Summary
“What are vampires anyway?”
My mother tensed, face hardening.
“Vampires are dark creatures.” My father said carefully. “They are evil.”
“But I’m a vampire?” I asked.
“Basil,” my mother snapped. “You cannot say that. What if someone were to hear you? No one can know. Vampires are evil and bad. Do you understand that, Basil?”
“Am I?” I asked.
“Are you what?”
“Evil and bad.”
“If you act like a vampire, yes. Now go play outside.”

Summary
There were many such stories, he had read, where a fisherman would fall in love with a selkie and take her coat so she would forever remain a human. They would marry, then, and likely have children.
"A happy ending," his mother had said with a soft smile, reading to him by his bedside, and quietly snuffed the candle out to tuck him in.
What a cruel thing, he had always thought. To fall in love with something so beautiful and different, only to trap it in a world where it doesn't belong.

Bookmarker's Notes
Please read this wow there’s mystery, political intrigue, monster biology and symbolism, and incredible Laios and Kabru characterization and backstory stuff! Very thorough food descriptions and speculative magic lore which expand the world in fun ways. Everything I want from post-canon stories!
It starts with platonic intimacy and is very slow with anything explicitly romantic because they are both in denial. Their weird dreams get a little freaky but nothing too graphic.

Summary
The day is saved. The demon is defeated, the kingdom is returned, and a new king is crowned. It’s the perfect ending to a tale of heroes and adventure… But Laios and his friends have never fit particularly well into storybook molds.
Left with a hundred questions still to answer about the future, and amidst growing concerns about forces that would be all too happy to take that future away, they make their way as they always have: by holding fast to each other and figuring the rest out as they go.

What Can I Do For You / That No One Else Can Do? by DesdemonaKaylose

Summary
It's excruciating to want something you can't have. But Kabru desperately, desperately wants to be liked by a man who doesn't particularly seem to need or want anyone.
Friendship is a kind of falling in love, only harder, because no one knows how to do it.

Bookmarker's Notes
The exact kind of post-canon relationship that I want out of Labru where they are initially awkward and talk past each other because of the narrative foils of it all but ultimately find common ground and make each other weirder in the best way possible. I want to be a fly on the wall listening to the two of them talking and working together. I want to see Kabru teaching Laios about the social sciences through the lens of monster biology. Aroace Kabru is a revelation to me

Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise

Summary
[NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.

while they do dream things true by iokanaan

Summary
Everything’s good, you see. It's absolutely fine. Laios dreams of kissing and stroking monsters all the time. Clearly this is a completely normal monsterfucking dream, and Laios just has to look down to find that Kabru has tentacles again, or double scorpion stingers for legs. Or perhaps he’s a faun, or a satyr - or a centaur, or an ichthyocentaur, or maybe even a beastkin who’ll transform any minute now…
Laios looks down.
No, he thinks, in dawning horror. No, no, that can’t be.
Because all he sees is regular tallman Kabru. All he's dreaming of is regular tallman Kabru, tender and unguarded, curled up in his bed.
Inveterate monsterfucker Laios Touden discovers, to his immense surprise, that he’s fallen in love with a human.

Bookmarker's Notes
Freaky monsterfucker Laios is hilarious and seeing Laios’s perspective of Kabru would make me fall in love with him too.
The writing style describes the wildest monster sex things so nonchalantly it’s hilarious. The more casual intimacy of sharing a meal? Working together?? I’m fanning myself. Laios dreaming of Kabru shaving his face or cuddling with him is more vulnerable than any of the monsterfucking.
