THIS. This, a hundred times over. I could very easily see the Brotherhood turning out to be no good because I also got a fishy feeling from William's emails. In one of them he seemed okay but then in another he sounded like Vidic: Just get the job done, use Desmond for what we need, and return to base. I didn't like that at all.

I love how you handled this possibility and I thought the introduction of a third ancestor to be a nice surprise, even if there's just a hint of him at the end. Very well done, writer!anon! I won't mention the dreaded 's' word, but I will say I enjoyed this enough to continue reading your work, if you were to post more. School comes first, of course. ;D
