A special welcome to mific, who is reccing for the first time! I'll be around, too, making my usual random recs, as will the admins as recurrent reccers.

Reccers, you all have access and can start posting at any time. Remember that you have committed yourself to reccing at least two fics over the course of August, although of course we will be happy with more. Feel free to use the copy-and-paste template from the reccer's FAQ for your convenience.

Why This Must Be Read: Hi there - this month I'm reccing Historical AUs and we're starting way back in medieval times and working our way forward to the 20th century. In this lovely fic Rodney's a monk and John's a disgraced knight exiled to his monastery. I like how canon's translated into this totally different context and how they're still very much themselves. The details are great as well - in trying to figure out roughly when the story might be set I looked up the Archimedes text mentioned toward the end, and it sounds absolutely like the sort of revolutionary thinking that would have excited Rodney.
