Ho Yinsen and His Daemon

MCU daemon!AU art.

Blurb about Ho Yinsen and his Common Bronzewing Pigeon daemon, Trine:
Trine is a Swiss name meaning "pure"

She was sparkling, Dust spilling from her in bright trails, and he reached up to brush his fingers over her feathers, sending more Dust flying. Tony came rushing to them, kneeling even as his own daemon, Aishe, zipped up from the confines of his suit.

They spoke, Yinsen finally able to reveal the truth of his family, saw the sadness and regret and guilt in Tony's eyes and Yinsen gave him a small smile. "Do not waste your life, Stark," he said even as Aishe fluttered down, perching lightly on his chest next to Trine, cuddling against her and trying to comfort her.

He felt Trine's amazement as his own. Aishe's touch did not hurt him nor Tony. It spoke volumes as to the trust Tony and his daemon had placed in them.

He smiled a little more, able to lift his arm long enough to lightly run a finger over Aishe's feathers. She sang softly, sadly, even as tears glistened in Tony's eyes. Looking at Tony one last time Yinsen drew a shallow breath. "Do not waste your life, Tony," he said weakly, the world fading quickly. "Live..."

The last thing he saw was Trine bursting into golden swirls of Dust.
