Verse: Sherlock BBC ~ Temeraire crossover
Author's summary: "Prompt from tumblr, "Sherlock would make a marvelous dragon". Who am I to disagree with that? I didn't write this all that seriously (hence characters with no names and even I have no idea where these people even are), and I doubt I will continue it, but it was fun enough to write."
Reccer's comments: The author is too modest. Sherlock does indeed make a marvelous dragon. For those who have read the excellent Temeraire novels by Naomi Novik, being a dragon - a highly intelligent but nonhuman creature - makes all too much sense of Sherlock's brilliance and his, ah, social awkwardness - of course he doesn't get normal human interaction, he isn't one! And if BBC Sherlock were a dragon, we can easily imagine that he would dissect the cows he was fed and make John tell him all about the organs before eating them.
Tiny excerpt: "Pull yourselves together. Men have been harnessing dragons since the time of the Romans and before, it's nothing to go into hysterics about," it said, startling John and the rest of them.
