With nothing to help him hold himself together, when he steps out of the tent, he only has one goal in mind: [[DrivenToSuicide Suicide]].

9	The original author's wife allowed another writer: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/9879605/viningc viningc]] to finish book 3. [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13263598/1/Beneath-Sovereign-Skies-Chapter-19 Beneath Sovereign skies Chapter 19]] feels like the final chapter of book 3, but the brickwork and paint don't quite match the original. Their next offering, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14051048/1/The-Dragons-Return The Dragons Return]] is a massive case of YMMV and possibly FanonDiscontinuity.

11	----
12	!!''The Queen Who Fell To Earth'' provides examples of:
13	* AChildShallLeadThem: for the length of the first two parts, Harry is an underage wizard that, to his surprise, has become the leader of a nation that encompasses tens of thousands of dragons and an increasing number of [[DragonRider Dragon Riders]].
14	* AlternateUniverseFic: With the major point of divergence being the first task during the Tri Wizard Tourney.
15	* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Multiple times, a weyr is mentioned as being located in Washington State, near Mount Hood. Mt. Hood is 50 miles (by dragonflight) inside Oregon.
16	* AssholeVictim: Multiple deserving victims. Standout examples:
17	** [[spoiler: [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing Umbridge who is unceremoniously dumped]] ''[[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing Between]]''.]]
18	** [[spoiler:The Chinese agent that was planning to attack Campbeltown Weyr breaks his neck when the ship he is riding is dropped from a height of fifty feet.]]
19	* TheAtoner: Dumbledore, after realizing the pain his decisions have caused on Harry, strives to be able to atone for them in the short time he has before he dies. [[spoiler:He manages to do it, and dies in peace in Campbeltown Weyr.]]
20	* BlackShirt: The Wizarding Defense Force. It is speculated that the black shirted uniform was only found fashionable by the designer, Dolores Umbridge.
21	* BondCreatures: The Dragons.
22	* BotheringByTheBook[=/=]ObstructiveBureaucrat: when the dragons arrive to New York to attend a meeting of the United Nations, a US Department of Immigration officer / mook tries to arrest the non-American riders because they did not pass by a customs inspection point.
23	* BullyingADragon: Given the story, it happens. For example, [[spoiler:the United States Government foolishly tries to conscript all the American riders in an attempt to take advantage of the dragons for their [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror anti-terrorist efforts]], Bolivia attempts to "nationalize" the dragons within their borders and, most important of all, the OPEC countries and Russia, who seek the destruction or subjugation of dragonkind for the threat they represent to their oil-based economies.]]
24	* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Carlos the Gerbil, in the name of the Spanish Ministry of Magic, makes a deal with Russian agents (and, it is implied, Saudi people) to work together and fight the dragons and their influence.]]
25	** [[spoiler:Charlie Weasley, who had decided to leave for a hippogriff farm in South America since he was unable to accept that Dragons were intelligent, has returned to England and admitted his mistakes, which he realized after a dragon saved him from a hippogriff attack.]]
26	* TheCameo: many, many appearances by RealLife people - John Major features as one of Dragonkind's first allies, and Creator/DavidAttenborough develops the first documentary about dragons.
27	* TheChainsOfCommanding: many times, characters will make a reference to Harry taking on too much effort on his shoulders. One of the main issues Harry has to face is learning to delegate.
28	* CliffHanger: Due to the author's death, the story will be stuck with Dragonkind on the edge of war against Russia and its allies.
29	* CommanderContrarian: Gordon Chapman, a MilitaryBrat who periodically messes up, or makes stupid comments about how he would lead the Weyr if it were up to him. Harry has to constantly deal with his screw-ups. [[spoiler:He ends up trying to kill Harry, which causes Kirteth (Chapman's dragon) to [[DrivenToSuicide jump Between]].]]
30	* CrapsackWorld: Harry has to look out for people trying to exploit (or kill) his dragons both in the Wizarding World and in the muggle world.
31	* DeadFic: Due to the author's death, the story was left in a {{Cliffhanger}} where Dragonkind was on the edge of a war with Russia and their OPEC allies.
32	* DespairEventHorizon: Harry, after being ostracized by his classmates after his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, is [[DrivenToSuicide ready to commit suicide]] but he gets better after he Impresses.
