Title: Dignity of Dragons
Author: etrix
Art: Here by sophiap
Status of work: completed
Characters and/or pairings: Gen
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 51k
Summary: spn_j2_bigbang entry for 2012
Technically, Harley found the lizard (which was actually a dragon!) and Jared took it home because it was hurt (even though his mama had said no more pets). It was okay though, because Jared didn't intend to keep it. In fact, it had to have escaped from one of the government zoos (and having it in the house was probably dangerous), so Jared planned on returning it (but the dragon had plans of his own).

Reccer's notes: I'd admired the artwork when this work was first posted in 2012, but never got around to reading the actual story. In revisiting the art to see cagey, coffee adicted dragon!Jensen reaching out for a mug of his favorite brew I knew I had to make the time to read. Totally adorarable story, made me cry in parts because of the sad conditions of the captured dragons, but the surprise ending fills your heart with joy and easily sweeps the tears away. A lovely story, perfectly illustrated.

I love that story--and the art! Also? *Perfect* icon!

LOL! Thanks for finding me the link. I remember seeing the dragon art, but I really wanted to see caffeine junkie dragon!Jensen again! And the story certainly lived up to the art.

Great story! I showed the art to my daughter and nieces, and when they asked to translate the story, I said, Go learn English. XD

Now my daughter reads fanfics herself.

LOL! That's a hardcore way to learn english! LOL I don't think I could learn German that easily. Yeah for your daughter for rising to the challenge.

She reads fics for Soul Eater and SPN that are gen (I hope). I said, nothing higher than 16. (our rating system is age 0 - 6 - 12 - 16 - 18), and I hope she obeys. I don't want to discuss gay sex with a 13yo.
