    Summary

    "Papa..." Simon said, "why does the little girl lie to King Frost? Isn't that bad?"

    "Yes, lying is very bad,” his father said, “but sometimes it is necessary. If she had complained about her discomfort, she would have offended him."

    Simon frowned. "But he was hurting her. How could it be rude for her to tell him that?"

    His father was silent for a moment, his eyes distant with thought. “Because she was being resilient.”

    "So it's okay to lie about...being in pain?”

    "Only if it keeps others from hurting, yes.”

    “Oh...” 

    That still didn’t feel right. But if his father said it, it had to be true, didn't it?

    Summary

    When Ezio arrives in Roma, he doesn’t expect someone else to burn Borgia towers before he can get his hand at it. He especially doesn’t expect that “someone else” to be two teenage brothers from Firenze who are out for chaos.
    So he introduces them to the Brotherhood, obviously.

    or

    Ezio accidentally adopts Desmond and Clay, not knowing they might be his /descendants/ sons.

    Summary

    Ezio seemingly remembers a whole life before him, a whole life after the death of his family, and tries to work out how he's going to prevent this fate. After a lifetime, though, perhaps he need not do this alone.

    Summary

    Erlang blinks many times before he finally convinces himself he’s not seeing a mirage. The mist brushes the monkey demon's face, molding a rather ghostly impression. It’s terrible just how similar they look. Erlang’s breath quickens, as if their brief confrontation was enough to tire him.

    The Destined One stares back, seeming somewhat bored but unblinking. Oh, what striking resemblance. Although the different attitude he conducts himself with makes him rather uncanny.

    “I’ve never seen one in person before,” Erlang says in awe. “They were right, you’re almost identical.”

    au where erlang sends out a clone instead of just waiting in his secret-boss mural zone, and meets the destined one earlier in his journey
    (or, as my beta reader reviewed: where erlang's diabolically down bad for like 20k words) (<reciprocated?!)

    prompt: came back wrong
