~In Which the Dragons Convene While the Mage is Lost in Thought~
"How long do you intend to stay like that?"
Alfred tilted back his head to look his brother in the eye, but the younger dragon was looking at the moon. Its pale face was turned from them as if in disappointment. "What do you mean?" he hedged, bristling.
"How long will you continue to pretend?"
"I'm not pretending."
"You are."
"How am I pretending?" Alfred asked sharply, a growl in his voice.
"You're pretending that what you're doing with the human--with Arthur--isn't...isn't..."
"Normal?"
"Safe."
Alfred let out an impatient breath through his teeth. If he had had a tail, it would have been switching. "It's perfectly safe. He's perfectly safe. I would never let anything happen to him."
"But you are. You're happening to him, brother

Lurker anon here~
Here's some suggestions if the Author anon needs ideas - Somehow Arthur's relationship with Dragon Alfred is discovered by the villagers. They drive him out of the village, calling him a heathen. Angst ensues. Maybe the Badfriend Knights could have some involvement too. - There are other, meaner, bigger dragons who try to eat/kidnap Arthur. Maybe there could be some angst and/or fight scenes with Alfred trying to protect Arthur from the other dragons?
Yes, this Anon is a big angst whore.
Just suggestions, you don't have to use them if you don't want to :) Please let Arthur and Alfred stay together, this Anon has become so attached to this AU XD

Thanks so much for the suggestions! They honestly never occurred to me, but I do like them. Yes. I'm quite sure there will be angst, one way or another, before this thing comes to an end.
Thanks again for the suggestions and the reading. x3 I'm so glad you're enjoying it.

I'm so glad you're working on this. I hope you don't mind a few more suggestions?
This idea is vaguely inspired by a myth mentioned in the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. The book mentions a mythical story in which a man who swallows a pearl from a dragon's treasury turns into a dragon himself. It would interesting to see Arthur transform too. Perhaps through a spell or artifact? Or perhaps some sort of tragic accident in which he dies and magic revives him giving him the form of a dragon? The concept seems to work in my mind. >_I'm also liking the idea shared by lurker!anon. Other dragons discover the fact that Arthur has some magical abilities and they ended up stealing him away, forcing Alfred to fight for him. Dragon!Alfred VS IceDragon!Russia? lol Draconic Cold War XD

another anon here, i second the cold war idea <3 also, i just had this idea in my head for dragon!russia- instead stealing treasure like other dragons, he likes to go looking for innocent humans, freezing them, and hoarding them in his cave. sort of like the pokemon froslass XD perfectly sadistic for russia's character

I don't really care what you do with it anon, as long as it has a happy ending and updates again soon. :D I'm quite curious as to how Alfred'll react when Arthur asks to leave...I figure either he's going to flat-out refuse, or completely take it the wrong way.
"Alfred, I need to go home..." "Sure! When do we leave? :D" "..........Alfred......you're not coming with me." "...lolwut?"

The above should be XXVI; before that, XXV; and before that, XXIV.
Sorry, all. I'm a little... *gesture*

(Also, yay, Temeraire!)
I especially love the idea of a Draconic Cold War. xD Seriously, when I read that, I started grinning from ear to ear.
Ah, so many ways this could go...!
Thanks for reading, reviewing, and suggesting. I'll do what I can to sort out the path and get the next chapters up as soon as possible.
