My Big Bang entry for the Cap-Iron Man 2018 challenge, a Marvel 616/ Dragonriders of Pern AU. I had the good fortune to work with two fantastic artists, @kaitovsheiji and @phoenixmetaphor, both of whom produced multiple beautiful pieces to go along with this fic. Please follow the links to check them out! They both drew beautiful scenes and awesome dragons 😀
