descendants fandom
Books
Movies
Diffrent universes with little overlapping
Animation very very small overlapping. Only thing in common is the first movie.
And the actors can say and do what ever they want. They can have their own head cannons and cutesy things even if the cannon doesn't support because its fiction and its supposed to be whimsical and fun.

Whispers what if Jay was friends with Harry and mal
This is a very interesting brotp dynamic! I’m always down to explore what different dynamics could be and this one seems like it has potential to be very fun. Again I feel like it would be banter central, constant mocking at the other’s expense. I feel like it would be quite an active frienship, like training with one another and racing back to the dorms etc.
I feel like they’d have a good laugh together despite all the mocking and tomfoolery. Pranking together!!! Jay is always very clsoe to punching Harry because the pirate is such a flirt, and he especially likes to flirt with Carlos which has Jay steaming.
All three of them are reluctant in their studies, the others are always trying to coax them into study sessions. Mal and Harry hate anything to do with mathematics and they’ll pass notes playing hangman instead...a stick figure who looks exactly like Doug...👀
Jay and Harry ganging up to tease Mal about how whipped she is for Evie, and constantly teasing her about being so small. Mal and Jay teasing Harry about how much of a simp he is for Uma (goes without saying), and surprisngly how easy it is for Ben to be the one to make Harry lose his cool.
Mal goes to Jay and Harry when she’s riled up and needs to rant to someone who won’t try and calm her down. Mainly because Harry is cracking jokes and Jay is making sure Mal doesn’t hold back. The trio are the culprits for how Dude learned to swear.

mal raises an eyebrow at him. “that’s some really shitty reasoning, jay. we all have to do things we don’t want to do.” she sighs, sitting down next to him. “why don’t you try telling me the real reason? you should know by now that you don’t have to hide things from me.” she places a hand on his shoulder, giving him a pointed look.

How did Jay and Mal meet?
- On a particular day, Maleficent had been watching tv when one of her henchman had stumbled in, covered in small cuts and bruises. Immediately demanding to know what had happened, the large man was embarrassed to admit that the injuries were due to a child who had also managed to steal his sword.
- Well that’s not something that Maleficent hears on a regular basis.
- She sent out the rest of her henchman to find the kid, and so they did. (But not without their fair share of injuries as well)
- And so, a few hours later, a very annoyed boy was brought to the Evil Fairy. It was obvious that he was extremely surprised (and a tad afraid) at the sight of who had summoned him. Still, Maleficent was obviously more curious than upset.
- He revealed his name (Jay) and told the woman he was the son of Jafar, a man who Maleficent recalled having a small shop up the street.
- The two used to be villains met up for a small ‘chat’ and immediately started talking. It wasn’t long until Maleficent introduced Jafar and his son to her own daughter, Mal.
- Like their parents, the two clicked and the rest was history.

do you have any hcs of the vks dealing with panic and anxiety attacks when they have flashbacks of the isle?
hmmm
mal - mal BLOCKS IT OUT i promise. she definitely has chosen to repress some stuff. and when she digs them up, i think she a. has insomnia, b. shuts everyone out for a little while, and c. watches one of her go to comfort things (im thinking blue is the warmest color, the office, and cry’s let’s play of life is strange).
jay - jay, like i mentioned before, i hc that he has panic attacks pretty heavily. i wrote about it more detailed here, but basically i imagine him having them the same way i do. heavy breathing, clenching his fists/gripping things tightly, etc. i wrote it there but i’ll write it here too - he (and i) uses a breathing technique from this video to calm himself. i would think he uses other breathing techniques too, and also throws himself into school/sports/etc trying not to think about it.
evie - evie tries every method in the book to avoid anxiety/panic attacks. she knows she’s stronger than them, and sometimes she can’t help it, but she tries really hard. she does yoga, goes on long walks, focuses on her fashion designing, literally everything. but sometimes it does hit her, and she is just paralyzed with fear. she can’t move until it subsides. when she thinks or knows (usually, it’s that she knows; she feels nausea, gets a migraine, and has a crawly feeling up her spine) she’s going to have one, she calls carlos and asks him to come sit with her and make sure she’s okay. of course, he always does.
