hdm fic masterpost
so I've decided to collect my hdm fics in one masterpost because a) I didn't specifically tag them and tags tend to disappear anyway b) mama didn't raise a quitter but she did raise a perfectionist c) I'm gonna post some more and create more havoc!
I've almost exclusively written Masriel so far and I'm obsessed with their shenanigans, but I also love other charaters and pairings π
with this in mind, requests for three-sentence fics are currently open so drop sth in my askbox if you want to!
and check below for the list β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ
masriel
the lost heartbeats (also available on ao3)
night rendex-vous (also available on ao3)
a bigger piece on the crime-au from 3 sentence prompts
three sentence fics (the list will be updated, also posting on ao3):
+ painful goodbyes + mirrors + color (golden) + poison + fighting + pregnancy + stone cottage + the locket + waking up together + jealousy + sharing clothes + huddling together for warmth + secret touch + saying 'I love you' + touching each other's daemons + commiting crimes together (au) + first kiss + being reckless + heartbreak + reading to each other + dancing + compliments + hope + playing card games (prompt gone wild) + reunion (rebellion time) + Asirel having something he doesn't enjoy but he knows Marisa does at his house + soft masriel during rebellion + indulgence + pillows + nsfw + candlelight + childhood parallels + injured (which ended up being a fix-it postcanon) + baby Lyra + trust + distracting each other (au) + being stubborn + silence + baby names + regrets (poem) + music + waking up together [2] + crime au + soulmates + being ill + the sea + affair era + stone cottage/island + thunderstorms + religion + sick Marisa + science + wolf + being domestic + northern lights + modern au (aka disaster divorcees) + being tender to one another + touch + modern au & marisa telling lyra about having another baby + daemons (asriel and the monkey yeehaw)
silverparry/panjava
three-sentence fics:
+ Lyra's Jordan
that's it so far, and even if I don't write much more, at least I'll have this in one place. cheers! π

What are some of your favourite masriel fics?? π
Hey Anon, thanks for asking! I have to preface this answer by saying that it's tough to choose cause of the sheer number of top quality fics for this pairing. Really, I've been in sooo many fandoms throughout the years, and masriel/hdm in general seem to be the most consistently great in terms of both the prose and the ideas. It's like this ship attracts great authors! I have yet to read a fic I didn't like, which is very much an outlier for me.
Now to the proper answer to your question, here's a bunch of fics I particularly like and have been coming back to. I'll try not to give much away about them just in case they're new for you. If you don't know these stories - go read now!!! In no particular order:
In Winter, In Oxford, by three_atoms. Pre-romance exploration of Marisa and Asriel's first meeting, set around their scholarly activities in Oxford. It's genuinely my favorite version of their first meeting! The focus the author puts on their souls being the primary vessel for attraction is right up my alley. It also has some really amazing world building - I'm very fond of the snippets of technology we get to see, and the really strong cast of supporting characters. And of course the interactions between our main idiots are just πππ tbh while reading it I felt like me & the author share the same headcanon braincell hahah
Selenography, by anonymous author. Asriel has a near death experience in the North, and it leads to things. Very haunting, very cinematic. Love it.
Unholy Ghosts, by LavenderJam. Post-canon AU, is actually Lyra-centric, but it's just so good! First of all it's just an overall amazing fic with great prose and fantastic characterization, and I love reading anything older Lyra dealing with stuff. From the shipper's perspective, it's one of my favs cause it's such a great peek into Marisa and Asriel from a third person's perspective, and I feel like we don't get that a lot.
Unholy, by three_atoms. Affair-era, they go to the North for a conference together. The imagery of the North here, Jesus! And, not gonna lie, it has absolutely fucking incredible smut.
Applied Heresy, by Kaesa. Another piece I just adore for the world building. Marisa and Asriel form a connection based on science and intellect first, and it evolves from there, which is my favorite take ever.

