Welcome to london. the capital city of the united kingdom of great britain and once the capital of the world, london is a city full of history, diversity and is the home of nine million people that might seem familiar. they should be. they are not real, but they're characters from books, from movies, from television shows over the years and have ended up here in our world, one way or another.

this is not the london you or i know. it's a completely different one.

we are london is a literate multifandom group that is set in london in the united kingdom. we place emphasis on character development as well as creating a fun, welcoming space for anyone. characters can either have or not have their memories and may be pulled from any point in their source material, even far after it if the mun so desires.

I am absolutely wild and feral over HDM (legit like, daemons fit SO well. I'm watching dunmeshi wondering where Laios' dog went) and super curious if you do plan a sequel or other fics following this AU??

(In reference to the His Dark Materials / Dungeon Meshi fusion fic)

thank you so much for this question I love this question god!!!! Thank you thank you thank you

God sorry about HDM being delayed, I’m going through hell over it at the moment. It’s meant to end a little after the dragon, then a timeskip epilogue, with special coding so that you can read it two different ways, depending on whether you want spoilers for the manga/season 2. (My idea is that you’ll click a button to reveal/hide it, and the spoiler-free epilogue will be like found poetry.)

Firstly, if you or anyone else would like to take the concepts/characters in His Delicious Materials forward for themselves, you must do this. You don’t need my permission (but I’d love a link! so I can read, scream, reblog, comment, link to it, etc. there is also the “inspired by” setting on ao3 so we can link works directly to HDM, forming a collection for anyone who reads one and wants more.) I don’t own any of it! We are all just having fun! YOU can be the sequel you want to see in the world! If your heart feels a way forward, then follow your heart!! A daemon AU is really about revealing character and I find them really inspiring, like adding a whole engine to a story idea.

If I were to write something to follow up, I do know what the sequel WOULD be! It would be a sort of Discworld novel about the slow social revolution occurring in the half-foots as a chain reaction to Bee settling as a weasel, all occurring behind Chilchuck’s oblivious and unhelpful back. Pushed into a sort of bottleneck of sparrow- and mouse-souls, and marginalised to the very edges of society, half-foots are precarious and endangered. Chilchuck is mostly eating a ham sandwich unhelpfully in the foreground, and at the end of the story looks back and sees to his bewilderment that his people have found a way forward (they don’t have a Shire or a Chosen One, but they do have a goddamn functional worker’s union and their own collective dignity.) kind of Discworld-commentary-comedy, kind of a loving argument with Tolkien, kind of Sharpe hostile-and-awkward-protagonist-POV-doesn’t-know-and-wouldn’t-believe-that-his-men-genuinely-love-him, kind of about the experience of parenting, and kind of gently warmly political BUT FUNNY so it would be ok. but feel it would be too much of a stretch of people’s patience and the original materials’s intentions to call it fanfic. Too many OCs needed to carry the weight, too little reference to the other Dungeon Meshi characters, almost too little “payoff” for what would be a full 70k word work. So maybe to let the story breathe, it would be better worked up as original fiction?

(Plus, that is actually an actual novel: if people write their own novels and manga about orc coffeeshops and dnd parties, I could just write my own too: wait but how do you know if you should?)

Anyway, that is an entirely separate kettle of weasels and my own cross to bear! If your heart cries out for a sequel the best way to manifest it in the world is to write it!

If you feel that A Weasel Heart In Defiance feels like it would scratch that itch, here is a bit that is mildly relevant to Dungeon Meshi, which is Chilchuck and Bee starting to work away from home while the girls were still small. You’ll probably see what I mean from it.

About seven of the village children, including his own three, had a snake in a wooden bucket. They didn't look up.

The reappearance of a random guy who functioned mostly as a postal service and occasionally shouted at them about bedtime - in a way that could be easily blanked out if something more interesting was happening - simply could not be expected to compete for attention with a snake in a bucket.