carlos - carlos’s panic attacks are just crying. he gets so built up and anxious he just bursts into tears and can’t stop. (this is another version of panic attacks that i have pretty regularly.) usually one of the other four will come hold him until he calms down. jay wraps his arms around his shoulders and pets his hair, mal holds his hand and whispers for him to calm down, evie basically just spoons him. and dude will always be nearby, sitting at his feet or in his lap. the only thing that calms him as of right now is physical contact and dude. but he’s trying other stuff as to not feel like a burden on his friends. (he’s not. they would all be there every time he has a panic attack if he’d let them. he doesn’t.)

I’m so sorry but I wanna hear you rant so fandom ask 003 for Mal
Ranting about Mal is confirmed to be my brand at this point 
003 | Give me a character & I will tell you
How I feel about this character: That I miss Descendants 1 her, since she was actually a little likeable and the only problems found with her was the love spell thing and the fact that she obviously humiliated Audrey with said love spell, but Descendants 2 just made her slowly dislikeable with how she can do whatever she wants, including trying to spell her boyfriends memories when he found out she was lying, and still get away with it cause the story will twist it to be everyone elses fault, and Descendants 3 just made her completely hard to like anymore, since she willingly plans to close the barrier forever so no more VKs, manipulates Ben into agreeing and then lies to her friends and uses Uma with a false promise to free the VKs and once more, SHE NEVER HAS TO DEVELOP- she gets forgiven way too easily, and this is ignoring how she treated Audrey in Audrey’s own diary and how she treated Uma and Evie in both books and films. All the people I ship romantically with this character: No one really, unless you count fanon!Ben X Mal, since fandom can at least write them better, but Mal’s lied to everyone in her friend group, has bullied three-four characters/humiliated those characters and is toxic as fuck with Ben, including attempting to use magic on him- Mal doesn’t need romance, she needs therapy at the rate shes going. My non-romantic OTP for this character: I do enjoy the BROTP she and Jay had going in the first book, just wish the films had adapted it better then Jay enabling Mal to blame Ben for her own problems in D2.  My unpopular opinion about this character: To be honest, feel like a lot of the problems with Mal isn’t really unpopular in this fandom, but I guess this could count: that Mal made that choice willingly in D3. Is Beast a dick in D3? Yes, but I do not see him or Belle pressuring Mal to make that choice, Mal made it very willingly and did not suggest ANYTHING else, therefore, this defense of Mal being pressured in that scene isn’t really true from what I’ve seen in that scene.  One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That she had something called character development, consequences and all. Descendants 1 HINTED that she could be developing and maybe sequel would continue that development, but Descendants 2 did not and instead, showed Mal acting like Ben forced her to be this perfect lady when he never did, showed her trying to spell Ben when he catches her lying and then getting prissy when he panics at nearly being spelled again and fleeing to the Isle, but the story refuses to let have her consequences and instead, blames everyone but her, the same happening in D3 where they ALMOST show her friends being done with her, but then force the friends to forgive her by the end, so she never has to change and develop and when your main character won’t develop while others have to take the blame for her actions and crap, its not great writing, its a dumpster fire someone refused to put out.

Spidey *Descendants* Ships:
I've answered the questions about ships I like through a tier system ages ago but I feel like listing them again. This is probably going to be a long post, since as I said I ship a lot. If anything isn't on here it's because I don't care or don't think about them enough.
Category: Babies™/I would die for them/none will compare to how strongly I love them aka my favourite ships
Rotten ot4 (Mal/Carlos/Evie/Jay) - I write a lot of ot4, it's where my mind naturally goes for them because I love all of the dynamics within that too much. Marlos are my fave dynamic within that tho.
Malvie + Jaylos - I can ship these outside of the ot4. I like them a lot and either way I ship these, these two will always be romantic for me. The other dynamics I only ship within an ot4 scenario, or platonically.
