Word count: ~1k words

September [OTP23]

Title: The Visitors
Fandom: Temeraire
Characters/Ship: Laurence/Tharkay, Laurence & Temeraire & Tharkay
Word count: ~1k words
Summary: Modern with dragons AU. In most cases, meeting the human family members is probably less terrifying than meeting the dragon ones. This is not most cases.

Notes: In retrospect, it's not that I fell off the bandwagon that's surprising, it's that it took me until September to crash and burn. But, hey, the year's not over yet! Here's September, and I have another short, silly offering for October drafted and nearly ready to post, so just two more fics to go, and four weeks left in the year! The prompts for September: high school/college sweethearts | hurt/comfort | meeting the family | "i wrote this for you" | flood | shifter AU.

February [OTP3]

Title: Life Is the Bubbles
Fandom: Temeraire
Characters/Ship: Laurence/Tharkay, Laurence & Temeraire & Tharkay & Jane Roland
Word count: ~800 words
Summary: Modern-day AU with dragons, very cracky. Laurence has a habit of making the impossible a reality, which is probably why he's the one who discovers that merfolk are apparently real.

Notes: It looks like I forgot to post this here, and in the wake of the long day of DDoS attacks, I thought I should make sure my Dreamwidth xposting is up-to-date. The prompts were: valentine’s day | pollen/fear gas/truth serum | established relationship | “if i kiss you, will you shut up?” | different | mermaid au. I totally used some of them.

June [OTP23]

Title: With All My Worldly Goods
Fandom: Temeraire
Characters/Ship: Laurence/Tharkay, Laurence & Temeraire & Tharkay
Word count: ~5k words
Summary: Soulmarks are names scrawled on wrists, Britain is not at war with France, and Laurence still doesn't visit home often enough. Fortunately, it turns out that his soulmate is fully prepared to travel with him.

Notes: The prompts were: Wedding/proposal, "you aren't what i expected", downpour, soulmate AU, sick fic, (accidental) love confession. I'm arguing that I hit all but the last two.

Relative to canon, things and characters are cheerier in this canon-aligned soulmate AU, where (1) the religious significance of soulmarks means that same-sex marriage is legal, (2) Britain is not at war, and (3) Tharkay's parents are inexplicably both alive and well. For the sake of simplicity, I am pretending that "Tharkay" is our friend's patronym, or that for some unknown reason, his 18th-19th cen. British father took his mother's family name as his own rather than vice versa. However it's spun, I am calling the whole family the Tharkays, and I'm designating their home base in Scotland.

Characters/Ship: Laurence & Temeraire & Tharkay, background Laurence/Tharkay

Summary: Newly hatched dragons mature much more slowly than they do in canon, and William Laurence, formerly of the navy, finds himself largely unsupported when he becomes the companion, teacher, and caretaker to an infant dragon. Enter Tharkay, who takes in a literal bird's eye view of the situation.

Notes: Did not realise that I never posted this here. Oops. This is a vaguely magical canon AU of Temeraire in which baby dragons age much more slowly than they do in canon.

Quiet Night Thought: Chapter 1 [SVSSS]

Title: Quiet Night Thought
Fandom: Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Pairing/Characters: Shen Jiu & Shen Yuan, Shen Jiu & everyone, Shen Yuan & Shang Qinghua, Shen Jiu & Yue Qingyuan
Rating: NR (probably T?)
Warnings:
Word Count: 2,536, Ch. 1 / 5; See All Chapters
Summary: Shen Yuan unwittingly gives character-growth advice to the Qing Jing head disciple Shen Jiu in a weak plot device of a shared dream. Of course, advice that's good from a plot perspective isn't always advice that's good for the individual, especially when that individual is a real person with real emotions and real trauma.
