[AC Syndicate] meek (Jacob x OC) 1/1*
Jan. 3rd, 2019 05:05 pmA/N Jan 2019: I really liked writing brute but had a more specific version of the main character in mind. You can find a third person (instead of second person) version of brute over on my FFnet page. Should I change the original on AO3 to be in third person, for the sake of continuity within a series? Let me know.
Also... I unabashedly borrowed the concept of supernatural modesty from His Dark Materials (the witches and how they achieve invisibility).
Title: meek
Chapter: 1/1
Pairing: Jacob Frye x OC
Word count: 2478
Rating: PG, maybe T for referenced violence but not really
Summary: Once more he relied on something besides his eyes, letting his Assassin senses pick out the figure before him. Shifting. Flickering. Fading and cutting in and out of the air itself: fascinating for how forcefully uninteresting it wanted to be. [*A reverse POV version of brute with a specified OC.]
He’d always assumed Evie was the only one who could do that. How, he wasn’t quite sure, but he wasn’t entirely concerned with it either; it was that same instinct he had - that George had, that their father had had. It was part of being an Assassin. Jacob had an innate ability to aim under pressure, his sister could just… disappear. He’d never seen anyone else do anything like it. Or not-seen it, as the case may be.
The first time he saw her do it, he wasn’t even entirely sure that that was what was happening.
