Rec of the day

Soiree by [livejournal.com profile] ruby_caspar
Summary: Georgette Heyer Regency AU. The Dowager Duchess known as the Black Widow is the talk of the ton - rich and mysterious, the only way to meet this elusive lady is through the equally mysterious Mr Barton…
Characters: Natasha, Clint, team, Pepper, and a delightfully clueless OC; canon pairings; Regency AU/spies/con; rated PG; 8700 words

I've never read a Regency novel, but I'm filled with the sudden desire to pick up a Georgette Heyer book. :)
Love the plot, the style, the characterizations and the whole atmosphere. Especially seeing Natasha play the mark, through the eyes of the mark... pretty awesome.
