I Wrote a Short Story, and I Liked it

[kriadydragon]

The problem with me and short stories is that it's difficult for me to come up with a short story without it wanting to turn into something long and involved. Or without it becoming some sort of id fic that pushes all my buttons but otherwise is barely a story at all.

So I would adore some prompts for an original short story. A trope or idea you'd like to see written (for example, dragon and knight setting aside their differences because it's tea time... or something). As usual with me and prompts, I can't promise that they'll be written, or that the prompt idea won't morph inside my head into something entirely different. But I do love prompts, and would really like some more short-story ideas to write.

So prompt me :D Fantasy and sci-fi ideas especially. I also like steampunk.

You should do a story about a dragon observing humans as though it were the narrator of a nature documentary. Imagine, the dragon has captured a princess for study, not to eat her or for plunder. It is confused and trying to figure out what exactly the humans are. Of course, its intentions are grossly misunderstood. Perhaps the dragon would get out of the problem through more civilized means than flaming and violence.
