OHMYGOD, this is just....too good to end. I can't believe this is the 2nd to last chapter. It just keeps getting better.

And how could you make me hate Ezio? ;_; Donato nooooooo !

[rainjewel]

I'm sorry! I just try to work inside the canon, where Ezio kills pretty much everyone. I did, uh, however, circumvent that in Malfatto's case, but faking two deaths seemed a little extreme. Sorry, Donato!

Guh. The intensity of this thing, I swear.
Your balance of utter horridness and adorability is just perfect - it shouldn't work, but it does, perfectly. Loving this to pieces. ♥

[rainjewel]

Yay! I'm glad there's moments where it's completely wretched. That might be weird, but I don't care.

Thank you!

MY FRIENDS AND I ARE MORE IN LOVE WITH THIS THAN BEFORE HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. AHHH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BATTLING THE ROMANTICIZED ASSASSIN WAY.

No, seriously. There are no words to describe how nicely developed this entire thing is, especially with giving substantial and humanized flesh to the Templars.

This work is gorgeous, and you, and all those who helped you make it, have all of our love. ALL OF IT.

Thank you! Oh, you just made my week. I'm so glad you're okay with the assassins not being all noble and perfect. I love them too, but they're basically terrorists. Not exactly the kindest description, but not incorrect. SORRY EZIO.

Thank you so much for reading!

Oh God, I was going to say something about them being terrorists in my comment, but I didn't know who would be offended by that title.

BUT YES. I am so glad you tarnish their reputation a little and redeem some of the Templars! Donato bby why.

[rainjewel]

Well, the word "terrorist" is a heavily-charged term these days, but the Assassin order was essentially one of the first terrorist organizations. Granted, in AC it's a bit different -- religion doesn't factor into either side and no one is hopped up on psychedelics -- but at the end of the day it's a group of people killing political and religious authorities to invoke a political change and control society.

I know, I know, Ezio has good intentions and I feel quite affectionate towards him, but I also don't think what he's doing is acceptable. Or at least, it's no more acceptable than what the Templars do.

Hence my adoration of the first game above everything else. I love arguing the points of the Templars vs. the Assassins. Oh, I can't wait for tonight!

DONAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[rainjewel]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. He's in Heaven banging all the ladies.

I was happily drumming my fingers, thinking of how he and Donato would perhaps soon have a rekindling friendship. THEN OUT OF NO WHERE "DONATO WAS KILLED BY EZIO."

I will never feel happiness again. FUCK YOU EZIO! GO TAKE A SHIT IN A HOLE THEN DIE IN IT!!!! Why does Ezio have to kill so many people, seriously.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~!!!!!!!

[rainjewel]

Ezio does have a penchant for murdering a whole lot of folk. Oh Donato.

Thanks for reading!
