CW: Remus being Remus, calling someone an it, mentions of sex and suggestive language

------------------------------

Remus wasn't expecting this to happen at all. He was working his usual shift when all of the sudden a freaking black hole appeared under the car he was working on. He only slid closer to take a look at it before being sucked in, and now here he was, on a pile of several trinkets and gems.

He looked up to try and figure out where he had came from… but the hole was nowhere to be seen. Ok, Remus was stuck in what looked like the deposit of an antique shop, no big deal! But how was he getting out of here?

Looking down at the end of the pile, Remus carefully slid down until he touched the ground. How tall was this thing? How did anyone even get something from the top? Then the ground started shaking… oh shit, he needed a safe place to hide.

As Remus looked around he couldn't help but notice the items were so random. There were random pieces of crockery that didn't seem to go together at all, several old and rusted metals, but also a lot of jewels and coins… this really looked like a dragon’s hive, if dragon’s were real of course.

A large shadow appeared behind Remus and he slowly turned around, and looked up, and up, and up until he met the face of a motherflipping dragon! No way he actually got that right.

The dragon didn't seem to notice Remus though, what a bummer. Maybe he would get eaten if he got it’s attention? It didn't hurt to try, well it did but that was the whole point.

Remus followed the dragon to a deeper part of the… cave? Were they in a cave? They were most likely in a cave, so a deeper part of the cave. He wanted to observe it for a little while before anything happened, after all he couldn't get a chance to see a real life dragon and just run to his death instantly. He was curious!

The dragon stopped and left a bunch of items it was carrying on it’s mouth on the floor. A thin cloud of pink smoke started forming around it and Remus' mouth went wide. The dragon was shrinking? Why would it want to shrink? Remus could only imagine everything he could do if he was fifty feet tall!

It seemed to stop ar around five feet tall, but then it stood up? And was suddenly ten feet tall?! Ugh this pink cloud thing made it harder to take a good look at it.

Once the smoke started dissipating, Remus could actually distinguish the dragon’s shilouette. But it wasn't a dragon anymore.

It… they? They had changed into a humanoid figure, keeping their wings, horns and some of their scales.

Woah, they were gigantic! Not as gigantic as before but still! Oh now Remus was interested.

The giant- dragon-person picked their items back up and started leaving them across the room. Okay, it was now or never.

Remus walked closer to them, but they didn't seem to pay attention. Comparing their heights really made him feel like a child, nah not a child, he was too horny for that. Remus was so small they hadn't even noticed their presence even when they were next to each other! It was amazing! And to think this was only a four feet difference, “Hey! What are you doing up there?”

They froze, clearly not expecting a dwarf to just randomly talk to them. The giant-dragon-person looked down at Remus with a confused look, “...organizing the new items of my hoard?”

“Oh cool,” Remus nodded and looked around. He was too focused on how random every item was earlier that he hadn't noticed they all had a specific place, and it actually looked like an organized mess somehow!

The only thing Remus had as a warning was the clatter behind him before he was picked up. “W-hoa!” That certainly took him by surprise, he was turned around only to meet the dragon face to face, “uh… hi?”

They tilted their head and examined Remus closer, “are you a human? I thought they didn't exist anymore.”

“Well I still exist! Or at least I think so.” Remus let himself be handled and twisted around, the touch was so gentle he barely even noticed, “getting touchy there are we?”

The comments seemed to startle them because they immediately let go of Remus with a yelp, only to catch him only a few feet from the ground.It was quite an awkward position since they only managed to grab his leg, “sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.”

Remus shook his head, “not at all! I like it when someone gets touchy! If you know what I mean.” He wiggled on the dragon's grip with a suggestive look, trying to have sex at this size would be quite interesting.

The dragon-giant blushed and shifted their grip on Remus. They sat down, as to have less chance of him getting hurt if they dropped him. “Are all humans this… excited? No wonder why you got extinct if you have no filter.”

“I’m the one with no filter, not all humanity. But is a lot more fun this way!” Remus smiled brightly, maybe he could convince them to try having sex before eating him!

They giggled, “you look adorable when you smile like that.”

