    Summary

    Napoleon has been freshly defeated, and Tharkay cannot help but feel glad. It brings up a strange humour in him; he, who has always thrived in the chaos, who has never stayed in one place, who has never let himself feel the full heavy ache of his heart; he, now glad to have the war done with, and glad to renew the fight for the estate he is owed.

    Looking across the covert grounds to Temeraire and the small figure leaning against his forepaw, Tharkay cannot even lie to himself about why.

    "He cuts a fine figure in that coat of his," Granby says. Tharkay, who has always hated to be known, cannot help his flinch.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Vimes feels like an armoured moon in orbit around a number of extremely specific planets.

    ‘Is it normal at my time of life to start thinking, I don’t know, odd thoughts? Out of character stuff? Strange daydreams and things?’

    ‘You mean like a mid-life crisis?’

    Vimes isn’t sure he does. He knows about those. A man reaches a peak in life and wonders why there’s so much space at the top, then he starts driving a faster cart and runs off to Quirm with a secretary called Cloris.

    (This fic needed to go back to the drawing board to have the broken bit set, but now thirsty Vimes has re-entered the building and is in reception)
