    Summary

    Kitti Ping Yung did much for Pern, including engineering dragons from the small native fauna of the planet. But one change that she tried to impart into the novel species failed to stick. When centuries of culturally encouraged cruelty leads to what seems to be the end of dragon-kind, Kitti Ping's failure may well become Pern's salvation.

    Note regarding rape/non-con: There are no graphic sex scenes in this fic, hence the "Mature" instead of "Explicit" rating. Pern has some pretty messed up standards, and I feel it is my responsibility to call it what it is. What many Gold and Greenriders experience in the books when their dragons mate is not sex: it's rape.
