Dæmonverse Masterlist
As an introduction, everyone's dæmons (names, forms and the significance thereof, as well as a few paragraphs to explain what dæmons are to those who aren't familiar with His Dark Materials) are listed here. Note that fics are posted in order of internal chronology, not necessarily the order in which they were written.
Filed below is an early experiment with the idea of dæmons for House et al.: House and Wilson and their respective dæmons embark on a relationship, and begin working through the issues unearthed by the Tritter disaster.
Shifting Balances
(formerly Dæmonverse AU)Vigil
When he finds House OD’d, Wilson can’t leave.
(House/Wilson preslash)
Not Just a Puzzle
Getting together in the wake of the drugged coffee debacle.
(House/Wilson)
Warning for semi-explicit sexual content.
And Come Daylight
The morning and afternoon after.
(House/Wilson)
Accepting Limits
Wilson is changing the rules. House isn’t sure he approves.
(House/Wilson)
Having gotten the idea of how to write the characters with their dæmons, I threw canon parameters out the window and brought the societal norms of Philip Pullman's world to PPTH. This fusion of the two worlds created something much richer, and far larger, than I expected at the onset.

(adolescent!Chase, no pairing)
Appraisals and Appointments

Let it Snow
Wilson lectures House after House pulls a prank on Foreman.
(House/Wilson friendship)
