Sharpe's Dragon
I've just finished reading a truly excellent fan novel on AO3.
Sharpe's Dragon is a crossover between the worlds of Sharpe and Temeraire, but I think people who are only familiar with Sharpe will still enjoy it.
Take the Naoleonic Wars and add an aerial corps of dragons.
Take Moncey, a bit of a riff-raff among dragons, a small, ex-feral, independent minded and occasionally lonely dragon who happens to run into the South Essex while warning them of an attack. Give him a slowly developing friendship with a man who is a bit of a riff-raff among officers, slightly feral and independent minded....
It's slow paced, with excellent historical detail and true to all the characters.
HIghly recommended.
