Now I'm broken and I'm crumblin'
In the open and it's troublin'
But I see you and it fills me with doubt
- "Different Kind of Beautiful" by Alec Benjamin
This wasn't the edit I planned on making, but Alec Benjamin's new song is has been HAUNTING me with all of the Claudiez vibes.
For @raayllum, obviously.
[“City of Angels”] [“Someone has to leave first”] [“you know what they say about monsters”] [“I Want to Write You a Song”] [“Brothers on a Hotel Bed”]
#the dragon prince#song lyrics#claudiez#claudia x ezran#different kind of beautiful#alec benjamin#claudia#ezran#mind out of order and heart on my sleeve#GAH#i'm so normal about them#and dragons you were so right about the power of using harrai as an aged up claudiez#my edits#otp: you always do#all queued up

@a-certain-elf bold of you to assume i'll do something vanilla like that
@its-leethee bingo!
@avtoservis how could you assume i'll do something vanilla like that?
@raayllum yep and you're the exact one who's responsible for the idea of drawing all that in the firls place

✨What are your favorite rarepairs?✨
I was inspired by this reddit post.
I'll repost mine from there. This list is incomplete. Also, please check out the shipping poll if you haven't already ❤️
In random order:
Claudia/Aaravos - best villain duo, a literal power couple 🔥💜✨🐍
Viren/adult!Rayla - she finally found him but didn't expect to get attached 😳 🌙🦋
Harrow/Soren - a king and the knight meant to protect him 👑⚔️
Viren/Harrow/Sarai - they love each other and raise their kids together 🥺❤️ I prefer an AU where no one dies
Aaravos/adult!Ezran (like, 30+ yo Ezran) - an unstoppable force who falls for a human king and becomes his advisor 👑✨
Soren/Rayla - battle buddies, brothers in arms whose love and comradery know no bounds ⚔️🌙
Ezran/Ellis (both adults) - they love and complete each other 👑🐺
Claudia/adult!Ezran - they've both been through so much and in each other they find healing 👑🐍
Aaravos/adult!Rayla - she admires his intelligence and he admires her tenacity. They both enjoy each other's wit 🌙✨
Aaravos/Ziard - Aaravos' first love and his first loss (in this particular AU) ✨🔥

Fanart for this drabble, by @raayllum featuring aged-up Claudia and Ezran. It was a lot of fun figuring out how to translate prose into a visual medium. I'm very happy I was able to include the line "None of them prepared them for this — for her to be both the princess and the dragon, both death and maiden" in a certain way.

when fic concerning your niche alterous ship gets posted, and you love their dynamic whether it's "romantic" or "friends/platonic & married to other people" kind of way equally, and discover the fic and/or notes & tags have a "people who ship this are nasty" slant to it:
#anyway#dragons rambles#no one even ships them when the characters are that age like.#it's always when they're both in their 20s come on now#me and my 'minimum age gap' ships are holding hands rn#oh zukaang and claudiez. we're in it now

For the ship bingo-- Gremaya and Claudiez?
Gremaya was actually my first TDP ship. There's...a little bit of an "ick" with it, for me, just due to the supervisor/subordinate thing (I can explain it in private if you want me to, it's nothing really that complicated). I still like the ship, though. Claudiez is...Claudia/Ezran, I think? It's okay, I guess. I'm not really into it, but I can see the appeal. Truth be told, though, I find it hard to ship Claudia with anyone.
Gremaya
Claudiez

Keeping in mind the parallels between this whole scene underwater and the dungeon scene in 1x03 (initial transfer of the egg) is like... Claudia will explain what happened to Callum then, and she'll antagonize Callum now, but she never ever attempts to reason or appeal to him. Whether because she knows him well enough to know it won't work, or because she assumes within the brothers' dynamic Ezran actually holds more power, in a way.
Which to be fair, was likewise true then (he was the one holding the egg) and is unknowingly true now (he, not Callum, knows the secret of the prison) at least in a literal sense. But perhaps on an emotional one too, because while Callum may have doubts and reservations, he will ultimately always follow where his brother goes, and Ezran is the one more likely to step and/or break away of the two of them (for now) in a substantial way, i.e. choosing to follow Rayla completely independently of Callum in 1x03, whereas Callum is then choosing to go after/with Ezran
I also think it speaks to Claudia's knowledge that her bond with Callum has been broken since 2x07 and if we're being more honest, the end of 2x03, but her and Ezran's bond persisted all the way through to 3x09 when she was running away from his outstretched hand. While I think what she says here is of course coloured by manipulation and extremity (like many things about Claudia), given her clear belief in her previous statement — "But I'm not evil, it's me. You know me. I'm still the same person, I am" — I think there's decent reason to think she believes herself, and in Ezran by proxy, here, too.
And this from her side does make sense. Ezran saw her choose Soren in 2x07, sought comfort in her arms after learning about his father, told her he knew she still cared in 2x09, set her free in 3x02, and as stated, was still trying to get through to her in 3x09. I think this is also why later on in this scene when she gets closer to the boys, she only touches Callum's staff with her tentacles, but she puts her actual hands on Ezran's shoulders.
She thinks Ezran is still more likely to understand and be sympathetic to her (as well as contributing, possibly, to the fact Ez is going to have harder time about Runaan because of their father than Callum will) in addition to believing that Ezran is more ripe to be manipulated by her.
And she's not right, at this point (I wouldn't be surprised if 5x09 is Ez's breaking point with her) but she's not totally wrong, either.