Category: the good shit/iconic King and Queen shit/ships I really like but I'm not as passionate about
Huma + Sea 3 - these are two very good ships and again it can be romantic or platonic for me, both are good.
Sea 3 + Ben - I really like all of their interactions and I can very much get into the idea of them as an ot4
Ben + Harry - I think it's the "coochie coo" thing that did it for me, I think they have a lot of potential and if not explicitly romantic then Harry at the very least flirts with Ben on a daily basis
Category: soft™/these are nice to think about/filed under cuties but I don't think about them as much
Benlos (Ben/Carlos) - every now and again I get random thoughts about them, because they're cute 🥺 and I like them dancing together in D1. (I also think of them as a brotp and very occasionally as an ot5)
Jannie (Jane/Lonnie) - the potential!!!! I feel like they'd be super cute and I can see them going on double dates with Jaylos a lot. I am a sucker for tall and smol pairings where you think the one who's small is quiet but they're actually super badass and the tall badass one but is super soft for her gf. Yes!!!!!!
Luma (Lonnie/Uma) - I think I'm the only one that actually ships this but I just feel like they'd be really good together. The potential is there! I feel like they'd always be sparring together and I feel like they're a good match. I can really see it and I feel like Uma would have a lot fo respect for Lonnie and vise versa.)
Gil/Jay - they're cute. I am very low-key about them, because I'm so into rotten ot4 and Jaylos I'm never fully in with these two. But I still appreciate the cuteness and I feel like they'd be really good bros.
Category: hmmm/the potential/I don't think about them a lot but they're okay or exes only
Balvie - cuteeeee. Like they'd be super cute and they'd be able to balance one another out quite well. This is really only how I can get into Ben/Mal as a romantic ship, idk for me I just need Evie in there. They're like brawn, brain and beauty all mixed into one ot3, there's not a lot of content for them but I'm definitely into the idea.
Umal (Mal/uma) - I only like them as exes. I don't care for anything where they're written as enemies, I'm tired of that. Umal as besties that occasionally flirt with one another to get a rise out of the other, or as exes. None of this enemies crap, I'm not here for it.
Jarry (Jay/Harry) - again, only ever as exes. I don't think they'd ever get together in any other capacity. I like their dynamic and their banter, so I can see them as a brotp who bicker like they're a married couple, but nothing mroe than that. So both Uma and Mal, and Harry and Jay have a banter type friendship (at least in my mind)
Ot5 (Rotten ot4 + Ben) - only in specific circumstances, but I do think the potential is there and I like them. I am reading a really good ot5 fic that has such good potential and for someone who is very low-key about them it's one of my favourite fics within this fandom. So not always but definitely not against them either!
Category: brotps I could get behind ✌️/platonic only
Jay + Ben - bonding over tourney, Jay teasing Ben about how he has a crush on every VK he meets.
Mal + Jay + Ben - banter Central, Mal and Jay teasing Ben, Ben fully encouraging both Jay and Mal in tourney and art. I feel like Ben would be super supportive and it would definitely throw Mal and Jay off a lot
Evie + Harry - Harry as Evie's model because he loves to talk about fashion and he's open to any fashion ideas she has. A very soft and playful friendship is what I imagine.
Carlos + Harry + Mal - the chaotic three. I feel like they're pranking constantly, they're the Kings and Queen of comebacks because they've always got a one-liner up their sleeves. They're always bantering and bickering, but I feel like they're a very underrated friendship and they have a lot of potential
Uma + Carlos (and probably Evie) - study buddies. They're the squad that are constantly rolling their eyes at the others and judging people together. Smart and resourceful and they're the squad that captures everyone's attention because they have A+ looks
Mal + Harry - nicknames galore. Bantering non-stop, but also a side of softness because they can just vibe when the other is upset. Silly shenanigans and teasing one another relentlessly. The type of friends to send an "ugly" photo of the other in the group chat.
Rotten four + Sea 3 - like just give me this squad and explore the different dynamics between them. I don't want any fighting, I just want them as a super squad kicking ass and working through their traumas together. That's all.
