yuletide | 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): Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame: Wu Zetian & Di Renjie
Request details: Tang China, cheerfully anachronistic in style but with a nice sensitivity to the significance of Wu's historical strategies. I would love more of the same, or a more strictly historical take on the Tang, or a transposition of the characters to another era of imperial China, or any other inventive use of history.

This is just one short and fun movie, with three great leading actors, so it's easy canon consumption.