the snake: ch4
“So even he wants to die,” says Callum drily.
Soren fights a scowl. They've all been on edge these past few days, but Callum, more than anyone, has been looking for reasons to be hostile. This morning's council meeting is as cold as the winter chill and Soren’s mind is stuck, caught on the sound of iron bars clanging and his father begging for death. In theory, this should be easier now: Viren wants to die, so why not simply let him? And yet—
“He is not of sound mind,” says Opeli crisply, as tired of Callum’s ire as everyone else. “We don't let people die because they want to unless there are valid reasons to allow it. That is not how the law here operates.”
“Is being a war criminal not a valid reason?”
part iv of Viren comes home and Soren has to deal with it

Ezran is twenty-two when he kisses her for the first time.
Claudia stumbles back in a panic, lips burning and wide eyed. His office, her books stacked high on the desk they share most days, is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
She touches her mouth. "Why would you do that?"
Ezran meets her stare evenly, although with something defiant about him, too. Like he's not sorry about putting this, whatever this is, out into the open, like he's daring her to make him feel ashamed for it. "Because I wanted to. Don't you?"
"It—Ezran."
Her eyes sting because the truth is yes, she wants. She has always wanted more than she should in all things, has never been able to let go of anything gracefully, has left claw marks on all that matters in her life. So she'd told herself this one time, at least, after everything Ez has done for her—he's the reason she's alive, he's the reason she's able to be here with her brother even when his had disapproved, he's the one who gave her a place to grow, and—
She wants him. She can't have him.
"I'm too old," she starts because it's true and because she swore a long time ago she'd never lie to him. She's not going to break that promise when she also has to break his heart.
Ezran frowns. "Claudia—"
"And I'm hardly respectable." Just the reformed dark mage and daughter of a dead, disgraced king, with no dowry, no tangible ties to Del Bar, and no prospects. It's a miracle she's not a prisoner. "And the court would talk."
His advisors want him to marry the younger sister of the king of Evenere or Del Bar, to solidify alliances, to ensure peace amongst the Pentarchy. A smart match that can give him heirs. She's just a few years shy of thirty and ravaged by dark magic, and—
She doesn't want to be a reason his judgement is questioned. She doesn't (heart pounding) want to cause a rift between him and his brother. Callum has only just begun to treat her as a friend again. What will he think if he finds out she's courting his baby brother?
"I don't care what they or Callum say," Ezran replies staunchly, and yes, there's the defiance. "I love you."
"No, Ezran—Ez." She dares to take him by the shoulders, marvelling not for the first time that she has to look up to meet him in the eye. "You're young," she reiterates. "And it will pass."
She is not going to ruin his life again—and certainly not let him ruin his life over an infatuation mistaken for love.
Because it is one thing to be his friend after she was his enemy for so long, and his high mage for half the year when his brother is gone. It is one thing to dance with him at Ellis and Aanya's wedding last summer, and to admire the way the light catches the gold beads in his hair, and hum to herself after they've gone for a castle garden stroll together, and try to make him laugh during droll council meetings, but she can't—they can't—
She leaves before she can do any more damage, before he can grasp her wrist and convince her.
The next day, after a terse breakfast in which Soren knows what happened because she told him in tears, he corrals them into talking.
Claudia doesn't get up to leave this time, when Ezran sits next to her on Their Bench in the gardens.
"You know," he says, not wearing his crown for once. "You never said you don't love me back."
Claudia can't look at him, focusing on steepling her fingers together instead, skin too pale and nerves still too frayed after so many years of dark magic. "I said I wouldn't lie to you."
Ezran exhales. "Then why on't you let yourself be with me?"
"Because I don't have a good track record with love." She and Terry still write to each other sometimes, and he'd help keep her sane those first few months back on this side, but... They'd been too much, and she'd been too prejudiced when they met, to ever have something work. She swallows. "And even worse track record with you."
Ezran reaches up and tucks a strand of dyed black hair behind her ear, lingering. "Well, you know I like to bet on long shots, at the horse races in Duren."
"You're young," she reiterates.
"My mother and father were six years apart, too—"
"And whole, and bright, and full of life, despite everything that's happened to you." She folds in on herself. "In spite of everything I've done. I mean it; you'll grow, and it'll pass."
That's how it worked for Callum, and for Terry.
"I just don't understand," he says. "Why not even try, at having the thing that you want?"
"Because the last time I chased what I wanted, the world ended." And it'd felt like it ended again, when he'd kissed her. Like it would end again because she never knew when to stop, she hadn't thought she was being selfish before, either, and... "It'll pass," she promises.
Not for her, but for him. It has to.
(It doesn't.
He's twenty-three when she kisses him back.)
