Idol RPF: sings the song without the words (Adam/Kris, fusion with His Dark Materials)

For the [info]blackdress_adam challenge—a fusion with Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, inspired by (with permission!) an awesome prompt at the kinkmeme.

sings the song without the words (5300 words)
Adam/Kris, adult, explicit
Gild didn't recoil, just cocked his head to one side again. "Be nice, you," Adam said; Gild didn't say anything, just gave a loud, high-pitched shrill that made Pyri flatten her ears against her head, and then he turned and paced stately over to leap up onto Adam's bed, long tail gleaming behind him.

"I promise he won't be a little bitch all the time," Adam said reassuringly, like Kris was the one who should have been worrying, and smiled at him. "So where does that incredibly adorable accent come from, Kris Allen?"

Pyri gave a little growl under her breath, and Kris found himself stammering some when he answered. Maybe he was the one who needed to worry.

Oh my god I could almost hate you, because this was the 'verse I was considering for mine, but it's way to amazing and delicious and tactile to hate.

♥_♥
omg rubyyyyy you should write another one PLEASE PLEASE OMG, I adooooore HDM xovers!

OMG, BRADAM? :O
Hi! I'm Zara. I've read all of your fanfic in my fandoms (Supernatural, Merlin, and now his Glambertness) and I'm so sorry I've never reviewed before -- mostly I lurk. But. I had to come out of the woodwork to tell you how GLORIOUS this fic was. Just -- His Dark Materials is so incredible, and the way you fused it with modern AI was great. Adam's daemon was a PERFECT PERFECT choice, and I loved your ability to communicate the intimacy and sensuality of touching someone else's daemon without being heavy-handed. This was exactly right, in every way.
aw, thank you, that is awesome! and yay for delurking! ♥ :D
I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THIS YET BUT OH MY GOD YOU WROTE THE HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER OH MY GOD OKAY I NEED TO BREATHE AND GO READ

HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I DO
aaaaaahhh okay i'm back. and that was seriously amazing--the names for the daemons (gild!), and how you set it in this universe, and the way you added so much perfect meaning to all the little things about daemons--adam having a male daemon, and exploring the subtleties involved in touching someone else's daemon, and i have no more words. because. perfect.
...

!!!!!

* *

No. words.

::flails::
Holy crepe that was amazing fic. But now I wanna know what everyone's daemons were...
Oh my god I cant even jizjizzjizz ahhhhhhhhhhhhhAHHHHHHH

WEGHIWGEH[GESPASD;GLH


IGSHEHGWOWEGIH

BASICALLY
I have never read the books or even heard of them for that matter, but oh my god after this wonderful fic I might have to go and give them a try!

This was seriously beautiful. I wasn't familiar with the 'verse, but you made it natural and familiar and I just want to read more! And I love the choice of daemons for Kris and Adam. Just perfect. ♥
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH HDM FUSIONS ARE MY FAAAAAAAAAVORITE.

SERIOUSLY, WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE. AND OBVIOUSLY THIS ONE WAS EXCELLENT.

Question: How do you picture their daemons? What color is Pyri? Are peacocks really small enough to sit on someone's head? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.
Pyri is a snow leopard!



And a peacock with a full tail would be pretty hefty to have on your shoulder, but not unworkable for a guy Adam's size, I think (well, assuming a cooperative peacock!) The risk would be more, "WTF YOU ARE WEARING A PEACOCK" which I feel is a problem Adam would be prepared to deal with, haha. :D
That was pretty goddamn amazing. It's been a while since I've wanted a daemon (you know, since I was 12), but here we go again >.>
Adam's daemon is a peacock! That is so perfect.
Oh, that was amazing! I love love Kris and Adam's daemons. I thought that was really neat and LOL @ sniping at each others.
I like it how you made the touching the other's daemon even more taboo than homosexuality. Nice job!
I so so love HDM, and this is a gorgeous melding of the two worlds. I couldn't even breathe when Adam was stroking Pyri for the first time it was so sensual and beautiful. Amazing.
oh.
my.
god.

a;sdklfj;lskdfkldj. HDM is probably my 3rd favorite series of books. And this is just <3___________________________<3

this needs to be about 30,000 words longer...or possibly continue for my whole life so i can just roll around in it always.

oh and on the matter of their daemons? PERFECT. I think a snow leopard balances and compliments Kris's personality so accurately. the quite sneeky strength yet the tone you gave her was so right I don't even know how to describe it.

*runs aways flailing arms*

OMG. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, everything about it. When I read the part about Adam's daemon being male, I seriously went, "omg, of *course*, but no one except. astolat. would think of that. asldkjfksdjfk." Or words to that effect.XD

The whole thing about touching each other's daemons was just perfect, and so are they. <333
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

(Pardon the language, I really don't know how else to convey my reaction here. Possibly a;sdklfj;lskdfkldj but I don't feel that is quite emphatic enough.)

Kris and Adam! With daemons! Eeeeeeee! And Gild is male! And a peacock! SO AWESOME. And Pyri is a snow leopard! And she calls Brad that boy! And Gild and Pyri snark at each other!

And Adam and Kris touch each other's daemons!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

I loved this. Just in case you hadn't noticed. *g*
Oh gosh, SO, SO FANTASTIC. <33333
Oh, WOW! This is just incredible. *blinks*

So, so beautiful! A snow leopard daemon for Kris! Slightly surprising yet entirely satisfying choice. And a peacock for Adam - well of course!!!

I love love love how you made Gild and Pyri characters with such distinct voices and all the daemon interaction and the touching, OMG the touching!!!


*happysigh*
That is *gorgeous*. (Of course Adam's daemon is a peacock.) I love the way you've integrated them so well into a world with daemons, and added the don't-touch-daemons to the prejudice going on. Their characters, of course, are beautifully done. Fabulous story.
and now I'm going to have to find and read this series....

and the north american version of the third book is censored??????
Of course Adam's daemon is a peacock. And of course his name is Gild. *giggles and giggles*

I loved the slow burn. For such a relatively short story, there was an amazing amount of slow burn. \o/
Your story blew me away, as usual. This is a big pile of semi-solid melted glee that's commenting right now. (And snagging fanmixed, hee!)
seriously, daemon fic is my fucking kryptonite, and you are also my kryptonite, and TOGETHER IT'S LIKE THE GREATEST DAY EVER I CAN'T EVEN COMMENT COHERENTLY OR NON-CREEPILY SORRY ABOUT THAT SFJDL SLDKJF SDLFJ

♥_______________________♥
I'm pretty much speechless. This was amazing and the choice of the peacock for Adam's daemon was brilliant.

siiiigh

oh my god, this is amazing. I couldn't read it fast enough, and it was so perfect and beautiful. I love fusions with HDM, and you wrote the daemons in such a lovely way.

I'm all happy now, thank you so much for a lovely story.