Category: NO/get the hell away from me/not in this lifetime Satan 🚫
D*vie (D***/Evie) - never. I have a very fond hc where Evie infact buries D*** in her castle garden and that's the nicest thing I can think of when it comes to them. I didn't like him from the start and if anything the more I see him the more I despise him.
Anything with Chad - sorry, I just don't like him. He's good for blaming, like if I'm writing something where someone says something to the Vks it's usually him as the antagonist type. There's no ship I care for his presence in. I think I saw one gifset months back with Chad and Ben having a cute/dorky interaction but otherwise I could not care less about him.
Honestly, anything with Audrey in too is generally a no-go for me. I just don't care. I don't like Audrey at all, I can sympathise with some things but not enough to make me want to ship her with anyone. That's all I'm going to say.

@irethsune Thank you! ♥️ I'll do Carlos & Harry later in a separate post, so I'm just gonna answer the Carlos & Chad ones below:
6. How would they react to being asked if they were dating?
Chad scoffs loudly in a way that seems at once offended and flattered. You know, the kind of expression that says, “Linda, I would never, I couldn’t even imagine” at the same time as the eyes dart aside to whisper, “unless…”
Carlos, for his part, has nearly sucked down his straw in horror. He’s choking on his slushie, feeling the burn of cherry down his throat in a way that will scar him. He will never again be able to see or taste this flavour of slushie without thinking of this moment. His eyes are dark and hollow as he raises his head to look at the one who did this to him.
It’s Doug’s cousin, Hap. He is grinning like a soulless creature, like he knows what he’s done here and he revels in it.
The utter bastard.
8. How would they react to a 3 AM phone call from the other?
Carlos has silenced all alerts from Chad’s number, so he doesn’t notice there’s a missed call until he grabs his phone to shut his alarm off in the morning. He squints at the timestamp on the missed call. But it’s Chad and he only called once, so Carlos doesn’t really care. He forgets about it until he’s sitting in the cafeteria with Mal, Jay, Evie, and a few of their AK friends. Much as he hates to admit it, he’s distracted. He keeps scanning the room for a sign of Chad, but nothing…
He excuses himself from the table a little early, claiming he forgot a textbook in the dorm. He soon finds himself in front of Charming’s door with a fist raised, about to knock. He regrets everything that has led him to this moment. Literally, when did he develop this much of a conscience? He shouldn’t feel guilty over the idea of walking away.
A good compromise, he decides, is to knock three times in sharp succession, count to ten, and run.
That doesn’t quite work out, since Chad opens the door before Carlos even reaches “four.”
Chad’s in a plush blue bathrobe with his hair a mess, dark circles under his red-veined eyes, and a tissue stuffed up each nostril. He looks sick, at first, but on closer inspection, it’s obvious he’s been crying, which can only mean one thing…
“You slept with it on again, didn’t you?”
Chad sniffles and nods, slowly fishing the pieces of his broken 3D-printed crown out from his bathrobe pockets.
Sighing, Carlos crosses his arms. “Alright… I can fix it before lunch, but it’s going to cost you double.”
11. What do they say that makes the other immediately reply, “No.”
“I’ll come with you!” to absolutely anything anywhere, including a date with Jay on Friday night.
“No,” says Carlos, planting his foot on Chad’s chest and trying to shove him back so he can shut the car door.
Jay, at least, can find some humour in the way this goldendoodle of a prince can’t seem to leave his boyfriend alone. He has the keys in the ignition and his foot hovering above the gas, but he’s fine to sit there smirking as he watches Carlos struggle to get rid of Chad, who’s now insisting on paying for dinner, which really doesn’t sound so bad to Jay…
“NO,” Carlos says again, contorting to jab a finger into Chad’s chest right above the foot he still has planted there. “Our project’s not due until Monday and like I already told you, I can do it myself! Take the free A and get the hell out of my car, Chad.”
Chad stumbles back with a pout, shoulders slumping. “It’s Jay's car,” Carlos hears him mumble as he shuts the door.
Jay must hear him, too, because he smirks when Carlos glances at him expectantly. “It is my car,” Jay teases.
