This is what my brain gets up when I'm sick and can't sleep.
Enjoy!

50 years prior there were a rise in dragon habitations and to combat what the humans saw was an infestation trained dragon slayers.
But the profession is dying out as most of the evil dragons have been slain, and those that try are beat back by their own kind.
In a small kingdom the evil King Richard wants to get rid of the dragon that has taken residence in the mountain nearby.
So he hunts around to find that all the dragon slayers have died or retired long since.
All but one. Sir Steven of Harring's Town. He is a disgraced prince whose mother was eaten by a dragon shortly after his birth and has vowed to find and kill the creature.
The King almost turns him away when he arrives. He is thin, almost too thin to hold up his armor, his horse is on its last legs. His sword is chipped with many battles and held together with leather and tattered silk.
It's clear this man has not known a decent meal in a really long time.
But the dragon must be dealt with.
So the king feeds Sir Steve up for a couple of days so that he at least has the strength to draw his sword and sends off, pointing in the direction of the beast's mountain.
The dragon, Edgewraith, is black dragon with red eyes, claws, and underscales.
He is quite fearsome to behold.
He watches as this piteous creature stumbles off his aging horse and struggles up to the cave entrance.
"How desperate King Richard must be," Edgewraith hisses, smoke and spark spilling from his mouth. “To send me you."
Sir Steven pulls off his helmet and throws it to the ground. "I am the last dragon slayer, monster. All I ask is a shift death and that you mount my head on a spike in front of your cave announcing my demise."
Edgewraith is startled but before he could even form a response, the knight faints.
Two weeks later Sir Steve wakes to find the most beautiful man standing over him with a cup of broth. He has long dark curls and reddish brown eyes. Sir Steven falls in love almost immediately.
Eddie, as the man introduces himself, tells him that no one will come looking for him, as the dragon has spelled a skull to look like his visage and done as he asked.
Sir Steve is dead as far as the world knows.
Steve cries in relief.
The two slowly get to know each other and fall in love.
But before they can make love for the first time, Eddie reveals himself to be the dragon, Edgewraith.
Steve replies that he figured it out a long time ago and didn't mind. He took care of him when no one else would. Of course he fell in love with him.
Eddie knows that they can't couple, because of how hot he runs but one day a stray ember hits Steve in the leg but he doesn't call out in pain.
He picks it up and tosses it neatly into the fire. Once while making dinner for them both, Steve slips with the knife, but he doesn't bleed.
So Eddie starts pressing Steve a bit more about the dragon that supposedly ate his mother. All the villagers had described it as breathtaking. Bright bronze scales on top and warm brown eyes, claws, and underscale.
Eddie knows who this is and sends out the call.
Mirrorsong arrives and when she sees Steve instantly transforms.
"Mother?" Steve cries because the castle had paintings of his mother everywhere and he even kept a miniature he had painted himself with him at all times.
She runs to him and tells him the truth.
She fell in love with his father and married him. But when she gave birth to Steven, her insides burned the midwife's arms, nearly killing her. When the king learned this he banished his wife and raised her son as a dragon slayer.
Steve learns that while he can't change shape like Eddie and Mira, he cannot be hurt and he will live a long life. Maybe not as long as Eddie, but they have centuries instead of decades now.
The old king dies and the new king is kinder.All the kids like to go up to the mountain to play with the two strangers who protect their town.
della i'm sad and i wanna talk about knight steve so i offer u,
waking up really early and steve's just next to u waiting for u to wake up, cos let's face it he's a morning person/sociopath, and he's got this little glimmer in his eyes cos he's just so in love with u <3
I’m crying I just started it and it was so good then my phone shut off and I lost it lajdjendjdn 😭😭 I’m a whore for Sir Steve and commas so please bear with me
So it’s the three of you, Sir Steve, you, and squire Dustin. You’re on your journey away to wherever it is you’re going, probably to sir Eddie to perform the marriage in his kingdom that offered him sanctuary.
