How Thomas Met Remy Part 1

           “Emile! Emile! Emile Where are you?!” Thomas calls as he walks, Logan walks next to him looking through the gaps in the trees listening carefully for noises out of the ordinary.

“Why isn’t he responding! Do think he got hurt? What if he’s in trouble! EMILE!”

“Thomas relax I’m sure he’s fine, He probably lost track of time and decided to find shelter for the coming storm. He is the same size or larger than most of the animals in this forest, bar other dragons, domesticated or not, he has the advantage in any altercations he may have come across.” Logan continues to assure Thomas while leading him towards large cave. “Here, sit. There is thunderstorm starting. I will start a fire and you shall wait here to keep warm and dry.”

“But-” Thomas started, trying to move for the exit.

“No buts,” Logan stepped in front and stopped him “I have better eyesight, I am faster on ground and in the air, I wont fall ill from a little water, I will continue to search for Emile while you stay here. Safe.”

Thomas grumbled and sat down. Just because Logan was right didn’t mean he had to like it. He was just really worried okay. He knows Emile is more than capable of caring for himself, but any number of things could happen to a little dragon who normally sleeps in a macramé bed surrounded by plushies from his favorite shows. What if he came across a wild dragon? Sure, Logan seems nice but there’s more than just him in these woods. He could be lost! He’s probably scared! He-

Thomas is snapped out of his thoughts by Logan dropping a pile of sticks in front of him. “Thomas, I understand this is a distressing situation for you but must remain calm. I am certain Emile will be found soon. Would you like me to remain here a moment longer, until you are feeling calm again, or are you sufficient for me to leave?”

Thomas looks at Logan through the fire. He looks so composed, so calm, like Thomas can trust him, like if he says everything will be okay then everything will be okay. He trusts him. “No. Thank you Logan, you can leave, I’ll stay here.” Logan nods and heads to the edge of the cave where he launches into the sky. Thomas huddles closer to the fire and anxiously awaits Logan’s (and hopefully Emile’s) safe return.

Do you know where you are, though? Like can you find you way back? Sorry if this is rude.

You know, now that you bring it up; it is getting rather late. I should head back to Thomas and that other dragon.

Now which way is it that I need to go?

Emile hears a low growling behind him.

Another Bit of Worldbuilding

With the release of our boi Remy’s bio I thought it best to inform y’all of how family dynamics work in general dragon culture. Please note, each species and/or class will have specifics to their culture but this will just be an overview of shared characteristics amongst dragonkind. And as always if you have questions don't be afraid to ask.

basic vocab

Kindling- singular/plural- a group of hatchling and kit aged dragons. example: “did you hear? Mara’s allowing his kindling to play outside now. I don't know how he plans on keeping watch over all 36 of them”

Hoard- singular- a group of dragons usually comprised of a single kindling and a caretaker or caretakers. similar to a human family. Note: Humans are not aware of the true meaning of this word. their mistaken definition has caused many homes to be raided in search of “treasure”

Clan- singular- A community of Hoards or single dragons that hunt and live together under an agreed upon set of rules. Note: While Clans made up solely of the same species or even class is most common, there are known to be a few made of all different types of dragons.

Basic Clan Hierarchy

Safen (Sah-fen)- The head of the clan, they lead and protect the clan, usually the oldest/wisest/strongest depending on main clan species.

Quoromnal (Kor-ohm-nol)- the rule makers, they have public meetings to determine clan issues and present solutions to the Safen. The amount of Quoromnals depends on the size of the clan.

Other Jobs, Individuals, and Hoards are all equal

How are you doing Emile?

Pokes head out from under a berry bush

Well hi there! I’m doing swell! Thanks for asking! Though I’ll admit I would be doing better if any of these bushes actually had some berries on them. It seems like every bush I’ve checked has been picked dry! 

Note from Author: Thanks for the ask I really appreciate it!

[sanderssidesdragonau]

Hey apparently asks were closed. Don't know how that happened but they should be open now!

Species: Hamocrus/ Hookleg

Class: Somnustempus

Basic Facts about the species

Sitting height: 5ft/ 1.524m

Snout to tail: 8ft/ 2.4384m

Speed: Flying! 450mph/ 724.205kmph  Land! 75mph/ 120.701kmph

Strength: 1151lbs

Armor: 3

Class Specific Protections

Hypnotic bio-luminescence on tail, wings, crown, and eyes

camouflage colour

small but fast

5 main wing joints allowing for highly flexible but intensely fragile wings

Other facts

Since Remy can’t have coffee as a dragon, he makes his own odd (but surprisingly tasty) drinks out of leaves, nuts, berries, and fruit.

While hooklegs are normally very solitary creatures keeping only to their immediate hoard until sometime in there full wing years, Remy is unusually friendly with the clans surrounding his cave. (particularly a rather fierce grounded dragon and his large friend.)

