  "writing": "The Dragon of the Lake\n\nPleasure Between Drakes\n\n\n\n\n\nGawain bounded down the slope, his entire body undulating as the earth-dragon bounced from his forepaws to his hind paws. Really, his manner of motion, when he ran as fast as he could, was more of a hop, using his powerful hindquarters to send his body forward in the expulsion of energy. The cool Autumn breeze licked at his scales, though it came with the cold bite of more wintery weather on it too that morning.\n\nThe dragon could not have said it was a pleasant morning by the standards of the weather – or at least what his personal preferences were in that matter. Gawain’s favourite weather, as he had divulged to Dafydd before, were to be found on sweet, spring mornings when the dew clung to individual blades of grass, but not for too long. He liked seeing the flowers unfurling their petals as they breathed once more, bringing life back to a land that, duly so, had still required the time to hibernate in the deep, dark throes of winter.\n\nOr maybe it was a particular time of year that Gawain preferred, his bronze-tone scales flashing as a strain of weak sunshine endeavoured to break through the grey clouds. A storm was coming – but not for a few hours yet, he was sure. He’d shelter then, deep within the comfortable, warm burrow he’d dug out for himself. First, he had to visit Dafydd.\n\nHis large, earth-churning claws skidded as he sought to bring himself to a rather abrupt stop at the edge of the lake, which had formed many, many years back when a glacier had melted. The scars of the ice passing, flowing even though it should have been a solid form, still marked the stone rising above the far side of the lake. The surface rippled, heralding the Water-dragon within, although it was unusual for Dafydd not to be skulking around, wanting to catch Gawain unawares.\n\n“If you come out of there,” Gawain said, lowering his head so his nose brushed the surface, marking his snout with a spot of moisture, “I’ll bring a sheep for you… You know the shepherds won’t mind very much if I don’t take one every month.”\n\nThe Water-dragon’s head rose fluidly, his muzzle more streamlined and elegant than Gawain’s. Traditional, his kind of dragon came with longer, slenderer jaws that were better-suited to catching fish, though there were not all that many fish to feed a dragon of his size in the glacial lake. They were adaptable enough, however, that they could eat other manners of meat too, though roots and berries and other more omnivorous sustenance would not give a dragon the energy needed to survive.\n\nThey had a deal with the local Welsh folk, however: rather nice people, in fact, even if dragons, duly so, preferred dragons. If they needed meat, they would simply trade their labour for it. Some dragons kept possessions in their caves and the like that they could sell or trade too, sometimes acquiring them through helping humans (the humans called it “work”) but Gawain especially preferred a simpler kind of transaction. It stopped the humans from worrying them so much when they needed to take a sheep or two, but Dafydd had more of a preference for beef, when it was available. The woolly, thickly covered sheep were more populous in their mountain home, however.\n\n“Hm… That is a tempting offer,” Dafydd crooned, his tone dropping in that special way that made Gawain shiver, tail rippling. “But I thought maybe I could tempt you to join me in here, Gawain. The water is lovely.”\n\nHe sculled lightly backwards, exposing his paler-blue stomach with the long, wide scales that ran across the width of his underbelly: a kind of camouflage. His body was thinner than Gawain’s, though he had leaner muscle on him that showed off his swimming agility, while Gawain was more heavily-built. That was just how the earth-dragon was about to make so many tunnels, boring down into the earth and even smashing through sizeable rocks as if, to him, it was simply no effort at all.\n\nDafydd quietly admired that, though he struggled saying it aloud. A more private kind of dragon, he’d spent many years swimming to the bottom of his lake whenever anyone came by, as if he could hide away suspiciously from the world while his belly grumbled. Hunting on land for his next meal while he enjoyed the cool caress of the water against his scales was not quite something that came naturally to him.\n\nGawain, however, was persistent. Perhaps resilient, like stone, though there was even a contradiction there in rock being worn away by water. But that was maybe getting into things a little too deeply for too dragons.\n\nIn brief, the stocky earth-dragon had worked his way into Dafydd’s heart and it was there he would stay, if either drake had anything to say about it.