a flutter between us (5251 words) by jouissant - Richard I of England/Philip II of France
In which the future King of England and the present King of France are soul-bonded, and it makes everything all that more complicated. Great historical worldbuilding.
As Ice in the Desert (2267 words) by DachOsmin - Richard I of England/Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb | Saladin
Richard and Saladin almost certainly never met in real life, but that's never stopped fic writers before. This imagined visit of a disguised Saladin to his adversary's sickbed is wonderful, sweetly erotic identity porn.
such a guest as grief (1962 words) by angevin2 - Duke of Aumerle/Richard II, Richard II/Robert de Vere
Love and longing and death and grief. This story hurts, but in the best kind of way.
A Required Notation (2015 words) by scioscribe - Hans Christian Andersen/Harald Scharff
I knew nothing about these men and their relationship before reading the recipient's letter, but I'm glad I took a chance on it. This is a lovely, bittersweet little story.
In The House Of Muses (1480 words) by bofoddity - Elizabeth Siddal, Fanny Eaton, Sophy Gray
Imaginary interviews with three of the best-known models/muses for the Pre-Raphaelite artists. I love these kinds of stories, which forefront the forgotten/unacknowledged women of history.
By Bright Moonlight (1053 words) by saiditallbefore - Khutulun | Aiyurug | Khotol Tsagaan
Khutulun was a Mongolian ruler's daughter and legendary warrior who declared she would not marry a suitor who could not beat her at wresting. This is a lovely small snippet of her story.
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long (1077 words) by harborshore - Christopher Marlowe/William Shakespeare
A lovely short series of short snapshots of Kit and Will together. Sexy, sweet and sad in equal measure.
Marlowe in the Otherworld (4896 words) by Mosca - Christopher Marlowe/Original Male Characters
"The one where Kit Marlowe lives. And lives, and lives, and lives."
Beautiful, hopeful and joyfully queer, with an unexpected take on the fae mythos. This fic just makes me so very, very happy.
Five Conversations with a Drunk Hemingway (1267 words) (archive-locked) by tuesday - F. Scott Fitzgerald/Ernest Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway & Zelda Fitzgerald
Witty dialogue and amusing characterization. This is how history should have gone.
