Okay, now we're done. Well that was a fun ride wasn't it? Final word count is 70,959 (holy fucking balls you guys). Also now that I'm done I'll be happy to answer any and all questions you may have about... well, what the fuck has been going on/happened.

Also, in case you couldn't tell, total new OTP= Des/Salai.

And just so you guys know, originally there was a much happier ending where Altair and Malik did end up together. Didn't work though; SOOOOOOOORRRRRRRY!!!