\n\nDafydd eyed the water with a snort and a grunt.\n\n“It looks a lot colder in there than it was over the summer,” he mused dubiously. “I don’t think I quite want to take you up on that one this time, sweetness.”\n\nDafydd quivered at the term of endearment, though rolled back over, hiding just how the slit at the base of his belly had puffed up at those words. How did Gawain have such an intense effect on him? To the water-dragon, it was merely one of the mysteries of the world at large.\n\nAnd not one he felt he needed to explore either. Sometimes, things could be simply as they needed to be and no more than that.\n\nAs Gawain dallied at the edge of the water, dipping in a front foot and then pulling it back sharply with a wrinkled muzzle, his heart skipped a beat. That funny little jump in his chest wasn’t something he’d felt before meeting the dragon, though he still didn’t all that much know what to do about that. Just what was he meant to consider the other half to his soul when Gawain fit the mould as if it had been made for him?\n\n“Come on,” he coaxed softly, catching the bronze dragon’s eye, admiring how even the weak, grey light danced off his body, making him look as if he had been caught alight by something holier than them. “It’s nice and cool in here and you can warm me up afterwards.”\n\nHis tongue flicked up to the roof of his mouth as if it wanted to stick there, but, heart pounding, the Water-dragon held fast. Gawain started, the tip of his tail swinging back and forth with the thicker, club-like protrusion right at the end, but he caught on quickly enough.\n\n“Oh… Oh!”\n\nHe grinned goofily, his jaws stretching into that typically draconian grin, even if his snout was a little shorter than Dafydd’s. The Water-dragon sank back, only the upper half of his head and jaw above the water, nostrils puckering and flaring. Even the cling of water droplets around his nostrils made him want to react, to snort and toss his head to rid himself of the mild irritation – yet, he did not. He wanted Gawain to join him in there too much, not to have him asking if anything was wrong and if he needed anything.\n\nGawain cared so much and perhaps that was exactly why Dafydd wanted to show him, in his own way, that he cared to. He cared very deeply, in fact, but had another way of showing it.\n\n“Well, when you put it like that…”\n\nGawain did not take all that much persuasion, to be fair to him, slowly walking into the water where it was shallow. The dragon picked up his feet high as if he was trying to avoid getting wet, whining as he shifted his weight to another foot, but he had to put his large, clawed feet down if he was going deeper.\n\n“You lied! It’s definitely colder!”\n\nDafydd laughed and swam closer, letting his long tail with the frill running the length of it graze Gawain’s side. The churr and trill the dragon gave was reward enough for him.\n\n“Mmm… Well, come in deeper and I’ll warm you up,” he coaxed. “I know you’re more than a strong enough swimmer, dear. There’s more than enough muscle on you to push your way all the way across the lake if you wanted to.”\n\n“Mm, only if I was chasing you…unff…Daf…”\n\nGawain pushed off into deeper water, his claws scrabbling as the pebbly bottom of the lake dropped away from him. The stones were mostly worn smooth with the passage of water and time easing over them, but there were some rougher edges where fresh rock had broken away from the cliff. Erosion still occurred, especially with the tumultuous Autumnal weather they faced in the Welsh mountains.\n\nBut it was worth it to kick off, his legs worked in opposing pairs as Gawain swam, kicking strongly. Swimming was not natural to him, though he sort of knew how to do it without being taught. It still was not comfortable for him, although he was more confident when he was out in the lake with Dafydd. If he ever got into trouble, the other dragon would swoop in and rescue him, like a knight in shining armour from one of those human stories. He liked those stories, though not the ones where they portrayed dragons as the “bad guys.” That was a weird stereotype humans had come up with.\n\nGawain hummed more contentedly as Daf swam around him, smoothly and sinuously. His body warmed, scales tingling deliciously, as the other dragon brushed against him, letting that long frill that was a good foot in height and ran down his back graze him with every pass. It was that light tease and physical contact that made him more eager than ever to be close to his partner. \n\n“Mmmm… You’re teasing me.”