33	** It gets mentioned that, whenever a dragon or a rider dies, the other member of the dragon-rider partnership will pass this, and will soon try to follow. This is actually one thing Harry is willing to use to keep the dragon riders from doing things that are too risky.
34	** [[spoiler:When Gordon Chapman tries to murder Harry while heavily inebriated, his dragon Kirteth jumps Between in shame. This has the consequence of driving Chapman completely crazy.]]
35	* DragonRider: Of course.
36	* TheDreaded: [[TomTheDarkLord Carlos the Gerbil]] is a dreaded magical terrorist that comes to Britain in order to attempt to upset the magical society born out of Harry's Impressing. Jin Tan Mu is also quite dreaded in China because of his fanatical zeal in destroying any magical community he finds.
37	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Voldemort's ultimate fate is to become a muggle curiosity and science experiment.]]
38	** [[spoiler:Percy Weasley, who decided to spy on a group of magical terrorists, was given a Draught of Living Death and then awakened, which meant he was awake but unable to interact with anyone. He was found before he went mad, fortunately.]]
39	** All Riders consider the idea of living beyond their dragon's death (and viceversa) a horrifying thing.
40	* {{Foreshadowing}}: many snippets, written in-story by Remus Lupin, state that there are many conflicts to come in the future, such as a [[spoiler:war with the OPEC members]]. Sadly, as the author DiedDuringProduction.
41	* FluffyTheTerrible: All of the dragons, and their tendency to have rather harmless-sounding names.
42	* TheFundamentalist: several of them take to protest against the dragons, since they are convinced that the dragons are soulless demons, even when dragons try to speak to them.
43	* GambitPileup: despite being about a squadron of [[DragonRider Dragon Riders]], it's very much a political thriller where everyone has their own agenda.
44	* HeroicBSOD: Hermione in the first chapters, when she realizes her attempting to not take sides between Harry and Ron led to the former's DespairEventHorizon.
45	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Harry worries about this given the lengths he has to go to in order to protect Dragonkind.
46	* HumbleHero: Harry, even more than in the books, and his position as Weyrleader means that he gets uncomfortable any time he is extended courtesies as what amounts to be the Head of State of Dragonkind.
47	* InSeriesNickname: Dragons hand these out like candy. Every non rider they routinely interact with gets a nickname.
48	** Remus Lupin becomes Wolf.
49	** Sirius Black becomes Smelly Dog.
50	** Minerva [=McGonagall=] becomes Professor Tabbycat.
51	** Creator/DavidAttenborough becomes Naturesmith.
52	* LaserGuidedKarma: The wizarding worlds racism and classism finally bites them in the ass, as they're outnumbered by a comical degree by both non-human races and muggles, and economically reliant on the former and not nearly as superior over the latter as they believe. Exasperating the issue is that they've driven off most of the muggle born wizards back to the muggle world, meaning that they only have purebloods and the occasional half blood to draw on for manpower.
53	* MakeRoomForTheNewPlot: [[spoiler:How the conflict with Voldemort is resolved.]]
54	* MilitaryBrat: several of the first Riders are this, as the British Army is supporting the venture and hope to have some control over the situation. However, Harry points out that, as soon as they Impress, their loyalty will completely change.
55	* MuggingTheMonster: Anybody that tries to fight the dragons while underestimating their abilities. When the Saudis decide to attack the Kenyan dragons, [[spoiler:the riders, upon obtaining solid proof of this attack, proceed to wreck Saudi Arabia's main military airport and fly over (without harming anyone) their cities, pointing out that they could have destroyed the entire country if they had wanted to.]]
56	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: most Hogwarts students, when they realized everything they put Harry through led to him [[DrivenToSuicide trying to commit suicide by dragon]]. Particularly Hermione, who blames herself most, as she decided to not take sides in the fight between Harry and Ron at a time where Harry would have needed her help.
57	** She doesn't appear to learn from this, though, as she gets stroppy with Harry in the sequel [[spoiler:about whether or not a rider can control themselves when their dragon rises to mate for the first time (answer: they can't)]]. She breaks off their relationship [[spoiler:when he has sex with Susan Bones after she stepped in when Hermione did not]] and regards him as [[spoiler:a sex-mad "typical" male]] until it happens to ''her'' and she realises that she was wrong. She is then devastated, thinking that she's ruined their friendship and any chance of anything more. She is lucky that Harry is willing to forgive her mistake.
