So I was replaying the Haytham missions the other day, and noticed again that in the sequence where Haytham finds Ziio, and goes about sneaking into the fort to find where Edward Braddock is, he wanders around in some pretty brutal weather. And because this anon always takes the shortest path to the next objective, I managed to plow through the rovers quite a number of time.

If you actually tried to swim through that water in a blizzard, especially Haytham with all his cloaks and heavy coat, well, it wouldn't turn out too well to say the least.

Anon thinks a fic where for some reason while working with Ziio Haytham is forced to swim the river in freezing weather (to escape some guards or hide?) and just manages to drag himself out/to Ziio or she finds him half-frozen. Slightly distrustful h/c ensues.