Chilchuck could recognise this on some level, but as his own children ignored him, he felt very hot and angry, in a way that he had never wanted to feel about children, especially his.

Bee, also rigidly pissed off, growled, "Easy, boss."

This was where Chilchuck did the only thing so far that he was proud of, in this day. He did not start shouting, even though his temper was going something like What the fuck, kids, but worse. He stopped, took a minute, and remembered he'd had this whole thing where he'd wanted his kids to love him. He rubbed his nose, said, "Remind me," and his daemon reminded him: "What do we want them to actually do?"

And he said, "The bare minimum fucking acknowledgement would be nice."

And Bee said, "Have we explained that to them? Do they know?"

So Chilchuck and Bee, hot and tired and cross and still on the job apparently, sat down on the ground with the kids and looked in the bucket. The snake, poor bastard, looked very limp and tired. Chilchuck could relate.

After a while, Chilchuck said, "Girls?"

Or more accurately, something like, "Girls! Girls. Meifleurpatti-I mean Puck-PUCK. Listen up. Mei! Fleur, I'm talking - thanks Fleur - Puck. (Ryeland, stop the baby.) PUCK. Mei, Fleur, Puck - PUCK, eyes on me - thanks, Ryeland - PUCK. EYES," which condensed in parent-speak to a single roar of "Girls!"

When he had them more or less listening, he remembered to set his voice to the more singsong cadence one used for children, instead off the deeper version of his natural voice that he used for shouting at the top of his abilities at tall people; making the choice to be patient and gentle, or at least pretend to be someone who was; and in this manner he said reasonably, "Now, your dad's been away for a very long time and missed you all very much. What do you say? What do you say when your dad comes home?"

Six children stared at him blankly, and the baby toppled gently into the bucket. He fished it out, stuck it sideways under his arm, allowed the snake to escape in the confusion, acknowledged someone's grievously injured finger, stopped Fleur from pinching, took out his pocket handkerchief and wiped Puck's nose in essentially one continuous motion.

To be completely fair, now that he'd let go of the initial anger, he could see that the kids had absolutely no idea what he'd wanted of them. Kids had practically no social instincts at the best of times. Chilchuck coming home was remarkable, sure, but beyond their influence; how were they supposed to react? What do you say to a comet? What do you say to a hailstorm? What do you say when daddy comes home?

He repeated the question, as the children had universally drawn blanks and devolved into staring vacantly.

"Good morning, Daddy!" A child chirped helpfully, setting off the rest in an automatic drone of "good morning, Daddy," in the strangely universal dreary tone of all children saying that.

"So close, Fernwise! Is it morning? What else do we think?"

Bee, fighting for order among the kit-daemons, was simultaneously washing Fleurtom's daemon, Pantoufle's, face; receiving a long rambling report of a grievance from three incoherent witnesses; and minding the baby's chick-daemon; up to her ears in parenting. She said, around a mouthful of Pan, "Speed it up, boss, you're losing them."

"Where are your spots, Daddy?" Pan asked him. He was in the form of a young ferret and scrabbled against his mother's grip on his scruff.

"My what?"

"Your freckles," Bee said grimly, and seeing he'd been temporarily disarmed - and being a valiant beast in her way - charged in to her human's defense, "Is that nice, Pan? We don't want to make people feel bad about their looks, do we?"

"Yes we do," said Fleur.

"Fleur! We've just - we haven't seen much of the sun, that's all," said Bee, taking charge, the best and most loyal soul a man could have. "They'll come back, and they're not spots."

"Mei has spots."

"Freckles."

"Grimbob has spots."

"Yes, and you shouldn't notice," Bee said. "Think of Grimbob's feelings."

"I do, I think he feels spotty."

"I'm thirsty," Puck said flatly.

"Stick to the point, kids," Chilchuck said, recovering from the fact that his usual face was apparently indistinguishable to children from Grimbob's, who had been taking puberty hard. This was surprisingly difficult to do.