“Well I think you're huge and handsome! I usually don't bang guys taller than me, but I’ll hive it a shot because it's a special occasion.”

“Oh, is my size intimidating? I hadn't thought about that, hold on.” They left a confused Remus on the ground and closed their eyes. A pink aura surrounded them and they began to shrink again. Remus lowered his sight to follow the not so giant now-dragon’s change of size.

They opened their eyes and looked up at Remus, “woah woah enough stop!” He had quite some trouble making his magic stop.

Remus wasn't great with proportions, but they looked really small even sitting down. His suspicions were only confirmed when they stood up, at about four feet tall.

“Uh… I think I went too far.” They chuckled awkwardly.

“Okay now this,” Remus reached down and picked them up the same way they did with him before, “is adorable.”

They let out a yelp and flapped their wings to stabilize themselves, “is this how being picked up feels? I wouldn't have done it earlier if I knew…”

Remus shook his head, “it’s fine. I liked it!”

Having them like this actually helped to get a better look at them. The beautiful baby blue scales decorating their body looked so shiny! Almost like they had glitter on them! Their horns matched but had pink spots here and there, as well as the boning of his wings. And that tail! The spikes on it alternated between a darked blue and the same pink, but they were more rounded than sharp.

“Well… I don’t, can you put me down please?”

“Sure!” Remus put the dragon down and looked around again. “This is a pretty great dope collection you have going on here… uh,” when he looked back at the dragon, he was just a couple of inches taller than him, “I think we don’t know each others names yet”

They nodded, “right, where are my modals?” They chuckled and extended their hand, “I’m Patton”

Remus took their hand and shook it, “Remus. He/him pronouns.”

Paton gave him a confused look, “uh… then I guess I’m a he too”

Remus snickered “I suppose dragons don’t care about pronouns”

“We don’t,” Patton took his hand back and looked around as he thought. “At least the dragons I know don’t”

Remus tilted his head, “is there something on your mind?”

Patton looked back at him, “Oh. I’m just wondering where I could keep you, you would be perfect for my hoard!”

“Really? Why? What’s the theme of your hoard?”

Patton giggled “I collect pretty stuff”

The Human Among Dragons (1/?)

Summary: Virgil grew up a human among dragons. Patton and Logan are his Draconian parents. He’s never known the human world. And though he knows HE is different, his clan is so accommodating that he has never felt inclined to leave. Then one day, a knight enters their territory.

Read more of my writing at @hiddendreamerwriting!

——————————————————————————————————-

Virgil wasn’t an idiot. He knew he was different. While the other fledgelings had scaly armor, Virgil’s skin was still soft and unprotected. While they grew wings, Virgil was left with just the same fleshy limbs he had been born with. Whenever Virgil was caught staring down at his body Patton would be quick to assure him that “you’re just a late bloomer, I’m sure they’ll grow in soon!” Well, at least Logan didn’t lie to him like that. Virgil didn’t even resemble a baby whelp, so why on earth would he have grown up to be a fledgeling? The idea was absurd. 

Still, despite his survival flaws, Virgil’s parents didn’t love him any less. The entire tribe was more than accommodating for their weakest member. Virgil guessed that had something to do with being the chief's son, but either way his dragon family had always been nothing but kind. 

The other fledgelings were never cruel. They would exclude him from activities at times, but only when it was physically impossible for Virgil to participate- indeed, no matter how hard Virgil tried he was not capable of flight. But the games on the ground were fun. Occasionally his cousins would even take pity on him and let him win the common wrestling bouts that broke out. Patton and Logan were always nervous onlookers, but after several dozen times of Virgil assuring his dads that he was fine the dragon parents stopped hovering (literally) and allowed Virgil to interact with others on his own.

“It will be good for him to gain social skills, Lo.” Patton had suggested softly, one night when they thought Virgil was fast asleep. “If he’s going to be stuck here, I… I want him to be happy.”

Virgil didn’t know what to think about Patton’s words. He was happy here. And what was this about being stuck? Sure Virgil knew better than to try and leave the mountainside on his own, but if he was ever feeling cooped up Virgil also knew Logan would fly him down anytime for another lesson on the world below. Most of the world, anyways.

