Summary for artist: During his night shift in Dragon Institute, Charlie Weasley finds a small foreign dragon whom he presumes dead.

But that is not the end - the dragon, in contrary to all the lore, is non-threatening, friendly... Merlin's pants, it even smiles! In order to save his new little friend from being imprisoned in the Institute for the rest of its life, Charlie sets out for a long journey into the north to find the dragon’s home and family. When they arrive on the island of Berk though, Charlie is forced to face not only a pack of foreign dragons and their no less scary keepers, but also a bunch on unpleasant truths about who he is and what the wizarding world's lore - and he himself - had done to the dragons.

Rating: PG-13
Current fic word count: ~10k
Mini or Big bang: Big Bang
Warnings: none
Summary for artist: If there’s one thing that Jensen never wants to hear about again in his life, it’s dragons. That sounds completely bizarre but that’s what happens when you’re in love with an eccentric archaeologist who has a penchant for rambling about dragons when he’s drunk. And when he’s sober. And…well, at any given time of the day. However, Jensen finds himself becoming enamoured when Jared’s given a dragon egg to look after and their lives change drastically.
#9: Title: Aarade
Fandom/Pairing: Supernatural RPF (Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki)

Summary for artist: Jared’s story read like many other fairytales did. A beautiful princess, beloved by one and all, was abducted by a dragon. The King of the land had called forth his bravest knights to rescue the princess. Jared, one of the most courageous men of the kingdom, had taken the task of rescuing the princess upon himself. The Knight rode at the speed of the wind towards the dragon’s lair. And in the castle, that no man ever set foot in, Jared found the princess. In the end, Jared rescued the princess and found his true love. His story was similar to all other fairytales in all but one way: The hero fell for the villain. Will Jared’s love be able to conquer all and give him a happily ever after?
