I'd forgotten about that Hour fic until I looked at my folders. It's called something like "Five Times Freddie and Bel didn't have sex, and one time they did" (and the last time is a threesome with Hector. It's all planned out in my head, but I'm not sure when I'll ever write it. Love those characters, though!
I wanted to like The Paying Guests so much--everyone I know has loved it. I'm not sure what irked me--partly that it was so drawn out, and partly that I only have so much patience for "I can't live without you" plots. I couldn't really buy the ending, either. But I am clearly in the minority re: all of that! (The Little Stranger is the book of hers that no one likes, so I should have known!)
I bet you'll like Hardcore History--he's great at explaining military history, and he has a lot to say about historiography, too. "Ghosts of the Ostfront" is fabulous, but you have to pay for it at this point. The WWI one, "Blueprint for Armageddon" is fantastic--explains things about the war that have always puzzled me--and it in front of the paywall at the moment.
