Why This Must Be Read: I just finished reading this (thanks topaian's recommendation on her journal, thank you!) and it is one of those stories that literally made me curse out loud and stand up to pace for a bit. "Ashes to Ashes" is based loosely in the 'verse of the movie "Reign of Fire" and takes place after the dragons turn everything to cinders; it was written for apocalypse_kree, so that should immediately tell you that it's dark, but it's not completely and totally without hope. It's funny in a few places, very poignant in others and definitely makes your heart drop right to your feet as well. As always, kellifer_fic's characterizations and story telling are amazing, so go read this and don't miss out on it just because it's dark.

Celeste, one of the older children at fourteen, holds a pad of paper out. “I can’t get the wings right,” she says, nibbling on her lower lip. Sam looks at the lines etched in charcoal, both graceful and terrible and pauses for a second to digest the fact that this small girl is drawing dragons from memory rather than fantasy.
“Looks good to me,” Sam says, taking another forkful of MRE lasagne into her mouth. Raided supplies from underground bunkers are what they have been subsisting on lately. She’s not sure how others—those who don’t know where to look--are surviving.
