#wip the prince and the dragon

Beta Opportunity Opening Soon!

In an effort to, you know, actually publish more, I am working on a short story/novella about a trans prince who hatches a dragon. I am seeking beta readers for the first three chapters to check in with the following points:

Is the story interesting? Do you care about the characters enough to want to know what happens next?

Is the writing suitable for 4th/5th grade (9 to 11 year old children)?

See my website for contact information if you are interested. You can also join my discord server by following me on Patreon (no pledge required) as I also communicate with beta readers through discord.

⭐PRINCESS RAYLA⭐

Playing around imagining what an older Rayla might look like (a total excuse to draw her in a dress).

I think she's between 25 and 30 here, got a bit to get used having the title as the first elven princess of The Pentarchy. The earrings are a reference to her Arc 2 concept art but for a lot of reasons it made sense they scrapped the idea so I HC that when the war is over and she doesn't have to fight anymore she will let her hair loose, wear jewerly and pretty dresses (ofc all gifted by Callum since we know how babygirl is).

Her back is open because Callum wants to enjoy the view

[zuppizup]

With the revelation that Rayla likes romantic books, coupled with Callum's love for non-fiction, I am filled with the sudden urge to write a Rayllum bookshop AU.

Seven Snippets for Seven Writers

I was tagged by @queen-tashie to share seven writing excerpts and tag seven writers to do the same. I have decided to find some favorite humorous scenes that I don't think I've shared before. Have fun!

Falconswoop's Advice, Shifting Roots

“Here Pool, let me give you some pointers,” Falconswoop said, not missing a chance to shoot Halfmask a dirty look. She crouched down next to her little brother so only he could hear her. “First, don’t let him get in your head. They know you’re new, they know Boulder is bigger than you, and they’re counting on that. Before you ever meet an enemy in combat, you have to defeat the opponent that’s in your own mind.” “Right!” Pool nodded fiercely. “How do I do that?” “By knowing that you’re bigger on the inside.” Pool blinked at Falconswoop, hoping it was one of her bad jokes. Her expression was completely serious.

2. Wrensong's Observation, a little later in Shifting Roots

“I wasn’t aware shoving kittens into the mud counted as a battle tactic.”

3. Larkwing Volunteers, Shifting Roots

“Alright, alright, I’m going.” Larkwing yawned again and gave his pelt a shake to get rid of the debris Aspenbreeze had kicked over him. “But not because we were your new-claws! We don’t have to do what you say anymore.” Dawnfrost tilted one of her ears to the side. “How odd. I could have sworn I just heard some young cat volunteer to help the Keepers clean dirty bedding out of the nursery for the next month. Was it you, Larkwing?” “What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Larkwing responded, bolting out of the rangers’ quarters with Aspenbreeze right behind him.

4. Baltan's "Accident", Echoed Thunder

Baltan still talks with his hands, waving them in front of himself even though he can’t see if they’re about to knock anything over. To his credit, he hasn’t broken anything yet except a cat-shaped vase Eureka found in the garbage, and Lleuwellyn is pretty sure that wasn’t an accident.

5. Peter Talks to the Egg, The Prince and the Dragon

“Hello, friend,” he said to the egg. “I wonder what you’ll be?” The egg did not reply.

6. Friend Meets Another Dragon, The Prince and the Dragon

“Mandrake. Like the plant?” “Not at all!” Mandrake’s smile widened, clearly pleased with himself. “I have a rider, so I gave myself the name Mandrake to honor that our ranks are men and dragons together; man, drake. You understand?” “Not entirely,” Friend replied, suppressing a laugh at his earnest excitement. “It…suits you.” Despite her best efforts, Mandrake huffed at her, a small plume of smoke rising from his nostrils. “What of you, then?” “I am called Friend.” More smoke poured from Mandrake’s nose as he laughed. “Friend is not a name.” “It is. It’s my name,” Friend returned. “And I much prefer it to something silly, like Manfriend or Frienddrake. I am a friend to all things, not only men.”

7. Christopher Disbelieves Morgan, WHiTE RABBiT

Christopher’s response was clipped and direct. “My name is Christopher Robinson. I am twenty-two years old and work as an asylum orderly in Woodrow, Oregon.” He took a deep breath, waiting for Morgan to write down his words. As if Morgan would ever forget a thing he said. “I’m not sure how I got here. I was driving to town, and then I woke up in the hospital. Can you tell me where I am, please?” “I’m not familiar with Woodrow, so you must have gotten pretty turned around out there. You’re in Wonderland.” Christopher narrowed his (gorgeous, stunning, bluer than the sky) eyes. “Be serious.”

Smth smth tf 141 as dragon princes and they’re looking for a harem to satiate their curse but instead fall in love with human you, found during one of their conquest as they finally take over the human kingdom and you as their last and sole heir

Alas, they’re corrupt, hearts blackened ever so slowly from a curse left uncured since birth. One that has been thru timelines and only ever once undone by an unnamed and banished forefather-- forgotten and erased by time for shame for what they did.

But once they chanced on the opportunity to hold you in their arms, they felt like they could breath easier— heart lighter of the chains that bind it

Though not all is well on your end, from the distasteful looks of the other people in their harem to the mistreatment of the servants onto you, you’re left spiting the very men who caused your people’s downfall

Your compassion holds you still of ill will, but the burn of watching your home crumble lingers and overthrows those empathetic emotions

So you’re avoidant, doing everything possible to get enough funds and escape the castle

Yet the dragons are insistent, loving the chase even, as they revel in the feeling of catching you and entrapping you in their chambers once more

Its a nightmarish cycle until the darkness no longer lingers above the land of the princes

Mind and hearts now clear of any curse— and they are free.

Except you aren't.

You’re still trapped.

But now that they’re more willing- you use this to your advantage, lure them into a false sense of security, doing anything of their whims just to get them to trust you

After awhile, you do get that opportunity, but are now held back by the memories you shared with them, goal now blurry as do the lines from that define them as good or bad in your tale.

They are bad! You convince yourself.

But that wasn’t truly them— they were cursed. The other voice in your speaks.

Pushed onto a life they had no control over, just. Like. You. It continues to debate.

And this one moment of hesitation ruins everything.

Plans foiled and back to step 1 you went.

A/N: blurbies from all the manhwa inspired stuff i read before kjdsfkjdlkf (masterlist of my other stuff 'cause i swear i have proper format brainrot on other stuff there)

[chaosvelaryon]

Without his brother-wife and the muña of his son he felt more alone than ever. with fire and blood he vowed to bring his lover home.
