A/N: Hey everyone, uh so this is my first fic!

I'm reading the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman (again I need to stop, send help) and I found recently that I just couldn't stop thinking about what each character's dæmonwould be. Seriously, this has gone on for weeks, every single fictional character ever just HAS to have a dæmon in my mind :))))

So anyhow I had a bit of shingeki no kyojin mixed with some Flymo-chan brain vomiting and BAM this fic suddenly appeared. I know it probably won't have much of an audience, but we're all here for the laughs right... :)

This chap was so hard to write because I had to relive the pain of Eren's childhood (I'm still recovering)

All reviews and feedback are greatly appreciated :)

BTW: to understand this you probably have to have a bit of basic knowledge about how dæmons work and such, but you probably already do if you're here!

Disclaimer: I do not own Shingeki No Kyojin or His Dark Materials

Enjoy (pheew, what a long note for such a short fic)


Eren Jaegar changed forever on that tragic day, and so did his dæmon. That tragic hour when he lost everything. That heart-stopping minute when his soul was torn apart.

Only moments before it happened, Eren and Aeliana, his dæmon, were young and innocent. The inseparable pair were playing outside with Mikasa and Armin, Eren's best friends.

That was when the lighting slashed open the sky and the Colossal Titan appeared. Aeliana flitted from form to form, filled with a burning fear. With Mikasa and Armin by his side, Eren raised his head to the sky. That was when he saw it, the impossible hand grasping the wall, the gargantuan red head and the merciless eyes of the titan amidst the billowing pillars of steam. Aeliana became a cricket, her smallest form, on his shoulder and cowered. Time seemed to stop as all the people around froze in shock. The moment seemed to last for decades as the horrible reality slowly descended on the people of Shinganshina.

Suddenly an explosion shook the world, consuming everything around the trio. The shockwave toppled buildings and sent debris the size of horse drawn carts flying through the air like deadly drops of rain. The giant titan had kicked a whole in the wall more than 15 meters high. And then it disappeared as soon as it had appeared. That was when the smaller titans began pouring through the wall and flooding the city with death and chaos.

"My house is over there..." Eren muttered in a horrified trance, "Mum is…"

Eren's thoughts went straight to his mother as the first titans were sighted through the newly made hole. His house was on the outskirts of the city, right where the explosive force of the kick had hit hardest. Even then Aeliana was changing at a speed like never before. Eren legs seemed to move by themselves and suddenly he was off sprinting straight towards the incoming titans. Mikasa sprung into action beside him but he hardly seemed to notice. Aeliana sprinted ahead as a cheetah, then a falcon, then a hare, pulling the bond between Eren and her to its limit. He heard a faint call from Armin behind, but his mind was focused on one thing only, getting to his Mum. Mikasa and Eren pushed through the stampede of people all pushing the other direction to get away from the titans. Aeliana turned back to Eren, now in the form of a swallow

"Our house is definitely safe!" she called over the screams "Once I make this turn, our house will be there like always!"

Eren felt her shock as Aeliana swung a sharp left, before he had even turned the corner. The house Eren had spent his whole life in, played in, slept in, was lying in ruins. A figure was collapsed in the middle of the wreckage.

Eren, Mikasa, and their dæmons sprinted onwards until they reached their house. His mother was trapped under a heavy beam of wood from the roof of their house, and a huge boulder was crushing her legs with no chance of escape.

Yet Eren didn't even hesitate. He sprung forwards into action and Aeliana became a mountainous brown bear. Mikasa, who was next to him, gripped a part of the wood in shocked silence and the kids and their dæmons heaved with all their might but the wooden beam didn't even quiver.

At the end of the street a horrific lumbering figure was making it's way towards the group. Each footstep shook the earth and rang through the buildings. The smell of blood and the iron tang of fear was so thick Eren could hardly breath. His mother was yelling, pleading with them to run and leave, but her words fell on deaf ears.

"My legs have been crushed by the debris," She whispered horrified. "I can't run even if I get out."

But Eren and Aeliana did not stop heaving at the beam.

A whip like sound of steel cut through the air and suddenly there was a man standing behind them and Eren's mum was pleading with him and he only nodded stoically before seizing the two kids by the waists and hoisting them over his shoulders. The tall man in some sort of uniform, turned and fled without a backwards glance. Eren kicked and fought with fang and nail, falling with all his might against the man.

"Mum is still trapped under there!" He howled.

Aeliana was fighting his dæmon which was some sort of large dog. She bore down upon it with tooth, feather and claw, changing forms so fast it was almost invisible to the human eye. Bobcat, wolf, vulture, leopard, coyote, eagle. But it was no use the man kept on running away, taking Eren further away from his mother.

"Live on!" She screamed to her child who she would never see again.

And then the titan was upon her. It tore the beam away as easily as a toothpick, reached into the ruined house and picked her up like a doll. Eren watched the whole scene, paralysed with horror. His mother lay limp but he heard her last scream as the bond between her and her earth-bound dæmon reached its limit. She struggled with all her might but it was useless. Her legs that were once full of life swung like dead weights beneath her.

The titan held her up to it's grinning face and broke her spine with one motion. Her dæmon snuffed out of existence like a candle. She was dead. Even then Aeliana dove to Eren's chest as a cat. It was only then, when the smiling titan clamped down on her lifeless corpse with concrete jaws, that Aeliana made her final change ever.

Eren felt it in his burning in the carnage of his heart, that she had settled, just as his determination had. Eren would kill all the titans, he knew within him, he would kill every last one. Aeliana knew as well and growled and snarled and spat in her new form, a cross between a wolf and a bear, a wolverine. She was a blinding tornado of claws and wild fur and even wilder eyes.

That was the tragic moment when Eren Jaegar and his dæmon changed forever more.


So that's it I guess, thanks for reading

Do you think I got Eren's dæmon right, as a wolverine? What would you have put it as?!
