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.

Fandom(s) & Character(s):
Mansfield Park - Jane Austen: Fanny Price
Sense and Sensiblity - Jane Austen: Elinor Dashwood, Colonel Brandon, Edward Ferrars
Kulla-Gulla series - Martha Sandwall-Bergström: Vera Karlberg, Ville Karlberg, Mamsell Modig
Peer Gynt - Henrik Ibsen: Solveig
Request details:
Both Mansfield Park and Sense and Sensibility are Jane Austen novels, set in Regency England or around that time (late 18th/early 19th century), and depict characters from the upper classes trying to find love, marry well, and avoid scandal. They're both romance novels and social commentary.
The Kulla-Gulla series is a children's/young adult series of books set around the late 19th/early 20th century in rural Sweden. They depict the misery and poverty that was prevalent in Sweden at that time, and also the injustices perpetuated by those with power, often unthinkingly. However, because they're meant for younger readers, they never get too grim and bleak - there is always a belief in the goodness of humanity and a sense of optimism that runs through the books.
Peer Gynt is a play by Henrik Ibsen from the mid-19th century. It starts with a depiction of rural Norway around that time (not so different from the rural Sweden of the Kulla-Gulla request), but from there the main character Peer goes off and has lots of adventures all over Europe and northern Africa, some natural, some with a supernatural, folklore, or allegorical element to them.