It was Dustin’s turn to keep watch the night before and as usual, Steve wakes up with the first sliver of the sun. So he sends Dustin to his tent and goes back to lay with you. Just admiring you, how soft and peaceful you look now that you get to rest. You’ve been so exhausted, so high strung the last few weeks on the run, he’s noticed it in the way your brow has taken a permanent furrow, your mouth taking a permanent frown. Both only broken for a moments rest, looking out at beautiful things ahead. Sparkling lakes, vibrant sunsets, the view of a swaying flower field from the side of a mountain. But his favorite look, his absolute favorite vision in all his days, is the way you look at him. The way your eyes fill with such adoration and your face just radiates joy when you get a moment alone. Even in a crowded tavern, people jostling against you every five seconds, in thick disguises. He pulls you closer, an arm firm around your waist, and plays up the act of a dashing knight, just for you. And the smile you give him is…heaven.
But that’s not what he’s seeing now, no, this is his other favorite thing to see. You completely at peace, lost in a dream, clearly a good one if your little lazy half smirk is anything to go by. And he just looks, and adores you. Tracing your eyebrow down to your cheekbone, pulling his hand away when he notices you stirring. You subconsciously let out a whimper at the loss of contact, one he wouldn’t have picked up on if he wasn’t so close to you. He moves closer and smooths his hand over your waist then up your back. Playing with the ends of your hair and pushing you closer.
He thinks he might cry looking at you. His only idea of love forged by the marriage of his parents was nothing to emulate he was sure, and the great romances he read of were something he thought he could only ever dream of. Never imagining it’d ever be something he’d really find, especially after taking his vow.
But you’re real, and you’re leaving your whole life behind for him, you’re his and he’s yours, and you love him and he loves you.
His sniffles are what wake you up. No tears but you notice an unusual shine to his waterline, only two short sniffs, loud enough to steal you from your dreams. But you’d argue this reality is better. Waking up to the birds singing from one side, the brook splashing from the other, and the love of your life looking at you like that. He presses his hand flat against your back between your shoulder blades, pulling you in even closer, gently rolling you both over so he’s hovering over you with a leg between yours to keep from crushing you. “I love you” and he says it so…reverently. You’re confused for just a second, not used to waking up to such a declaration, but that’d never stop you from saying it back. He kisses the space between your brows in hopes they’d relax which they always do.
Your thumbs run back and forth over his cheekbones, “I love you”
He lowers himself further into your touch, wishing he could stay there forever
Sir Steve of Palchuckia, because he deserves more love. He turned from bully to misunderstood jerk to soft fragile puppy so fast <3 Character development.
here’s a little wholesome slightly not wholesome, sir steve for you. I think sir Steve would love the fact that you’re both having your first time together. Because he vowed to never take on a wife and obviously that meant like he wouldn’t fuck a woman so once he meets you, he’s like I’m gonna have the first time with the love of my life is so amazing and he’s just obsessed with it and you.
It is wholesome because it’s just them being in love and sharing that experience with each other <<<333 he’d be so soft. Like everyday he has to put on this gruff exterior but then he meets the kids and he realizes he doesn’t have to be a jerk his dad raised him to be and then he starts reading poetry and romances and appreciating his life more and he’s so generous, but he’s still kinda stoic because he’s a soldier, he has to be. But with you, his princess, he’s so gentle, he’s so in love. And he lets you know it too because he doesn’t know how long you two have. He hopes it’s forever but neither of you can be sure so he’s savoring every second together.
So obviously when they finally share that moment together he’s obsessed with it, especially since we’ve established that sir Steve does in fact read smut so duh, it’s good. He goes out and fights and duels and battles, all putting his life on the line but he’s never felt more vulnerable than that moment because it’s something new, with the woman he loves, that he had no way to prepare or train for. And he knows you wouldn’t judge him or hurt him but it’s still a little scary. And after you’re just in a daze laying there with each other and trying to ignore the fact that he has to leave so soon
And he definitely cried as soon as it was over, like full on crying, take that as you will
@beezywriting because I forgot before and I’m so sorry