58	* NGOSuperpower: Dragonkind begin to become this early, as they manage to gain autonomy from the various governments, although future snippets state the Weyrs will actually become an independent nation.
59	* TheNicknamer: Dragons generally only use a person's given name when they are a dragon rider. Everybody else gets a title they are accustomed to, (Lord / Lady Holder for royalty and presidents, etc) or something descriptive. (Sirius Black becomes Smelly Dog, Creator/DavidAttenborough becomes Naturesmith)
60	* ObfuscatingStupidity: In this fic, Fudge is portrayed as being this, playing the befuddled idiot because it makes people underestimate him and helps him get much money via bribes. [[spoiler:This also helps him take Umbridge and ensure she is unable to become [[TheManBehindTheMan The Woman-Toad Behind The Man]].]]
61	* PimpDuds: (Implied) Late in chapter 17 of the first book Dumbledore decides to wear his gold leisure suit to an impending visit with the prime minister as the purple suit he wore the last time seemed to attract more attention than he wanted.
62	* PersonAsVerb: Saudi Arabia felt their economy threatened by dragons. So they started killing dragons. Harry promptly delivered a bitch slap visible to orbiting satellites with infrared cameras.
63	-->'''Ronon:''' "Is this a precaution or are you really expecting some nation to pull another Saudi?"
64	* PunchClockVillain: several.
65	* RogueAgent: when the Chinese government orders agent Jin Tan Mu to remain at the Athens embassy and stop investigating the Weyr (as they have been dealing with Harry to benefit from dragons' abilities), he decides to go rogue and hire mercenaries to attack Campbeltown Weyr. [[spoiler:He dies when the ship that carries him and the mercenaries he hired is grabbed by dragons and dropped from a great height.]]
66	* ShoutOut: The fic is titled after the 1976 ScienceFiction film ''Film/TheManWhoFellToEarth''.
67	* TearsOfJoy: Mildred, an American astronomer that helps research dragons (specifically, where their planet might be) [[spoiler:and ends up marrying Remus Lupin]], cries when [[spoiler:she manages to travel by dragon to Saturn's orbit]].
68	* TheManBehindTheMan: It is clearly stated that the Russian Minister of Magic controls the Russian Prime Minister, either via his magic or by means of blackmailing.
69	** Dolores Umbridge had intended to become this, but unfortunately for her, Fudge has been ObfuscatingStupidity all this time, and isnt nearly as dumb as he pretends to be.
70	* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Harry, after ordering the dragons to kill several wizards and the Muggle soldiers they had Imperiused who attacked the Lac Logipi Weyr. The other Riders soon disabuse him of it, telling him in rather sharp tones that the ones to blame are the wizards who attacked the dragons.
71	* ToiletHumor: This, and slapstick, form the core of dragon humor.
72	* TomTheDarkLord: apart from the TropeNamer [[spoiler:who gets offed soon into the story anyway]], there is magical terrorist Carlos the Gerbil, who picked his name in an attempt to draw a parallel with Carlos the Jackal, without knowing what a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerbil gerbil]] actually is.
73	* TooDumbToLive: people who underestimate just how ''dangerous'' dragons can be if they, or their Riders, are ticked off. [[spoiler:Particularly Bush's Secretary of Homeland Security, who suggested the forced recruitment of all American Riders into the army to take advantage of the dragons, even after a treaty was signed with Dragonkind to accept their neutrality.]]
74	* TookALevelInBadass: Harry. All other Dragon Riders.
75	** Neville Longbottom, who manages to to use a plant-sculpting charm to trap a terrorist.
76	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Many people underestimate Harry, the riders and their dragons. Those who do either learn fast or regret it.
77	* UpliftedAnimal: Dragons aren't just animals — they are sentient. Since much of the Wizarding World's economy is based on dragon products, they initially refuse to acknowledge this.
78	* [[YouNeedToGetLaid You Need To Mate]]: Harry is told this repeatedly by Chekiath, his dragon, and several other dragons in the first story.
