Temeraire

I've been meaning to read Naomi Novik's Temeraire novels for a while, since I love all her writing so much, but I was waiting until the third to come out since I suspected that otherwise I would be too impatient. That was a good call, since I read the first one Thursday night and ended up taking the day off work yesterday to read the next two. And then I stayed up until 6 a.m. reading every single post on the two livejournal communities dedicated to Temeraire.

So I guess I'm hooked! And I have to say, before I read these novels I would have said my interest in dragon stories was very low and my interest in historical fiction about the Napoleanic wars was zero. Apparently I was very wrong on both counts.

Spoilers for His Majesty's Dragon , Throne of Jade and Black Powder War behind the cut.

So now I'm waiting for the SV/Temeraire AU crossover in which Clark is a dragon and Lex is an aviator. Maybe Lex discovered Clark's egg in the field after the meteor shower. Dragons are already "super" in the flying/strength/firebreathing abilities, so clearly what would be different about Kryptonian dragons is that they can shapeshift into human form, thus making human/dragon romance a little easier.

I don't suppose anyone has actually written this?