“Yeah, well, if you want me in it, you better fucking drive,” Carlos mutters, sinking down in his seat to try and block out the view of Chad on the sidewalk, staring after them like an abandoned puppy. God, he’s really too much…

Dragon Afternoons
Love Like Dragons AU
Bevie | Jay & Lonnie | Mal & Audrey BROTP | Little Dragons
Evie was deeply flustered. Throwing another wadded paper ball at the overflowing trash bin, she missed and hit Mal - her five year old Isle Dragon - in the head. The mean eyed purple beast grunted unhappily at being woken from where she slept by the wall heater, and Evie lifted a hand to her lips with a little gasp.
“Oh, Mal. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you,”
The dragon snorted, as though saying ‘sure you didn’t’, and tossed her head slightly.
“I’m just so frustrated,” Evie said to her best friend, who stood and stretched with a gaping, toothy yawn, “I’m supposed to be designing these gowns for the Imperial Ball next month but I’m stumped. If I don’t come up with something soon I’ll miss my deadline!”
Beginning to worry, Mal leapt up from the floor and crawled onto Evie’s shoulder. Giving the woman a warm cheek bump as a form of comfort, the blunette chuckled weakly, “thanks M. But I’m not sure what to do,”
Mal, being a dragon, couldn’t answer with words. But she lifted her shoulders, as if shrugging in the face of Evie’s current predicament. After all, what did a dragon know about fashion or clothes? Sighing a bit in defeat, Evie rubbed the place between her brows with a thumb and forefinger. At this same moment, there was a loud THUNK as something rammed into the outside of her study door. Standing, Mal gave a little rattling question as Evie gently turned the handle.
Three month old Dizzy tumbled head first into the office, rolling like a pinwheel on her back before settling on her belly with a squeak and a huff. She had only been hatched a few months prior, but already was the size of a small kitten. Her paint splatter markings only seemed to grow brighter and more numerous as she grew, and her massive floofy lion tail was still as untamed as ever.
“Dizzy!” Evie exclaimed, squatting down to pick the dragonling up off the floor, “you poor thing. What are you doing?”
Dizzy gave a little squeak, and Mal snorted rather loudly on Evie’s shoulder to assert her presence as ‘Aunty Mal’. Shortly though, Ben appeared around the corner looking a tad flustered.
“Sorry E! I didn’t mean for her to get away from me,”
“It’s ok. But what are you doing?”
Passing Dizzy to Ben, who dropped her into the pocket of his jeans, the man smiled.
“Jay called; he wants to meet the dragonlings. And it’s such a nice day, I thought maybe some time outside would be good for them. And you, if you’d like?”
“Oh Ben, that’s so thoughtful,” Evie mumbled, “but I have this huge deadline and I’m so stumped,”
“Well, maybe a short picnic with friends will inspire you?” Ben suggested, quivering as Dizzy clambered back out of his pocket and up the side of his blouse, “you could use a break, love. You’re overwrought. And Jay wants to get to know you.”
“Jay. He was the best man at our wedding? The one with the long hair?”
“Right. He’s really cool, we played Tourney together in school. There’s someone else coming who I think you’d like to meet as well,”
“His girlfriend?” Evie asked, already turning off the light to her study. Maybe a moment outside would jog her poor, crazy brain.
“Sort of. It’s a surprise,” Ben insisted, wincing as Dizzy sat directly on his head, “and she’s on my head,”
“I got her,” Evie chuckled, taking the dragonling off her husbands hair with a little nose kiss, “she’s such a little dear,”
“If that’s what we’re calling it,” Ben huffed, mimicking Mal a tad as he straightened his shirt, “now, shall we go? You’ve got your sketchbook?”
“Always,” Evie laughed, tucking Dizzy into the pocket of her skirt where she curled up for a nap. Mal was a big help in wrangling Ceila, the eldest hatchling, holding her by the scruff. While Audrey — Ben’s Aurorian Dragon — had Carlos clinging to her back and snoozing away. Only when they were all in the car on their way to the park did Evie allow her mind to wander. Currently, all of her designs felt...wrong somehow. They didn’t capture the essence of royalty and grandeur that the Imperial Ball represented. And she wanted her designs to be exceptional, as Ambassadors from all over the world would be present.
