So if you've got an interest, now's a good time to catch up on the series. It features secret dragon Barry Bluejeans, how his secret comes out, how his family reacts... and now we're on Faerun.

Ever wondered what TAZ Balance would be like if Barry Bluejeans were secretly a dragon? That’s what The Last Bond Dragon series is about. We’ve retold the entire podcast with all the differences having a Bond Dragon on board might make. The series starts with Lup wanting to meet the dragon she’s seen around and dragging her ol’ pal Barold along for the hunt.

Now, in part 10, Seeing Red, the crew of the Starblaster land in another new plane. What seems like another in their seemingly endless cycle is not what it first appears. None of them can fully comprehend how much their lives are about to change.

After losing Lup last cycle, the whole crew is out of kilter, having gone nearly the whole cycle without the heart of them.

After all that came out in their performance at the Legato Conservatory, the balance of the future has changed dramatically. Relationships on the Starblaster are feeling the reverberations of those changes and now, as they face a new cycle and new problems, the bonds are tested anew.

Kravitz sat in his favorite summoned chair on the landing overlooking the living room and balcony, and closed his eyes. The house around him felt alive. There was a family here now. And he didn’t need his Queen or his Queen’s beloved to tell him that they needed to be protected, that their protection meant the protection of the whole planar system, perhaps all planar systems.

Because they were his family now, too. His friend, his friend’s wife who was also his boyfriend’s sister, their child. They were the reason his home felt alive, the reason he felt alive.

He could feel them slip into sleep, could feel the way the house seemed to sleep with them. Cam was awake, as was he, and who knew what that little badger monstrosity might be up to. But the place felt at rest. The dragons slept and so did the house. The home. Kravitz let them have their peace. They needed time with their child and each other. Barry had to heal.

So Kravitz appreciated the quiet and calm while it was available. He could sense it would not last.

Lup is gone.

His family is gone.

Barry Bluejeans is alone. A bond dragon, cut off from all his bonds.

And things are about to get worse.

Now posted on AO3.

There were things that burned like fire, and things that burned like ice. This was somehow both. For the last… how long? Time? It had burned and burned and burned. Scorching. She felt like it was sweating out of her pores, from under her scales, coming out in dripping seconds and molasses minutes. Her lungs barely functioned; her heart pumped slowly; her brain, inflamed, shut down.

She roared in anger and was suddenly alert-but-not, talons out, radiant breath searing already blackened rock as she fell back. Enemies. There were enemies nearby, she had to get back to her baby… her Barry… her brother. 

Again the darkness took her, again she fell to the ground, again her brain swam in the bubbling boil of a poison that should have killed her. There was something, though, something calling her back, a voice but not, a clarion call that had been there the whole time. 

The last of the silverpoint poison finally exited Lup’s system, and the hibernation began to ease…
