To Peril and Clay, would you consider adopting?

“Yea, I wouldn’t mind adopting!” -Clay

[clayril-incorrect-quotes]

Clay, swimming in waves at the ocean: Whee!!

Clay: *Gets hit by massive wave*

Peril, (who's sitting on the beach) to the ocean: Fuck you.

Chapter Three is up!! (read from the start here.) It's not showing up at the top of the fandom page on ao3 yet even though it should be and I don't know why but oh well, maybe I'm just being impatient </3

(edit: it's showing up properly now, I was, in fact, just being impatient lol)

Truer words have never been spoken Anon!!!!!!!! Yes yes yes this is exactly it thank you.

I have liked the ship Cleril since the very beginning. Yes, I know that Peril is very toxic in her mannerisms, but I still feel like she can improve, and she already has! By the tenth book she's learned to not put Clay on a pedestal and trust in other dragons besides him. Obviously they shouldn't get in a relationship right away, but I think they'd be a good couple after a few years of healing.

Also, people don't focus on Clay's side of the ship enough. He's seen Peril grow and change for the better, and she was the first real friend he had outside the mountain. Plus (getting into headcanon territory now), I've noticed that a lot of dragons think that his entire personality is food. The other dragonets of destiny are not exempt from that; assuming that the books are warped in the protagonist's limited perspective, all Tsunami, Glory, and Starflight think of Clay as the food-obsessed guy first and the bigwings second. Even Moon and Qibli’s POVs do that too! Yet Clay's own book portrays him as a complex character, and Sunny sees him as her protector and likely-favorite sibling, so her book is more representative of Clay's actual mannerisms. But he's still a foodie, because of course he is.

Then we get to Peril’s book. Of all the times that Peril talks about Clay, when does she mention any food? Exactly once: when she jokes about Clay sighing because he wants a goat. Literally every other time, she's thinking about his big heart, bravery, and compassion, or all the things Clay wanted other dragons to see when they meet him, rather than his initial internalized monstrosity.

And yes, we all know that Clay likes food. It's the only thing anyone can think about. But that does not define him, and Peril seems to understand that, albeit subconsciously. Through that, I think they can bond even more, and not just because "he can help her". They lift each other up and constantly support one another when no one else is. That, in short, is why they're my favorite Wings of Fire ship.

TLDR: Cleril isn't just a "he can fix her" relationship. Trust me.

Clay: I'd rather kiss you than die!

Peril: [gives him an offended and hurt look]

Clay: That's a compliment!

Looking back on my childhood OTP’s and damn, even back then I had good taste

[wings-of-waffles]

you know my problem? out of all of the seas upon seas of Clay content out there, canon and fanon alike, there are only a few precious drops of content that explores him in his depth and treats him like a real person.

and in the content where Clay is even remotely close to his ideal, human characterization, there is an even smaller fraction of that where he needs somebody else to comfort him rather than being the one to comfort.

which leads me to believe that, both in canon and in the enigmatic soup of fanon, Clay is not getting the hugs or support or compensation he needs. bro needs support too! it's my headcanon that he has loads of stuff internalised about not letting his friends worry about him he needs to work through! my poor sad little man he's been through so much!!

which is also part of my "Ceril/Clayril can be made 10x better by having Peril comfort Clay and vice versa in equal amounts" propaganda, but that's only a microchasm of the greater issue.

so yeah more Clay-centric content, please. i'm starved for content and i don't want to make it all myself.

[wings-of-fire-confessions]

Moonbli and cleril are very similar in the way that qibli and peril constantly obsess over their love interest due to their childhood abuse and trauma. However the main difference is that moonwatcher actually cares and acknowledges these tendencies and loves him back, while clay is just kinda clueless and shows little to no romantic interest back. Theyre both not that great but clayril is significantly worse imo
