FIC: Ship's Gossip (Temeraire)

Jan. 1st, 2020 10:37 pm
spatz: Laurence and Tharkay canoodling (Temeraire Laurence/Tharkay)

My Yuletide story this year for [personal profile] gloriamundi!

Gloria asked for a privateering AU, which I took to mean an AU where Laurence accepts Tharkay's offer in Tongues of Serpents. I then attempted to research privateering in the Napoleonic Wars -- surprisingly difficult, because everything I found was about American privateers in the War of 1812, and that war didn't happen in Temeraire continuity, so perhaps no one is shocked that I got distracted by the question of sodomy on ships that were neither British Navy nor pirates, and this fic happened:

Ship's Gossip (5748 words)
Temeraire
slash, Laurence/Tharkay
no AO3 warnings apply, but some lesser warnings are listed in the endnotes

Laurence is beginning to enjoy life as a privateer - though he cannot figure out why Tharkay should still be sailing out with them - when Temeraire decides to ask him about sodomy.

Happy Yuletide, everyone!

Yuletide reveals! and other fic

Jan. 2nd, 2018 09:07 pm
spatz: sundial with fall leaves (sundial)
I wrote Books of the Raksura fic for Nestra, featuring confused but curious Chime and teenaged Thorn and gender norms.

branching out
Books of the Raksura
gen, Chime & Thorn

“I want to go on the trip to see the Hassi,” Thorn said.

I was gifted a completely darling and hilarious Temeraire fic by brutti_ma_buoni, First Blood, in which Lady Allandale and Jane Roland plan a society event, and Laurence's poor mother is appalled and steely in turns, just like her son.

...also I am horrified/ashamed to realize that I didn't crosspost ANY of my 2017 fic over here? *facepalm* Starting with LAST year's Yuletide fic.

tête-à-tête
Temeraire
gen, post-canon, Tharkay & Lady Allandale

When her son returns from breakfasting in town and tells her that he plans to move to Scotland to stay with his friend Mr. Tharkay, and that Temeraire will be taking one of the new seats in Parliament, Diana says only, “Well, dear, you must bring Mr. Tharkay to tea, then. Tomorrow?”


Another Chance at Bliss
Voltron: Legendary Defender
university AU, PWP, Shiro/Allura

Shiro wasn’t really sure how he’d gotten here, exactly, with a student sitting on his desk with her foot in his lap, but he does know he needs to figure it out in a hurry, or things are going to happen that he can’t ever take back.


one drop at a time
Star Wars
gen, Luke & Rey
(obviously this has been grossly jossed in the meantime)

The first time it rained after Rey came to Ahch-To, the raindrops came down so suddenly and so heavily that she thought something had gone terribly wrong.


Trust Fall
Mad Max: Fury Road
gen, ensemble, long-in-progress and now completed

Seven conversations on the Fury Road.

FIC: balm of hurt minds (Temeraire)

spatz: drawing of birds in flight, silhouetted against an orange-gold sunset (sunset birds)
My first Ten in Ten story! I swear it was completed on the 17th, but is being posted slightly after midnight because titles are hard. (this one is from Macbeth, for the curious) Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] inmyriadbits for the title and reading it over.

balm of hurt minds
Temeraire series
[AO3]
Warnings contain spoilers for Blood of Tyrants: torture

( 'Tenzing,' Laurence said, and Tharkay opened his eyes. )
