"Severus Snake" - I AM IRRATIONALLY AMUSED BY PUNS! <3 "I set him down, he /chased me out of his woods/ by snapping at my tennis shoes. He was about the size of a pencil." He's a badass, straight up. He's probably out there intimidating something RIGHT NOW. ;)
PLEASE WRITE IT. THERE IS A SAD LACK OF DRAGON!LAURENCE OUT THERE.
"I think Laurence's crew instantly splits themselves between the two dragon, and Granby asks if he can still serve as lieutenant on /Laurence/. "You're my captain, sir" or something to that effect, and then Temeraire spoils the ecstasy of non-reactions by nuzzling them both." YES PLZ. And if anybody in the admiralty tries to assign Laurence a captain Temeraire will obviously have to get all indignant and they will both start thinking that it's a silly thing, really, to require a dragon to have a captain when they're fully sentient beings themselves... and hey, weren't there dragon generals in China? Couldn't they do the same in England? Etc., etc..
Also, maybe they could compromise and have Tharkay be acting captain. Or something. >_> Like how Granby is acting captain of Temeraire, because Temeraire will accept no substitute for Laurence.
...That idea you have for Jane and Laurence. ;_; TRAGIC. Gah. Please write it.
"He also sprains ligaments a few times because certain motions are not possible with wings, but his crew quickly learns when to sing out a warning." Oh yes. I imagine he has some dragony instincts but still thinks a LOT like the human he used to be and so sometimes the two sets of instincts don't really combine well. ;)
Also, now they HAVE to bring a Chinese cook along because there's NO WAY that Laurence will eat raw meat.
The only other fic I've read with dragon!Laurence (which was, admittedly, a dream sequence) had Laurence as a Flamme-de-Gloire because of his French ancestry. (In this one scribbled fic outline I wrote which involved dragon!Laurence I made him a Flamme-de-Gloire, too, because that involved additional misunderstandings in people thinking he was on the other side. Oh wait, come to think of it... I actually wrote out quite a bit of that one! ... Unfortunately, I can't send it to you yet because it contains spoilers of books three through five. >_> ) But yeah, I think that it would make more sense to have him be some sort of French or British dragon if you want his new body to reflect the old.
