a dragon is a devourer

carnivorous concept, conqueror wyrm. your scales are so shiny, let me make them mine. down the hatch into context and comparison and no way out, intertextual inseparable invincible me. weren't you so lonely as a local lizard? isn't it be better to be part of something Bigger? hope you like fire, it's yours now. burn as bright as you want, they'll never see you again. Maybe a YA author will see your story on wikipedia at 2am and decide to add some "flavor" to the plot they practiced on Ao3, but you know what they'll say? the readers and fans?

"My favorite was the dragon" and my tale my tail my tale never ends
