the cornfield and the crooked scarecrow by awkwardtuatara

Summary
“Perhaps at one point the Masters of the Mystic Arts were the defenders of the universe, but in recent years we have become weak,” Stephen’s voice says harshly, “like a crooked scarecrow amidst the cornfield of energy that is our universe, relying on the memory of past achievements to deter invaders. And the crows are starting to learn what they can get away with. If something does break through, would you rather someone with her powers be protected and on our side, or vulnerable to be used by the first demon that comes along?”

Discworld Daemons by Ololon

Summary
This crossover idea just came to me whilst I was reading La Belle Sauvage, and I could not help but run with it for the fun of it. What if the Discworld characters had daemons? This is just a fun fic which mostly involves squeezing too many people in and tormenting Vimes.
