dodificusTitle: A Voyage Of Discovery
Fandom: Temeraire
Pairing: Laurence/Tharkay
Summary: Three times William Laurence was oblivious on the journey to Australia.
‘I hope so too,’ Tharkay said, low, holding his gaze. He paused – seemed about to go on – lifted his hand in an abortive movement. It was his left hand, dotted with the old white scars where his eagle had bitten him. Laurence found himself captivated by it, obscurely disappointed when it paused, and Tharkay shook his head and ran it through his hair: an uncharacteristically revelatory gesture. ‘Laurence, I see you are determined to remain ignorant, and there is that within me, call it conscience or scruple or what you will, that forbids me to be plainer. I must bid you good night.’
I think much of my favourite part of this fandom is Laurence and the way that sometimes he can't see what's in front of him because it would just never occur to him to look. This author has a beautiful, proper, *romantic* way with words and it was a delight to read.
