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): Lovecraft Country (TV), Ruby Baptiste
Request details: Lovecraft Country is a horror/fantasy/science fiction drama set in the United States of the 1950s. Ruby, a singer, is a major supporting character who is drawn into the magical plot over the course of the show.
I like the way the period setting interacts with the sff aspects, both with them baked into the historical horrors and with things like Hippolyta's trip to different lives. How about a scenario in which there is contact with an alternate history of the world, with Ruby meeting another self--or not meeting herself because that world is one she couldn't exist in.
On an aesthetic level, I enjoy seeing the women's fashion, the cars, and the music of the time as depicted in the show, so emphasis on that would be lovely as well.
