"But you know, I rather like the idea of you as one of those beasts. Wouldn't that look nice for the clan, Hanzo? A living, breathing dragon, chained to a post in the gardens." (Art included!)

I wish there was a better way to separate the additional tags on tumblr, haha, but another Yeehan fic! And it’s another doozy of a wordcount!!
I really love Crown of Thorns. For me personally, it’s really hard to write a Dragon!Hanzo fic without it feeling...too on the nose? Too trite? But the author did it very well! It’s an interesting concept, and in the Blackwatch era of Cole’s character (my favorite!), so we get that nice clash of Young Scion meets Cowboy Special Ops.
I know longfics can be intimidating to a lot of people, myself included if I’m not in the mood, but I really do recommend it! Each chapter is roughly around 2,000 words on average, so it’s a nice “couple of chapters a night” sort of fic. Or a “binge it between 2 and 6 AM” fic.
Also! There’s a fanart blog for it, if you wanna whet your palate......