Ryeland, a mildly bright spark who was older than the Chils girls, connected two dots and suddenly roared "WELCOME HOME DADDY," so six children all repeated that automatically, and Fleur added sunnily, "I missed you Daddy!"

And just as a very small piece of Chilchuck's heart was finally allowed to melt, she added, equally sunnily, "Mei didn't."

"I did a little," Meijack said vaguely.

"That's great kids, well done, we got there in the end," Chilchuck said. "Remember it for next time, okay? It makes Daddy feel better about his stupid life. Now, next time, let's remember that it's traditional to do a hug."

He realised his mistake instantly, as six children and their daemons all bore him - and the baby he'd forgotten he was holding - to the ground.

[ibijau]

of course now I'm thinking of daemon AU for my OCs too

First thing I'm pretty sure of is that gods likely don't have daemons anymore since they have all technically died (but not in a 'a part of their soul is now dead/gone' and more 'the part of them that was their daemon is now fused inside their soul like is implied in most worlds other than Lyra's)

Medka would either get a snow leopard (for cute factor mostly) or a horse. Actalus would almost certainly get a dog because in HDM canon that's what most people in servant position get.

Not sure what would be the equivalent of witches. Possibly... just witches. Or priests?

[birgittesilverbae]

in babea au what are kid!bea’s favourite franchises & books when she’s growing up? i bet mary (unlike her parents) lets bea be interested in whatever she wants, even if it’s stuff like superheroes or cartoons or video games. would really love to hear your thoughts on what she’d gravitate towards, given the freedom to be herself.

the urge to answer this with "jesus fandom" for the bit even though it's absolutely not something babea au!Bea gets into, given as a kid/teen she sits in that same sort of position as Mary does, adjacent to the Church but not Of the Church, a queer kid who is comfortable with who she's growing into and has accepted it but has still found a family and a home through the Church

Mary didn't have the biggest media consumption as a kid, so she uses the excuse of Bea to expose both of them to a whole slew of it.

when they watch Star Wars, Bea latches onto Luke really quickly, dreaming of more, of being allowed to live, and then being forced towards it by the deaths of her parents. she inhales as much of the canon as she can get her hands on after that, dives into the novels and the comics, cobbles together her own padawan robes. she gets the lego millenium falcon one year, mary having worked and wheedled the money for it by picking up odd jobs in addition to her ocs work and leaning heavily on vincent until he capitulated and found the remainder she needed to afford it "in the budget"

she's well into lego in general and so stoked about the architecture builds when she learns about them like a week into her time with the ocs but worried that might seem weird, but mary gets her the little London set as a kinda housewarming gift when they establish where she's gonna end up

she gets really into building intricate stuff in minecraft too, spends months working on an atlantis analogue. she's drawn to the games that involve that more rigorous planning, and gets a bit too into satisfactory in her mid teens and mary has to have a talk with her about scaling back on it a bit because her grades are suffering, which of course leads to bea dropping video games completely bc god forbid she halfass something (it's also around the time lilith joins the ocs; mary: I'm not sure that this is a better replacement)

she enjoys the Charlie Bone series and identifies with Emma Tolly, gets into PJO for a bit but it doesn't really make an impression. gets really invested in HDM and has to be talked out of trying to engage Vincent and Suzanne in conversations about it. she's a voracious reader who moves out of YA pretty quickly and plows through a lot of sci-fi and philosophy

the queer found family of it all of star trek draws her in as well, but she's less engaged by it, and has a habit of rewatching fight scenes in stuff over and over again that mary finds troubling until she's reminded that bea's probably trying to give herself an idea of the danger mary and shannon and the rest are putting themselves in every time they're in the field (then mary finds it even more troubling and reschedules bea's next therapist appointment to an earlier date)

[maramcna]

This is gonna be a long post and probably gonna have weird spelling things cause my phone keyboard hates me?

