Title: Tumble Dry Rating: PG Pairing: Altair/Malik Notes: Domestic prompt, involving laundry, but it didn't really turn out that way. Thanks to pellucere for the silly title without even really knowing what I was writing about, ahaha.
I just-- I can't even-- What-- There is so much screaming incoherently in my head right now. Just--- your writing is so-- I can't articulate myself at all.
I seriously die of happiness inside every time I see that you've updated with a fic, especially with Assassin's Creed. I know with one hundred percent certainty that no matter what you write, whether it be in the timeline or AU or anything, it will be amazing. You always get the characters in character. I know that you won't throw any character aside, or demean them, or disrespect them in any way; that you respect and love them as a fan yourself. Your writing is always bang on, too, and I always get sucked into it and it doesn't matter if I've got ten tabs open with other things I really really should be doing, or my supper's getting cold on the stove or whatever, I literally cannot stop reading until I am done. You get me to hold my breath, to squeak, to make other ridiculous noises that my family gives me weird looks for when I read your stories. You're one of the main reasons I
( ... )
Oh, gosh. I don't know what to say. I mean, I really can't thank you enough for your praise. Reading that late last night made me grin something fierce and I was going to reply right then too, but I was, like, no I am going to reply to this WONDERFUL comment when I am rested and coherent, but here I am now, acting like a derp because I am so honored that you read my things and LIKE them and it's immensely gratifying.
And, dude, it's not creepy at all. You have very good taste in other writers, hee. Endy and V are my favorites too. I can't believe you're lumping me in with them.
Thanks so much! You make me enjoy writing what I write. /HUG
Oh gosh oh gosh please I am the one who is a derp, haha. I just re-read my comment and I'm just very happy you made any sense of it! And I am honoured to be reading them! For real the 'SPLWHUMP' that Malik's robe makes when it hits him is hilarious. And Altaïr in civvies is actually a kind of weird picture in my head, because his swagger in civvies makes my head hurt and I love love love it. /finally gets around to commenting on the actual fic sorry about that
How could I not lump you all together you guys are my happy days. ;__; <3 <3 All three of you make my days so much better.
jkhsdf I'm happy it makes you enjoy writing! I just wanted you to know that there are a lot of people who love your fic but probably don't actually comment but we all love it, really. ;_____; <3 <3 <3 <3 /HUG
Also I'll probably be messaging you over on Tumblr soon about your art since I'm going to go through all the people I'm following and doing appreciation asks, haha. I just had to do this one first because apparently laundry is my breaking point.
That is a perfect title! And this is pretty much a perfect fic. *starry eyes* Altair in civilian clothes! Malik laughing at him! Scented soap! And then that kiss and Altair's foot in the basin and ♥ ♥ ♥
You write them being *human* and *complicated* and *dumb* so beautifully and I love it so much I just want to take this story out to the park and buy it an icecream cone or something, I don't even know.
I REALLY ENJOY THE THOUGHT OF ALTAIR IN CIVILIAN CLOTHING
ALSO HIM GETTING DISGRUNTLED AT THE LAUNDRESS USING ~~SCENTED SOAP SO HE DOES IT HIMSELF
gosh it's a good thing he wears civvies to do it or people who recognized him would laugh at him forever for doing women's work
also his interaction with malik is so goooood '3' the way they talk around things instead of being direct sometimes but still knowing exactly what the other means -- yes. yesssss.
ps I thought this was gonna be something set in the modern day or else I would not have given you as anachronistic a title as TUMBLE DRY :'|
I AM GLAD YOU ENJOY THE THOUGHT OF ALTAIR IN CIVVIES, BECAUSE I DO TOO. And in my headspace, Altair has this secret collection of scented soaps he uses JUST FOR HIS CIVILIAN CLOTHES because being an Assassin can get pretty gross and smelly, and I also like the thought of Altair smelling so fresh and so clean, clean. :|
Also THANKS. I am surprised you read this. Surprised but pleased and Ari, why can't I come over and throw my ps3 at you and force you to play all the games, aksdfhjas.
ps It's because Tumble Dry IS anachronistic that I liked it so much. Plus, "Hang Dry" doesn't have the same ring.
pps: I typed out Tumblr Dry so many times. The internet has ruined me forever.
Tanya, MY SISTER HAS A PS3 AND I STILL HAVEN'T PLAYED THEM ajsdfhfjdsj i am lazy and bad at games and I hate buying things ): maybe there are playthroughs on the youtubes??
also I do that too with tumblr :| all good things in the world ruined :| :|
oh no no no, don't watch the playthroughs, they would be so boring, especially for AC1, lol. I mean, I would tell you to read the books but LOL OH WAIT YOU ALREADY TRIED THAT AND IT WAS ATROCIOUS. A+ for effort though<3
and yeah. It doesn't help that the 'r' is right next to the 'e'/ >:(
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. THIS AND ALL ITS LITTLE DETAILS like the clotheslines warning and the silhouette of Altair's hair through the scarf. TEACH ME HOW TO WRITE AS VIVIDLY AS YOU.
Also these boys are always the cutest in your fics. The cutest.

Also being able to write dumb people beautifully is the skill I value the most.
And I will stand in the fic's place for a walk in the park and an ice cream cone.

Writing dumb people beautifully is the most valuable skill, particularly when it comes to these dumb boys.
*buys you all the ice cream cones*
