Um. I need more of this, like now. ;-P. I really enjoyed it. One of my mottos is everything is better with dragons. so yeah. I love Pike and Bones knowing each other.
I have to admit that one of my thoughts was, "Oh, so Jim's a bronze rider? What's it going to be like if he hooks up with Bones, and then a mating flight happens?"
I read a Pern fic the otherday where there was the exact same problem, so I have some ideas of how to deal with it. ;) Though I was under the impression that dragons mated for life. Can the mates switch everytime a queen flies?
mates can, indeed, switch with every flight. The weyrfolk are a lot more open when it comes to sex and relationships. McCaffrey has written more than a few things on how relationships and mating flights work out. Basically it boils down to the queen generally picks her mate and lets him catch her in the flight. But some faster brighter bronze could always win. that's why weyr-leaders are sometimes threatened when a new bronze comes in. Who the riders mate with between flights, however, is totally up to the riders.
ps. I loved this idea, and I'm curious to see where you go with it!
