BEST ENDING EVER! I'm in the same spot as you were right now. I NEED to keep reading about AC but most of the fics here have the classic Mary-Sue or the main character completely OOC. This was my savior. I was starting to lose hope that I would find anything worth reading. I'm so happy I found this! The writing was wonderful and descriptive and not revealing you the assassin was was a nice and smart touch on your part. Keep writing!

I didn't know about assassin creed till I read your fic, now I bought it to my sweet 7 year old nephew, I play in his house every time I go (which is almost everyday because I love to play it, muahahaha). You see what you did to me!

As I was reading this I was surprised to find just how absorbed I was, I mean literally glued to the screen. I think you deserve a "well done" for that. :) And thank you for capturing the nuance of Altair's character so admirably. I think people tend to over simplify him as "arrogant jerk" when he is really quite complex. Lastly, I know everyone has said this, but Altair's final words really drive the story home, and I felt every emotion left unsaid.

Brilliantly written. I loved it. *sniffs* I even shed a couple of tears for the dead mother/sister.

I'm a new fan of Assassin's Creed. Whenever I pick up a new fandom, I like to pay FFN a visit and see what its fanfics are like. With a few exceptions, the majority of Assassin's Creed fics I've seen here haven't interested me that much...most of them being formulaic Altair/OC fics, or self-inserts sucked into the world of the game.
You, dear, have managed to stand above the mediocrity. This fic is very original and creative, but doesn't deviate from the feel of the game in any way (like some, who defy it by introducing female OC's as assassins despite the male-denominated society, and other inaccuracies like that). I admit, I questioned at first whether Altair would really go out of his way to save a child...but his response to the woman's question in the end totally justified it. I also liked when he was unsure of how to deal with holding a baby. It was funny to me, considering he obviously must father children at some point or else Desmond wouldn't exist. :P
The one thing I am compelled to mention is, you didn't mention which city this is happening in...thought maybe that was intentional, so the audience could use their imagination to immerse themselves in the scene any way they want. I imagined it was in Acre.

*looks away* excuse me I have something in my eye *wipes* that was great.

great chapter! keep writing!

That's so sad. It made me cry...but in a good way. Glad that some assassins have a LITTLE ITSY BITSY bit of decency in them. My friend disagrees. I will show this story to her; you have helped me more than you know. Thanks a bunch!

VERY nice!

I hadn't thought I'd ever see some good AC ficcage! :D

Oh my...that was awsome. One of the best one-shots I've ever read. :D

I love this story too. I like the idea.
Something else: Your HORSE is so cute. I guess Tucker is a lot taller than mine... hm what a weird thought. I think you like your horsie am I right? And don't worry he's a lot cleaner than mine.

So wonderful!
I liked Altair's awkwardness with the baby... but his parting words were the best. :)

I greatly enjoyed reading this story; you have a wonderful writing style and I believe the grammar is brilliant (although I am not expert). I look forward to any future works you may have in progress.

That was kinda sad...the end was strong. Anyway thats a nice oneshot.

those last two words are incredible... it's so powerful.

a job well done, and good job building up to them!
