Rarity never wanted much. To find success with her fashion career, perhaps. To live a peaceful life with her friends, definitely.
But this? Rarity never wanted this, that's for sure.
Cast into an unfamiliar world, and with the help of a few strange allies, Rarity finds herself on an adventure spanning almost an entire century, as she uncovers more about the curious yet dangerous new world she now finds herself in, while searching for a way to return to Equestria.
A crossover with Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
Diverges from canon before Rainbow Rocks takes place.

Chapters (5)
Do I need Assassin's Creed context to be able to read this and know what's going on?
Instantly liked and favorited after reading the description... Then read it. Then I liked and favori- oh wait.
Well, you have my attention here. I've always been a fan of Assassin's Creed so I'm willing to give this a chance.
4258051 For the most part, yes, though I won't be heavily reliant on plot points from the games.
well, i haven't finished AC III yet, let alone black flag. but I'll read this when i finish them
4259311
Ah, well I shall try and follow it anyway. I can usually follow a crossover story without already having context as long as the arthur provides the helpful context. Huh, that sentence sounds weird.
Well you get the idear.
Black Flag is my favorite Assassin's creed game, and I'm going to love seeing how this crossover goes!
4259311 so... rarity will influence both edward and his grandson?
and she somehow is imortal? or just time travel?
guess work here.
So far this is looking really awesome, I actually really enjoy this dynamic. I even went so far as to throw together a really quick piece of art for it as well.

Consider me very interested.
4260564 Shit, thanks for that art! Leagues ahead of my shoddy PhotoShop skills. New cover art, here we go!
4260325 All I'm going to say is that the First Civilization experimented with all sorts of things.
4260779 Then I'll be watching.
*muhahahahaha*
This... Is... GREAT!
Here I was, wandering on the net,
When a certain name, did my eyes set,
As I read the title and bio with bliss,
I thought, HOLY F**K! I NEED TO READ THIS!!!!!!
All honesty though, I have a passion for assassin's creed, and I absolutely love the way you write so it was a matchmake in heaven.
Keep it up! Want to see more!
4260764 Haha, thank you. I'm honoured.
*wiggles* I wanna read this, so much, but, I haven't played black flag yet, and, their's bound to be spoilers.
Never played Assassins Greed and never intend to but damn, Imma going to watch this!
Cause, Rarity in a human body, on a pirate ship whose captain is an assassine at the same time? This gonna be good!
4261746 It takes place during the game's storyline, so there won't be any major spoilers, but there will be a few.
However, it will eventually contain major spoilers for AC3.
4261856 Thanks for the watch all the same! Glad you enjoy.
OH HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
Oh hey look, a video game crossover. Is it metal gear?
Intrested will put it on the RL list until you got more chaps out.
If I'm still reading after 10 chaps you get a like.
If I'm still reading after 15 you get fave.
4260564 If that's quick... well, you got talent, no question about that.
4261946 That's ok for 3, I have and finished it, it's black flag I haven't played at all. I do have this on my read later list, so, I'll probably come back to it at some point.
4260911
Hmm...Well my friend, 
let's see where this goes.
4263174 Very well.
Hmmm interesting...going to have to fave this since it caught my eye. anyway I also have an assassins creed fanfic, if you ever get the chance read it, tell me what you think, its good. real good! haven't updated yet but I will when I have the chance.
Saw this and was like 'hmmm…K I'll put it in read later' then I saw who wrote it and was like 'Oh is gherkin. He's good at AC crossovers. Fave!'
the Mirror was actually a First Civilization entertainment system, which one could step into and experience a new reality by subscription to channels like the WorldHub.
back into style?
we'll rant and we'll roar, like true pony sailors
Rarity, " I'm not ranting I'm complaining"
Umm when's next chapter?
Then Rarity summons 14 crystal blades, impales and cuts open the spanish soldiers and finish the fight within seconds leaving Edward in shock...
Sorry, just stole the idea from a story I read.
Anyway, good chapter, looking forward to more.
For some reason, the chapter title reminds me of Running in the (Seventeen-)Nineties.
End this quote with a question mark. "She" will remain lowercase. (
I'm struck by a sudden sense of irony...)
yes Rarity what have you gotten yourself into.
gonna be fun to read her reaction finding out that Edward is an pirate/assassin and maybe (i hope) she will be trained to be an assassin
Oooooooh this is a good story. Maybe because i haven't played black flag at all.

You should, it's pretty good!
----
I humbly request more, sir! MORE!
Hooray! Update
4857663 Don't be ungrateful about updates. Writing well actually takes time, not to mention the fact that life absolutely loves getting in the way of allowing that. Sometimes it fucks us enough that we lose interest in a story, so be glad that hasn't happened here.
4857933 Whops guess I wasn't thinking straight in my first comment. Yeah I would agree with you, and I have the capabilities to become patient. But, sometimes, the devil will just make us impatient of the story not being updated.
Again, if anybody is offended by my first comment, I apologize for that mistake. I PINKIE PROMISE not to that again.
4857933 As I said(again), I apologize for it. It seems my inner devil(book lover) had taken over my thinking ability. Should have seen that coming, but the devil said the 'fuck off' thing :P. Again, I apologize for the mistake.
(I forgot my only BLOODY rule when commenting: Don't comment unless it's for saying any good things)
I don't really see how Rarity will survive if you make her being... defenseless... Those rare moments in the show does show her to have at least some combat skill or potential (because you don't just flying kick people away from TOM)... I hope to see it...
And...thefrontloader.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/359582.jpg

I see her having Nathan Drake's attitude, or something similar. After being put in danger enough times and having the time call for it, she will royally start kicking ass on her own. She just prefers things to not devolve into that if she could help it.
4860584 I guess so...
Maybe something like this, maybe not.

4861828
Quite possibly. After all she's not your everyday defenseless damsel in distress.
4863624 Eeyup
And something with some what strong beat for our damsel in combat...
4864099
I am liking this Baroque Nightmare
4864119 Heh...it is a nice piece.
Just found this:

Rarity the Sky Pirate?
I'd read that.
4864172 It is indeed awsome but I haven't seen anyone done that...
4864172 Also, this
4864183
Someone should.
Someone reeeeeeeeaalllyy should.
Also I've seen that
A few others as well, forgotten the games but more like those.