“Why don’t we ever go east?” Virgil asked one time, clutching Logan’s scales as they soared through the air. Pressed up against Logan like this it was easy to tell when his father stiffened. 

“It’s dangerous.” Logan replied. “Human civilizations are no place for a dragon.”

That seemed like strange logic. Virgil had never met a human before, but he was a firm believer that dragons should be allowed to go anywhere and do anything. After all, Logan was a freaking dragon. A proper one, with fire and wings and scales. Nothing in the entire valley could ever stand up to him- so why did Logan seem afraid?

“Are you afraid of humans?” Virgil asked. 

Logan gave a small snort of air, and Virgil couldn’t tell what was so funny. “Not all of them.” Logan admitted. “Most humans are vile, selfish creatures, and in large groups can be quite a hassle. They take what isn’t theirs, and threaten anything that is different.”

Not for the first time Virgil was glad he was found by his draconian family. He couldn’t imagine what sort of horrible things humans would have done to a defenseless, disabled dragon like him.

“Not disabled.” Patton would remind him. “Just different.”

Which, of course, was just another way of saying Virgil was very bad at being a dragon. 

------

When Virgil woke up is was with a strange feeling in his chest. Something’s wrong. His mind told him, like he was waking up from a nightmare without knowing what the danger had been. The whispered voices in the front of the cave certainly didn’t help. 

“-Scout says it’s almost here.” Logan explained, looking out into the distance. Even from here Virgil could see how his spines rose as a defense mechanism. “Everyone else has already flown out.”

“Are you certain we should do this?” Patton’s voice sounded pleading, and it set Virgil further on edge. “Perhaps we should fly out too... “

“I am the chief, it’s my duty to protect our lands.” Logan bristled. “I may be getting on in years but my intimidation tactics are as sharp as ever.”

“I know, but I don’t want you to go so far as to do something you’ll regret.” Patton winced.

“One is enough to send a sign to the others.” Logan spoke up. He shifted, chest puffed out further to display his superiority. “It’s kept them at bay for two decades, has it not?”

“Two decades ago we didn’t have Virgil.” Patton argued, and an uncomfortable silence overfell them both.

Virgil cleared his throat, not wanting to eavesdrop any longer. Both giant figures turned to him, looming over Virgil as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. “What’s happening?”

The elders shared a glance. “Nothing, Virgil.” Patton answered, nuzzling Virgil gently with his snout. “Go back to bed.”

“I’m not tired.” Virgil frowned, watching the way Logan tried to sneak out while Patton distracted him. “Hang on, you’re leaving again, aren’t you?”

Logan froze. “That’s none of your concern, Virgil.”

Virgil flinched at his father’s cold tone. Immediately Patton sent his partner a scolding glance, wrapping his body around Virgil in a protective manner. 

“I apologize.” Logan sighed, coming over to press his forehead against his mate in the form of an apology. He repeated the motion gently with Virgil. “It’s just, the situation is….”

“...complicated.” Patton finished Logan’s thought, realizing the chief was at a loss for words.

“Yes, thank you, Patton.” Logan smiled. “Things are complicated now.”

“Because of me?” Virgil guessed. 

“Of course not!” 

 “Only slightly.”

Their disagreement was enough of an answer for Virgil to know the truth.

“Because you’ve got to protect me.” Virgil realized quietly, looking down at his hands. His hands, so soft and pliable and useless. Every little side of the mountain was sharp enough to graze their surface. “Dads, I’m… I’m sorry.” 

“You have nothing to apologize for.” Patton insisted sternly, nuzzling even closer to Virgil. 

Logan looked down at his family, so perfectly content in their cave. He seemed to be contemplating something. “Perhaps you are correct, Patton.” Logan finally spoke. “I shall… attempt to have a more civil altercation.”

Before Virgil could ask who exactly Logan would be having a ‘civil altercation’ with, the question was answered for him by a loud presence announcing itself at the cave entrance.

“HAVE AT THEE, FOUL BEAST!” 

“Wha-? Hey!” Virgil protested, finding himself suddenly covered by Patton’s wing. What was going on? Why wouldn’t his dads let him see the intruder? The intruder who was definitely not a dragon, based on the way the voice lacked that familiar rumble. Then again, Virgil’s voice had never rumbled either.

