oh. My. goD. Wow hahaha omg yeah that's- not a short one shot haha! but it is one hell of an amazing story! :)

good lord amiko where do I begin to say how splendidly you've fused the daemon/HDM elements into this Big Hero 6 au, or that your writing style is one of the best I've ever ever read and your descriptions and character voices are so sound and enthralling, or that you've captured a beautiful essence of the world and used it magnificently to create your own!

wow. just. wow. You are marvelous my friend. I can say no more beyond that, because I cannot truly express how amazing I know you are and how awe-inspiring this story is.

OMGOSH this is so amazing seriously I LOVE how you incorporate them in this daemon au I have always love the golden compass series and the concept of having your own daemon
I really like the choice of daemon you chose for each character seriously this was amazing I haven't read the golden compass series in a long while but basically there was a lot of conflicting feelings the fact that tadashi involuntary touch Turen just you shouldn't touch another person daemon at all right? I was just trying to interpret/remember .
Anyways awesome job on this think i might go read more of your stories hehe becoming one of my favourite authors
Btw I found this story initially on Archive of our own but I thought i might put my comment on here :D

Nice!

Ah, that was great! Wasabi's daemon being a chinchilla confused me at first, but then I was like, "Oh, that is so true!"
The others' daemons were quite fitting as well.
And, of course, the fact that Callaghan's plan was cut short. That was fun, haha.

Daemon AUs are always so interesting :)

Ok wow this was amazing! I wanna read the Golden Compass now, :O and I'm interesting to learn more about daemons, now I every fandom needs to have a daemon au! It's so cool. Thanks for making it so long. Quick question though, maybe I didn't catch it well or something but why they were worry about the fact Tadashi touched Hiro's daemon?
The animals for each person was so fitting. Tadashis being a dog and Hiro's a wolf is perfect, because both are loyal protectors. The difference is that Hiro's spirit is wilder than Tadashi's so that's why a wolf matches his personality better.
I would read more of this world at any time, any day.

That image of Turen being mobbed by all the other daemons was just adorable, and I imagine she was taking it about as well as Hiro. And I will be so, so sad if Honey Lemon's daemon isn't just the brightest, gaudiest parrot in all of history.

This was really different, and a lot of fun; thank you for writing it!

I've never fully seen The Golden Compass but this makes me want to. :D That's a good thing. c:

YOOO I've never heard of daemons before but I am converted to the love of daemon AUs now :O i have like. a million pointless questions about how daemons work though xD i thought they were just normal animals and then suddenly one of them spoke and I did a double take like wait wut xD what I got was they seem to be like extensions of the human's self but also separate beings at the same time? super interesting concept. You don't have to explain anything but I just love the fantasy feeling this gave me idk c: ((alsoiwantadaemonSTAT)) I thought everyone daemons fit them really well too! Tadashi is the epitome of loyalty (I think his name even means loyal?) so a German shepherd is surprisingly perfect.. And Mochi as Cass' lol. DEFINITELY GoGo having a cheeta fit. I don't know how but the most perfect match in my mind was Krei's assistant lady having a greyhound. I don't even know but it fits so well xD also Turen! Her personality reminded me somehow of Beatrice from Over the Garden Wall. Which i don't know how I made that connection but I think it fits Hiro at least in my mind? xD I loved Hiro being a wolf in the end the same as Callaghan but for different reasons! I noticed that with the movie they did have similar motives. The difference being Hiro had people to pull him back. He's not a 'lone wolf' as Tadashi pointed out c: which is a sweet connection.
Loveeee the plot divergence- I mean besides Tadashi being alive which BLESS YOU for that also though (and the Hiro-and-Turen-saving-him scene was good very good 10000% good)- of Callaghan following them home from the warehouse and then proceeding to be a jerk face. I was not expecting that. Much more concise plot for sure xD
I think overall it was a ride that I probably screamed on a bit too xD towards the end mainly. Nice job dude! Im so sorry for the great wall of text review.. I wasn't even going to review but then I saw it didn't have any reviews at all WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE THERE's OVER 15k WORDS HERE AND ONE OF THEM WAS GREAT? so. I'll be leaving now. THANK YOU FOR THE STORY!
