A Web Serial Novel set in an Alternate History in which World War 1 ended two years early in complete stalemate, leaving Europe's governments and national borders largely unchanged. The world is ostensibly at peace, though a cold war still brews between the opposing sides. In the absence of military imperative, heavier-than-air flight has failed to reach practicality and the skies are ruled by airships.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Captain Roland P. Everett of the Royal Navy Airship Service is on routine patrol duty over the Pacific Ocean when his vessel is ambushed by a massive cruiser of unknown origin. Caught by surprise, he is able to save only a few of his crew by taking refuge on the still-airborne bow of the bisected ship as the stern plunges into the ocean. They manage to reach an island containing a French colony, only to discover a German airship already docked. As the two nations are still officially at war, he decides to investigate, and finds himself drawn into a power struggle that threatens not only himself and his crew, but the very foundations of an already tenuous peace.Find it here. | |

I'm a Humanitarian: One of the characters comes from a tribe of cannibals. Played for Laughs. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| The Flying Cloud / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshaded in Episode 122, when Captain Everett encounters a war surplus tank with the name "Chekhov's Gun" painted on its side. You'll never guess what vehicle the good Captain ends up driving just three episodes later... | |

Noodle Incident | |
| The Flying Cloud / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Whatever Helga's crew did with cymbals and roller skates at the Germans' Christmas Party. Episode 197 mentions a past conflict between Baron Warfield and Viscount Millbridge in Burma. All we know is that water buffalo were involved. Also, in the same episode, whatever Lady Millbridge did to Baroness Warfield with the ice skates and barrels of salt. | |

Crazy-Prepared | |
| The Flying Cloud / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: Jenkins is a signalman of the Royal Navy Signal Corps, goes into situations prepared for most eventualities, or has a particular set of skills or knowledge on the most obscure of subjects handy at the moment. Captain Everett explains that "his other talents remain a mystery, for members of the Signal Corps have secrets that are not for such as you and I to know." | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| The Flying Cloud / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: If they're given a name, expect them to show up eventually. Lampshaded in Episode 122, when Captain Everett encounters a war surplus tank with the name "Chekhov's Gun" painted on its side. You'll never guess what vehicle the good Captain ends up driving just three episodes later... | |

Running Gag | |
| The Flying Cloud / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: "Oh, that's alright then." Abercrombie and MacKiernan betting a shilling over anything and everything. Iwamoto insists that he just "Comes with engines" whenever anyone questions him about his origin. In the earlier chapters, Iverson expects scenarios to work out like the plots of radio dramas, then explained to that real life is not the same. The Trapezohedron | |
