Chance Encounters and Dalliances of the Draconic French during a Time of Great Upheaval by cadaeic
Fandoms: French History RPF, French Revolution RPF, 18th Century CE RPF
13 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Very short glimpses into a rather more scaled and feathered version of the French Revolution, where Saint-Just extols the virtues of draconic friendship, we find out what the equivalent of a telepathic stammer is and Carnot has no idea what the devil Fouché is doing. There are dragons in all three Estates, but this isn't a revolution just for them. It's for everyone.
Nope, not Temeraire. Fairly lighthearted, relationships can be read however you please.

Summary
In a space station in the middle of nowhere, Pilot Michel “Lion” of the Ney geneline, Squadron Leader of the 5th Hussars Network, has just escaped from an exploding cavalry mech. All of his hussars are trapped in glitching metal tombs and everything is exploding.
There's an experimental and unique mech unit nearby - the Immaculata. Michel is prepared to die trying to reach it, to have his brains fried for attempting to interface with it or to be executed for accessing it.
He was not prepared to have to deal with its very grumpy AI.
Sci-fi mech AU, may not require knowledge of dead Frenchmen to read.

twice, a fallen blade by cadaeic

Summary
Twice did Marshal Lannes challenge another of his fellow marshals to a duel. The first was in the prelude to Austerlitz, when Marshal Soult had blundered in advising retreat to the Emperor. The second was in the early days of Aspern-Essling, as a recalcitrant Marshal Bessières took umbrage to Lannes’ orders.
Neither duel was consummated. But let us suppose, in two different imaginings, that they had been.
Let’s play a game of pretend.

Summary
In 1813, after increased instability and erratic behaviour, Jean-Andoche Junot was sent to the village of Montbard to be cared for by his elderly father and family. This is not a recounting of what happened there, not exactly.
This is more of an incoherent rumination on the nature of something very much like sunlight.

The Dream That Dreams Once Dreamt Of by cadaeic

Summary
“… many of Napoleon's senior officers have become characters of folklore, if not downright fiction. His marshals, especially, have been so bedaubed by careless writers' ink that the true personalities of some of them remain almost unknown.” — Swords Around A Throne, John R. Elting
A strange surreal fairytale about a man-eating ogre and a heroic knight with legs of stone.

An Accounting of the Draconic French during the Turn of the 19th Century by cadaeic
Fandom 18th Century CE RPF, French History RPF, French Revolution RPF
13 Sep 2025
Summary
Genesis tells us that in the beginning, the serpent deceived the woman Eve into partaking of the forbidden, and ever since, Nahral's children have been cursed with bestial appearances, cruel hungers and an eternal exhaustion that clings to their wings and claws. And so, they have accompanied Adam's children in eternal atonement.
Of course, this is just one explanation, and an explanation that was easily discarded when the Enlightenment upheld natural religion and rationalism above clericalism. But who cares?
The children of the Enlightenment, human and draconic, certainly have bigger problems to worry about than ancient myths.
An alternate reality where certain historical personages of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars are dragons. And nope, not the Napoleonic dragons you might be thinking about.

Summary
The Regal Copper Laurentius accidentally acquires a captain, Tharkay spectates, Temeraire is Not Actually an Orphan, and no one really knows who's leading France. Someone should probably get on that, considering England is at war with the place.