It was a huge deal. And Evie was kinda freaking out over it.
As they neared their destination - the same park Ben and Evie first met - the young couple began leashing up the dragonlings. Though Mal and Audrey were sure to stay close by, Dizzy and Ceila would definitely run off. Carlos was still much to small to run away on his own, and Evie was certain he wouldn’t stray far from mom. As usual, Ceila was a bullet right out the gate, followed closely by Dizzy as the two were usually partners in crime. Mal and Audrey sat on their consecutive owners shoulders, keeping an eye on the little ones from above.
Still thinking about her designs, Evie almost missed the flash of green, red and gold in the trees.
“Evie, look up,”
And she did, and her breath was stolen instantly. A beautiful, absolutely gigantic serpent ran above them. Plated in metallic, colorful scales, the monster was the most elegant thing Evie had ever seen. It ran on the wind itself, wingless but still somehow flying. It’s face was like a lion, with large golden cat like eyes, and floating tendrils of black fur which rippled like water on the breeze.
“Oh my...”
Evie, still astounded, jumped as the creature dove suddenly. Twisting its long body around, it caught a flying frisbee in its square jaw. It then flew back towards the ground where a young man in a tank top happily took the disk, and gave the dragon a pat on the head.
“Jay!” Ben called out, “over here!”
“Ben! What’s up, man!”
Jay was tall and muscular, and had Evie not already been married, he was certainly dating material. His smile was boyish and innocent, and he happily took Ben’s outstretched hand before pulling him into a ‘guy hug‘, “glad you could make it out. It’s been forever,” Jay spoke, “hey foxy lady. I hear life’s been good to you, huh?”
Audrey trilled happily as she let Jay gently tickle the underside of her chin, preening at the touch.
“And Evie,” Jay said, turning to the woman with a grin, “nice to see you again. And who’s this?”
Motioning to Mal, who looked severely unimpressed by Jay, Evie chuckled. Dragons had been prohibited at the actual wedding ceremony, despite having snuck in away. So Jay hadn’t technically met Mal yet, other then a possible glimpse.
“This is Mal, she’s...” Mal snorted at Jay, “difficult,”
“Nah, no worries. Lonnie is the same way, I totally get it,”
“Lonnie?”
“Yeah, my favorite lady. She’s over there...probably destroying that frisbee. Hey, Lonnie!” Jay gave a sharp whistle with his fingers as the massive serpent like dragon lifted her head. She still had the disk, but looked close to destroying it with massive teeth, “don’t eat that! Plastic is bad for you!”
The dragon gave a low rattle of annoyance before returning to her play time, and Jay shook his head, “sorry. She’s been cooped up while my parents are visiting. They aren’t big fans of Dragons. So, introduce me to the little ones,”
Kneeling down to where Ceila and Dizzy were running around Ben’s legs, they immediately came to investigate.
“This is Ceila and Dizzy,” Ben insisted, pointing to each Dragonling, “and then Carlos, the little brother.”
Gently picking up the runt from Audrey’s back, Jay laughed happily as he was placed within cupped palms. Evie’s heart melted at the sight of such a tough man holding such a tiny creature. It was very attractive.
“He’s so small,” Jay commented, “and no colors or anything?”
“His egg fell out of the nest and developed a crack,” Evie explained, swatting at Mal who was getting a bit agitated at just standing around. She always was the impatient one, “Uma thinks it’s a mutation,”
“Ah. Well, Uma is the dragon expert,” Jay nodded, giving Carlos back to Audrey who whistled in thanks, “well, come on over and meet Lonnie. And then we can eat. I brought takeout!”
And so they did, approaching the serpent dragon as a group. Up close, Evie could see now she had both fur and armored scales, her face surrounded by the softest looking white plumes. Her head was significantly larger then her body and square in shape, while her four legs had viciously sharp white talons.