“Strong words from the human who dares encroach on our lands.” Logan growled, so intense that Virgil almost didn’t recognize him as his father.

...a human? Virgil felt his blood run cold. 

“I am not the one encroaching.” The human scoffed, and Virgil heard some sort of shifting of metal. “You are the monsters, the ones invading our village.” 

“What!” Virgil shrieked, and in a fit of rage he was ready to take on the human himself, no matter his weaknesses. “Logan would never- MFPH!” Virgil’s cries were muffled as Patton pressed his wing against his mouth. Virgil struggled, trying to scramble over Patton’s scales to see who dared to threaten his dad. 

“Little one, I think you’re forgetting your place on the food chain.” Logan’s figure moved, looming further so that even as Virgil peeked out he couldn’t see the threat.

“Logan.” Patton’s tone held a sort of warning Virgil didn’t understand, but at least Patton was too distracted to push Virgil back under. After all, Virgil knew he was no match for Patton’s strength. 

“Stay back!” The human warned. “I will not hesitate to run you through with my blade, and spill both your blood among these rocks.”

“You will do no such thing.” Now Logan was livid, clearly just as furious as Virgil at the threat to his family members. “A puny thing like you should lack the audacity to address a specimen such as I with that tone- why, a single breath of flame will make your weapon meaningless once you’re burnt to a crisp. Or perhaps you’d rather get more personally acquainted with my razor teeth.” Logan sneered, putting them on full display.

“LOGAN!” Patton protested, standing up to get some height on his husband. Unfortunately, this brash action unsettled Virgil’s precarious spot, and with a yelp the young fleshling tumbled onto the open cave floor. 

Virgil groaned, rubbing at his head as he looked up. Both dads were staring at him, eyes wide and almost...guilty? Virgil turned to the cave entrance, finally getting a look at his first human. It was small, hardly the size of Logan’s forepaw. Instead of scaly armor, the human’s skin was soft and unprotected. It didn’t have wings, instead just a pair of fleshy limbs, one of which was holding up some sort of piece of metal. 

It...it looked just like Virgil.

“What?” Virgil’s voice was hardly a croak, trying to piece together what was happening even as his entire world view shattered.

“Aha!” The human gestured with its tool towards Virgil, and Logan put a clawed foot between them to protect his son. “I see you’ve even stooped so low as to take our kind for your own twisted horde. Don’t worry good sir, I shall rescue you in no time!”

“Wait, me? Rescue?” Virgil stood up, trying to understand as he searched the dragon’s gaze for any answers. Neither dad seemed eager to look him in the eye.

“My- prize is none of your concern.” Logan decided, pushing Virgil back with his wing even as Virgil tried to dig his feet into the ground. 

“Your prize?” Virgil spat, frustrated at the way nobody would give him answers. He didn’t like his dad’s demeaning tone, either.

“That’s it!” The human charged forwards, brandishing his weapon higher. “Have at thee!”

And just like that, all hell broke loose. The human slid beneath Logan, skirting his sharp blade against Logan’s vulnerable underside. Logan let out a roar so thunderous Virgil had to cover his ears, and it distracted him from the human charging closer. Virgil didn’t even have time to be afraid before Patton’s claws came out, batting the intruder across the room. The figure groaned, sword clattering to the ground as he hit the cave wall. 

“No!’ Virgil protested, but he wasn’t sure what exactly he was protesting.

“Logan, are you alright?” Patton hurried over to his mate, pressing his snout worriedly  against Logan’s side as the other curled up on the ground. Both of them seemed to have forgotten the human, who despite the bleeding claw marks across his chest was unsteadily getting to his feet. 

“Stop it.” Virgil growled, putting his hand up. The human stopped, but Virgil had a feeling it was more so because he heard his dads growling as well. He whirled around, putting both hands up now as he glared defiantly back at them. “You! You- stop it too!” 

“Get behind me.” The human instructed, pushing off the wall with a grunt.

“Like hell I’m doing that.” Virgil muttered, already nervous about turning his back to the human right now. Even if he was stupid enough in the head to defend their attacker, Virgil still had enough sanity to keep his distance.

