Summary
When, during their desperate flight from Scotland to France with the cure to the dragon plague, Laurence and Temeraire encounter an English patrol hellbent on stopping their mission, Laurence finds himself near mortally wounded and his return to England thus necessarily delayed. The ripple effects of this extended stay in France will be far beyond what he, or his eager hosts, could have anticipated.

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
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
Temeraire is dead.
Temeraire is dead, and Laurence’s reason for living along with him. He stumbles on, day by day, conscious of the concern of his friends and family, yet unable to care.
Until an unexpected letter leads Laurence to something even more unexpected still: a child.
What a Chinese orphan is doing on the streets of Edinburgh is anyone’s guess, including the orphan's. Tharkay, for his part, suspects foul play. Laurence can see all that is sensible in the man’s suspicions, yet once again he cannot bring himself to care. Not when the child reminds him so very strongly of that which he’s lost.

Summary
“Gentleman, rather than the best of our front line aerial corps, and subject our dear Sapa Inca to a loveless marriage, can we not offer her the best opportunity at love and a prodigious match by extending her a tour of the London season?” She looked around at the table, as comprehension dawned on more than one face. “Would she not be the flower of the ton?-“
———
Anaharque decides to have a London season rather than marry Napoleon, so the Incans, the Tswana, unmarried Portuguese royalty, and His Majesty’s Aerial Corps descend on London, Bridgerton Style. -

Summary
Local dragons run an experiment called: Dragon See, Dragon Do (only not everything their humans do is fit for their attempts)
OR: Granby and Little are just trying to find their place in a post-war world. In the background (and don't think too hard about this), Temeraire and Iskierka run some experiments, try to get along as best they can, and accidentally introduce their humans to the concept of polyamory. Also, Immortalis is there too, but he's much more dignified about this whole mess.

Summary
Laurence flipped through the packet of letters, pausing as he spotted the direction made out in one familiar, scrawling hand. This was unlooked-for; he was not owed a letter, for it was his turn to write. He hoped it was not more bad news.
He would take it up to the pavilion and open it with Temeraire, he decided.
A sequel to The pearl.

Summary
Catherine said, "Jane told me that she'd mentioned it to you, though it was when you and Temeraire had first come to Loch Laggan. More than a decade ago, good heavens."
"Mentioned what to me?" Laurence asked, still vaguely concerned about the flush on Harcourt's cheeks.
"Well. About you... that is, us, to secure future companions for Lily and Temeraire..." Harcourt wouldn't meet his eyes, stammering uncharacteristically. "Not to say that it would only be an obligation, of course! You truly are a dear friend, Laurence, and I'd trust you with this more than anyone. You and Mr. Tharkay both, since I know there could never be one involved and not the other..."
Laurence felt an odd prickle upon the back of his neck, the beginnings of a suspicion-- ungentlemanly to even consider-- and found himself asking, voice gone a bit rough. "Harcourt-- Catherine. Please, I beg you speak freely, for I am always at your service. What is it you would ask of me?"
Harcourt's green eyes were wide, and Laurence had never noticed just how many flecks of gold they contained. She held his gaze and the prickling sensation, like ghostly fingertips, intensified.
"I'd ask you for a baby, Will."

Summary
Granby unexpectedly goes into heat in Australia, unable to source suppressants for himself. Laurence and Tharkay, both alphas, must reckon with their (supposed) unrequited feelings for each other while helping Granby through his heat.
"I want him," he hears himself growling into Laurence's ear. "Do you hear me, Laurence? He's mine." The heat-addled alpha part of his mind is thinking of taking Granby, of sinking into him and claiming him, but deep below, in the part of him that he never allows to become conscious thought, his mind says if I can't have you, Will, I'll have what you want.

Summary
Accepting a housemate recommendation from his friend who was almost definitely a spy wasn't the best idea John Granby ever had. In his defense, though, he had a pyromaniac eight year old to wrangle, which took up about half of his brain capacity on a good day.