“She’s beautiful,” Evie breathed, feeling Mal’s claws dig just a bit tighter into her skin. After all, unlike Audrey who Mal was only slightly smaller then, Lonnie was the size of a Great Dane, “what breed is she?”
“Imperial Dragon,” Jay answered, “got her from a breeder not to long ago. She’s a show Dragon. Catch and release, but also a bit of agility,”
“Catch and release?” Evie asked, grappling already for her sketchbook.
“Yeah. It’s a game to test a dragons ability to hunt. You release a clay pigeon on a fast track and let the Dragon go after it. It’s really fun to watch. Lonnie here is a world champion,”
Lonnie grumbled a response, and Evie glanced at Mal curiously. Other then the rats in the shed and the laundry on the line, Mal didn’t ever show much interest in hunting. She mostly played with her food before becoming bored and moving on to something else. Maybe she needed to give this catch and release idea a try?
“Think it would be ok for the little ones to meet?” Ben asked, keeping Ceila and Dizzy’s lines short, though they were already moving closer to the larger dragon in curiosity.
“Oh yeah. Lonnie is a big softie really. She just looks scary,”
And so Ben very carefully let out the lines. Evie glanced at Audrey, but she didn’t appear to worried and was actually checking out her claws. Mal was back to being vaguely annoyed with the whole thing, yawning and laying across Evie’s shoulders in the sun. Lonnie, who had now noticed the little dragons coming closer, dropped her frisbee. Evie, enamored, happily captured her long thin body, shimmering coin like scales and wavy Raven fur on paper.
The beast bobbed sideways for a moment, turning her head this way and that to have a better look. Her golden eyes widened into moons as her long furry tail flicked back and forth. The bells acting as her collar jingled as the little ones were finally upon her. And Evie, for a tense moment, thought she may leap for them. But instead she dropped to the ground, chin against the grass and nostrils flaring with happy play. She rolled onto her back as the baby dragons clambered up onto her underbelly, sliding down the ridges. Dizzy even managed to sit on her flat muzzle, staring the great beast in the face.
“Awe,” Evie crooned, “so cute. Ben take a picture,”
“I’m already on it,”
“Ah see, nothing to worry about!” Jay said, waving to the place where he’d set out a rather large blanket and boxes of takeout, “now how bout lunch. I’m starving.”
And so three adults, and six dragons all sat down for a meal together. While eating, Evie continued to color and make patterns. She smiled as the dragonlings slid down the serpents back like a slide, or when Mal got brave and batted at her ridge only to be easily pushed over by a gentle but playful paw. Audrey just napped in the sunshine, happy to get a bit of rest while holding little Carlos close to her to keep him warm.
“This has been a perfect afternoon,” Evie said when their food was nearly gone, and the fortune cookies were cracked and read aloud. Mal was currently eating a strawberry from her hand, content back on her shoulders, “and Lonnie is welcome at our house anytime. I’m sure the little ones would enjoy a visit from their second Aunty anytime,”
“Any more dragons and we’ll have to get a bigger house,” Ben complained to his wife as she beamed.
“You know I’m a dragon mom, Ben. Don’t even tempt me with that idea,”
“You walked right into that one,” Jay laughed, tossing a coconut prawn to Lonnie who caught it easily. Laughing easily, Evie glanced down at the sketchbook in her lap.
“Think you have enough to get those gowns done?” Ben asked her, leaning back on his hands and stroking Audrey’s head gently.
“I think so,” Evie answered, closing the book and tucking it back in her bag, “But we don’t have to go quite yet. I think I’d like to see some of that agility Jay was talking about.”
“That’s if we can find where Lonnie buried the frisbee,” Jay complained, causing more laughter. And as the sun began to set, Ben, Jay and Evie watched as Lonnie performed daring acrobatics for prawns, and the little dragons — tuckered out from a day of excitement — slept peacefully in pockets and bags.
A/N: And Lonnie and Jay are officially in the story! Make sure to ping me with other characters you may be interested in seeing :) Evie does need a bigger house...maybe a Dragon sanctuary *eyebrow wags*
