    Summary

    A roleswap series that explores the possibility of Laios being eaten by the Red Dragon instead of Falin, and how that changes some things while keeping other parts the same.

    Was this concept already explored by Ryoko Kui?
    Yes.
    Am I doing my own exploration of the concept?
    Also yes.

    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

    Sometimes, you just need a very specific kind of support. Chilchuck totally isn't interested in providing it. Too bad for him he doesn't get a say in it.

    Disconnected vignettes of the former Touden party, focussed on the kind of unspoken support that absolutely does not come from a greedy, self-absorbed colleague.

    You are changed by everything you eat. Some meals you eat not for pleasure, but to prevent anyone else from having to eat it.
    They change you all the same.