In Watercolours (HDM: Asriel/Marisa, E)
The cab deposited her outside the large house on the Thames sheβd visited once before. Spring was handing the baton to summer, and the white walls gleamed in the early afternoon sunshine, making the monkey squint until his eyes adjusted. October House was in the classical style, an elegant moniker for a timeless, sophisticated house. Asriel may live his life on the verge of barbarism, but he had good taste in some things β or the sense to employ people with good taste.
Chapter 6 of 7
Edit: The penultimate chapter is now complete - I've added the second part. There's still one more chapter to go! Sorry for the confusion.

I've added the 2nd part of Chapter 5!
Just go to Chapter 5 and scroll down to the first scene break (***) for the new content.
In Watercolours (HDM: Asriel/Marisa, E)
In recent years, heβd been spending much more time in the North than he did in Brytain, and spoiled for choice, heβd become much more selective about the invitations he accepted. Then an unfortunate, debilitating accident and a singular, peculiar woman conspired to keep him from the North and sparked a new-found interest in society events, and now here he was, dressed in a tux, sipping champagne and making small talk in the Rochfordβs opulent ballroom entrance hall.
Chapter 5: Part lI
About Marisa's ball gown:
I imagine Marisa's ball gown as a 1950s Dior. This link on my other blog will show you a selection of 1950s ball gowns, if you're interested! (The Met archives have some amazing pieces of fashion history!)
The 'May' dress, the 'Venus' dress, the silk sequin ball gown from the fall/winter 1953-54 collection and the silver belted ball gown from the spring/summer 1953 collection are my favourite silhouettes.
I imagine the colour of Marisa's dress as something like this or this.

She raised a brow, but he was already pushing the door open. βCome on, trust me,β he said. She did, so she followed, her dΓ¦mon slinking in ahead of her.

Marisa wakes alone. Asriel is already up and on the other side of the room, lounging in a chair, reading. Stelmaria and the golden monkey are curled together by his feet, as if he has two dæmons and she has none.
She rolls over, props herself up on an elbow and looks at him until he feels her eyes on him. It doesnβt take long; heβs developed some extra-sensory perception just for her, as if thereβs a dΓ¦mon-bond between them too. He closes the book then and turns around to face her.
She smiles because sheβs happy and looking at him. He smiles back and leans back in his seat to watch her. He never tires of looking at her.

I've posted a snippet of Chapter 6, yay! (I'm verbose, so a snippet is 3300 words.)
The remaining two thirds of the penultimate chapter will hopefully follow soon.
This way

Okay, Iβm doing something different.
I had some time today and managed to finish a third of Chapter 5. (Iβm me, so a third of a chapter equals about 4 000 words.) I have the rest of the chapter plotted, but not sure when Iβll be able to finish it. Rest assured that it will eventually be finished!
Anyway, I havenβt updated this fic since last year, and it recently got some new readers, and I felt like offering something, so β¦ hereβs what Iβm doing: Iβm uploading part of Chapter 5 now and will add the rest when itβs done.
I would usually wait until I have a full novella chapter, but the part Iβve written makes for a nice contained scene that I think people will like (because of the, ahem, nature of the content, ha ha) so I figure why not?!
So here ya go. Happy weekend!
In Watercolours (HDM: Asriel/Marisa, E)
Asriel glanced up from the article he was writing for the Arctic Instituteβs journal, gaze flitting towards his dΓ¦mon. Stelmaria lay by the studyβs door, head up and front paws stretched out ahead of her, as still as a statue of the sphinx. βIβm not waiting,β she said, turning her head to catch his gaze when she felt him looking at her. βNo, that would be rather pathetic,β he said dryly.

Chapter 7/8: Follow the Golden Monkey (Complete)
Chapter 8/8: Summer (TBA)

The bond was clear of any objection or misgiving. A pleasurable sense of anticipation hummed between him and his dæmon. Stelmaria wanted to see Marisa just as much as he did. He grinned. The unremarkable day had transformed, becoming a promising thing. (The affair starts in spring)
