    Summary

    Victor Frankenstein is an unusually difficult man. Adam knows this in his bones. They've been hunting each other through the snow dense forest for months now, neither of them truly getting the upper hand.
    But when Victor decides to storm off into the wolf infested trees after an argument, Adam tries to let his creator go. To give up.
    He can't.
    He saves Victor, injured and weak and brings him to his shelter, trying his best to care for his maker even though Victor hates him.

    Summary

    Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.

     

    His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.

     

    In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.

    Summary

    Sometimes, you just need a very specific kind of support. Chilchuck totally isn't interested in providing it. Too bad for him he doesn't get a say in it.

    Disconnected vignettes of the former Touden party, focussed on the kind of unspoken support that absolutely does not come from a greedy, self-absorbed colleague.
