The Dragon Rider AU Meme

Do you have the heart to tame a dragon, and to make it your soul-bonded companion? Or - from the other side - will you tolerate a human giving you commands? Now is your chance to find out! Transport yourself to a world where dragons and people live side-by-side, closely bound by their duty to protect one another and their cities and villages from the threats beyond. Some bonds, be they between humans or dragons, are stronger than others...


Prompts

1. Hatching
Perhaps you met your dragon companion at its birth, knowing it from the moment of its very first breaths. How will you train your dragon, and what do you think of your fellow dragon-keepers?

2. Taming
Of course, you could always go the challenging route, and catch and tame your dragon in the wild. Many would-be riders make the attempt, but few come back in one piece. Some even say it is the dragon who chooses you.

3. Telepathic Bond
Dragons and their riders might communicate with one another via a telepathic bond, sharing each other's thoughts, memories, and emotions. Sometimes, the riders of two closely bonded dragons will be able to do the same.

4. Training
It's important to keep you and your companion in tip-top condition, from flight training to battle drills. Of course, this includes making sure your dragon's claws and scales are clean and in good shape.

5. Battle Flight
This is it, the moment you've been training for. You're fighting monsters, hungry parasites that fall from the sky, or perhaps even other dragons. Will the bond between rider and dragon be strong enough to endure?

6. Injury
You or your dragon companion or injured. How can you stay calm when it feels as if a part of you is suffering?

7. Mating Season
Hey, dragons are wild animals. It happens. Of course, bonded are you are, sometimes dragon friskiness bleeds over...

8. Wildcard
Anything goes!

[ One of his favourite forms is some kind big ol' dragon so he can be the partner in this situation. ]

[chimerad]

[bond with a grumpy stone dragon what can also shift humanoid sometimes?]

[hylife]

[ oh, yes please! Link is so good for grumps... let him silently care for you in spite of the lowkey verbal abuse ]

[chimerad]

[hell yea hell yea -- would u like to lean into any particular prompt? i'm good for any/a mishmash of a few to weave a fun yarn as you please c:]

[hylife]

[ how about 6 (injury) to start, with 3 (telepathic bond) for flavor? Link could easily get injured doing something dumb and self-sacrificial, or he can dote on an injured dragon! ]

[unshakencowboah]

[RDR2 but with dragons? Where's this DLC? lmao Could be either a rider or a dragon (ability to shift into a humanoid form). Anything shippy is 20+, otherwise OTA]

taiki | the twelve kingdoms

[taikirin]

Raihan | Pokemon SwSh

[draigon]

[He's literally known as the Tamer of Dragons, of course he'd be a perfect dragon rider! He'd give the utmost care and respect to whoever his dragon is.

Alternatively, he could also be a dragon! I prefer him to be a shapeshifter who can turn into a human, although he'd still have some scales/horns/tail left over. All prompts are good with me, but I'm a little iffy about 7, so let's talk that one out first.]

sansa stark | game of thrones

[ladydire]

( If you think I'm here for Dany/Sansa... you're right, but I'm also open to AUs of any kind! )

Túrin | Tolkien Legendarium | OTA

[manelf]

[He has some experience with dragons... but nothing good. Maybe something more positive is in order.]

[songstressedout]

[ OOC: Preferably the rider, but hey, if you want her to be the dragon I'm down. ]

[onewithwater]

(OoC: Tame a shapeshifting water dragon? Can go gen or shippy/smutty)

[songstressedout]

[ Sorry I’m late! Down for smutty, any ideas? ]

[onewithwater]

(OoC: No problem! Perhaps Yuzu trying to tame Marie leads to Marie wishing for more?)

Anders | Dragon Age | OTA

[rebelhealer]

[The rider]

Grand Admiral Thrawn | Star Wars | OTA

[admiralchiss]

[Can be either the rider or the dragon]

The Dragonborn | The Elder Scrolls | OTA

[fireandhoney]

[Probably the rider. M/M for shipping]

Elma | Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid | F/F, F/Futa

[allshecaneat]

(She's the dragon. Although she's more of a harmony dragon, on the side of maintaining proper order and whatnot, trying to tame her won't be easy unless you get on her good side!)

[makeadragonwannaretire]

((I've been in a dragon maid mood the last couple of days. Should we set it in Avatar world where Elma is one of the last dragons the Fire Nation hasn't killed? Or in a modern setting where Azula is a high schooler who stumbles on a secret? Or perhaps in Elma's fantasy world?))

[allshecaneat]

(Hehe, nice. Part of me hopes you'll check out this series someday; it's really good. Gave this some thought, and I'd be up for Azula being a high schooler who discovers Elma's secret. Any certain kinks/prefs you would want added?)

[makeadragonwannaretire]

((I love the anime I just haven't gotten around to reading the manga yet~
Let's focus on Domination and submission, I'm down for Futa and body part worshipping, food play would work for Elma of course. But as a challenge for you we'll skip the hypnosis to see who dominates who~ How's that? ))

Liora | Flight Rising | OTA

[liorafae]

[She's the dragon, although she's a little small to ride, but she can have a special bond with the "rider." Or in her human AU, she can be the rider.]

garrett hawke | dragon age | ota

[hapostate]

[ i mean, dragon, obviously ]
