Howdy! This is a weird story to start on but I'll have you know it's neither fluff or angst. It's somewhere in between.
I actually don't know if the enderdragon has a name, I did some searching and found Glydia. I don't think it's the actual name but let's say it is.
That... it I guess? Enjoy reading buds!

The resource gathering was killing Doc. Especially after he started using diamonds in his farms. Diamond ores. But one thing made it better.
While tamming the ender dragon sounds horrific and pretty crazy. Doc had done it. He knew he wasn't the first, and probably won't be the last. But maybe, just maybe, he was the first to ride one.
The mystery void took well to the company. It didn't seem to have much in the End. But when the dragon took him under her wings. Or rather between her wings for the first time. It would be lying to say Doc wasn't amazed.
And ever since that day he'd been taking the dragon out for regular flights. Mainly when it was time to gather up stuff. Doc would let her do her thing before steering her to go get what he needed. Today was... a little different however...
Doc was planning on heading out with her. But Glydia seemed way more springy that day.
As quick as Doc unleashed her from the flag post she shot him up in the air. The creeper landed on her neck, before she plummeted down. Doc panicked for a moment before regaining his stability, holding onto the metal piece around her neck. He did make it so he could have ropes in them, so he was lucky he had something to hold onto.
Glydia fell down almost as far as to the bottom of the perimeter before spreading her wings. In a few quick flaps she was up in the air. Doc held on real tight, knowing exactly her normal flight session.
She spun like crazy, letting gravity take over once they were upside down mid air. Doc's thighs were definitely getting a work out as he gripped the dragon's neck. She twisted her body around as she soared through the clouds. A sudden shadow appeared in his peripheral vision.
It said something. But Glydia had already sent forward to the ground as Doc tagged along. She was feisty today, Doc thought as he chuckled at his own joke.

"Hello Scar and Grian!!" Bdubs yelled. Him and Etho were on their way to Scarland to check out the castle Scar had been working on. Grain was already there, seeing as they were neighbours.
But something had caught Ethos's eye as he flew. Bdubs watched him turn in horror as Bdubs looked the direction he was glaring at.
Bdubs didn't see much, but Etho was already off. And so was Doc's dragon. That's what Bdubs saw.
"Jesus Christ!" The mossy man said as he landed, crashing as Grian laughed at him. Scar was nice enough to help him up.
"Scar is Doc's dragon always loose?!" Bdubs yelled. Scar turned his head as he looked over to the perimeter. They could see the speck of Etho and the ginormous dragon... not flying around its usual post.
"W-What!? No?!" Scar yelled. The three just looked at each other for a few seconds. Contemplating.
The dirty blonde shot into the sky with his parrot wings. Scar quickly grabbed his elytra as Bdubs also flew off. Sending more rockets than necessary.
Etho was stood on top of the flagpole. His eyes fixated on the permit at as the other three landed by him. They were just about to say something when the dragon flew up in front of them. A big gust of wind almost shooting Scar of the giant flag pole.
"God, is Doc even here?" Grian questioned. Etho turned to them as he noticed the three.
"Doc is on that dragon!" Etho yelled. Bdubs eyes widened more than they should have as Scar just looked confused.
"Wait? What?"
"The dragon freaking stole him, or he's laying dead down in the perimeter I saw it blast him" Etho said, panic laced in his voice. Grain took off after the dragon, not nearly as fast as he wanted to, but he didn't go much faster.
—
It was an unimaginable feeling. To just sit on Glydia and feel the wind pass by. Clouds sweeping through her wings like a knife on butter. He seemed to have gotten his control back. Glydia was finished with her weekly flight. Doc chuckled as she turned her head.
But the dragon's eyes were sat on something behind her. A smaller man. A parrot. Trying to follow her. She flicked her tail and huffed as the tiny bird dodged and weaved. Doc caught notice of this, turning to see the pesky bird himself.
"Doc?! what are you doing?!"
"Meet me at the ground" Doc sighed. He led the dragon down as she slowly and surely reached below the clouds. Unluckily for them it was an ocean. They'd have to continue flying to be able to talk.
Glydia didn't like the parrot. She kept a close eye on him as she swept her wings up and down, pushing large waves into the water below. Grian himself, looked mortified to be so close to the dragon, that rarely happened in battle.
"D-Doc? You fly this thing?"
"It's not a thing, Grian, and yes I'm not torturing a dragon? That would end in disaster wouldn't it?" That statement was very true. The flying, not so much. It was still a learning matter but it worked for the most part.
"D-Doc can we get back to the perimeter?" Grain asked, shakely. He was taking double the amount of flaps as the void of the dragon.
"Try to keep up" Doc chuckled, patting Glydia as she set to the skys. Grain hurling back in the wind.
Glydia was having fun again. Before realising the pesky bird was coming after them. He was panting as he tried to keep up, but the last straw was when he grabbed her tail. She huffed as she flicked her tail. Sending the bird spinning down towards the ground.
Doc laughed as he watched Grain fall. The perimeter had come into veiw and Grian was falling right for it. Oh. He should probably save him... he's a parrot how can't he stablise himsefl? Oh well here goes nothing.
"Glydia?" The dragon looked back. It was nice to know she knew her name.
"Fetch?" Doc said, patting her as he pointed to the falling hermit. And he was pleasantly surprised when she actually fetched, going after the parrot and catching him about halfway down the nuclear hole. ( not nuclear really but the description works ).
She caught him like he was a toy. Grain huffing and puffing as they landed on the flag pole. The wood of it bending as Glydia set her weight on it. There were a lot of people here. Huh?
"Doc tell your dragon to be respectful!" Grain yelled. Glydia sent out her voidly breath on him as he took some damage.
"Doc you ride dragons now!" Bdubs asked as Doc slid of the beast. He simply nodded as he placed an ender crystal near the dragon, keeping her close.
"Since when—" Scar was cut off by an amazed Etho.
"Since when, this is so cool!" Etho yelled. The other three looked at him in disbelief as he walked up to the dragon. Once a nerd, always a nerd I guess. Or maybe it was a redstoner thing...
Glydia was quick to accept a pet from the white haired. He sounded funny compared to Doc. All of them did. Their voices were just lighter than Doc's. She hadn't really heard anyone else's voice before though so. People were usually scared of her... but this guy wasn't, just like Doc!
She happily let herself get pet like a dog. It was fun. And nice.
"Etho you're insane!" Bdubs shouted. Scar was slightly interested as he took a step forward, also petting the beast. Bdubs regretted his words as he stood there. He also wanted to pet the dragon now... crap.
Grain tried to take a step forward but was simply puffed away by a bit of wind. Doc laughed as Grain glared at him. Doc was proud his dragon learned to dislike Grian. It definitely looked like he did it but he genuinely never said anything about Grian to her.
"Can I pet her?" Bdubs questioned. Doc nodded. The dragon opened her big luminous eyes at the new voice.
Everyone was allowed to pet her that day.
Except Grian...
