Summary
When the crew of the Reliant captures the Amitie and the dragon egg it carries, Captain Will Laurence is set ill-at-ease—not because he is unfamiliar with dragons, but rather the opposite. For, over a decade ago following an injury aboard the Shorewise, he discovered he bore a curse, one that would cause him to awake from his dreams as something other than human, if ever his attentiveness slipped. He was a weredragon.
But then the hatchling Temeraire chooses him as his Captain, and the course of his life is forever altered, to become an aviator of His Majesty's Aerial Corps...at least by day. By night, the question of his nature remains quite up in the air.

Summary
His Majesty's Aerial Corps holds many secrets, but none are more closely guarded than the Plague and the Change. A century ago, amidst the War of the Spanish Succession, disease ravaged the British Isles, bringing about the death of a majority of dragons—a tragedy of the highest order kept hidden from the public eye. Even those that survived were left unable to fight or breed new offspring. After the Plague, all that was left to carry forward to future generations were the surviving eggs yet unhatched and a single healthy formation kept away in isolation. But these were insufficient in number to make a sustainable population, and besides, there was the more urgent problem that England was still at war and still needed her dragons. The alchemist Sir Issac Newton approached the Corps, however, and proposed a solution, one that won them the war and one that is still carried forward to this day: the Change. Dragons need not be hatched, when they can be made.
Captain Will Laurence, of His Majesty's Navy, knows none of this when the hatchling Temeraire chooses him as his companion. But to Loch Laggan they have been sent, and to Loch Laggan they must go, unaware that some people go there not to train, but to become dragons.

Summary
The year is 1802. Europe holds its breath as the scales of international stability, wobbling from the ascension of Napoleon Bonaparte to power in a revolution-torn France, begin an irreversible tilt towards war.
England has long stood in opposition to the revolutionary wars that have continuously reshaped their nearest neighbor on the Continent. Now, as conflict seems inevitable, England's Aerial Corps hears the call to service; new recruits are badly needed, both human and newly hatched dragons. One such new recruit is nine-year-old Stanford Pines, one of three sons and one of two twins, sent from home for being... different.
Ford soon begins to find his own place among the eccentric ranks of aviators and dragons-- and he isn't half of a dynamic duo for long.
The Pines and their dragon companions endure as the Napoleonic Wars rage. Conflict among themselves, regrets, and the influence of a renegade French officer named Guillaume or "Bill" Rift and his impressive dragon, Cipher, threaten to tear them apart.
But stubbornness runs in this family, and also this: when they choose to stand, they plant their feet and stand. Side by side. And if they should fall? Well. They fall where they stand.

Summary
Gentius popped his muzzle into the room.
"Celeritas wants to know if you're done and if Camilla accepted your proposal of marriage", the dragon said to Admiral James Rankin.
He pulled back his head, and spied into the room with one orange eye the size of a saucer.
"If not, could you hurry up?", he continued, "because he will not let us go until that happens, and we are all very hungry."Series

Summary
Rereading His Majesty’s Dragon is a notable experience in many ways, not least of which is the abundance of skin on display when Laurence and Temeraire arrive at Loch Laggan. Before Granby realizes who Laurence is and they get off on the wrong foot, Laurence declares himself to be on Team Granby, at least as far as balls are concerned.
Therefore, I amused myself by writing the Lt. Dayes-free version of Laurence & Granby: The Early Days, trying to keep as much of the original story as possible, using italics to indicate Novik's text. The italics are used in Chapter 1 and Chapter 4; Chapters 2 and 3 are my contribution, i.e. the smut.

Summary
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Harry Potter or Temeraire and am making no money from writing this so back off.
A mishap occurs during the Tri-Wizard Tournament with Harry, the Hungarian Hornatil, and a forgotten inter-mutual Asatru-Astrolatry site. Harry and the Horntail wake in a new world with new challenges and possibly a place where he can finally feel like he belongs.
Edit 9 April 2013: I have received PM's (on my FFnet account) saying that my prologue is similar to that of a deleted author called Esama. I have not read the work you are referring to and since some of you have actually explained to me some of the discrepancies they noticed let me give you some facts:
1. Harry and Horntail are not the same being. Horntail has her own intelligence through the site's magicks.
2. (Site explanation below in a comment to Selina_Katinka) But I will change it anyway.
Thank you to those who were politely concerned and to those of you who were increasingly rude and vulgar as your messages continued I hope you take a long walk off a short cliff. Also to those that have already read this prologue once you will notice that I have added the Horntail's perspective.

Summary
True training could never come quickly enough to suit Jeremy, either. He longed to be among other aviators, among the majestic beasts they commanded, and in company with Celeritas whom he would command in due time.
