Daemon AU - Charles/Erik or Gen anonymous June 11 2011, 01:08:42 UTC
I'm not sure if this has been prompted yet, but how about the fandom favorite: a daemon AU.

This could be taken so many places. Does Banshee have a flying daemon that was ecstatic when her human gained the ability to fly (a bat, perhaps, given his sonar abilities)? Does Beast have a monkey daemon? Can Raven's daemon shift forms still, or are daemons unaffected by mutations? Do they turn up in other ways? i.e. weird coloring, having the same gender as their humans...

And for the love of all that is holy, someone please tell me what Erik and Charles' daemons would look like.

Can be gen, but if there is a pairing, please let it be Charles/Erik.

So, this is my first X-Men: First Class fic. And I'm not exactly sure how long it's going to be (with me, things tend to turn into epics). But I hope you enjoy it.

i.Meeting Charles the first time, it would be easy to envision him as the type to possess a lamb daemon. He’s soft around every edge-his physique isn’t plump, but it certainly lacks the muscle characteristic of an athlete. He dresses himself in age-frayed argyle sweaters and well-loved tweed jackets. His hands are smooth and aristocratic; his eyes are wide and baby blue and just this side of innocent. Taking in his dark, feathery curls and the kind set of his smile, it isn’t hard to imagine an adoring, knobbly-kneed sheep would be following on his heels ( ... )

You can’t. An accented voice rattles through his head, and Erik jolts into awareness, feeling something skim across the surface of his thoughts, wrap itself around his memories. You’ll drown. You have to let go. He’s suddenly so aware-he knows Anselm instinctively, but there’s a new presence. No, two new presences. The one speaking to him and, as an extension of that connection, its daemon. He’s suddenly himself and Anselm and this stranger and the daemon. He can feel the tug of metal in his bones, in his teeth; he can feel his fingers wrapped around sodden wool and his forearms holding onto a ribcage covered in black fur, a heartbeat stuttering against the heel of his paw . It’s so much, too much-

I know what this means to you, but you’re going to die. The stranger implores, and Erik tries to get a good look at him, but his mind is being pulled in too many directions at once. He can’t let go, he can’t, he needs to-

Please, Eric, calm your mind. A new voice soothes. This one is feminine, warm, and regal. It rings with a weight the ( ... )

Oh my, this is a beautiful start! That "lions who lie with the lambs" / "wolves in sheep’s clothing" comparison, asdfghjkl;

Can't wait for more!

Wow, I'm blown away by your responses, guys! Thanks so much for all the lovely comments. Also, just as a heads-up, I decided to change the Roman numeral breaks into dashes because otherwise we'd get up to at least one hundred before we're done with this. Hope you enjoy this update!The first thing that greets them when they’re dragged on board the Coast Guard ship is a furious hissing ( ... )

Charles grimaces, rubbing his shoulder. “Now, Raven-“ he begins, and Helena finally moves to get up, rolling onto her stomach in a manner that makes her attacker reluctantly spring away. He walks stiffly over to join his human, regarding Helena with exasperated fondness as the lioness slinks over to Charles’ side.

“Don’t you ‘now, Raven’ me!” she snaps, crossing her arms over her chest and scowling. “You could’ve died“Something Bran made abundantly clear, trust me,” Charles soothes, casting an amused glance down at the cat daemon, who simply rolls his eyes and refuses to meet the man’s gaze. Raven harrumphs, scowling at the ground before she finally notices Erik and Anselm from where they stand awkwardly a few feet away, dripping on the ship’s deck ( ... )

Anselm shifts next to him, rolling over and settling his head down between his paws to look at Erik. “I’m surprised you thought the CIA would waste more than the minimum amount on us,” he rumbles darkly. “After all, why would you go out of your way to keep the lesser species comfortable ( ... )

Yay, there's more! For some reason I thought it ended after two parts and I was sad because I wanted more and now there IS more, whee!

Man, as much as I disliked the Dark Materials series, I love love love daemon!AUs, and this one just about takes the cake.

I'm giddy from the awesome :D HDM fusions will always be my one true love, I think. The daemons you chose them fit SO WELL. You can't get more "lone wolf" than Erik.

his dark material AUs are some of my faves, omg ♥♥ this is gorgeous so far! :) i love that charles' daemon is a lioness, haha. also it's interesting that anselm is male, because, to my memory, daemons sharing the same gender as their humans is a rare thing. hm.

anyway, looking forward to more of this :)
