Young couple wearing costumes from the villages of Márides - Galazovrákides (Blue Underpants) in Evros.

The woman is wearing a costume from Asvestádes, with a light blue dress and an apron made of purchased fabrics, which in some villages was called a zambratsa (Koufóvouno, Asvestádes, Vrysiká, Aspronéri). The zambratsa would be worn on formal occasions over the woven apron. On her head she wears a yellow crocheted barboúla, which in other villages was called a sakénia or plimaténia. On weekdays she would wear a woolen woven belt and on formal occasions the silver belt.

In the summer, men would remove the black woolen siali from their heads, as well as the black woolen trousers, and would remain in the blue underpants and a blue headdress on their heads, on which they would place a beaded men's ornament (patará). A black vest, a white shirt, a black belt, and on their feet the black tsaruhia or, on formal days, laced shoes were all essential.

These are only for romantic pairings, not platonic.

F.A.Q.

Alright, you got me there. Let’s give Desmond a DILF an MILF package in one.

In a modern-day setting:

Desmond is the babysitter. Maybe he’s doing this as a part-time gig whenever he doesn’t have a shift in Bad Weather. Maybe he’s a working college student who does this and dogwalking (it would be funny if he’s the dogwalker for Rodrigo Borgia and Giovanni, Cesare, Lucrezia, Gioffre are all his super high-maintenance dogs). Either way, Federico and Ezio are super young and he babysits them whenever Giovanni and Maria have a datenight.

Ezio is an adorable little boy who definitely has said ‘When I grow up, Imma marry you, Desmond!” at least twice. Federico is the little troublemaker who gets Ezio into trouble.

They both love having Desmond over.

Desmond ends up sleeping with both of them after they returned from their date night and the kids are in bed. They got Desmond to stay the night because they returned super late, and suggested they have (decaf) coffee or tea first before they get some sleep. Ends up waking in the middle of an Auditore cuddle.

Desmond has no idea how the fuck he ended up sleeping with them but he ain’t complaining.

It happened again.

And again.

At some point, Desmond realizes his clothes are all in the Auditore home and he goes there after his shift in Bad Weather. (he has a key by this point)

Ends up sleeping with Giovanni and Maria once more and…

A few weeks later, Desmond is just living in the house.

The kids are absolutely happy, of course, and Desmond starts more or less coparenting them as well as helping out in the house.

To those who don’t know the Auditores well, Desmond is the inhouse nanny.

To anyone who knows them, he’s definitely the Auditore couple’s lover and, if you want Giovanni or Maria Auditore on your side, you have a better chance if you get Desmond in your corner.

When Claudia was born, no one is sure who the actual father is and no one cares.

……… Giovanni definitely had dealings with William Miles. Bill does not approve of his son’s choices but no one cares what he thinks anyway.

Canon Setting:

Maria would be the one to notice Desmond first. Not because he was being sneaky or anything. No. He just… has a pretty face.

This is the woman who saw Leonardo da Vinci’s talent and became a repeat customer. She has a good eye for pretty things and Desmond is an absolute find.

Desmond also has no resistance for Maria and he just assumes she wants to talk.

Nope.

She brings him to Giovanni and, before Desmond understands that he had been led to a very pleasurable delicious trap, he’s already waking up in Giovanni and Maria’s bed with marks all over his body.

What the fuck.

Still reeling from that mindblowing night he had, he bumps into Federico and Ezio playing.

Seeing baby Ezio grinning (with missing tooth) at him and asking him to play with them?

The next time Maria sees him, he’s playing with her children.

He stays for dinner and ends up in their marital bed. Again.

He tries to leave.

Ezio and Federico begs him to play with them once more.

He stays and gets fucked again.

It repeats so many times that the servants just assumes he’s staying regardless and Desmond just… stays.

At some point, there will probably be a serious talk between the three and there’s going to be a bit of conflict because Desmond does have the habits and skills of an Assassin.

But, for now?

Desmond is just living his life as the Auditore couple’s mysterious lover and their children’s favorite playmate.

Strangely enough… Petruccio doesn’t have a weak body in this verse. Huh. Curious…

Whatever setting you choose:

Maria is the top-est of the three with Desmond being the bottom-est.

There’s pegging involved and praise kinks for everyone.

Body worship for Desmond.

Both Desmond and Giovanni get lots of ‘good boy’ and ‘my precious boys’ from Maria.

Maria and Giovanni also like to tease and spoil Desmond until he’s all loose limbs and head empty.

The Giovanni/Maria/Desmond idea this is a part of.

Okay, but what if the ‘exageration’ had been deliberate.

What if this happens after the Auditore siblings learned the truth and Claudia and Ezio did run away to be Desmond’s acolytes (forming the trio of chaos with Machiavelli)?

What if Desmond wasn’t seriously wounded but he did have a fever afterwards that forced him to be ‘bedridden’ until everyone is certain he’s okay.

And Ezio hatched a plan with Federico because both of them wanted their family to be whole again. (Claudia wants it too but, at the same time, she’s still angry at Giovanni and Maria for keeping the truth about her papa a secret so Ezio didn’t tell her anything.)

So Federico exagerates what happened when he reported to Giovanni and that got the entire Auditore family (even Petruccio) rushing to Rome.

And then when Giovanni and Maria got to Desmond’s room to check up on him, they find Decsmond cuffed to the bed then the door slam shut behind them.

They’d transferred Desmond into one of the most secured rooms and Ezio had double-checked to make sure Desmond couldn’t find a way to get out.

Then they barred the doors by actually nailing pieces of woods over it just to make sure Desmond can’t lockpick it open.

Now… their parents have no other choice but to finally talk to one another.

Ezio: We’ll check up on them tomorrow.

Federico: Tomorrow? What about food?

Ezio: (trying to pretend he just didn’t know he forgot something reaaalllyy important)…… Papa told us humans can survive without food for days.

Federico: That’s torture!

Machiavelli: … I left a box of fruits and wine next to the bed.

Ezio: How’d you…

Hahahaha. Happy to be of service. XD
