#dragonscourge

My crossover AU, Dragonscourge, is complete. I am told by XV fans that you can understand and enjoy it with no knowledge of the Dragonriders books, and I also have a Dragonriders reader who told me you can understand and enjoy with no knowledge of XV.  So what I take from this is that you can read it fandom blind!  There’s action, romance, angst, fluff - little bit of everything as our heroes try to save the world!

Five Turns later…

A heavy weight landed on Nyx’s midsection, pulling him unceremoniously from sleep. He sat up, looking for Ulrith - had he overslept? Was his Wing due to patrol? Oh, shells, if he was late again, Titus wasn’t gonna let him hear the end of it; that conniver had been after Nyx’s job for Turns, and Nyx couldn’t blame the Weyrleader for passing it over if he was consistently tardy. After scrubbing a hand over cerulean eyes that felt full of soapsand, Nyx opened them and remembered where he was,when he was, and how lucky he was.

The weight on his midsection was a chaotic ball of energy disguised as a sprightly girl named Selena. Now that she’d seen Nyx crack his eyes open, she grinned, pressing her nose to his. “It’s morning!”

He laughed, the sound low and joyful. “Why, so it is. Are you ready for breakfast?”

Dew sparkled on the blades of grass, making Gladio happy he was wearing waterproofed boots. Immediately after that thought he internally castigated himself for being focused on such an inane detail when he needed to be alert, to be ready. He didn’t know what he could actually do if anyone came to try and attack Noctis and Lunafreya; all he knew was that he wasn’t gonna leave them unattended. Gladio was grateful he’d won his argument with Iris, though. His sister had been dropped off at the Harper Hall before the Wing made its way to Insomnia Weyr. She was out of harm’s way, but Gladio was painfully aware that Ignis, Prompto, and all the others were going right into danger.

They might not all come back.

Aranea volunteered immediately for the return to Smithcraft Hall. A sevenday had passed since the devastating loss of Spectoth, and today was the day Mastersmith Cid had told them their commission would be prepared. So Aranea, Prompto, and Noctis had left straight after breakfast, bowing out from their usual tasks to go collect the flamethrower and the quartz crystals. Between them all, they’d come up with enough coin to pay the extremely dear fee, but Aranea still hoped that there was some room for negotiation. Surely saving the world was more important than making a profit. But, then, she’d heard all the rumors about smiths and their miserly ways, she’d just never met one and confirmed - or disproven - the stories.

Hours later, they ate meatrolls around a cheerful fire. Gladio was grateful he’d followed the teachings of his father and packed basic rations in his carisak. Clarus had impressed upon Iris and him never to travel unprepared, and tonight that meant they all had dinner. It was meager fare, but they set upon it with a will as they planned their next moves.

“We can’t go back to Insomnia,” Noctis said. “Not if they’re after Lunafreya.”

“But Argentamth is there,” Prompto argued. He turned to face Gentiana. “You can heal him too, right?”

“Yes,” Gentiana nodded. “Lunafreya is also capable.”

“Can we really abandon our Weyr?” Lunafreya asked softly.

“You need to go,” Regis said implacably. “When the Weyrleader calls a meeting, all riders must be in attendance.”

Noctis scowled, but knew his father was right. In the past few weeks since that horrific Threadfall had killed Gladio’s father and injured his own, Noctis had spent every possible moment at his father’s side. He was grateful for Prompto’s help even as he felt guilty for neglecting his Lucith.

I don’t feel neglected, his dragon insisted. Argentamth’s rider is pleasant.

“And you should check on that bronze of yours, too,” Regis added, as if he could hear Noctis’s thoughts and his mental exchange with his draconic partner.

Six sevendays had passed, and Prompto was frustrated.

Cecil had made him move to the infirmary when the black spread from his hand, up his arm, and across his chest. But he felt fine! He didn’t need to be cooped up and restricted to bed rest, he needed to be out there fighting Thread with his wingmates.

The Six’s promised salvation had yet to manifest, though every evening the Weyrleader regaled the assembled riders with tales of their alleged glory. More and more dragonriders and weyrfolk were buying into the dream that these Six could stop Thread.

But in the meantime, Thread continued to fall. Dragons continued to sicken. They and their riders continued to die.
