epaulettes + regency   15

Restraint by DarkEmeralds
In which Jared and Jensen are recast into the late Regency. This fic is a masterpiece. It's connection to the real people it's slashing is tenuous at best, it could be considered original fiction, but I don't hold that against it. It's difficult to explain how engrossing this fic is, but at 150,000+ words, I still burned though a PODFIC of it in 2 days, utterly helpless to tear myself away from this world or these characters. Moreover, it deals in the historical details and atmosphere in a laudably accurate and realistic way, without sacrificing the dramatic irony and pathos that we in the 21C feel toward a gay love affair set 100+ years before it was possible for such a love to be realized in the wider world. This fic made me sit down and really think about the people I love in my life, how lucky I am to have all of them, and to have passion, and to have freedom, and it takes a special power to cause that depth of reflection.
