So I’ve been reading a bunch of AssCreed college AU fic recently and I'm actually honestly surprised I haven't come across this yet.

Why hasn't anyone done a modern college AU where the assassins are all part of an Assassin's Guild? IE: that that assassin game which is basically like a modified version of tag. You know, where you get a group of college students give them a bunch of “targets”and when you “kill” a target you take their targets until there's only one person left standing. I’m pretty sure there’s other variations as well. But like you take down a target by either hitting them with an nerf gun or bopping them with a cardboard tube. Or maybe hitting them with water like with squirt guns or water balloons or something like that.
I think there's all different kinds of versions.

Surely you could do something where the assassins in the modern day you all know each other because they took part in one big game of assassin and decided it was fun and made their own Guild and had various different versions they play all throughout college.

Like I imagine Altaïr is very determined with his targets and he's great in methodically working down a list.

And Ezio would probably be good with multiple weapons and overwhelming an enemy like that, as well as possibly making alliances with other people.

And Connor will be great jumping out from down from a tree in or out form bush and springing on his target that way.

I’m not sure about the other assassins but I feel like Evie and Jacob are unstoppable when they team up but are thankfully quite happy to go after each other.

I had the idea that Desmond might not good as the others taking out targets but the first time he was last victim standing he managed to evade assassination for like 9 weeks and after that they decided to put a time limit on how long one game can go on for.

And, of course, all of them are good at parkour.

I also had an idea that they ware white because the have a game were they each have a washable marker and score points off how many marks they can give each other. Their version of the hidden blade perhaps?
I was thinking black for Altaïr because he picked his first. Red for Ezio because, well, that's his colour. Blue for Connor for the same reason. Yellow/gold for Desmond because of the pieces of Edan. Purple for Arno because blue & red were taken and you can't have white. Maybe light green for Jacob & dark green for Evie just because they're one the most common colours in a marker pack that come in light & dark variations. Though I guess Shay would have had green before he dropped out to concentrate on his studies/join the Templars. I'm running out of colours & proper reasons for people to pick them, maybe Aveline got pink and Bayek got stuck with Brown? um, I have no idea of any of the others.

And, of course, the Templars are probably a frat because that seems to be the standard for collage AU’s. Either that or their all part of the MedRenSoc (medieval renaissance society) and their got in a feud for some reason. Maybe due to the fact they don’t feel like the Assassins are a proper club. Or maybe due to a fundraising event or something.

Anyway, I thought it would make for an interesting AU, maybe a one shot or something.
