General Search: Regency/Victorian AUs, Slash.

Hi!

Like it says on the tin, i'm looking for fics that are Regency or Victorian era AU's with a Slash pairing.
I'm not paticular about *what* pairing/s are involved, or whether it's RPS or not. I don't care if it's A/B/O, or a universe where homosexuality is fully accepted, or one where they have to hide/keep things secret. I'm mostly just looking for the setting; the manners, clothing, formality that you get from this type of AU.
The catch is that I've already read everything I could find with related tags (historical, victorian, regency etc) on AO3, so I'm looking for stories maybe hosted on LJ or other sites.

Things I'm not looking for: WIP's, relentless angst/major character death.
... Anything else goes.

Many thanks!

(mods, I wasn't sure what else to tag this with; If I need to add/change something, just let me know!)

Have you read The Rake and the Footman (http://archiveofourown.org/series/36042) by veronamay? I know it's on AO3, but ti doesn't have any of the tags you listed.

I don't have anything else saved that fits your request exactly, but Dangerous Waters (http://virtualpersonal.livejournal.com/275901.html) by virtualpersonal is pirate!Dean/English-lord!Sam (serious angst in the beginning but resolves into a happy ending), and Sherwood (http://crackedfic.livejournal.com/23168.html) by crackedbuthappy is princeling!Jensen(with all the manners that go with that) and Jared as Robin Hood.

ETA: I just noticed that veronamay's story does have the "victorian" tag. Oops. I'll leave it just in case you haven't seen it.

I was coming here to rec The Rake and the Footman too!♥ Although I have the podfic which is titled Honeyflower, Apple, and Lime (http://www.audiofic.jinjurly.com/honey-flower-apple-and-lime-timestamps). Exmanhater does a wonderful job on the reading.

Restraint (http://archiveofourown.org/works/61002/chapters/80646) pretty much foots the bill I think.

also try Awaiting on You (http://spn-meanttobe.livejournal.com/8335.html)

and [livejournal.com profile] j2_recs has an Historical tag (http://j2-recs.livejournal.com/tag/historical) you can check out.

I second Restraint so hard. It's an *amazing* story.

Restraint is one of the best fanfics I've ever read.

An Uncommon Season by Topaz is great (and VERY focused on historical details) if you don't mind Jensen/JDM: http://archiveofourown.org/works/210262

So is Innocent Fire by Fatebegins (warning for A/B/O. I know you said you don't mind it, but better safe than sorry!): http://archiveofourown.org/987440

Enjoy! And ditto on Restraint. You'll LOVE it. :)
