Spoiler Alert – This post will discuss the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and might have some (mild) spoilers. You might wish to skip this post if you haven’t yet watched this movie.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have been catching up on movies we’ve missed and one of the movies I most wanted to watch was Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
I had heard great things about this fantasy movie. Plus Chris Pine, according to rumor, writes romance (under a secret pen name).
Dungeons & Dragons did NOT disappoint. It was fun and light and has a happy ending (and dragons) And it made me cry. I was THAT emotionally involved.
It is also a great movie for writers who want to craft found family stories to study. (This isn’t much of a spoiler as the ‘Honor Among Thieves’ bit in the movie’s title tells us it is a found family story.)
The main characters are outcasts. Some of them are looking to reunite with biological family so there’s a solid exploration of biological vs found family. The group bonds more and more until they become a solid found family unit. At the end, most of them are together and the one member who isn’t physically with them is talked about so they are emotionally present. And we know they will meet up with this absent being in the future.
It meets all the major expectations for a found family story and it does this in a creative, fun way.

Strive For Forever
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