One theory for this behavior could be that it is due to him losing his hoard to some hunters as a kit and having never learned “proper” hookleg behavior.

Hooklegs mate for life so they often take time choose a mate. Once a potential mate has been found they will test them by giving them an item of immense sentimental value. The desired outcome of the test is always a personal preference so it’s impossible to know what’s important to a hookleg until you have taken the time to truly get to know them.

Remy’s valuable possession is a pair of human sunglasses that belonged to who he believes to be the only good human in existence.

While his species are carnivores his class has adapted to be omnivores.

No matter what the situation Remy will always be our sassy boi.

How Thomas Met Logan

 I couldn't fit it into a normal story so you get a bullet-fic 

       Logan is already in a clan with Roman at this point.

         Logan frequently goes on walks to, as he puts it, “avoid absorbing Roman’s ignorance.”

         Really, he’s just going near the edge of the forest and he doesn’t want to risk Roman getting hurt or spotted by hunters.

         On one of these strolls he watches Thomas and Emile, who are on a walk along the edge of the woods, from one of his hidden plateau perches in a nearby tree.

         Thomas is pretty tired so decides to settle against a tree, Logan’s tree, for a nap.

         Once he falls asleep Emile acknowledges Lo and asks him to watch him Thomas for a few moments while he goes to get some berries he saw earlier.

         Logan, shocked by the trusting nature of this small dragon, agrees.

         Emile leaves and Logan Cautiously climbs down and slowly noses about Thomas and his things.

         A few minutes later Thomas wakes up and starts to freak out over a much larger and unfamiliar dragon in front of him and no Emile in sight.

         Logan calmly walks him through the 4-7-8 breathing exercises. Once Thomas is calmer, he explains that no, he did not eat Emile. Honestly, such a rude assumption to make.

         Once Logan finishes explaining the situation and Thomas is sufficiently out of a panic attack, Thomas just starts to talk with Logan.

         Logan is very surprised.

         This human isn’t scared

         This human isn’t running away

         This human is TALKING TO HIM!

         (Is this Human okay?)

         Logan tentatively asks Thomas one of his questions about human life and Thomas just answers him.

         Without hesitation, fear, or annoyance.

         Whot?!

         (Oh, he likes this human)

         After a pleasant conversation Thomas grows worried. The sun is setting, and Emile still isn’t back.

         Logan, knowing how dangerous the forest is for unprepared humans and trusting dragons, suggests that he joins Thomas as he searches for Emile.

Other facts

Featherheads are primarily tree dwellers, but Logan has taken it a step farther and created a plateau in his home tree using old wood from picnic tables and *abandoned human tools.

*Logan has a bad habit scaring humans when he attempts to make contact with them

He loves human knowledge and will go to ridiculous lengths to get it. He once broke into the upper floors of Mason Hills's Library. He wanted to return the books once he finished but there were Dragon-proof bars on the windows the next week.

Adores the human concept of music

After he was kicked out of his original clan he wandered on his own until he came to Mason Hills and literally stumbled across Roman. Again. And again. And again. Eventually he realized he wasn't getting rid of Roman and decided their efforts would be better spent in tandem

Roman helps defend Lo from hunters after his claws and plumage.

How Thomas Met Emile

     “Aww! Wh-h-hat a cutie!” Thomas giggled. The little golden doodle pup was still trying to lick his face from where Thomas held him out. He was at the rescue to try and find a service animal after getting his approval letter. So far he's met a lot of absolute darlings but none of them seemed quite right. There was a Border Collie who was very smart but seemed not very interested in Thomas. Then he tried a few cats, a snake, and a couple rabbits. Now here he is, 3 hours later with an over excitable Golden Retriever Poodle mix pup squirming in his lap.

      “Sorry,” he sheepishly told the attendant helping him, “I don’t think this one’s quite right either.” They sighed with a soft smile,

“It’s fine, that’s all the animals I’m allowed to show you right now though. If you wanted to look at the more secure ones, or the ones still under vet-watch I’d have to get you a new attendant.”

     Well, it would be a lot more work. But maybe that’s a good thing? The employee cleared their throat; shaking Thomas out of his thoughts. He apologized and agreed to work with a new attendant. They told him to wait there while they went to grab them.

“It looks like Jerry is on lunch right now, but Mathias can take you to the higher security section.” They said when they returned, a stocky blond man following them.

     “Great! I really appreciate all the trouble your going through.” Thomas replied. Matthias assured him it was no issue as he motioned for Thomas to follow him down the hall. “So…” Thomas spoke trying to start a conversation, “what kinds of animals are in the high security section?”

     “Oh, you know, animals that were aggressive when we first found them and didn’t mellow out, more exotic ones that you need a license for, Oh, and they just brought in Full Wing Smallfur!”

     “Really? A dragon! That’s so cool! Where did you find it?”

