"XD OMG YES. Temeraire-brand subtlety is amazing to behold. He's bigger than the metaphorical elephant in the room. I'm sure that he makes inappropriate comments every so often and then goes back to pretending like they don't know he's there." Jane manages to maintain her composure. Granby snickers a couple times at particularly good deeds, when not worried sick about Laurence. If it was ANYBODY else, Laurence would be right there with them arguing for the right of it, but he would never put himself out so much.
Granby does feel better when "SIR" makes Laurence a tiny bit more like himself, since even Tem and Jane can barely manage that much.
"IT IS NOW ON MY MENTAL SUMMER READING LIST. I've been meaning to reread all of Tamora Pierce's books for a while... A new awesome series is as good an excuse as any!" 'Will of the Empress' rocks too, if you read her Circle of Magic series. It's abruptly for older readers and awesome, and I /swear/ there are hints of Briar and Tris and it's freaking adorable. She's all conscientious about what he really likes and he's sleeping with half the city's population of pretty women.
"It's my headcanon for situations in which I want him to be in a relationship with another man, and others have used this justification in fanfic before. :) It's practically fanon! ;)" It's practically history. On a ship at twelve, still on a ship at 15, no female creatures allowed... they had to do something.
"I've read about things like that! The history of homosexuality, and the lengths that people had to go to... fascinating stuff. Have you heard of Boston marriages? Popular in the early 1900s? They're two single women living together, purportedly for practical reasons like paying the rent, but it's believed that a significant amount of them were at least party sexual in nature." A couple of my great-aunts had that, we think-- one related, one her "roommate" of decades. They were tiny little Irish schoolteachers that lived in a very nasty part of Detroit. Nobody messed with them, they were cute and harmless.
