The Dragonriders of Pern AU Meme
WARNING: Contains situations of dubious consent, violence, and triggers. Click with caution.
Pern is a planet with an unusual problem. Every 250 years or so, orbits in the system bring the planet into a fifty-year shower of a substance they call Thread. Thread consumes every organic substance it comes into contact with, dissolving plastics, plants and people alike. It is stopped only by metal and stone. In order to combat this menace, the early colonists on Pern created dragons.
Now, thousands of years later, dragons are an ordinary institution. They carry passengers and transport messages, since they are able to go Between, a teleporting ability that produces several seconds of cold sensory deprivation every time it is done. They live in weyrs, places reserved solely for dragons, riders and support staff, usually in caves, often in volcanic areas in order to create warm grounds for egg-laying and hatching.
The dragons themselves bond with, or Impress, humans immediately upon hatching, creating a deep, psychic and very intimate connection. Dragons and humans are a pair, and they tend to bond based on personality, gender and sexual orientation. This comes into play during mating flights, when female dragons go into heat and fly away, requiring a male to catch her and mate mid-air. Often, sex between the riders of the mated dragons is not optional, no matter who the riders are or what they feel about one another. This creates a general atmosphere of sexual openness in the weyr.
That's a dragonrider's life. Skipping out to fight the latest shower of Thread, taking care of their dragon, hopping Between, and dealing with the occasional unwanted desires from a mating flight.
For more info, feel free to check out Wikipedia!
HOW IT WORKS:
1) Post with your character and canon. Feel free to take this opportunity to make a note about which sort of dragon your character would have, and any roleplaying preferences.
2) Tag around, and dragon this shit up.
3) Stick to canon, if you like; disregard it, if you like.
4) Have some goddamn fun with some goddamn dragons.
CANON:
Gold - the largest of the dragons and most rare, queens and egg-layers. Those who Impress a dragon like this generally end up in a weyr's leadership. These dragons canonically always have women as their riders.
Bronze - second largest, male; the gold's mating pool tends to draw from these. These dragons canonically always have men as their riders.
Brown - slightly smaller than bronze, male, steady and strong with a lot of endurance. These dragons canonically always have men as their riders.
Blue - the smallest male, and a somewhat awkward compromise between strength and small size/agility. These dragons canonically nearly always have men as their riders.
Green - quick, agile and flighty, without much endurance, making up about 50% of all canon dragon population. Female. Greens almost never lay any eggs, and lack much of a maternal instinct. These dragons may take riders of either gender.
NON-CANON/SLIGHTLY MODIFIED CANON:
(In case you'd like a few more options to play with.)
White - A mutation, but a surprisingly common one. White dragons have little to no sex drive, and are very small, but unusually intelligent and sometimes have strange and unique abilities.
Black/Dark Blue - Another rare mutation. These dragons can be of either gender, but are incapable of chewing firestone and producing flame. They tend to take dragonriders who are deceptive, sneaky, clever. They are often used as messengers or as night-riding spies.
Red - Female and medium-size, this dragon is a fighting dragon that does clutch, if not as numerously or as productively as the golds. They tend towards passion and strength, deep emotions that make them fervent fighters.
Yellow - Male, on the small side, jumpy and often somewhat thick-headed, yellows take longer to mature and are more difficult to train to work in groups, but once you do, the result is worth it. They are impulsive and brave and vicious.
Purple - Another dragon type that can be male or female. Small-bodied and huge-winged, this type is somewhat rare but ideal for long patrols. Their eyesight is famous and keen, so they're good spotters as well.
Other - If you have a particular idea, feel free to make up your own!
1 - Threadfall. Time to get out there and burn this stuff before it manages to hit the ground. Hopefully you won't find yourself or your dragon in the path of this stuff. Otherwise, you might be out of commission for a while, and the scars never heal.
2 - Gather Day. It's a festival today! Get out there and spend some money, hear some music, and have some lovely food.
3 - Hatching. The candidates are ready, and those eggs look hard enough to break. Hatching could happen at any time. Are you ready for Impression?
4 - Feeding/Bathing. Dragons need a lot of taking care of. Whether it's feeding a hatchling an enormous basket of meat, taking a full-grown dragon out to hunt, or having a bath in the lake outside the weyr, keeping your dragon happy is a full-time job.
5 - Mating Flights. It's time. Your dragon is feeding on the blood of their kill, and they're about to take off. Who's going to catch them this time?
6 - Other. Wild card, if there's any other situation you'd like to explore!

