Temeraire fic rec list
Aug. 25th, 2023 07:01 pmI was chatting about the Temeraire books with some folks and promised to provide some fic recs, of gen about dragons and aviators, and of shipfic about Laurence/Tharkay. So here we go! I wanted to get this out with relative promptness so I didn't take the time to write out exactly what I particularly love about each of these fics, as that requires both a reread and a percolation of thoughts for every fic on the list, so please take it on assumption that each of these fics is excellent and thoroughly worth reading.
