Go Forth, and Save the Dragon

,

Summary:

Paralogism, with added Wanderer. Supporting Mini Durin in his endeavour to fuse with his corrupted Dragonspine counterpart and become human has to be the hardest thing he’s done recently, but… anything for his fledgeling. The terror is part of them growing up, surely.

Can be read as a standalone!

Notes:

I have so much beef with this quest. Writing this is as much an attempt at a mild fix-it as a way to ease myself into accepting what happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad Mini Durin gets to be part of Genshin's future and gets stuff to do! There's more to life than just being cute. But still... well. Let's let Kintsugi speak on this one. As he finds acceptance, so will I, surely. Also 🤬🤬🤬 Hoyo don't say he's invited and then DON'T INVITE HIM 🤬🤬🤬

...I'm not salty. Nod-Krai is on the horizon. They can still compensate for this. I have my eye on them, and my survey comments are scorching. And hey, this is what fanfic is for. It's just as fictional as the game! I reject their canon and substitute my own. :P

It's time to upload; no more stalling, even if my notes are still a bit of a mess right now. I'll figure out the rest as I go along; I always do :D Time for a new adventure!

12 chapters is a rough estimate. STC. -Uncle Sun (gn).

Lumier outdid herself again!! Look at that pastel/blood contrast. Fairytales and grim reality have never been illustrated so aptly. :'D
