All Things Historical

Both of these are from the same Harry Potter epic, but I don't think you need the rest of the fics to understand and enjoy these - they're almost entirely populated by OCs and historical figures, and though magic certainly features a lot, the main points for me are the political intrigues of the 900s in Europe.

(Mods, this post could possibly use tags for f: harry potter and 10th century?)
