    Summary

    The Jedi thought that, by turning their greatest enemy into an unwitting assassin, they could grasp victory from the jaws of defeat, and safeguard the Republic, the democratic and egalitarian principles at its foundation, for future generations. Really, they should have just killed her.

    Summary

    Everyone agreed that he'd been such a promising kid before he'd settled. But that hadn't lasted long: his soul had declared herself to be entirely the wrong sort of animal. He was not a home-loving house mouse; nor even a house sparrow, happily rubbing shoulders with his brothers; he was weasel-souled, and that meant an uncomfortable husband.

    Or,

    In a world where your soul is represented as an animal familiar, half-foots have mouse and sparrow souls - and are nearing extinction. Chilchuck Tims has a least weasel daemon. This is the first stone in a landslide.

     

    This a DaemonAU and standalone companion to His Delicious Materials. No prior knowledge of His Delicious Materials or His Dark Materials required.

    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

    "Grian, what are these?"

    Weakness, he tries to rasp; it comes out garbled, so he sucks in a long, slow breath and tries again, lungs trembling with the effort. "Weak– weakness."

    Scar drops the bottle like it's burned him. "You took three weakness potions?" he chokes out, and that seems to break whatever trance Xisuma, Pearl, and Tango have been in this entire time. They rush forward, eating the distance between them in rapid strides, until they're all crouched around Grian.

    Grian shuts his eyes again, before remembering he isn't supposed to do that. He wants to say sorry. What he says instead, is: "It was– safer. Like this. For you."

    It amounts to about the same thing.

    Or, I finally buckle down and post the rough draft of hunger au, where I give Grian every mental illness known to man and also a few new ones. Please heed the tags.

    Summary

    Most people on the Island didn't know Fit had a prosthetic arm.

    Not at first, anyways.

    It was easy to mistake his prosthetic for a gauntlet or even part of his armor if someone wasn't paying close attention to it, and Fit wasn’t inclined to correct them. He had no real reason to hide it of course, not here on Quesadilla Island, but Fit had always been a private person and frankly: it was nobody's damn business.

    -

    Five times Fit and Pac bonded over their disabilities.

    Summary

    Jan is, as far as he knows, the only one aware of this particular oddity of Kaer Morhen. There are, of course, quite a few oddities in this keep, not the least of which are the Witcher inhabitants themselves, but this particular oddity goes well beyond anything Jan has ever encountered. Were he a less practical man, it might have scared him away. But Jan has sworn his service to the White Wolf, and Jan does not break his word.

    Besides, all things considered, ‘magical building that can rearrange and grow itself seemingly at will’ is certainly odd, but also quite useful for a man in Jan’s position.

    Summary

    He knew what he was signing up for, when he decided to engage; if he’d seriously asked Scar and Doc, he’s pretty darn sure that they would have given his property back. Probably. Almost certainly.

    He knew that they had kind of a “paranoid supernatural-buster” thing going, and he liked that! It was fun!

    … It doesn’t change the fact that at random times in the day, he’ll feel eyeballs slide across his back, and it’s not the Watchers, feels nothing like them, but it’s still the sensation of being watched, and sometimes it’s a lot harder to shake off than he’d like.

    Sometimes, he can’t quite stand it.

    ---

    Or: Grian does his best to work through his trauma. It would probably go a bit easier if he let others in.

    SCAR: We… I always hoped you were alive. Kinda hoped you wouldn’t come back.

    GRIAN: Oh, Scar.

    SCAR: Is it better that we’re together? Here?

    GRIAN: I was trying to come home for… for so long.

    SCAR: But would you still… if you knew it was like this?

    GRIAN: Of course I would.

    Summary

    “I don’t know if I could escape again,” Grian confesses, and Mumbo says-

    “What if someone could find you?”

    “What?”

    Grian pulls away, and finally, this is something Mumbo can do with his hands. He leans back to look at him, eyebrows furrowing, and Mumbo rests his palms on Grian’s arms, holding him in place. “If you’re taken,” he says. “Would it be comforting to know that someone could find you?”

    Grian laughs, and it’s not a good one, either, but it’s measures better than the hysterical one he’d let out earlier. “Mumbo, what?” he asks again. “I- I appreciate it, I do, but compasses are server-wide. They can’t even handle the Nether.” It’s not quite snarked but said with just enough of an 'I thought you knew this' tone that at any other time, it would be a hit to Mumbo’s redstoning ego.

    “No, not a compass,” he dismisses. “You know, marriage. A spouse could find you anywhere. The whole… soul-bond thing.”

    Okay, so he’s a redstoner, not a scientist.

     

    Or: Grian has an issue. Mumbo proposes an... unconventional solution. There's no possible way marrying one another could go wrong.

    “It is property,”  Zuko started, counting on his fingers. “It does not belong to me. It was not passed into my possession in a legally fit manner.” Here, Fire Sage Zuko had to stop counting on his fingers, lest he accidentally drop the property in question. “It is currently in my possession. I am the one who took the property, facilitating the illegal transfer. IT IS A STOLEN BEAN.”

    Summary

    “How did you become the Sandpiper?” he asks instead. How did I not know?

    Jaskier considers his answer. He's changed. He’s thinner and yet broader, muscled, a hunger-pang look replacing the former softness of his face. There’s a new scar running through his right eyebrow. His hair has grown to shoulder-length, and his stubble doesn’t hide the new lines around his mouth.

    “A lot can happen in six years, Geralt,” Jaskier says eventually. “Some people become warlords. Some do… other things.”

    *

    Six years after the dragon hunt, Geralt conquers Redania. But to start the work of rebuilding a kingdom worn down by hatred and oppression, he needs to work with the mysterious Sandpiper and his resistance network.

    There's a lot he doesn't know about what his former friend Jaskier has been up to.

    Summary

    Numair Salmalín, Black Robe mage of Tortall, is given two tasks: one by his king, to prevent the neighbouring country of Galla from falling and taking Tortall with it; the other by the Badger God, who tells Numair to find a young wild mage lost somewhere in Galla, the unstable Veralidaine Sarrasri, who Numair is told will be needed for what’s to come.

    His journey will take Numair through the destruction of a country and beyond, from the ruin of Galla to captivity within the hold of the pirate ship Danse Brightly, and back to Tortall where he has to relearn how to live in peace with those spared by Ozorne’s claiming of Galla. But the plots that began long before Numair ever set foot in Galla, long before he or Daine or anyone they love were even born, are still in play.

    In the end, the one task Numair and Daine have is this: them and their allies must end Ozorne’s march before it claims their children too, and in doing so they must remake the world from Divinity down. They, more than anyone, understand that a world lit only by the glory of Mithros will never be free of war.
