Dragon Challenge: when it rains (Astro, Bin/Dongmin, AO3-T)

Sat, 30 Mar 2024 03:17:12 GMT

Posted by: nagi_schwarz

Title: when it rains

Author: nagi_schwarz

Fandom: Astro

Pairing/Ship: Bin/Dongmin, background Dongmin/Jinwoo

Rating: AO3-T

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, implied/referenced character death

Word count: ~11,000

Summary:

The man standing before Dongmin is a dragon.

Dongmin knows this, because his grandmother told him stories about the dragons, the great storm gods of old, with their gleaming scales and shining pearls and the power to bring the wind and the rain.

Dongmin doesn’t believe in dragons. He is a man of logic and reason, of evidence and fact.

And, in fact, the man standing before him is a dragon.

Author Notes: Also written for the whatif_au Challenge #65 Immortal Character and also Happy Eunwoo Day! And so much gratitude to the lovely brumeier for her cheerleading and beta help.

Linking here to my seasonal cards that I sent out Dec '23 - Jan '24. I invented tiny dragons that live in our native plants and trees. They're hand made so each pic was different - here are several samples where I cleaned up the the original pics a bit and posted digital versions.

September Challenge: Authority Figures Appreciation!!!

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 20:31:07 GMT

Posted by: watersoter

First Monday in September is Labor Day here in the US, so in honor of the holiday, this month we are celebrating and honoring those in authority or those in charge: bosses, supervisors, team leaders, parents, older siblings, guardians, etc.

Here are some examples from some of fandoms I'm more familiar with. I'm just using a small sample of these fandoms, so don't feel like you have to limit yourself to them:

Gibbs, DiNozzo, Morrow, Shepard: NCIS; Hotchner, Rossi, Strauss: Criminal Minds; Don, Alan, Charlie: Numb3rs; Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, Han Solo: Star Wars; Josh Lyman, Toby Ziegler, Leo McGarry, Jed Bartlet: West Wing; John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir: Stargate Atlantis; Leonardo, Splinter, Raphael: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; Charles Xavier, Scott Summers: X-Men; etc.

Whatever you decide to create; multimedia, multifandom, original work, as long as its honoring someone bosses, supervisors, parents, older siblings, or anyone in a position of authority or in charge, you're golden!!

You have all of September and the first week of October to post your creations and you can posting right now!

As always these are our basic rules:

- all entries must have a header (code in the box below) -- warnings for major issues/triggers are a must (like dub/non-con, graphic violence/torture, etc.)

- all longer entries and larger images must go under a cut

- you may post your creation elsewhere, but you must put up a post linking to it on Story Works, either on LJ or DW

- you do not have to be on LJ or DW to take part, the mods can post for you, you just need to give us the link to your work and the header information.

- please tag your entry with at least the challenge tag (flash challenge for this one). If you need a new fandom tag, ask the mods and we'll create one for you :)

Here's the header for posting:
