Sometimes you just might have to die to live again. ***** When art historian Reine Baldwin meets Gabe Moran, a charming journalist, she has no idea their blossoming love will shatter her comfortable life. But a series of clues lead Reine to discover that she's not alone in knowing that she was born centuries ago and-worse yet-there are many things she apparently doesn't even remember. 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]]

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!

Each night, Princess Élodie escapes the suffocating walls of the palace disguised beneath the veil and plain dress of a maid. Beyond the reach of watchful nobles and whispered expectations, she meets a stranger in the moonlit gardens, a man whose laughter feels more honest than anything within the royal court. Laurent knows her only as a veiled servant girl. Élodie knows him only as a man who sees her as something more than a future queen. But the illusion cannot last forever. For Laurent is the court's jester, hidden behind painted smiles and mocking bells, while the woman he has fallen for is the very Princess seated above him at court. Even after the truth is unveiled, neither can abandon the dangerous bond forged between them in secret.