From easiest to hardest, how easy is it to write with my muses

Jack- easily the most easy to write with cause time traveler he can go anywhere

Lucalia- similar to Jack as time lords have time travel technology, baby girl <3

Rosie- popstar love of my life, she's just a girl tbh & can fit nearly anywhere + does have a sw verse

everyone else under the cut cause L O N G

Barbie- enough said, is not the barbie movie vibes. More like the barbie in the animated films & as such fits EVERYWHERE. mermaid? Fairy? Princess? Baker girl cursed to be a swan?

Zahra, Arthur, May, Nikki, & Nikolai- so very just a person vibes (you know, aside from Arthur being the husband of a princess lmao) nikki is from a canon that is weird, but she was just a normal girl before finding herself in Miraland

All of my greek mythology muses- with all of them being immortal, they can go just abt anywhere. Orpheus is the sandman vibes

Katsa & Bitterblue- historical & fantasy vibes here. Can kinda be made to fit almost anywhere with those same vibes & Bitterblue kinda has a sw verse

Qin Yi- like Nikki, is from a weird canon; however I will fit him in anything. He is an actor

Lyra- AU version of her. Mostly hdm but also sw and pjo and Normal world. I love my daughter

Seth- BABY BOY, is a werewolf but just a guy & my oc now

Rowan- i need to write bios for my ocs, they are from just normal earth but has warlock vibes, super easy if you've got dnd verses

Lucienne- they're just available when your muse is either visiting the Dreaming in general or is dreaming tbh

Hassian- can both be like dnd vibes but also alien vibes

Hephaestion- not easy unless you write like a time traveler, someone from the same time as him, or a god. He is here to bring joy to me and Elliot

Strawberry Shortcake- listen, I love her but I know nobody is really gonna write with her lmao

[doctors-star]

38, 43, 52

Now that I am putting the numbers down I'm not 100% certain they are the right ones. At least one is...

let's go with what we have.

38 - what is your most self-indulgent posted story?

i mean pretty much any of them. i don't write to indulge anyone else. possibly yet write something; and take care of yourself - because it just doesn't have a plot, but i wanted to look at it. also nuremberg's summer, which was born of my strong desire to talk about pilgrimages for a bit.

43 - is there a trope or idea that you'd really like to write but haven't yet?

until recently, i would have said hdm/daemons au - but i did do that! and it was fun, if somewhat hard work; i have a fear of creating uninteresting ocs which must be overcome in such situations. i think i'd like to do some kind of sci-fi au at some point, though it'll probably end up like my star wars trilogy, and there's certainly scope for playing around in different time periods again.

52 - what's the average word count of your fics?

you ask me to do maths?? mathematics??? me???? short answer - not a clue. better answer - of late, between 4 and 10 thousand. that's also the sort of ballpark i usually aim for.

[tabswrites]

Happy STS, Tess!

Here's a silly question for your beloved and/or beloathed blorbos; if your ocs could choose to live an AU (alternate universe list from ao3 for your convenience) where would they choose to live?

-HD

Happy STS!

I haven’t thought about an AU before but the instant I clicked on the link I saw one that made me really happy.

Silver Sentinels:

His Dark Materials. This obviously holds a special place in my heart because my main url is a stupid HDM reference. My OCs will each have their own animal companions eventually, but it doesn’t come close to the relationship one has with their daemon, and I think they’d be curious. Mara would be really, really happy to see that being a scholar and reading all day is a pretty normal thing. I also think Adrin would be really interested in the witches from that world, but would be completely traumatized by the sight of the armored bears.

If you know, you know ;(

Meme: daemons, fucking-while-pining, and fluff?

Daemons: neutral. I would have said "not my favorite" but I've been reading OFMD daemon AUs and actually liking them ... My issue with daemons (put into words because I recently caught up with the HDM tv show and remembered my issues with the book series) is that they always seem like half iddy and half simply adding more characters? In a lot of cases, daemon AUs give some pleasure through the "figure out what characters' daemons would be" game, but then functionally in the fic they're just OCs and I don't care much about them? However, OFMD fandom has been doing a lot with Stede and Ed's daemons that really enrich the story; I am NEVER going to be over the reveal about Stede's daemon in it's what isn't in the name or the visceral horror of what hostile people can do to a daemon.

