A  His  Dark  Materials  AU  Starter  for  @heatedhollander,  because  once  this  idea  got  in  my  head  I  couldn't  stop  thinking  about  it 

ㅤㅤㅤIntellectually,  Ilya knows that  Shane  Hollander  has  a  daemon  (inasmuch  that everyone has  a  daemon)  to  represent  his  soul.  But  between  obsessing  over  replays  of  the  other  boy's  best  linework  in  Juniors,  facing  off  against  him  on  the  ice,  and  watching  his  pupils  dilate  with desire  in  a  locker  room  shower…  well,  okay.  The  Russian  somehow  just  hadn't  given  that  much  thought  to what  kind  of  daemon  Hollander  might  actually have. 

ㅤㅤㅤAnd  now  they're  here,  in  room  1410,  navigating  something  that  probably  shouldn't  feel  this  hot  or intense, considering  who  they  both  are  and  what  they  represent  to  the  league.  But  as  Надежда  so  often  reminds  him,  Rozanov can't  resist  a  bad  idea… 

ㅤㅤㅤ(The  ermine  daemon  in  question  is  currently  curled  up  in  a  huff  inside  Ilya's  jacket  pocket,  draped  somewhat  hastily  on  the  dresser  by  the  door.  He'd  feel  more  guilty  about  it,  except  for  the  fact  that Shane  Hollander  had  his  mouth  on  Ilya's  dick  thirty  seconds  ago  and  the  Russian  is  lucky  his  entire  brain  hasn't  melted  out  of  his  ears…) 

ㅤㅤㅤRozanov's  already  naked,  kicking  free  of  his  crumpled  jeans  and  socks  as  he  devours  Shane's  bare  chest  with  his  gaze,  impatient  to  see  every  inch  of  the  other  man.  He  wants  to  look  his  fill  like  he  hadn't  been  able  to  during  their  stolen  moment  in  the  showers,  and  he's  so  intent  (so  charmed)  that  he  almost  misses  the  small,  fluffy  shape  that  hops  up  next  to  Shane's  tidily  folded  clothing  pile  on  the  TV  stand.

ㅤㅤㅤAlmost. 

ㅤㅤㅤ"…Hollander."  Ilya  says,  round-eyed  and  open-mouthed  with  poorly  hidden  delight,  "…your  daemon…  is Bunny?"

[HDM!AU - Part 4] Tell me what you see

Aka the very self-indulgent HDM!AU only @capuciine and me care about X°D You can find the previous 3 parts on AO3 (Amo già il finale, Chapters 6-7-13)

“It doesn’t matter how many universes there are. There will always be a version of me standing by your side.”

Nico had never even dared to think he'd say such a thing, one day. And that it would be met with a blush, a playful shove and a smile.

"So you're basically telling us we're stuck with you two in every universe out there? Lucky us..." Even Delia can't really hide her astonishment at the news, and her words don't sound half as snarky as she wished they would. Especially not with her nudging Nico's hand with her head, so that he'd pet her.

Yet another thing that could only happen to them, huh? Having their dæmons looking for the touch of another human, despite the taboo on such an intimate gesture. It had happened for the first time on one of his worst days, when he couldn't even stand the sight of Agnes or Marti.

He reminded Nico of everything that he could wish for, but didn't deserve. She reminded him of the reason why, of how utterly broken he was. And then, Delia had come into the room and sat on his chest. In the shape of a red panda, his favourite. No matter how many times he'd moved her away, she'd stubbornly go back to be as close to him as she was able to.

"Nobody should be alone. Ever." She'd said, and then spent the night beside him. To think that he'd always believed Delia barely tolerated him...

"I still don't like it, when you make him cry..." She had told him, on their way to the kitchen the following morning. "But I know you're not hurting him on purpose, and that when it happens you hurt twice as much. Just like I do... And that’s enough for me."

"Oh!" Martino had said, smiling, once he saw them sitting at the table. "Look who's up, Agnes..." She'd pretended to be too busy eating from his hand to notice. Nico was too amazed at seeing Marti and his dæmon interact, to be wounded by her ill disguised indifference. "Come on now, he's just waiting for you."

"I'm sorry." He'd whispered, when she flew to the other side of the room, instead of crashing into his arms.

"You'd better be."

And then, all had been forgiven. They had both filed away Agnes and Delia's behaviour as their little miracle, thinking it would never happen again. But it did. So often, actually, that it has become a common occurrence by now. It still thrills them both, to be able to do this. To be trusted so deeply, loved so dearly.

"Tell me what you see..." Martino says, lips on his naked shoulder, snapping him out of his reverie with the gentlest kiss.

"Well, who do you want me to start with? Lucas and Eliott, Matteo and David, Cristina and Joana or Robbe and Sander?"

His Dark Materials + SVU Alternative Universe (ft Lilly Rush from “Cold Case” as well cause why not)

I posted these on Twitter a while ago, followed by headcanons and such and totally forgot to share them here. Headcanons and daemon names under the cut.

COMMISSION INFO! | YOUTUBE | SOCIETY6 | KO-FI | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER

Olivia Benson and her daemon Persephone aka “Persie”: While Liv is the impulsive side, Persie is the voice of reason Liv usually ignores, to her daemon's dismay. Persie settled pretty early when Liv was still little cause let’s say she had to grow up way too fast.  In HDM books, daemons and their humans are alike and yet very different, so Persie is Liv’s voice of reason, but also her wildest/violent side. Persephone is chill most of the time but MAN when she's pissed, things get ugly.

