An intimate moment between Desmond and Clay on Animus Island.

hiiii i threw this together. read my claydes short fic.

Taking some notes from this post, have some unorganized notes/idea for Clay/Desmond post-flare time travel. (I am going to assume Clay/Desmond means "Clay x Desmond" and not "Clay or Desmond")

Unorganized Notes:

Clay wants to cause chaos to screw with the Calculations, Desmond wants to save the people he cares about.

Clay’s pretty much following Desmond’s plans but he has backup plans that pretty much boils down to: “if shit goes down hard, grab Desmond and run”.

The Bleeding Effect really screwed up Clay’s psyche and sometimes, Desmond is the only thing that he thinks as real because time traveling does not help alleviate his current situation.

Renaissance Italy would be the hardest for Clay because he did relive Ezio’s life.

Clay is jealous of Desmond and Desmond’s ancestors. He’s jealous of Desmond for not being as fucked up as he is. He’s jealous of Desmond’s ancestors because he believes that Desmond cares for them more than he cares for Clay.

They started out as friends, maybe even friends with benefits. Their relationship only grew romantic as they continue to try and change the past.

It would be funny if the main plot of a Clay/Desmond time travel shenanigans is if they accidentally adopted a kid and that screws up the plot?

In the 3rd Crusades, they accidentally adopted Altaïr after Clay kidnapped him after Umar’s death and Desmond doesn’t have the heart to return him to Al Mualim.

Renaissance Italy wouldn’t be them adopting the Auditore siblings, nah, for some reason, Clay adopts Leonardo and Desmond doesn’t realize it until he realized that ‘Leo’ is short for Leonardo.

Instead of adopting Ratonhnhaké:ton, Clay and Desmond becomes coparents/uncles of Ratonhnhaké:ton after a tense talk with the Clan Mother who let them stay in the village (although they were being watched the entire time but that’s cool with them)

Desmond being the idiot who accidentally kidnaps Haytham after watching Tessa calling him a monster.

Clay adopting Arno after his father’s death because he had been in Versailles as a tourist and thinking that a traumatized child would be a good souvenir for Desmond. (That’s what he would tell Desmond anyway but Desmond knows that Charles Dorian was helping Clay with finding an Isu related thing in France and he feels responsible for his death)

Desmond and Clay not adopting the Frye twins until they get to London and, no matter how many times the twins remind them that they weren’t children, Desmond and Clay just wave it off and still call them their chaotic children.

also when I read the update 4 step by step I legit hugged my iPad.

Delsin:

would fucking PANIC oh my god, it would really fuck him up to see des like that...he's already lost reggie, he literally can't watch anyone else fall 😭😭😭

Clay:

he'd understand more than anyone how it feels to barely cling to your sanity, so he'd be sad, but not surprised, especially since he knows how using the animus so aggressively takes something fundamental out of you. he'd be able to coax des from the edge just with words because he just Gets It, and he'd kidnap des for some real peace of mind in his own way

Daniel:

I imagine daniel likes to act aloof and uncaring, but catching des in that headspace, so close to the edge of a roof would terrify him! he doesn't do well with feeling helpless and is definitely the type to tackle first, ask questions later. lots of furious, desperate yelling, shaking, what the fuck was that?! and after they'd both calmed down, he'd drag des to get some REAL sleep (under his watch) and tell William to go fuck himself and put himself in charge of des from that point on. he understands the stakes, but he can't imagine des losing his mind or offing himself is part of some Grand Plan

AAAAAAAA and thank you for the step by step feedback! <333 I'm hoping to post more, obviously, since we have SO FAR to go in the fic, but we'll see how this year treats me!
