    Summary

    Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.

     

    His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.

     

    In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.

    Summary

    You don't ever talk. Heck, you don't even eat. What's the point in you having a mouth at all?

    Summary

    Thistle sighed through his nose. It would have been so nice to close his eyes, to not need anything anymore. To pass away lulled by the conviction, by the lie that his king was proud of him, that he didn’t want him to feel like the villain anymore, that it was okay to finally rest.

     

    (...)

     

    “Laios Touden…” The tall-man gulped, looking unsure for the first time in that conversation, maybe wondering how he knew his name (he knew from his dragon’s memories, why he remembered them, though, was an enigma on its own).

     

    “I guess I do have one desire left.”

     

    “Oh, this is amazing, then we can start from that and–”

     

    “To see you drop dead.”

     

    (...)

     

    “Let's see who kicks the bucket first, shall we?”

     

    When Laios spills the truth about Delgal's fate to an almost dead Thistle, the elf decides that enough is enough and he can't let this slide; this, unfortunately, turns into a journey of friendship and self discovery. And what better way to make friends, than to share a meal?

    Summary

    Bal's family have opinions on Ambrosius. Two visits to Bal's childhood home: before he and Ambrosius get together, and after the wall comes down.

    ‘Okay, seriously,’ Bal says, tipping his head back against the headboard. ‘I think you’re overthinking this. I’m gonna wear a t-shirt.’

    Ambrosius sighs, arms dropping to his sides. ‘So you’re saying if I show up in this I’m gonna look overdressed?’

    ‘No, I’m saying my family absolutely couldn’t care less what you wear, and they’re gonna love you like I do whatever.’

    Ambrosius gives him a long look Bal can’t decipher—he’s been looking at him like that a lot recently, Bal thinks, but he’s not sure why—and then turns back to the closet.
