Mission: Impossible/His Dark Materials crossover - characters and their daemons

More details and reasonings under the cut:

The choice of each animal came from a mix of ideas; from general symbolism, to specific symbols (even dream symbolism) and actual behavioral and personality traits of the animals (and I now know about so many birds and lizards than I ever did before). And yes, it was much more fun than it probably should've been.

I think the IMF/CIA/general spy protocol calls for people who have smaller daemons as they can be less conspicuous, harder to target, and easier to pick up and carry, and they especially favor daemons that can fly.

That said, Benji's is by far the biggest of the bunch but I considered he started as a tech so he wouldn't necessarily have a "spy appropriate" daemon type at the outset. The Asian Small Clawed otter is however the smallest species of otter, but it's also the most social, so that worked out great.

I used symbolism for falcons in general for Ethan's kestrel, but kestrels are part of the falco genus so I say it counts.

Same with Jane's gecko, I considered lizard symbolism as a whole on top of geckos specifically.

Ethan's kestrel is so on the nose it's ridiculous. Nevermind the symbolism, they fight birds bigger than themselves, love to do stunts like flying to insane heights then freefalling, they calculate risks while hunting - he's got a kestrel.

Luther's probably seems like the oddest match but all the symbolism matches up too well and I love the idea of this flashy little bird on his shoulder.

I followed Pullman's general naming conventions in that they're more diverse and sometimes obscure.

However most of them they absolutely have nicknames because of course they do.

I do realize 'Kari' is probably a better nickname than 'Kathi' but I misspelled it the first time around and now the idea of an otter called Kathi amuses me.

I think the daemons' personalities are pretty one-to-one matches of their people, except maybe Brandt's Pru is a bit less pessimistic than he is, haha.

The M:I wiki lists Julia's last name as both 'Meade' and 'Meade-Hunt' so I went with the latter just cause it still has Ethan's last name in there.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

aka

oh don't bother me I'm not here for the jazzy prison riot, I'm here to talk to my wife, Simon Pegg, through the surveillance camera

Nicholas Angel looks like he could impersonate Lady Margot Fenring but the mask maker said no and died on him

Jeremy Renner's dream come true: shouting at Tom Cruise

Paula Patton doing the impossible: kicking ass in a mini pencil dress

(this bullet point is specifically dedicated to the brain cell in me who pretends it's a DJ and who decided to play „Sandstorm“ by Darude)

what we need is an explanation about at which point Benji underwent an aesthetic twink death DILF birth between this movie and Rogue Nation

Bogdan and Ethan are actually shippable but so are Ethan and Sidorov. imagine your enemies to lovers

The Impossibles [insert the swelling horns from the scene where Mr. Incredible found out about the deaths of his fellow supes]

EVERYTHING IS BROKEN. THE GADGETS. THAT BITCH WHO KILLED MY COLLEAGUE THAT I KICKED OFF THE TALLEST TOWER IN THE WORLD. KURT HENDRICKS. ME (almost)

Brad Bird seeks revenge on Pixar

Paula Patton looks great in aquamarine actually

“and I catch you” (Branji can I ship?)

Brandt tries to be tough but ends up being a cinnamon roll

Michael Giacchino's punny score saga, I lost count

Pluto is still a planet to me, Benji!!

how to straight flirt with a rich af bigwig who thinks every guy you hang out with is your bf

the sweaty Brandt shot hits different when you survive a heat wave

“oh I thought it was a bigger org but it's just two guys and one of them is a hopeless atomic sadboi”

Benji confesses his love to Ethan and shares his condolences about Julia in the fucking Kremlin. from Russia with love

“next time, I seduce the rich guy” oh Brandt don't you worry ;)

the one true MVP here is the airbag in that BMW Ethan used to nosedive to Hendricks's nuke case

Luther judging Ethan for saying MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED out loud is all of us

Benji truly has autism and it shows. his mouth is his third hand. he's in missions because Ethan likes him back. he sometimes mantra-izes his words into something worth repeating. shaky but focused

omg. Julia. alive. she knows. that her husband's new boyfriend is also a bit protective of her by extension

[nectarine-neuroticism]

having fun working on a commission for arturo. he wanted one of his ocs (angel, left) included in the commission, and another oc (paulina, right) that we brainstormed together for the sake of this fic.

i decided to let my computer charge a bit after writing for a while, so i decided to make picrews of the ocs (couldn't resist with makowka, long time fave tbh) just to help make the visualizations of them "tangible."

then i decided to make the rest of the mcs as picrews lol. take this as you will.

anyways,,, enjoy.

also, before you ask, yes. i did give benji a little gay boy earring. i asked simon if it was okay and he said all things are as they should be.

Link to Part one Here

This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)

Orbit by steelneena - Rated G

Somehow, they always end up back in one another's orbit.

on sleepless roads the sleepless go by waveridden - Rated G

This is what Lindsey Farris remembers before she dies. (In which Ethan can see ghosts, and Lindsey gets to say goodbye.)

lost/looking by waveridden - Rated T

His lips flick up into something like a smile. “I saw your record, Agent Faust. You can figure it out. But only if you live long enough to do it.” (An Ethan/Ilsa roleswap.)

Hoping Against Odds by snovyda - Rated G

"A small part of him wanted to hope against all odds. It kept telling him that he couldn’t give up, that there had to be another way". Brandt's point of view during the parking garage scene in the end of Rogue Nation.

Knight in Shining Armour by why_am_i_pluto - Rated G

Brandt returns the favour when a mission goes wrong and Benji gets himself into a spot of trouble. One shot.

You're Worth the Risk by LadyM_17 - Rated T

After Ethan gets shot rescuing Benji, Benji confronts him about whether or not he's worth the risk. (Spoiler alert: he is.)

It's Alright by RandmWriter - Rated T

This time, Benji gets to be the one to save Ethan.

Consequences Of A Scarf by Cheeky_The_Monkey - Rated T

Post-Fallout. SPOILERS. IMF missions have taken a toll on Benji in many ways. It was only a matter of time before the rest of the team began to notice. ONESHOT

Nebulous by MidnightMoonWarrior - Rated G

After the events of Ghost Protocol, Benji isn't sleeping well. The team notices. A drabble of team views after their second official mission together, looking to the future after a crash course on teamwork that was the movie. Ft. Team-Dad-Hunt.

Milk Run by berlincorpography - Rated G

In some ways, Benji reflected, it was kind of nice to have normal problems for a change.

Stuck in the Middle by why_am_i_pluto - Rated T

Take a tech and an analyst then throw them down a pit. Mix in one cup of blood loss, a dose of concussions and a bucket load of time to kill. What would any pair of mature, grown men do?

follow me into the endless night / meet me in the woods tonight by biochemprincess - Rated G

Ethan Hunt grew up on a dairy farm.
