Summary
"Euphrasia ate like someone who never had enough food—Valyanos recognized it, with an inward shudder, from his time in the mines, before the arena and his wooden sword—methodically scooping soup into her mouth with the bread and cleaning the bowl with the crust until not a single chickpea remained, nibbling the apple down to the barest core."
Valjean and Cosette in Roman Gaul, 38 B.C.E.

Summary
If Selwyn Tarth, Rear-Admiral of the Blue in His Majesty’s Royal Navy (retired), thought it passing odd that his only daughter clamoured to attend a ball in the nearby town’s Assembly House, he wisely kept his opinion to himself. -- Regency AU. Seriously.

Summary
In the beginning, Harold Finch offers John Reese the 'chance to be there in time'....what if he meant that literally?
Thanks to some wonderful photomanips of Finch & Reese made for me as part of an LJ gift exchange, this idea for 'PoI' set in Victorian England has been rattling around in my brain for some time.
The fact that it has finally forced its way out of my psyche and begun being set to word processor is due to kmmerc's wonderful historical works inspiring me. Kmmerc, thank you! Hopefully it will fly and if not, at least I will have exorcised a plot-bunny demon and maybe Sir Hareington will leave me alone for awhile.
P.S.--Sorry if Reese’s cockney dialect sounds a bit contrived. I like writing phonetically when I do ‘accents’. I apologize if it becomes irritating to decipher.

Summary
Before Enjolras' mother is the Republic, before Combeferre can prefer a Condorcet or a Robespierre, before de Courfeyrac drops his particle...in fact, before the taking of the Bastille.
(But not before the first partitioning of Poland. And Grantaire still doesn't do personal boundaries very well.)
For the #Les Mis Across History festival: actual French Revolution.

Summary
This entire story is based "about 2000 years ago", when Yamamoto's school was started, and Kyouraku and Ukitake were attending the Academy. It had lots of sword play, and a lot of fights, but it also has a very sweet shonen-ai sort of romance, which is denied by Kyouraku, between the two Academy boys.
This is an account of how Ukitake and Kyouraku got their shikai at the same time, so that no one could tell which one got it before the other, as Yamamoto told it. It's also got the beating that Yamamoto gave them, and more about what Soul Society was like back 2000 years ago. It has some historical facts in it, but is not entirely historically accurate. It also deviates from canon and from Unohana's origins. Please accept my apologies for any inaccuracies. Incandescens is my beta for this series, without her, this would not exist.
Please enjoy the first chapter of many...
