Basically, what would be interesting is Haytham and the templars as a tightly-knit group of classics students at a small, isolated university who slowly start forming a secret society, and inadvertently kill a local man and try and cover it up.
Thing is, one of them, possibly Pitcairn, starts threatening to go to the police to confess, so that the rest of them decide that they have no choice but to arrange his death to keep their secret and make it look like an accident. (Haytham first brings up the idea in desperation, but Charles is willing to do anything to protect Haytham, and starts putting together a plan. Johnson has qualms, but convinces himself that they have no other choice. Hickey just shrugs and says, sure, if Johnson's going along with it.) When Pitcairn's death starts being investigated, though, things start going even more to shit and there's guilt and remorse and tension, and the group starts to fall apart.
Basically: give me the templars being students with unhealthily intense relationships being slightly morally bankrupt and making bad decisions.
Templar university AU (only with more murder?)
