15-minute-ficlet, 30daysmeme, "Damn dragons, get off my lawn!"

Day 2 of 30 days of Fiction: "2) Write a scene with a drunken mythological creature."
15 minute fiction prompt: "Obnoxious Dragons."

There was a drunk dragon on my front lawn again.

The new neighbors had moved in six months ago, at the beginning of winter, into the cavern-and-castle system the ogres had vacated, mom, dad, two kids and an egg, with a pet that they called a dog, I think out of a sense of misplaced irony. And, for a while, everything had been fine. I mean, we'd been living next door to ogres. We were just glad to have the carrion smell gone (fumigated, even. Dragons make good fumigators.)

But once the weather had warmed up, their oldest kid (again with the misplaced irony; they called him Jimmy) had started joyriding and taken up drinking in a big way. Everything they did was big, of course; now take that and multiply it by teenage hormones and rebellion.

Summary of the last so often

The Drakeathon E-book, Tales for the Sugar Cat, is now On Smashwords and Available for review on Goodreads!

I challenged you to write to dailyprompt. (Post here if you did so and want me to aggregate the responses to that challenge).

meeks did a lot lot lot of awesome art (including more on the Ayla sketch and on Rin's nose and an icon for meee).

I've started three new settings, one of which needs a title, the other one of which doesn't:
The Foundation/Library:
Hello
Training
Ants, Grasshoppers, Magpies
The Cathedral
The Inhospitable Planet:
Moving In
Dancing for Joy
(You'll see the other one in the next few days, but that one's Facets of Dusk)

I wrote some on Stranded World:
Stepping Around
Day Job

And on FaeApoc: Invisibles

We put in an offer on a new house, and it was accepted.
My job moved, and it was stressful.
We hiked a lot, and it rocked.

I'm planning on writing for kink_bingo, stay tuned for from 5 to 25 pieces of smut.

This piece was weird but fun
This piece was just weird.

I should do these more often

Kink_Bingo, #SmutSunday, Facets of Dusk: The Uniform.

Rating: PG-13 for sexual innuendo

It wasn't his uniform, but it fit him, and it felt good.

Cole straightened the sleeves - powder blue. Who put their military officers in powder blue? - and checked the set of the jacket in his reflection in a car window, then set off down the street. It took only a couple steps to get back into the proper cadence, and not even that long to get the posture right. He'd been out of uniform for a couple years, sure, but the Air Force never really left you.

Their salutes were a bit strange here, but he'd watched officers and enlisted grunts interact for half an hour before he stole the uniform. It wasn't hard to imitate the gesture, which the academic sorts had mentioned was Roman-esque; the attitude he didn't have to fake. As long as he didn’t run into anyone who knew the officer he was pretending to be, he should be fine. Of course, in a city as crawling with military as this one, that wasn’t a very safe bet. He rounded the corner, intent on his destination, and nearly bumped into another powder blue uniform.