\n\nDafydd shot him a look, blue-green eyes glinting. Once, Gawain had teased him that his eyes were like pools of water below a waterfall: deep and inviting. Dafydd, of course, had countered by clarifying that being trapped under a waterfall could just as easily shove him to the bottom and pound him against the rocks as it could be a relaxing experience. It all depended on the force of the water and that was not something Dafydd had much experience with.\n\nHis lover, however, was swift to soothe him, gently ducking under the water and warbling musically, bubbles streaming from his lips and nostrils as he exhaled. Gawain tried to turn, to follow the path of his body moving through the water, but it was impossible as he doggy-paddled in place. His large front feet scooped and shaped the water to the best of his ability, but he would never match up to the grace of the Water-dragon’s innate ability when it came to being submerged.\n\n“Ah… Daf?”\n\nHe exhaled in a shudder as the dragon’s snout trailed down his body, from the curve of his powerful chest to the more delicate, vulnerable lines of his stomach. Gawain grunted, trying to paddle in place and keep his head above the water, though Dafydd was apt to make that more difficult than ever.\n\nFor that tapered nose ran down and down and down his body to his crotch and, well, Gawain was ever so slightly embarrassed as to how easily his erection was freed. The thick, ridged length of dragon meat slid free, pushing its way ostentatiously from his slit as if it could not be tucked away for a single moment longer. If there was any pre-cum gracing the tip, it was instantly washed away by the water.\n\n“Ohhh…”\n\nYet sensation remained as Gawain paddled and Dafydd showed him exactly what the long, flexible tongue of his could do. It snaked lustfully around his shaft as Gawain easily held his breath. Being a Water-dragon, of course, he could hold his breath for much longer than Gawain had even attempted and he nuzzled in close with a watery churr and a chirp.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnd preview.\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you for reading!

There is no rush, after all, for a shifter to uncover their shifted form, their true form, but he has a feeling that he already knows exactly what he is going to transform into.\n\nAnd that is why he stands in the mountains, the wind licking at his skin, brushing his hair softly back from his face. He is right where he needs to be, the first tingles of his first shift flowing over him. He pants and grunts, bones crackling, skin bubbling, transformation swelling through his body as arousal flickers.\n\nFor the mere act of transformation can be intoxicating in its arousal too and that is something very, very new to Jason...\n\n\nThe Dragon in the Mist \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C82J892S\n\nArthur has studied history at his university for quite some time, a combined course, but his dreams are lustfully and exotically plagued by a dragon. And he doesn't understand why.\n\nGwion... His name is Gwion. And Arthur dreams of him night after night, every time he closes his eyes, leaving his waking reality for a better one, a dreamland where anything is possible and where he can converse with the dragon. For he is more than a figment and a construct of Arthur's imagination, all as he presses on and vows to find Gwion, wherever he is.\n\nThe dragon is trapped, somewhere... Somewhere in the mountains. And only a man who is true of heart, bonded with the drake, will be able to find him again.\n\nFollowing the path of fate and destiny, Arthur seeks Gwion out as the bond between dragon and man deepens and grows beyond anything that either could have ever anticipated...\n\n\nInflated into a Pool Toy: Party Shenanigans\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6X9L2Y\n\nLevi thought the pool party was going to be a bit of fun to hang out at, but nothing really special. Oh, how wrong the gryphon was... For it changed everything for him in kinky, public play.\n\nBut there's this one dragon who keeps swimming past him, water glistening off his scales... Levi can't help but follow him with his eyes, floating in his ring inflatable, but when the dragon approaches him, bigger and more dominant than the gryphon, he just can't say no. He doesn't want to say no.\n\nEven if they're in public, in a quieter area of the luxurious pool...anything is fair game. The dragon takes him, but as load after load floods the gryphon's body, he swells, inflating with lust. All as the drake turns him into a pool toy inflatable with enough mass to float, all so the others at the pool can enjoy him in far more ways than one...\n\nAnd Levi revels in it!