix of panic and anger—because honestly, what husband wouldn't be furious?

"Sweetheart, where are you going?!"

Ignoring Jack’s question, Dasima headed straight downstairs. Refusing to let his wife act recklessly, Jack followed right behind her. He couldn't afford to take any chances, not when her safety—or worse—was on the line.

𝕬𝖙 𝖎𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖗𝖔𝖔𝖒...

Standing in the living room, armed only with a flashlight Jack had given her during a camping trip, Dasima swept the area, searching for any useful clues. But as she stepped toward the kitchen...

SCHLUP!

"!?"

The intruder drove a blade into Dasima's neck, striking right where her vocal cords were. Dasima tried to open her mouth, desperate to catch a breath and call out to Jack. But all she felt was blood pouring endlessly from her throat. Jack burst into the room just in time to witness the stabbing. Consumed by rage, he lunged at the intruder, overpowering them in a frenzy of blows. Leaving the attacker reeling, Jack rushed over to catch Dasima, who was collapsing from sheer blood loss and weakness. Driven by the commotion made by the intruder and Jack, neighbours quickly swarmed into the house, and someone called the police.

Jack pressed the fabric of his pyjama shirt against her neck, trying desperately to stem the bleeding. Dasima tried to speak, forcing out whatever sound she could, but no words came.

"Khh... Khh..."

"Sima, please, keep your eyes open! The ambulance is coming. Just hang on a little longer, please!"

"J-J-Jackie..."

"I'm right here, sweetheart. Your Jackie is right here..." Jack stammered, trembling as tears threatened to spill. He had never been this terrified, never in his entire life. He held her close, keeping her cradled in his lap while keeping firm pressure on her wound.

𝕬 𝖋𝖊𝖜 𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖚𝖙𝖊𝖘 𝖑𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖗, 𝖆𝖙 𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖙𝖆𝖑...

At the hospital, Jack prayed desperately for his wife's survival. The stabbing felt like a nightmare he never could have anticipated; watching it unfold right before his eyes left him nauseous and shaken to his core. To Jack, there was no trauma more agonising than seeing the person he loved most stabbed by someone neither of them even recognised. The intruder had been wearing a black mask, leaving them completely in the dark about who had broken into their home and severed Dasima's vocal cords.

"Who was that intruder? What do they want from us? Is it an old contact of mine? No... that doesn't seem right. Could Dasima have enemies online...? I have to find out who did this—who's pulling the strings behind the break-in and the attack on Dasima—and I need to do it now!"
