If you're okay with angst, alcohol, and PTSD (according to the tags), why not this fill on AO3? http://archiveofourown.org/works/3364385/chapters/7358210
(Tangent: Not an art fill in not being Shaytham, but do I really need an excuse to post "Templar model opera"? http://sunsetagain.deviantart.com/art/Templar-s-model-opera-495705947 )
This isn't to say that we've all (entirely) parted ways, but I think a lot of us realized that we were very much into a greatly different direction than Ubisoft took the series (see the most recent comment thread in Discussion! Come join us for cookies! http://asscreedkinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/1339.html?thread=12319803#cmt12319803 )... plus for me personally, Brotherhood felt like the last game where the Assassins got to actually have a (however-long) lasting win, and every other game since was about forestalling the eventual Templars-globally-dominant situation of 2014.
As for Rogue... for me ironically Haytham was the biggest downer about it (besides the seeming mechanical retread of Black Flag) if only because his presence cemented the belief that AC3 had always been meant to be Haytham's story in the writers' hearts (there's no other way that I interpret the existence of Forsaken) and Connor was just treated as an inconvenience to be written around and then subsequently relegate to cursory mentions... despite Connor basically being the only "Assassin at heart" since Ezio.
Oh wait, Ubisoft doesn't seem to like to write those, even when they try to write Arno as Ezio 2.0 but just ended up with Straight White Dude #4...
Mostly complaining about AC but with fill links
