Title: For My Wings I've Been Searching
Author: Red Fiona
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters; CLAMP do. No money being made from this.
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Character: Fai and the rest of the TRC gang
Ratings/Warning: PG-12 gen fic with background Fai/Kurogane. Set post series so some spoilers.
Notes: Written for the lgbtfest 2013 prompt "Crossover: His Dark Materials fusion with any fandom, It’s hard to be closeted when people can tell what you are just by looking at your daemon."
Summary: When they travel to different worlds, they try to blend in as best they can. They normally don't manage it, adventure and incident seeks them out. Fai wants to know what it is that makes them stand out on this world.

End notes: I didn't want to write this as "character has always had a daemon", because I think that would change the character so much and how their society does things. The best Daemon fusion fics take that into account (brief pause here to rec Andraste's Dr. Who daemon fusion fic), and someone else could probably do really interesting thing with the prompt taken that way, but I wanted to look at it from the direction of what would the characters notice as the major difference.
Which meant I had to use characters who could world/reality hop.
Once I'd decided that, the TRC crowd sprang to mind.
Lizard was the first daemon I decided on. I got a flash of Kurogane and a lizard, big squat shoulders and all, moving in sync, and that was that. Lizard, as you might have guessed, is a Komodo dragon.
I knew Syoran's daemon had to be small, and a cricket was a clear choice after that. Her name is Miu which means feather, because I like to keep the theme from the manga.
Fai's daemon was always going to be a bird. I was desperately looking for a very feathery bird that could flap. Looking through Russian birds, because Fai's speech bubbles are filled with Cyrillic when Mokona isn't present, I found the Aleutian tern (which is what Dimochka is most of the time) and thought, "yeah, that's it," then I saw a picture of a Himalayan vulture and went, "oh!" So yes, you won't like Dimochka when he gets angry, and that helped set up some of what plot there is.
