A crossover fanfic series between Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil, don't take this world away from me
is written by QueenWithABeeThrone. It retells the events of Resident Evil 4 (Remake) with the important addition of Edward Kenway to the cast, with the focus placed on his dynamic with Ada Wong and Luis Serra.
don't take this world away from me provides examples of:
- Adaptation Deviation: It's not Wesker who saves Ada in the village after she passes out, but her long-missing father Edward Kenway.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: The first fic in the series delves into this universe's version of Ada's Mysterious Past, revealing her to be Edward's adoptive youngest daughter after her Assassin parents' death.
- all lowercase letters: Each fic in the series is titled in all lowercase caps.
- Alternate Universe: Not quite for the RE cast, but Edward is from the modern-day setting in this fic.
- Crossover Relatives: Ada is a former Assassin by blood, and Edward's adoptive daughter. This causes...some complications in her mission. This also makes her Haytham's and Jenny's youngest sister as well.
- Fire-Forged Friends: Luis and Edward. By the time they meet up in the castle, they're bantering easily with each other and teaming up to take out Ganados.
- Friendship Moment: The second fic in the series ends on Luis and Edward calling each other "friend", a contrast to the beginning where Edward helps kidnap him for Saddler's purposes.
- Hive Mind: As in canon, the Plaga is this, which complicates matters for Luis and Edward in going against Los Illuminados' schemes before the start of the game.
- Related in the Adaptation: Edward turns out to be Ada's adoptive father, and in the present day still protects her whenever he can.
- Tragic Keepsake: Edward's shark-tooth necklace is passed to Ada.
- Tragic Monster: Edward. The first time we meet him is in a flashback to his first meeting with a young Ada, and it contrasts sharply with their meeting in Spain in 2004 years later, where the description of his appearance includes a scorpion-like tail.
