    Summary

    Everyone agreed that he'd been such a promising kid before he'd settled. But that hadn't lasted long: his soul had declared herself to be entirely the wrong sort of animal. He was not a home-loving house mouse; nor even a house sparrow, happily rubbing shoulders with his brothers; he was weasel-souled, and that meant an uncomfortable husband.

    Or,

    In a world where your soul is represented as an animal familiar, half-foots have mouse and sparrow souls - and are nearing extinction. Chilchuck Tims has a least weasel daemon. This is the first stone in a landslide.

     

    This a DaemonAU and standalone companion to His Delicious Materials. No prior knowledge of His Delicious Materials or His Dark Materials required.

    Summary

    Nalis had not felt the weight of his own omissions so keenly since he had heard secondhand, weeks after his recovery, that the Archduke Maia’s entire household had been lost to plague, and that he was presumed as dead as they were– that he was missing, and that perhaps there would be a reward if he were found, and that there were men venturing into the Edonara to trawl for his corpse.

    The fact that Prince Idra had made the order a request– that he’d clearly realized he had no real recourse against Nalis if he refused– 

    Csevet was visibly horrified, stifling himself from correcting the emperor’s phrasing. Nalis caught his eye, trying to seem loyal and reassuring, and said to Prince Idra, “Serenity, we are entirely at your service.”
