But I’m A Cat Person AU for Leif & Thorn — where Thorn becomes master of the Cat, and calls him Leif.
They meet when Thorn is in his canon recovery from dragon burns. He was in line to get a soulbonded cat, but that plan got shelved when he ended up with a Being instead. Leif mostly appears as a modified Norwegian Forest Cat, because of course.
___
– Thorn in the burn ward, rocking the full-body pressure garments.
– The Cat, whose Master is in the next ward over. When she dies, the Cat seeks out Thorn, who makes the Contract.
– Thorn in the next stage of rehab, with his hair growing back.
– Names the Cat the Iudish word for “Life”…because of the pronunciation, non-Iuilic people assume it’s the Sønska name “Leif.”
Pros of this AU: Cat!Leif.
Cons of this AU: No Tiernan.
The Hebrew word for cat is “Chatul” pronounced cha-tool with the Hebrew chhhhh that actually sounds like a cat coughing up a hairball! Coincidence? I think not…