Nick Amaro and his daemon Alma: I have to point out that there’s a little pun in here cause Alma literally means "soul" in  Spanish/Portuguese :P. As a kid, Nick was shy and skittish (courtesy of his stupid dad), and Alma would reflect that, turning into little animals to hide in her boy's pockets. They become bolder as they grow older and at a "late" age of 16, Alma settles as a white lioness. Like all my SVU AUs, Nick is Liv's brother instead of useless Simon, whom we do not talk about lol So their daemons match because it's cute, and really fitting tbh. Alma is Nick's anxious but also caring and loving side~

Casey Novak and her daemon Florence aka Flo: As a kid, Casey was pretty much a feral child and Flo liked to turn into ugly-ass animals because they thought reactions to that were hilarious; it was not their fault adults kept asking why such a pretty girl didn't have a bunny or butterfly for a daemon :P Florence is the cuddly, extremely affectionate side of Casey.

Lilly Rush and her daemon Aysel aka Aysi: Not an SVU character, but since Nick’s actor also played Scotty from Cold Case, bringing Lilly into this AU is really cool to me. Lilly and Aysi are the most intriguing from the batch cause Aysel never actually settled *dun dun DUN*  I came up with that idea because Lilly's childhood really fucked her up and it’s literally canon that she can't really connect / form bonds with anyone because of that. I thought Aysel never settling would be a realistic reflection of how those events really affected her. However, he assumes the form of a piebald deer whenever they are out, so they won’t stand out. Aysel is Lilly’s emotional side, the one she doesn’t like to show anyone, but he’s also the “rational” side when it comes to scold her for lying to others and to herself about her emotions.

Also a side note: in this universe, Lyra and Pan did exist. She’s a child-hero from a recent past (like 100-200 years previously), and she is widely cherished and remembered as such through plays and books and other adaptations from her adventure to the North and how she saved the day. Like a Joan of Arc, but more recent and thus, more popular. However, in this universe, the whole thing about other worlds and Will Parry, Pansebjornes and witches are just “romantizations” of her adventure: they DID happen, but to the great public, these elements are just a “myth” around Lyra and Pan’s adventure.

[Skam Italia - HDM AU] Let them

Let them look. Let them think whatever they please. Let them pity you, because your nature is as fickle as the weather in the spring time. Let them say you refuse to grow up, refuse to settle, refuse to conform and have

They don't know what you've seen, since you first caught glimpses of the Dust when you were only ten. Names like Willam Parry and Lyra Silvertongue mean nothing to them.

They aren't aware of other worlds, other dimensions, other Nicos who have been alone for so long - without even the comfort of having their own Agnes... It used to drive you mad that you didn't have anyone you could talk about about this. About those different universes, and those people who could be you but aren't...

You made peace with it, by now.

Eliott, David, Sander, Joana - it's such a pity you can't talk to her, since she's the one you feel the strongest connection with, whenever you see her - and Even are your little secret: that is the way it has to be, unless you want to be sent to the Sanctuary again.

"We are never going back there, don't worry." Agnes purrs, rubbing around your legs. "I can turn into a dragon and set whoever tries to lay a finger on you on fire."

"I really hope it won't ever come to that but thanks, I appreciate it." You pick her up, placing her on your lap as you draw a new tattoo for your portfolio. There can never be too many raccoons cuddling with hedgehogs, little vampires, or vials of antidotes for a poisoned giraffe... right? And you wonder if you're ever going to have an Isak, a Matteo, a Robbe or a Cris. Maybe not, maybe you're not meant to.

It's for the best, perhaps, because it would break you to meet someone like that and then end up losing them... And what's worse, you'd probably break that gentle soul as well. Cause them so much pain, with your impossible personality...

Don't spread the virus around, Nico. Keep up the facade of a friendly, bubbly, person but never let anyone get close enough to see the cracks. Don't be selfish, okay? Don't listen to those who tell you deserve a shot at happiness, a shot at finding someone who truly loves you.

Let them talk behind your back, let them say you never really tried to change. They've never loved you, anyway. They said they did, but then you were 'too intense, too mercurial, too dramatic, too exhausting". Too everything. All the time. So you removed yourself from their lives, before they could leave yours.

And now you've got to work at the damn bar - it's not too bad, really, since most people are regulars who are accustomed to your ever changing dæmon , by now - to save money for your own studio. Because there's no way you are crawling back to them, to her, asking for a loan. Never. Let them regret bringing you into miserable life.

Let them. Link to following one: WONDER

His Dark Materials + SVU Alternative Universe: 

“No matter if everyone else’s gone, I’ll always be here for you Liv. Always.”, Persephone would say to Olivia, whenever she felt her little girl needed to hear it.  

Annnnd another AU is starting, it was only a matter of time. Picked her Daemon’s name over that legendary undercover Liv did in season 8, and also for other mythological reasons, as Daemons in HDM universe usually have anyway. She totally has Gillian Anderson’s voice, because I can and why not. Posted the first drawing a few days ago and I had to draw the second one because imagine Olivia MFing Benson chasing after criminals with a fucking lioness running alongside her. YEAH, precisely my point, thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.  COMMISSION INFO! | YOUTUBE | SOCIETY6 | KO-FI | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | TWITTER
