#Daemons AU

"Bit the Hand That Fed You"

Illustration for me and @wi55iams' F1 dæmon AU.

A very large web-weave project under the 'read more' for context to a man and his fictional wolf.

And that's all, folks!

the red-bellied black snake

Averaging around 1.25 m (4 ft 1 in) in length, it has glossy black upperparts, bright red or orange flanks, and a pink or dull red belly. It is not aggressive and generally retreats from human encounters, but can attack if provoked. - inaturalist.org

For Challenge Monday-Colors in the Title, I have these in my bookmarks so I thought I'd share:

Summary:

Steve doesn’t get a word in before there’s another splash. Robin squeals. He tears his gaze from the demobats, which dip and dodge around each other in a strangely graceful, hypnotizing dance, and looks at the water again because how the fuck many are there? He was sure they’d all been killed. He didn’t think there were any left. This was supposed to be over. But it’s not another demobat. It’s not a demogorgon, or Vecna, or any of the other insane shit they’ve seen over the last few years. It’s not even a fish. It’s a person breaking the surface of the water, sputtering and gasping with dark hair plastered over pale skin, and when they reach up to clear their vision, silver rings glint in the waning sunlight. Or: Against all odds, Eddie is alive, complete with two new demobat pals. Which means Steve is forced to face some feelings he threw onto a mixtape and then ignored because those feelings were wrapped up in too much grief and it was easier to just erase Eddie Munson from the equation of Steve Harrington’s Big Bisexual Crisis.

Summary:

"Red touches black, poison lack. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow." A silly rhyme, to help remember the difference between a harmless kingsnake and a deadly coral snake. Wayne taught it to him when he was fourteen, and Calpurnia settled in the form of a scarlet kingsnake. Given the way people recoil when they see his daemon, he's pretty sure no one else in Hawkins has ever heard it before. Or maybe it doesn't matter - maybe Eddie is the one they think is toxic. **** Vecna is defeated, Max is saved, and Eddie's name has been cleared. All should be right in the world of Hawkins, and Eddie's only concern should be his inconvenient crush on Steve Harrington. But there are people who still think Eddie is guilty of murder, and they're not willing to let it go.

Thanks for the recs!

Gotta love my search history when writing daemons AU fics (anyone wanna guess whose daemon this is?)

Another screenshot of my Daemon AU:

[summerlimeismethebrony]

In light of recent news, I'm polishing and sharing some aai2 snippets, bc once we get the new translation I'll have a whole new script to play with

This post has two snippets, bc they're both very short.

Takes place in my AA HDM AU, around when Miles meets Sebastian. The first is a "you pressed the wrong statement" scene, I think, while the second is an original bit that I'd have take place soon after the first time they see Sebastian's daemon shift.

The boy smirked. "Hmph. My pops always says… "You may be foolish in youth, but you must not be stupid"."

Miles waited for him to complete the odd argument.

…And kept waiting.

"I'm not stupid!" Debeste suddenly burst out, the daemon on his shoulder becoming some species of moth.

(Wh- What… Was that… uh…?)

Alethea shifted uncomfortably among the ruffles of Miles' jabot.

Judge Courtney cut in. "He means he's not stupid enough to tell a lie."

".....Oh? I- um- I knew that!" Debeste's daemon changed again to imitate Courtney's newt daemon. "I'm not stupid enough to lie! So the fingerprints are the honest truth!"

"Miles…" a soft voice whispered against his jaw, "Something's not right here."

"With the case?" Miles murmured back, "Obviously."

"Not the case!" she hissed, "The prosecutor! Doesn't his behavior remind you of anyone?"

"Uh… no?"

Alethea huffed. "Idiot!"

— —

"Miles, that prosecutor…" said a quiet voice by his jaw, "he's still unsettled. Don't you find that odd?"

Alethea had a point. Most employers wouldn't so much as consider someone unsettled, as an unstable personality is considered a sign of unreliability — and that included the bar association. What had this boy done to acquire his badge so young?

After a week of me and @ro55ocorsa brainrotting about daemons and F1 men, here we are.

Forms chosen from the Daemonpage Analytic Index. It compares animal behaviour to human traits, rather than relying on symbolism. I'll see about possibly putting links and further thoughts in a reblog.

Public personas differ from real identity, and we don't presume to know more than that. Typing is on ✨vibes✨ not close inspection.

Edit: Fixed Tsunoda's name order, please reblog this version instead.

All it took was one stupid drunken conversation for Bradley to totally ruin his chances with Hangman - even his daemon wasn't able to help. And 10 years later, he's still paying for that, pining for a man who probably hates him

Trust Natasha to make him get himself together and actually talk to Hangman, and possibly get himself a boyfriend. Who would've thought?

 or daemon au with stupid but adorable pining bradley, cool hangman, even cooler natasha, and ofc, happy ending

"She knew that, in a relationship, sometimes you have to compromise, make sacrifices. For Yoko, that meant morning classes instead of evening like the others vampires, and being kind of a lone bat for that reason. For Divina, it meant staying out of water most of the time… Compromises."

Chapter 6 of The Hare on the Moon, my wenclair-yokovina daemons AU fanfic is out.

[artaxlivs]

I’m just out here recommending this Steddie daemon fic because it was seriously so great. Dustin with a raccoon daemon?? That’s so on point. Anyway, I didn’t write it  @sparkle-fiend did and I don’t even know if I follow them but if not, I’m gonna now. Anyway, here it is, you should read it. (I do follow them, look at that! I have great taste.)

[macaquesrottingcorpse]

It's a weird feeling, someone touching your daemon. Like a hand reaching into you, gently caressing your internal organs. He would not let Shidou touch his liver or any of his kidneys, though.

or: a very short story of Sae, Shidou and their daemons

i couldn't find any blue lock daemon aus so i just wrote one myself