     “A couple of our operatives got called in. Apparently, some family was moving out of town and their new residence wouldn’t allow their kid’s, Kai I think their name was, Service Dragon, so they had to give ‘em away. Our facility just happened to have the right environment and enough room to take it. Say, weren’t you looking for a service animal? Maybe you can take this beast off our hands. It’s been a real pain; won’t eat, won’t move, just snaps at the trainers whenever the come near it. I suggested a muzzle, but the bosses won’t have it.”

     A muzzle! Oh, this poor thing must be terrified! I hope their okay! Maybe I should take a look? “Um could I maybe see the dragon first?” Thomas asked as Matthias swiped his key card. He nodded and took him to the very end cage.

     “There it is. Pitiful Beast.” He gestured to a large tan blob in the back corner as he opened the cage. Thomas walked in and sat down, not entirely sure what to do. He hadn’t ever encountered a dragon before, so he was a little nervous. Okay more than a little, he was spiraling, and he knew it, but he wasn’t sure how to stop it. All of sudden he feels a warm presence on his lap and nosing under his hand. He absentmindedly started stroking what felt like really soft fur and smooth skin. Finally, he was able to bring himself out of his thoughts and looked down. To his surprise the Dragon had noticed his distress curled around him to help. Currently he seemed to be in a Staring contest with Thomas. They were beautiful, a crown of shinning silver horns framing their face and tiny ears, orange eyes that looked to be full of kindness and understanding, the small cat like nose on the tip of their snout, large angled wings tucked against their back and tail, and the large paw resting on his knee with claws sheathed. “Hello. Um, thank you?” Thomas whispered.

     The dragon perked up a bit and whispered back, “Hello, do you how do?” Thomas snickered and the dragon visibly brightened standing and rubbing against Thomas’s side.

     “Well, what do ya know, the beast likes ya.” Up until then Thomas had forgotten Matthias was even still there and was happily petting the dragons neck and back, but his comment made the sweet cuddle session come to an abrupt halt as the dragon froze and shrunk back at the demeaning name. It absolutely broke Thomas’s heart to see and he knew he couldn’t leave them there.

     “This one. This one’s perfect.” He said to Matthias, who nodded and left to get the paperwork. “Are you alright? What's your name?” Thomas inquired, turning his attention back to the scared dragon, “I’m Thomas.”

     “I’m okay, I’m used to it. Its just a little harder when Kai isn’t here to help defend me. They’re my owner or were my owner.” The dragon spoke quietly, gently uncurling themselves into a sitting position across from Thomas. “But I have a feeling that you and I are going to get along great! I’m Emile!”

[sanderssidesdragonau]

For anyone wondering. I may draw Thomas, but at a later date. Human anatomy is not my friend.

Other Facts

Thomas's service dragon for his anxiety

Though capable of high speeds, Emile would much rather curl around Thomas and watch cartoons

Can't see very well out of one eye due to a larger dragon slashing right behind it when he was a kit.

Has fur in a line down his back from his snout to the tip of his tail.

Fiercely loyal. He has been known to curl protectively around Thomas, bear his teeth, and growl when others judge Thomas for caring for a "dangerous beast". It doesn't help their case but he's never attacked anyone and Thomas gives him extra treats and pets later anyways as a thank you, so its all good.

Doesn't talk much in public but will absolutely chat with Thomas at home.

Owns an absurd amount of plushies that all sleep with him in his nest-bed.

[sanderssidesdragonau]

Hello! Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I hope you enjoy your stay! A few things about this story.

1. The Dragons do not have "genders" per say but they do use he/him pronouns.

2. There are three main classifications for each dragon

Genisis: Blacktooth, Silverclaw, or the very rare Puretail

Species: The Common name for each type of dragon. Ex. Coruscopenna or Shimmerwing

Class: the most specific name for each type, never used without saying its species. Ex. Shimmerwing class CircurFelis

3. Dragons live for a long time. Their life cycle goes

Hatchling (baby)- 8yrs

Kit (child)- 10yrs

Full Wing (young adult)- 17yrs

Prime (adult)- 65yrs

Elder (senior)- 50 to 60yrs

3. Dragons are kind of like hyper intelligent dogs/wolves (This isn't a perfect comparison but its the closest.) meaning at base level, they are capable of complex thought and human speech. A few smaller classes of dragons have been domesticated as companions or service animals. These Dragons will have Circur in their class.

4. In the town and surrounding area where our story takes place (Mason Hills) very few people have pet dragons. Wild dragons are considered very dangerous, are blamed for a lot of the towns issues, and are sometimes hunted.

5. The main ships in this au will be: romantic Remile, platonic sleepxiety, platonic moxiety platonic Logince, eventual romantic LAMP, queerplatonic partners Demus, and of course Thomas eventually makes friends with everyone.