\n\n\nHold Your Breath: My Orgasm with the Water Dragon\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM5351WP\n\nIt's not quite usual, to say the least, for my lover to be a water dragon, but he is the greatest gift that the world could ever have given me. Out in the open ocean, knowing that Kenver will protect me, always care for me and keep me safe from harm, there is nowhere else that I feel freer.\n\nWith him, his coils undulating, carrying me on his scaled body, I cannot help but lust for him, saltwater streaming around, fizzing and bubbling with the churning swathe of his body. My hands wander and Kenver responds with a low, churning croon, eyes dancing with draconic glee.\n\n\"You'll have to hold on tight...\"\n\nBut I was more than ready for that as his lust emerges, passion twirling around us as I take a big breath - and we dive underwater.\n\n\nHis Return to the Sea: The Water Dragon Goes Home\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHKGTWQP\n\nSandy came to land, because...well...he thought it would be better. He thought that it was what he needed to do, taking on a human body and form to learn the ways of the world that, sometimes, feels as if it is moving far more quickly than the ocean. As much as there is to the life in the ocean, with its vast reaches and depths, it can feel as if it is set aside from the affairs of the land, as if they are missing out in the water.\n\nThat's why he set out, to see what was on land. He found a job, a good one, working the business grind - all for someone else, of course. But the land did not turn out to be what he wanted it to be, which is why Sandy, after what feels like only a really short time on land, despite the years, turns his sights back to the ocean once more.\n\nThat's where his heart lies. That's where his soul lies. Maybe it's where the other half of him still lies...but he has to go out there to get it.\n\nStepping into the water, Sandy breathes deeply and begins his transformation back to his true form of a water dragon, shucking his human skin. And, if he is fortunate, all his time trying to learn the ways of humans and land creatures will not be in vain, after all...\n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>The Dragon of the Lake<br /><br />Pleasure Between Drakes<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Gawain bounded down the slope, his entire body undulating as the earth-dragon bounced from his forepaws to his hind paws. Really, his manner of motion, when he ran as fast as he could, was more of a hop, using his powerful hindquarters to send his body forward in the expulsion of energy. The cool Autumn breeze licked at his scales, though it came with the cold bite of more wintery weather on it too that morning.<br /><br />The dragon could not have said it was a pleasant morning by the standards of the weather &ndash; or at least what his personal preferences were in that matter. Gawain&rsquo;s favourite weather, as he had divulged to Dafydd before, were to be found on sweet, spring mornings when the dew clung to individual blades of grass, but not for too long. He liked seeing the flowers unfurling their petals as they breathed once more, bringing life back to a land that, duly so, had still required the time to hibernate in the deep, dark throes of winter.<br /><br />Or maybe it was a particular time of year that Gawain preferred, his bronze-tone scales flashing as a strain of weak sunshine endeavoured to break through the grey clouds. A storm was coming &ndash; but not for a few hours yet, he was sure. He&rsquo;d shelter then, deep within the comfortable, warm burrow he&rsquo;d dug out for himself. First, he had to visit Dafydd.<br /><br />His large, earth-churning claws skidded as he sought to bring himself to a rather abrupt stop at the edge of the lake, which had formed many, many years back when a glacier had melted. The scars of the ice passing, flowing even though it should have been a solid form, still marked the stone rising above the far side of the lake. The surface rippled, heralding the Water-dragon within, although it was unusual for Dafydd not to be skulking around, wanting to catch Gawain unawares.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you come out of there,&rdquo; Gawain said, lowering his head so his nose brushed the surface, marking his snout with a spot of moisture, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll bring a sheep for you&hellip; You know the shepherds won&rsquo;t mind very much if I don&rsquo;t take one every month.&rdquo;<br /><br />The Water-dragon&rsquo;s head rose fluidly, his muzzle more streamlined and elegant than Gawain&rsquo;s.

