I think this is what happens when a group of young women are taking a European History course and binging on Fruits Basket at the same time. Historical fanfiction is what I'd call it. Weirdly it makes me want to read up on actual history now for comparison. About halfway through the narrators say they're giving history the finger, which I'm pretty sure happened quite a bit sooner.

The pop culture references get to be a bit much but, having digested quite a lot of fanfiction over the years, that's pretty much par for the course.
