➜ yuletide fanfic, for Temeraire
➜ in the form of a student's essay written centuries later about Temeraire's political career after the war
➜ absolutely delightful, the things you can see about what the standard narrative about Temeraire must have been, that this student is trying to upend!
➜ and it's so right about Temeraire, too....his temperament is revolutionary but he loves money too much to be in favour of any politics that might lead to him having less of it
➜ also, love the very Student Essay nature of it, with most of the footnoted sources leading back to a single book, lol
➜ 1k words in length
