The Role of Women in Society in the 20th Century by Salvatore Ferrazzani

Bullying a Dragon: When Desmond's fighting skills become known on any of the ships where he's seen close action, his shipmates immediately start distrusting him and making remarks that compare him to a demon or the devil, which leave him isolated and with no friends or anybody to talk to- his narration makes it clear that he's not too happy about it.The gossipers among his comrades even acknowledge this when he says he's a little bored with all the lack of fighting on the Allegiance, and they respond, only somewhat joking, that the devil craves blood. Blood Knight: Desmond kills a lot of people in this story, and without remorse when they're slavers or attacking the ship he's on.Hooray! However, his manifestation of the ability also makes him The Empath, which causes him to immediately pick up on the pain, sickness, and suffering of those around him whenever he turns it on. Blessed with Suck: Thanks to his two Assassin ancestors, Laurence develops Eagle Vision that manifests to show him his dragon is gravely ill, and which helps him locate the cure.The Chinese call the ability the Dragon's Eye, and they believe it limited to the Imperial family and dragons, which gets Desmond into hot water when they notice him using it during the Fleur-de-Nuit attack. Aura Vision: Eagle Vision, originating from Assassin's Creed, becomes a major plot point in this story.Asleep for Days: After Desmond kills the sea serpent with a too-high Leap of Faith and breaks his legs, the ship surgeon doses him with laudanum and he spends three full days drifting in and out of consciousness in a drugged haze.As he takes to exploring and studying this new world he finds himself in, trying to piece together the roles of the Assassins and Templars in this new world with dragons, various parties begin taking an interest in his Eagle Vision, and Desmond quickly finds himself embroiled in more than he bargained for. He winds up becoming a sailor who makes his way across the Atlantic to Britain, and eventually aboard the Allegiance where he crosses paths with Captain William Laurence, his dragon, and the Chinese delegation seeking to separate the two. It is narrated and led by Desmond Miles, protagonist of the Assassin's Creed series, and picks up shortly after the events of Assassin's Creed III with Desmond finding himself in the alternate universe version of Boston from the Temeraire series. The fic currently sits at ten chapters and was last updated in late March of 2019.
