Summary
After the war is over, William Laurence and Temeraire go to live on the estate of Tenzing Tharkay. It is a brave new world.
30 days' worth of prompts -- ranging from drabbles to over-long fics in their own right -- all (mostly) in the same post-canon story I am projecting for them. Narrative is non-linear but canon-compliant, so spoilers for all 9 Temeraire novels.
(Ratings differ for each chapter so check the index in Chapter 1/Index. Any chapter-specific CWs/TWs will be listed in the chapter notes.)

"I am pleasantly located in the deep sea, but love will row you out if her hands are strong, and don't wait till I land, for I'm going ashore on the other side." (Emily Dickinson, letter to Kate Anthon, late 1859?)

Summary
“Okay,” said Emily, fully trying not to pinch her nose. “Okay, so you’re going to right click. No, not left, right. Yeah, on the little pencil icon. There you go. Now you just type into the box.”
“Type what?” asked Laurence.
“I don’t know. Whatever’s on your mind.”
“Currently, what is occupying me is how pointless this endeavor appears to be."
“Come on, you can think about something better than that. The story of how you found Temeraire! Weird old boat facts! What you had for dinner last night! Literally anything.”
Shoulders hunched, the man began to type slowly, ever so slowly, as if hunting for each individual key on the keyboard. From this Laurence began to write out something about the ocean currents of the South Atlantic. Despite his slow speed, it was astonishing how quickly he ran out of characters. “What does the red exclamation mark signify?”
Emily had told this man what the red exclamation mark signified. So. Many. Times. She thought he’d finally understood it eight months ago. “Are you getting worse at this?” she said. “How could you be getting worse at this?”
“Roland,” Laurence said, sounding immensely tired, “I am afraid you would not believe me even if I told you.”

Summary
In the years since the invasion of Britain, dragons have taken great strides— or wingbeats, rather— in the establishment of their rights, and Perscitia is at the forefront of the movement. She is a member of parliament with her own accomplished staff, a network which spans Europe, and an insatiable appetite for her next political battle.
But when her ongoing initiative to secure rights for dragon and human veterans both brings her into contact with someone from her old life, Perscitia finds herself unbalanced in a way she never expected to be again.

Summary
General Wellington selects Colonel Fitzwilliam for a very singular honor during the Spanish Campaign: working with dragons-- and, in particular, with Captain Elizabeth Bennet, of His Majesty's Dragon, the Longwing Wollstonecraft.
Temeraire/ Pride and Prejudice crossover entirely to have Elizabeth Bennet as a dragon captain during the Peninsular War, with Charlotte Lucas as her uber-capable first lieutenant. (I’ve also been assured by readers that you don’t have to know Temeraire to follow this fic.)

Summary
Laurence desires nothing more than to retire to Tharkay's estate and help Temeraire get to Parliament, for what more could he want than a place in Britain with space enough for a dragon, and the company of a dear friend? But wars rarely end so neatly. Bellicose lords, Bourbon princes, errant heirs and shadowy forces threaten to undermine the very peace that Laurence and Temeraire fought to obtain, and ruin the happiness that Laurence was just beginning to glimpse.

Summary
Laurence could feel the familiar sweat of awkward social interactions breaking out on his forehead and hands. But it was not even his fault; how was he supposed to know this bloke's last name when Temeraire introduced him differently! Now that Tenzing - Mr. Tharkay, damn it! - was standing next to Temeraire Laurence could feel his hawk-like eyes boring into him. He didn’t like the feeling. Not in the slightest. It felt like Mr. Tharkay knew Laurence had just called him by the wrong name again in his mind.

Summary
"They had survived winter in Russia; surely they could survive a chilly spring in England."
The year 1816 has been called the year without a summer; throughout the Northern Hemisphere, unseasonable cold and rain led to massive crop failures and widespread hunger. On Tenzing Tharkay's estate in the Peaks district, Laurence and Temeraire worry about the well-being of their tenants; and, once elected to Parliament, Temeraire struggles to find a way to feed an entire nation of starving humans and dragons.
Tags include characters who won't appear until later chapters. Relationship tags (e.g. platonic vs. romantic) might change/be added as I write.

Summary

Summary
The London season of 1814 finds itself descended upon by a veritable horde of dragons--and their eligible captains. Shameless Regency trash.
