So with the tsundere!Altaïr art (au?) Desmond did the whole travel back in time thing, and his age equals Altaïr’s.

It’s suppose to be before they go after the apple in canon. Probably closer to Altaïr about to be a master.

Desmond very purposely acts like a mediocre assassin to avoid too much suspicion. Think closer to rank 11th or 12th on the worst novice list.

But because of this, when he skips out on drills or training, no one tattles on him because they would have to admit that this “hopeless excuse for a novice” was consistently outsmarting them. Instead Desmond is more like the local tomcat of Masyaf.

He could be found doing one of three things.

1. Aimlessly roaming the lower village or walls.

2. Watching birds with such an intensity that one has to wonder if he plans to eat it.

Or 3, finding a really high spot and napping in the sun.

He isn’t trusted with important missions and when paired with another brother they will complain that he rarely takes anything seriously, but somehow the missions he is on are always completed with little to no hiccups and his partners alway returns with minimal damage, if any.

Altaïr is one of the ones that gets annoyed with him the most (possibly because Desmond can and will push his buttons on purpose). He is also the one to hunt him down the most, because, unlike everyone else, his pride will not let Desmond win. He ends up seeing Kadar do a move he had never seen before during training and after asking him where he had learned it, Kadar accidentally spills that it was Desmond.

(He cannot not be blamed. Altaïr had come up and told him he did well and Kadar was on cloud nine allowing for the moment of weakness. “Oh! Well Desmond taught m-…oops”)

And she thrives.

Not at first, of course--she's scared, and angry, and incredibly confused by this brand new world she's been plunged into. But life in the Titan army isn't so different from the rigid atmosphere of military school, and since she knows that Nico, at least, is safe, it doesn't take long for her to start appreciating her newfound freedom (so to speak). Housed in the girls' barracks and put through training, she makes friends and a name for herself as a very powerful demigod. She isn't sure she's on board with overthrowing the Olympians--she can't hate her father, she doesn't even know him--but between the respect she earns and the rush of finally, finally being free to be herself, she finds it ever easier to play along.
