    Summary

    Listen now my-our ears be not-dragon, he urges, humming and filling the space between them with every shade of red and gold he can imagine. Every tiny response he gets, he weaves the color into his sunset until he can feel their minds start to braid together again. There’s still so much white, but he pushes bright-flame-reds until it melts away, leaving pale blues behind that he snatches up and paints with. Fly-fast leave NOW.

    Toothless comes back to himself, back to Them, with a startle that shakes his whole body and a growl that calls the attention of every dragon nearby to the Two-who-are-One and the human-friend clinging to Their human-half. (She reeks of fear, just for a moment while their senses are strong before They retreat into Their human-mind, shedding dragon-senses that make Them vulnerable.)

    My very own series rewrite — not because I think the movies needed changing (aside from the third), just for fun. Canon isn’t super consistent on how intelligent dragons are (which is to say, they dumb them down as the series goes on), so I decided to standardize it at “higher than the first movie”! Inspired somewhat by Jane Yolen’s Pit Dragon Chronicles because I adore the dragons in that.
