Some historical fics that surprised me - either by the choice of setting or by the use of it.

A Lost Letter of Jane Austen and Darla's Letter by [livejournal.com profile] hello_spikey. A clergyman's daughter writes her sister about two new acquaintences, a Mr. and Mrs. Angelus.

The Scourge Does Titipu by [livejournal.com profile] rebcake. Fanged Four musical comedy. Yes? Yes!!!

Us And Them by [livejournal.com profile] beer_good_foamy. Wolfram & Hart backstory. Way, way, WAY pre-series and even pre-history.

Propugnatrix Pollia by [livejournal.com profile] quinara. The final account of the Watcher Secundus Pollius Paulus, in the year 48 AD, describing the events that lead to his Slayer’s premature death.

The Cloak of Mist by [livejournal.com profile] speakr2customrs. Beautifully written adventure story about OC Slayer called on the Isle of Mann, A.D. 1014.

I just read the last two a couple of days ago - nice recs - and am really looking forward to the Beer Good story. Those are always awesome.

Ooo! Thanks for the rec! Not surprisingly, I adore historical fic, and there are a couple here that I haven't read! Woo hoo!

Thanks a lot for the rec!

Actually don't think I've read any of the others, so it looks like I'm in for a treat. :)
