Zuko has never been burned before.
Father's hand is on his face.
Zuko is burning.
One of, like, two angst pieces I've ever written and the first one I wrote for myself and just. Okay. Okay I saw this artwork and it gave me the most brainworms and I am simply so very, very proud of myself for this. It's just so good and so devastating. Probably my favorite fic I've ever written, tbh.
Adam grooms Michael's wings, there's discussion about going to the moon, and - as always - they're disgustingly adorably domestic together.
So I've noted before that I write better when it's prompted by something/is for a friend, and this one was written for my friend @nalivaa based on this artwork of hers (it's ADORABLE, you should go check out all of her art if you're into midam), and I just. It's sweet and adorable and I like it. :)
On Reminiscing of Danger, Dragons, and Courage
"The first time I saw you, you were — to my eyes at least — naught but a pitiful halfling, unable to defend yourself, especially from the likes of me; I found you stumbling around where you should not have been able to even reach, and my only thought was that surely you would faint at the mere sight of my fury, and I would be rid of you easily. And yet, even as I threatened you as a trespasser, you did not back down, though you were shaking in fright and must have been wishing that you had never stepped foot on my mountain — and no, do not try to argue that I, at the time of our first encounters, was anything but terrible," he adds, looking sternly at the hobbit, who had been about to protest at Thorin's never-ending guilt about the way he had comported himself when the two had met.
Or, dragon shifter Thorin comes in from the winter storm, reminisces with Bilbo about their first meeting, and they're both subsequently very soft with each other. And Thorin is a little shit who is incapable of not teasing his hobbit.
Last one - this one was written for bagginshield week 2023, I believe, and I like it because I like dragons and mushy feelings, and this delivers on both counts. Also, it's nice that the story fits together, y'know?
