Reine has to face a forgotten past and a forgotten ex-husband (the handsome billionaire Max Baldovini), who-like her-is immortal and cannot truly die. Should she trade her ordinary life with Gabe for the love of Max, a man who's worshipped her for half a millennium? The choice should be easy, until Reine starts to remember things that Max is desperate to make her forget. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

(note: Story cover has been updated May 2023 :) New chapter covers will be added slowly too) Catherine Wolfe didn't know why she was chosen, or if she was at all. She only knew she'd been pulled through time to help a family involved in a war she'd never thought to exist, and that it was her only way back home. What she didn't expect, though, was the young man with whom her fate became inexplicably entwined. Ezio/OC Slow burn -- #1 in assassin's creed, #6 Ezioauditore 12/15/2019!!! I've been a fan of Assassin's Creed for a long time (not quite as long as Transformers), and I've always loved Ezio's games. I actually had this idea for a long time, but my previous Transformers fanfic and school took up all my time. Thanks to a friend, though, I have my inspiration, and expect this story to go places. For those who've read my other story, you're going to recognize the OC, and you've found me out: she's my go-to gall. I love using her in my fandoms, so if you enjoyed watching her grow in her first fic, I guarantee you'll love watching her in this one, too.  This time around, though, she's facing something perhaps far more dangerous. Whether or not she makes it... well, only time will tell and you'll have to keep reading her newest adventure to find out! As usual, if you see any mistakes, please let me know! Editing is never 100% full proof, so I appreciate the help. And don't be afraid to comment or share your opinion! I love hearing from you all and will do my best to reply to all your comments. :) Updates will be whenever I finish a new chapter, so hopefully on a weekly bases! And with that all said, enjoy Assassin's Creed: Chronos!

Ellerie Beckett, a loved-by-all teenager, was born into aristocracy and bound by the walls of courtship and societal views. Anselm Kruger wasn't very impressed by the miraculous comments people speak of Ms. Beckett, and was more than eager to show everyone that societal viewpoints are just false hopes for young girls. In his eyes, Ellerie was just another girl playing dress-up to fit in. In her eyes, Anselm was an obnoxious, arrogant idiot that swears upon making others feel horrible so he can have his satisfaction. The two soon learn that not everything in their small world of ballrooms and tea parties is elegant. There are societal issues that begin to formulate outside of aristocracy, but if people of power choose to ignore these issues, how could they possibly be solved? Join Ms. Beckett and Mr. Kruger as they fight to live past the sunrise, all while attempting to withstand each other's differing personalities.
