impala_chickBelow are my favorite historical fics from Yuletide. One of them was my gift ♥
Fiat Justitia on AO3
Creator: Selena
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count: 10,924
Characters/Pairings: 18th Century Frederician RPF (Frederick the Great & Wilhelmine, Frederick the Great/Hans)
Notes/Warnings: Both of the main characters are dealing with grief. Also, past filicide.
Summary: August 1730: Crown Prince Friedrich attempts to flee his abusive father and dies. His lover, Hans Hermann von Katte, escapes with Friedrich's sister Wilhelmine. Come what may, Wilhelmine is determined to avenge her brother...
Why I'm reccing it: I knew nothing about this time period before reading. This is a detailed 1700s what-if with a righteous, angry, and complex female main character, political intrigue, and a wonderful developing friendship. Plus, there is a meaningful exploration of grief and the relationship between a brother and sister.

Allemande on AO3
Creator: Lucyemers
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count: 1,635
Characters/Pairings: Turn (TV 2014), Benjamin Tallmadge/Caleb Brewster
Notes/Warnings: PTSD symptoms at the beginning
Summary: A Christmas party at Mount Vernon finds Ben and Caleb in the cups and in their feelings.
Why I'm reccing it: Really wonderful 1700s party details, and drunk Ben and Caleb! Singing and dancing and getting flirty! This fic gives me all the romantic winter vibes.

L’homme qu’il n’aurait pas quitté on AO3
Creator: iberiandoctor
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 3,761
Characters/Pairings: 19th Century France RPF, Jacques-Antoine Manuel/Pierre-Jean de Béranger
Noes/Warnings: Discussions and References to War-related violence
Summary: The veteran soldier during the Three Glorious Days, and that which his devoted chansonnier— living in their quiet retreat — would have remarked upon at his side on the battlefield of power.
Why I'm reccing it: I was not familiar with either figure before reading, but I loved the contrast between the two of them and the interesting discussions about the revolution (and I learned some new things while reading). The cozy and steadfast m/m love was really lovely to read as well.
