OP here! Weak ending? Nah, it left it right where it needed to be - open for future musings but also complete as a stand-alone story. Of COURSE Connor is Dea al Mon - I like that he has a healing relationship with Haytham. There's still tension, but they consider each other and their emotional triggers. And victory for Desmond - he's almost Jaenelle in this situation, making it be known that he's not to be messed with and his clan isn't to be jerked around either.

Gosh, loved it from beginning to end. You have done a fantastic job, anon, you should feel proud of what you've written. I love it and thank you again.
