What can I say, I'm cynical and don't expect hidden places to be nice until I've had a very good view of what's going on.
Laurence and Temeraire eventually form a two-point formation, and the two of them have an impossibly close synchrony of movement that nobody else can touch. They watch the other's flank constantly, they seem telepathic, and nobody even thinks to separate the pair when you could have two stronger positions (instead of one unassailable one). After a couple years, it's impossible to think of them being apart.
Jane had a long talk with Excidium, and they agreed that her lieutenant would take temporary command (same one that gets it while she's pregnant). Later, she gets command back, he has a nice resume boost, and Excidium's mature enough to miss her without letting it affect the fight.
Yeah. Fire breather, so everybody's pushing and pulling, and it probably takes Granby reminding all present that this dragon has the mind of a man, if they have ever doubted it in the others, and he will not stand back and watch them give his captain to the highest bidder. (Sir.)
Temeraire has a rather long period of frustration to suffer through, poor thing, but Jane is supportive and Lily thinks it's sweet.
