Okay, so have you ever read any of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files? Because if you have, you know just how awesome necromancy X paleontology can be. 

(“They say he stole the only known specimen of an Andrewsarchus skull.”

“Did he? Why? To sell it?”

“First, yes, third, no, second…he had some ideas about how to find out what it looked like when it was alive.”

“But Sandy, what did he think he could do that others couldn’t?”

Sandy just smiles at Jack. “Not think, kid. Knew.” He laughs. “But you wouldn’t believe me if I told you now. If we’re lucky, you’ll never see anything that’ll make you believe what I could tell you.”

A roar sounds in the distance. Faint, but not faint enough.

“But I’ve never been that lucky,” Sandy says.)

okAY SO I ACTUALLY DREW DUMB BIRD HUSBANDS

no I started thinking about Pitch being the worst Tooth Fairy and made myself sad b/c not only would he suck at collecting teeth he’s probably not vary pretty by Sister of Flight standards. Like on average they’re probably all really gorgeous and tiny with colorful plumage and gosh what if Pitch is just like the ugly ducking of the group and he never turned into a swan. He’s all dark and tall and doesn’t really have a crest to speak of and any color is minimal and monotone or hidden on the inside of his tailfeathers where no one can see.

And Sandy on the other hand might as well have HOT STUD tattoo’d across his chest for all his bright colors and wingspan and just

I have a lot of feelings about birdy boyfriends okay gomen 

Yes, the others would gossip about Pitch, but who could blame them? He was the fairy who always seemed to collect the teeth riddled with cavities afflicted from one too many indulgences of sweets or neglecting to brush. He was the fairy with the darkest wings, the ungentle touch, and the cumbersome body. He was the fairy who was nothing like what a fairy should be. They could tease as much as they wanted, but as long as Sandy found Pitch’s wings beautiful why should he care?

“Your tailfeathers aren’t really pure black at all, are they?“ Sandy would ask, gazing adoringly at Pitch’s plumage.

“See this one, the darkest blue of a wild sea…and this one of purple nights on the prairie…greens of jade and emerald and living trees…this feather, gray of twilight…midnight shadows…” he’d wax poetic at each one his face lighting up in childlike delight.

Then Pitch would kiss him, if only to stop those words from entirely capturing his heart.

It was a futile effort.
