    Summary

    There can be no good reason for an unregistered boat to be smuggling a dragon egg in a freezer across the Channel. Not that Captain William Laurence need concern himself with such a mystery; that's for the police to handle. His job is only to see the the egg safely to shore, after which the incident will have no particular impact on his life at all.

    Summary

    Temeraire is dead.

    Temeraire is dead, and Laurence’s reason for living along with him. He stumbles on, day by day, conscious of the concern of his friends and family, yet unable to care.

    Until an unexpected letter leads Laurence to something even more unexpected still: a child.

    What a Chinese orphan is doing on the streets of Edinburgh is anyone’s guess, including the orphan's. Tharkay, for his part, suspects foul play. Laurence can see all that is sensible in the man’s suspicions, yet once again he cannot bring himself to care. Not when the child reminds him so very strongly of that which he’s lost.

    Summary

    A collection of one-shots all centered by different flavours of gender bending within the Temeraire universe (multiverse?). Sweet Polly-Olivers, gender swaps, trans characters, other general fuckery.... and in the middle of it, a cast of 1800s idiots just trying to get a handle on it all.

    Summary

    In East Asia, omegas are generally placed on pedestal for their superior beauty and wisdom, with the more brash and reckless alphas expected to act as their body-guards and protectors.

    In Europe, the stronger, fiercer, and more intelligent alphas are expected to keep their meek and emotional omegas on a tight leash.

    This means the prospect of safely guiding Captain William Laurence, his dragon, and his crew safely from East to West is one that will require a very careful balancing act. Especially since Tharkay is apparently the only man in their party who even knows Laurence is an omega.

    Summary

    A mysterious ghost ship floating in the dark void of space. Incomprehensible voices echoing down the halls. Fluctuations in temperature. A sense that someone, out of sight, is watching you. Crew members growing paranoid and more violent than stress accounts for—others, compulsively drawing shapes that cannot exist. A dogmatic captain who insists nothing is wrong.

    We all know how that story ends.

    ...Right?
