... So. I have recently decided I love Golden Compass/His Dark Materials crossover AUs. By which I mean mostly This Other Series, Just With Daemons. I don't care as much about the characters or plot, I just want to export the concept.
(the His Dark Materials story rests onto the idea that in some universes human beings have an "external" soul, which takes the shape of an animal. The animal is usually the opposite gender of its person, and it can shift between species until puberty, where it settles into its definitive form, which depends on the person but can be just about anything, insects included. There's a huge taboo against a human touching a daemon, unless you're... well, soulmates, because it feels icky and wrongwrongwrong.)
I have wasted the last five or six hours hunting down FF7 bestiaries for pictures and trying to match all the characters i could think of to their proper animals. And then NAMING those animals. This includes characters like Heidegger, Elmyra and Zangan. Yeeeah. :/
Anyway. I have no clue, this kind of wrote itself. There will likely be a few more scenes but I don't foresee a multipart from this. I have no real plot and thinking through the repercussions seems exhausting; it just seems shiny right now.