Fucking while pining: Love it, but only in OFMD because I can buy it for both Ed and Stede or when it's paired with the arranged marriage trope - in most cases, it stretches my suspension of disbelief too much to accept that characters would be having sex but unable to believe the other's in love with them. (Possibly my potential-ace-spectrumness strikes again?)

Fluff: Like it. I especially seem to like writing it! Sometimes I get a bit tired of constant happiness, but for the most part I am more likely to click on a fic if it's in the tags (but I don't go out looking for it).

send me more tropes!

[thetamehistorian]

I was tagged by @cha-melodius thanks for tag, this was really interesting!

Rules: post the top 5 works you’re most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you’re excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favorite line you’ve written this year!

Top 5 works I’m proud of:

I only released 4 works this year 😅 but I updated a different one so I’m counting that too!

1. in art, the sublime - a T.M.F.U character study of Napoleon featuring artist!Napoleon, I loved writing this one.

2. The Fortunate Few - a Star Wars The Clone Wars AU which was OC heavy. I’m proud of how huge this project was, how much it stretched my character development and the positive response it got!

3. The Swiftness of Flight - my first ever crossover fic! T.M.F.U and HDM. In particular, a clever bit of word play and how it played off in the plot!

4. All My Soul Yearns For - a T.M.F.U and HDM crossover for a holiday fic exchange. This one pushed me out of my comfort zone to try something new - I really enjoyed some of the lines in this one too!

5. To Get One’s Goat - utterly ridiculous crack comedy fic 10/10 would write again

6. Bonus: my PhD thesis was completed this year!

Top 4 Current WIPS

😅 bold of you to assume I write this far in advance, however I do have some original works and WIPS that I want to pick up again!

1. The Fall - an original novel and cyberpunk spy story. Currently working on a second draft!

2. Loose Screws - an original novel and sci-fi comedy that I’d love to get written this year!

3. A Sense of Home - with the Mandalorian series 3 approaching I’d love to get this Mandalorian one-shot series finished!

4. Maybe something in the Fortunate Few universe - another one shot or something!

Top 3 Biggest Improvements

1. Character development. Writing an OC heavy story really helped me build on how to create and develop good, realistic characters!

2. Planning. I’m a renowned panster. Planning? I haven’t heard of her. For my larger projects, though, I’ve really started to learn to plan things out properly.

3. Editing. I’ve got much better at editing and minimising issues prior to releasing a work!

Top 2 Resolutions for 2023

1. Finish revising my first original novel!

2. Write more regularly - I’m terrible at building a writing habit.

Top 1 Favourite Line

I don’t know why this line amused me so much, but it did:

‘Usually, his first impression of Illya and Alina as subtle in the way a brick to the face was subtle held strong, but they surprised him on occasion. Even a brick could be subtle if it was placed in the middle of a brick wall.’

Tagging: whoever feels like it!

[lavendertownsghost]

Rvb daemon au.... I've also been working on one :00

Yooooo!!!! I love Daemon AUs so much. I've been working on the RvB one on and off for literally 7 years now, I'm planning on it being a total rewrite of the entire series (up to the Temple arc, but not the time travel arcs). I have the entire main BGC and Freelancer Daemons figured out (still working on names though), I'm just trying to figure out how I want the Freelancer arc to end since that's going to directly impact Tex's character in BGC.

I'm also having it be a bit more of a HDM fusion then just a Daemon AU, a major OC is going to be a Panserbjørn and someone (probably Caboose) is definitely going to have an Alethiometer

[geneticcatalyst]

oh no for all the aus ive stuck my ocs in i never thought about daemon/hdm universe until just now and it sounds basic but i think this is a crow x pitbull mutt situation and then i thought of pup daemon very carefully carrying crow and now ive died forever.