He breathes out, long and soothing, and strokes her flank. She's a good girl. They found the early Threadfall, they reported back, they did their duty. And saved a damn few fields, while they were at it. ]

Hi, Clint! [He's tending to Schultzeth as the dragon gobbles down his requisite firestone. They'll be out soon, wrecking Thread and turning the air into a brilliant shower of fireworks. For a good cause, of course. The brushing and repetitive saddle-adjusting isn't technically necessary, but Carter wants his best friend ever to be comfortable.] You guys ready to head out?
[Schultzeth throws out a telepathic greeting but he's mostly focused on eating. Blues tend to be small and he's no exception, but there's a mild potbelly on him.]

Not buying you that...not buying you that...you're yellow, that would look hideous. Not buying you that.
[One can't hear her dragon's side of the conversation, telepathy and all, but the body language explains enough. He's wagging his tail and wiggling around, looking very put out at Alice's constant rejections of his requests. He just wants to look pretty, darnit.]

5!
Becky was just yet another of the Weyr children who’d grown up half wild in the hold with her best friend S’eve. When Becky had impressed the gold Erith, the entirety of the Weyr had been shocked when Steve had been selected by a bronze as well.
Things had definitely changed for them over the past few years to say the least.
And now things were changing yet again. Becky was still getting used to her position as a junior Weyrwoman in Fort Hold and now Erith was showing every sign if getting ready to experience her first Flight. Of course she turned to the one person she’d always been able to count on, S’eve.
His bronze had flown a queen before though he’d been unable to catch the gold dragon. Nervous energy ran through Becky as she hurried up to her Weyr to watch Erith blood her kills instead of gorging on them as she wanted. Sweat was already beading at her brow from the exertions of trying to convince her dragon to follow her orders. Something that Erith did sluggishly and with obvious irritation.] She's fighting me.
[Becky groaned, an uncharacteristic hint of uncertainty in her voice.]

6~
Rumors spread like wildfire, of course--even the Hyuuga's Hold isn't so insular that it can escape hearing the news, or fail to see the occasional dragon winging past on the horizon. As strictly traditional as the Hyuugas are, dragonriders seldom come anywhere near the Hold; why bother, when the family would never consent to relinquish any child of theirs as a Candidate?
Still, just because they never visit the Hold doesn't mean they never pass over it at all. The silhouette of wide wings against the sky is bigger this time than usual--not over the horizon, but closer to overhead. Distant enough to seem almost a dream, yet close enough to hold the promise of hope--close enough to reach, perhaps, if Neji is determined enough to intercept its journey and get its attention.

Tifa Lockheart/Final Fantasy VII
Vexen, AU | Kingdom Hearts
Smut and dub-con OK with me.]
Oh, look, 4/5..... Even the prompts know Vexen tops, clearly.
He's a small Brown, admittedly, and mottled like the soil and stone he's named after--but still, there's nothing small about his appetite. He sinks his fangs into the herdbeast's throat and gives it a good shake to render it silent and still, before starting to eat; Lexaeus watches with quiet pride, undeterred by the sight of the blood. He offers Vexen a smile, faintly amused; no doubt his dragon will come down to join them soon enough. "The way they act, you'd think we only feed them once a season."
Pfff. As if Vexen would accept anything else. <3
XD Of course not~
