    Summary

    Dragons left the realm long ago and only stories and bones remain of what once were the magnificent beasts, dragons are merely a glory of the past now but... what if not all the dragons died off? What if a singular dragon egg had hatched on accident one night, and by the will of The Seven, the small hatchling was gifted with the ability to change forms, to hide amongst the people it once soared above?

    -

    What if the Prince the realm deemed insane and deluded was actually true in his claim that the symbol of his house remained strong? What if he had a deep soul aching pull in his heart due to being apart from his destined bond, the dragon he should soar the skies with and become one with.

    ; Dunk is a dragon shifter and Aerion may not be as insane as he is thought to be. Maybe everything will make sense when two halves meet and become a whole.

    Summary

    He looked damn good. He could just act like this was what he wanted.

    How hard could it be?

    When Sanji is sold off to an idiot alpha named Roronoa Zoro for a business deal, he is sure he has traded one hellhole for another. But he starts to realize he might not need to resign himself to a miserable existence. Maybe Zoro is the only chance he has at happiness. If only he could get past his shitty personality.

    Summary

    "You must not name it," Maker said. "There is magic in your blood that will awaken upon the naming of a dragon egg. These eggs will never hatch, and this magic will become nothing but emptiness inside you. Do you understand me? There are no more dragons."

    Daeron sniffled. It was as easy for his heart to break as it was to mend. He nodded. "Yes, father."

    "Aerion?" Maekar's eyes had not left his second son. "Do you understand?"

    Aerion stared at the mottled teardrop in his hands. It took all his strength just to hold it. He could not imagine a greater loss than withholding its name, but his father was wise and loved him, so Aerion begrudgingly agreed.

    "Yes."

    But he could not stop it. As he walked back around the long table to his seat, the name rushed to the surface of his mind.

    Rhuqes.

    Aerion and Dunk hatch a dragon.

    Summary

    Dream wagers with Desire and loses. The price he must pay? Living out a year among humans, not in the manner of his choosing but as a married "woman", at least as far as those around him will see.

    Desire's one concession to Dream: that he may spend that year married to Hob Gadling, who didn't sign up for any of this.

    Now with art by fishydwarrows!

    Summary

    The funeral is a week later. The church is sterile and nearly empty. Bruce sits next to Alfred in the front row. His eyes are fixed on his shoes the whole time. His eyes are dull and unfocused. The speakers, for there are so many, talk and talk and talk until he thinks about screaming for them to shut up. He doesn’t care what they have to say! Alfred always squeezes his hand when he feels that very strong thought and he knows he can’t do that to Alfred because he loved his parents too.

    The last one to speak is an old priest, his dad's childhood one, he thinks. He wants to summon enough energy to look up and pay attention but the words about God’s love and kindness curdle the thoughts sour before he even manages it. God is cruel if one or more even exists.

    He thinks to himself that maybe if he were to meet one what he would do. Maybe he would shout at them until his voice was gone. Maybe he would fight them. He thinks he would make them weak though. That makes the most sense to him. If he were to make a god or more mortal then, they would be subject to the misery they created or, at the least, didn’t stop.
