    Summary

    After bringing the cure to France, Napoleon points out that the execution of a Chinese prince - even an adopted one - may well spark a war between China and England. Laurence grudgingly agrees to stay in France with the expectation that he and Temeraire will live a long and boring life away from any fighting, but he doesn't expect Napoleon's persistence.

    Summary

    Laurence woke with a start, and for a long moment did not recognize his surroundings. The cabin was filled with light, but it was not his, and his berth was startlingly unmoving; no hammock at all.

    He sat up, and met Napoleon’s eyes. The emperor was sat again at the table, over papers and maps, and some unrepentant air about him declared as well as if he’d said so that he had been watching Laurence as he slept.

    “Ah, you are awake.” His eyes again roamed Laurence, up and down, with an appreciation that made Laurence’s cheeks heat. “You look much better.”

    If Napoleon had been on the French dragon transport in Crucible of Gold.

    Summary

    Gale had grown used to exchanging with Astarion: sate one hunger for another. That night, however, as the thrum of the orb demanded it be fed, Gale found himself pleasantly surprised when the rogue arrived with a companion in tow.

    "The witching hour approaches, and at last, my patience has been rewarded with the company of not only my pale seraph, but a mysterious second," Gale said. "I pray you come bearing a gift under your feathery cape."

    When Astarion replied, his words carried their typical sultry cadence as he cocked his head to the side. "My, my, waxing poetry tonight, are we? Are you considering hanging the wizard robes and taking up a career as a bard?"