“Virgil…” Logan spoke up, his voice pained. “I want you to come this way, slowly and carefully-”

“NO!” Virgil shouted, skittering back a few steps when Patton took a step forward. Tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. “Why- why does he look like me? What’s going on? What aren’t you telling me?”

“Virgil, please.” Patton pleaded, not coming closer. “Come back to us, kiddo.” 

Virgil jumped, a thump startling him so badly he almost bolted straight out of the cave. Virgil turned, seeing the human had collapsed face-first on the ground. “Oh that’s just great.” Virgil huffed, sneaking closer to investigate. It seemed the human was out cold. 

Virgil felt both parents' eyes on him, and he refused to back down. He was getting answers, one way or another, and that started with making sure this stupid human didn’t die on him.

Warnings: Unsympathetic Roman (Kinda?? Not really his fault he’s doing it for protection of his kingdom.), blood

— — —

“Please! Can’t we talk about this?!” Desperately roared a fairly small light blue dragon. The dragon, who’s name was Patton, hadn’t meant to get caught on unfamiliar territory, but he had just recently been cursed to the form of a dragon, and after reluctantly accepting he’d probably have to live like this his entire life, was still getting used to having a territory. And, well, he may have wondered a bit too close to his old home where his friend, Prince Roman, lived, and it seemed that that same friend was going to try and kill him.

His plea was in vain, as the prince obviously couldn’t understand what his roars meant, and probably took them as warnings, since he drew his sword higher. Roman flashed a smile to the dragon. He had already struck him twice, a bleeding slash wound on his left shoulder and another on his scaly back. Patton refused to attack him, though, only choosing to defend himself and try to fly away. But he was so tired from the journey and defending himself, so he tried intimidation, but his small size for a dragon of eight feet tall made it hard compared to the six foot human. “What’s wrong, dragon?” The prince almost sneered, a smirk on his lips as he got ready to charge. “Too scared to fight back, yet you started the fight?”

‘No I didn’t!’ Patton wanted to scream but didn’t get the chance as Roman began dashing at him with his sword and shield ready, making alarms do off. He couldn’t fly, couldn’t run, and doubted he couldn’t defend himself against this. He tightly shut his eyes, prepping himself for the blow, but it never came. When he slowly opened them, a gigantic dragon stood curled around him. He had to be at least sixteen feet tall if he stood up straight. He was dark purple with many black markings, and huge, swirling green and purple eyes. Roman sat on the ground, having been knocked off his feet with his sword and shield laying beside him as he stared up at the purple dragon in horror. He growled at Roman, wings expanding as he opened his mouth of pointed teeth to let out the loudest roar either of them had ever heard in their entire lives.

[eatingashovel]

They couldn't have him back, Patton won't let them have him back. He found Virgil, alone and scared in the woods over a week ago, and they thought Patton would allow them to take him away? After they abandoned him?Absolutely not! Virgil was his!

Logan would have told him he was being ridiculous, and to give the child back. The other dragon already thought it was illogical for Patton to take in the human child in the first place.

But Logan wasn't here.

A man brandishing a pitch fork took a step forward. Patton let out a high-pitched hiss, baring his teeth. His pupils became thin slits as he stared down the group of farmers. The dragon's back arched and a large pair of wings flew open, silently daring them to take another step towards his son.

"Patton... I'm scared," the cowering child whimpered beneath him.

"It's okay Virgil," the dragon whispered "I'll protect you."

'They won't take you.'

Alright @hiddendreamer67. Here you go dragon!Pat protecting his (adopted?) babe! Ngl, The Human Amongst Dragons is what inspired me to make human Virgil the babe. (Y'all should go read it if you haven't)

Take that drabble as you will. It's meant to be somewhat open ended.

Logicality Dragons and a (comparatively) small Virgil.

A potential scene from the AU A Human Among Dragons by @hiddendreamer67

Based on the headcanon that Dragons can sing at low frequencies which are magically soothing and that cuddle piles like this were common in their family.

[ts-daydream-au-fanartfunart]

Can we see Patton shape shift into a dragon? Plus maybe a surprised Virgil reaction?
