There's been this on-going battle with myself over the lack of porn in the dragonrider AU. My solution so far has been to consider possibly doing porny codas, since I'm worried about the sequel being COMPLETELY overrun with porn, ahaha. Right now, I am babbling at harriet_vane about how Jon and Brendon get stuck in a shed during a bad thunderstorm and are all wet and breathless and end up having sex for the first time. Because obviously I am writing horrible romance novels instead of adventure fantasy stories. OH WELL.

Also, I've been thinking about having a Q&A about the story ever since I went on vacation. IDK, I love talking about dragons and boys, and I felt like I couldn't really talk about it too much before BBB went live! So, if you want, feel free to comment with a question about any aspect of the storyline/pairings/backstory, and let me babble at you, too. :D

After the final scene, how do Ryan and his dragon learn to work together and trust each other? Is it an active process or does it happen as they spend more time together?

Well, here's something that will (hopefully) be worked into the sequel somehow: when Ryan shot up the machine that was taking Sy's telepathy power, he inadvertently took some of Sy's thoughts and memories into his own mind, which is how a Rider and a dragon bond. Of course, neither one of them really KNOW this, but eventually Ryan realizes that he has some of Sy's memories from before the raids. So basically, through fate and luck, the two of them managed to bond under extraordinary circumstances, and from there they sort inherently trust one another. Like soulmates. But Sy's pretty fucked up, and Ryan's greener than green, so it's not so much a trust issue as it is them learning the actual physical mechanics behind being dragon and Rider.
