Copy pasted from a google doc so the formatting’s a touch weird. Bolded text was the other person’s contribution (mostly they asked questions)
hiro’s a human, Baymax and the Nerd Herd are dragons
hiro gets basically adopted by the dragons who aren’t considered people by humans
Cass and hiro (and hiro’s parents) got kidnapped at some point hiro escaped and ended up with the dragons, they raised him and Fred probably took him into SF frequently (on a leash so people’d think that his parents had a tame dragon who was taking the kid out on a walk) so he knows draconic, japanese and english. cass just thinks he died with his parents.
and then hiro starts to make stuff with the dragons, like saddles for tadashi and baydrake. (so that they can go flying with him).
hiro’s night vision is much better than a dragon’s so after a while they get horn reins (reins on the horns-gentle pressure is felt, does not impede ability to speak (although they CAN only speak Draconic), and honey lemon makes them into high draconic fashion, with like fancy tassels and stuff. (they’re sapient dragons but their forepaws are like lemur feet or birdy feet.)
Soon every dragon in the group has got horn tassels, but baydrake (dragon baymax) and tadashi can go on night-time flights with Hiro guiding them. The saddle’s got attached boot thingies that have adjustable straps up to about the knee. The dragon can feel every movement Hiro makes. The signals for movements are lightly shake the reins to tell the dragon to speed up, tug gently on one to tell them to turn that way, tug gently on both to tell them to slow down, extend the legs to tell them to tilt ‘up’ (relative to them) and bend the knees to tell them to go ‘down’. Bending/extending one leg results in a roll or a tilt. (signals shamelessly stolen from wild sweet and cool)
and then something happens and suddenly baydrake is blinded (oh no) and hiro ends up being his seeing eye human and also a dragon/human translator.
(It’s not a medieval AU, it’s still set in the same time period as normal BH6)
tadashi is a dragon cass is human. Tadashi’s not a water dragon, but he IS sort of like an eastern dragon (his father was an easter his mother a western) so he’s got the body to be good at swimming and he probably does swim a lot.
Fred on humans: ‘they’re SO COOL, just LOOK at this little tiny one with his hands, LOOK AT THEM they’re so SMALL imagine making stuff with hands like THOSE’ dragons sort of have handpaws
since FRED wants to be a dragon what if complete role reversal, dragon fred wants to be human haha tries walking on two legs and stuff. yaaass LOOK AT THESE HANDS THEY HAVE THUMBS and instead of the mascot costume he makes little gloves with fake thumbs on it
