Dear Yuletide 2017

It's That Time Of Year Again! I didn't do it last year because 2016 Sucked and this year isn't great either but I Gotta Move On With My Life

Right now I'm posting this so I get the placeholder link for my letter, hopefully I will have letter words in here by the end of the week. If I don't, pardon my mess and thank you for signing up!
Update (October 10): They sure sent assignments out super, SUPER early this year. I'm even more sorry about this than I usually am.

• Shortly post-series, with Temeraire sorting out the first session(s) of the League of Dragons. Key question: does he do a Washington and step down after a while? Or maybe for his whole life he's more "I built it, I deserve to be in charge of it forever," which seems more in-character but he does have an awfully long lifespan to develop as a character. (Although he does seem to have Other Things To Do.)
• Further post-series, maybe Temeraire POV on where everyone is a couple of decades (maybe even a century?) later. Great way to go for angst and I am Very Here for seeing Temeraire navigate grief as people from his first crew start dying in ways that aren't necessarily occupational hazards that people signed up for.
• Probably any time post-series (but probably ever further in the future), would love to see a biographical perspective on Temeraire. Is it the first (known) published biography of a dragon? Does the writer get in touch with Temeraire, or do they know from preliminary research that there are only two ways this ends? (You KNOW he would backseat write everything he could, or else blacklist the author for being unfashionable and/or rude and nosy.) Is he a well-known historical figure, or is dragon history sort of brushed over in schools and understated? Is he better known for poetry and scholarship? Is he overshadowed by a new dragon activist? What's his personal life been like?
• Something during the series? Maybe an additional scene from the days before Temeraire POV was a thing that happened in canon? It's been too long for me to immediately think of what I'd especially like to see, maybe something about things Temeraire thinks about the people in Laurence's life, or maybe like, that time in Throne of Jade where Temeraire missed the battle and felt bad about it afterwards.