He pants and grunts, bones crackling, skin bubbling, transformation swelling through his body as arousal flickers.<br /><br />For the mere act of transformation can be intoxicating in its arousal too and that is something very, very new to Jason...<br /><br /><br />The Dragon in the Mist <br /><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C82J892S\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C82J892S</a><br /><br />Arthur has studied history at his university for quite some time, a combined course, but his dreams are lustfully and exotically plagued by a dragon. And he doesn&#039;t understand why.<br /><br />Gwion... His name is Gwion. And Arthur dreams of him night after night, every time he closes his eyes, leaving his waking reality for a better one, a dreamland where anything is possible and where he can converse with the dragon. For he is more than a figment and a construct of Arthur&#039;s imagination, all as he presses on and vows to find Gwion, wherever he is.<br /><br />The dragon is trapped, somewhere... Somewhere in the mountains. And only a man who is true of heart, bonded with the drake, will be able to find him again.<br /><br />Following the path of fate and destiny, Arthur seeks Gwion out as the bond between dragon and man deepens and grows beyond anything that either could have ever anticipated...<br /><br /><br />Inflated into a Pool Toy: Party Shenanigans<br /><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6X9L2Y\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6X9L2Y</a><br /><br />Levi thought the pool party was going to be a bit of fun to hang out at, but nothing really special. Oh, how wrong the gryphon was... For it changed everything for him in kinky, public play.<br /><br />But there&#039;s this one dragon who keeps swimming past him, water glistening off his scales... Levi can&#039;t help but follow him with his eyes, floating in his ring inflatable, but when the dragon approaches him, bigger and more dominant than the gryphon, he just can&#039;t say no. He doesn&#039;t want to say no.<br /><br />Even if they&#039;re in public, in a quieter area of the luxurious pool...anything is fair game. The dragon takes him, but as load after load floods the gryphon&#039;s body, he swells, inflating with lust. All as the drake turns him into a pool toy inflatable with enough mass to float, all so the others at the pool can enjoy him in far more ways than one...<br /><br />And Levi revels in it!<br /><br /><br />Hold Your Breath: My Orgasm with the Water Dragon<br /><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM5351WP\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM5351WP</a><br /><br />It&#039;s not quite usual, to say the least, for my lover to be a water dragon, but he is the greatest gift that the world could ever have given me. Out in the open ocean, knowing that Kenver will protect me, always care for me and keep me safe from harm, there is nowhere else that I feel freer.<br /><br />With him, his coils undulating, carrying me on his scaled body, I cannot help but lust for him, saltwater streaming around, fizzing and bubbling with the churning swathe of his body. My hands wander and Kenver responds with a low, churning croon, eyes dancing with draconic glee.<br /><br />&quot;You&#039;ll have to hold on tight...&quot;<br /><br />But I was more than ready for that as his lust emerges, passion twirling around us as I take a big breath - and we dive underwater.<br /><br /><br />His Return to the Sea: The Water Dragon Goes Home<br /><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHKGTWQP\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHKGTWQP</a><br /><br />Sandy came to land, because...well...he thought it would be better. He thought that it was what he needed to do, taking on a human body and form to learn the ways of the world that, sometimes, feels as if it is moving far more quickly than the ocean. As much as there is to the life in the ocean, with its vast reaches and depths, it can feel as if it is set aside from the affairs of the land, as if they are missing out in the water.<br /><br />That&#039;s why he set out, to see what was on land. He found a job, a good one, working the business grind - all for someone else, of course. But the land did not turn out to be what he wanted it to be, which is why Sandy, after what feels like only a really short time on land, despite the years, turns his sights back to the ocean once more.<br /><br />That&#039;s where his heart lies. That&#039;s where his soul lies. Maybe it&#039;s where the other half of him still lies...but he has to go out there to get it.<br /><br />Stepping into the water, Sandy breathes deeply and begins his transformation back to his true form of a water dragon, shucking his human skin. And, if he is fortunate, all his time trying to learn the ways of humans and land creatures will not be in vain, after all...<br /></span>",
