General Search: Historical AUs & Bodyswap/Genderswap Fics  
I've recently fallen in love with historical aus like compo67's The Shortest Distance and tabaqui's South China Sea. If anyone has favorite historical fics to share, or knows of rec lists I could peruse, I'd be more than grateful.

Also, there've been a couple genderswap requests lately, but with specific caveats I don't share. Are there any more faves lurking out there? Or bodyswap, for that matter? I've never paid much attention to these before, but for whatever reason I'm finding them very fun now.

Gen, J2, Sam/Dean, or any Sam- or Jared-centric pairing are welcome, and I've got no real triggers or squicks except mpreg.

Thank you all!

Castaways series by [livejournal.com profile] veronamay on A03. Jared/Jensen. J2 AU. Set in the 19th century, Jared washes up on an almost deserted island. Dr. Ackles rescues him.

The Rake and the Footman by [livejournal.com profile] veronamay on A03. Jared/Jensen. J2 AU. Set in 1855, Jared is a footman and Jensen is the upper-class society member who falls for him.

The Molly House by [livejournal.com profile] annie_46fic on A03. Jared/Jensen. J2 AU. Under the rule of Charles II, Jared, a Puritan, is “given” to royalist Jensen.

Dangerous Waters by [livejournal.com profile] virtualpersonal on A03. Sam/Dean. Wincest AU. Set in the 1700s, Dean is a pirate and takes Sam as his prisoner. Non-con to dub-con to consensual between Sam and Dean.

Two Halves Made Whole series by [livejournal.com profile] heatherofnight on Livejournal. Jared/Jensen. Jared is a knight-in training and Jensen is his lord.

Gotta See a Man About a Thing by [livejournal.com profile] dugindeep on A03. Jared/Jensen. J2 AU. In the 1920s, Jared works in a brothel.

Steel verse by [livejournal.com profile] tipsy_kitty on A03. Jared/Jensen. J2 AU. Jared is an early 20th century blacksmith and Jensen comes to his shop looking for hand-crafted toys.

I'll add a fourth for Restraint...

As for body and gender swap, this has both:

Change my Life Again by Eugara on A03. Sam/Dean. Wincest. Season 8. All Sam wants to do is take a tiny break for his brother's birthday, but a case that Dean refuses to pass up and a run-in with a cursed sword sends the Winchesters Quantum Leap-ing through other people's lives. Sam just wants to get back to their own bodies. Dean bets Sam Beckett had a much easier time of it.

And bodyswapping a la Quantum Leap, this one is wonderful!

Until You're Resting Here by [livejournal.com profile] nyxocity on A03. Jared/Jensen. J2 AU. Jensen is much like Sam Beckett, leaping through time into bodies that all interact in some way with Jared.
