ideas for “primal” fic
* spear and mira attempt to parent the baby dinos when fang goes off to hunt. their opposite ways of caring for them show their individual approaches toward child-rearing (spear being an experienced father and mira being childless)
* spear becomes sick (his major fear) and mira attempts to get him to rest and let her care for him
* spear has a nostalgic dream about his mate, triggering a bout of grief that mira and fang can relate to and sympathize with but struggle to heal him from
* mira tries to teach spear her language and both mourn the slight but still present communication gap between them
* while on a hunt, spear and fang kill a creature sacred to mira’s people. mira is devastated and tries to impart the spiritual significance of the animal to spear to mixed and melancholy results
* mira teaches spear to dance
* spear attempts to cure fang of her fear of snakes
* the babies go on their first hunt alone
* fang inadvertently causes internal conflict between her children when she begins favoring one over the other
* spear and mira huddle together for warmth but spear is reluctant due to unease with prolonged human affection and lingering loyalty to his mate. he goes to cuddle fang and the babies instead. mira is hurt and tries to show spear physical affection in other ways only for him to rebuff her awkwardly at every turn.
* spear teaches mira to paint on cave walls but becomes slightly jealous when she’s a better artist than him
* spear and fang and mira accidentally ingest some hallucinogenic mushrooms and have pseudo-religious experiences
* spear and mira bathe in a stream and accidentally see each other naked. they don’t know what to do about the awkward tension so they ignore each other
* spear is so shocked by mira's hair that he instantly pulls it all out until she's bald again
* mira undergoes a shopping montage (each time she comes out of the bushes in a new outfit, spear and fang shake their heads in disapproval)
