    Summary

    How do you hide your true nature when it walks the world beside you, for everyone to see?

    You can't. So, what then?

    Or: If Edelgard believed in signs, she’d struggle to think of one stronger than this. Dimitri’s worst moments haunt him like the ghosts. Claude is a trickster, a schemer; might as well own it. And something is Wrong with Byleth.

    Or: The daemon AU nobody asked for.

    This is how you do a HDM AU/daemon AU. Masterclass in weaving in the alternate universes lore and showing the effects of that on the canon universe and on character decisions naturally.

    Currently on ch 23.

    Summary

    Having a mythology halo was a little ominous, but at least it got the System off his back. Shen Qingqiu was way less annoyed about that than he was about transmigrating into a human in a world where swans didn't even exist.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    First fic is through an outsider POV - an oc, clearly characterised without overpowering the cast, it did take me to about the 3rd read before I realised OC was meant to be masculine initially rather than feminine, which probably just shows how well the fic presents the aspects of online fandom where self and gender are in the absolute background in the way that would be really nice to have in real life.

    Second fic is a continuation taking some of the Klavier aspects from the first fic.

    Third is unusual in that it's a podcast transcript style, which I haven't seen in a steel samurai social media fic before. When did I read enough of those for that to be a realistic sentence? I'm not even in the parent fandom for this, I keep having to Wiki various characters.

    On that note: absolutely readable without knowing the fandom, you will get more out of it if you have some familiarity with the outline of canon. Second fic may send you to the wiki if you're after more context on what's happening with Klavier, but it's clear enough from the fic what the impacts are so that's more of a bonus than needed.

    Short, meditatively sweet in an almost melancholic way; packs a lot into a small space and the last line is a killer.

    Told through social media posts including meta discussion, a rich illustration of a fandom that doesn't exist for a movie/TV series AU. Also contains descriptions of nonexistent works I'd love to read,. including some fantastic sounding fandom-academia.
