Tide of History mini-challenge
For those of us interested in historical requests, it can be hard enough just to pinpoint all the different RPF fandoms, let alone the various fictional ones, so this is a mini-challenge to help history-lovers find each other this Yuletide!
Tide of History
Link to your letters or post/expand requests here if you're into historical canons (RPF or fictional), want historical aspects of a non-historical canon (time travel, backstory, immortal lives), historical fantasy/SF/horror canons, traditional tales etc. with a period-setting, once-contemporary canons that are now historical, or if you'd love historical AUs for your fandom(s)!
Simply comment below using the handy c+p text to find like-minded requesters and treaters.

Request details: (optional, though some indication of period/setting would be good)
I'm not going to be prescriptive about what is and isn't history - if your request/canon involves a recognisable period prior to the 21st C, and you think it belongs here, then it does.
You can tag it "Tide of History Challenge" when posting if you would like.

Request details:
-Benjamin January is a crime series set in 1840s New Orleans. I'm requesting Ben (the main character, a black musician and surgeon who keeps getting dragged into solving crime) and Shaw (a detective who originally comes from Kentucky, a lot smarter than he pretends to be).

I'm requesting the two main characters, Frey (snooty English detective, a huge snob who has a heart of gold) and McGray (Scottish chaos goblin, firmly believes in the supernatural and is dealing with the murder of his entire family)
-Sam Wyndham is a crime series set in 1920s India. I'm requesting Sam (British detective, opium addict, strongly committed to justice but has a big blind spot about the injustices he's helping to perpetuate) and Surendranath (Indian detective, general sweetheart but getting steadily more annoyed about the situation in India)
