Ok, one for good start.
Fandom: No (or so I think)
Pairing: Richard the Lionheart/Saladin (or Salah al-Din Yusuf, Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi)
A love doomed in Heaven. Two great leaders brought together by the Holy War, torn apart by their shared goal: the holy city of Jerusalem. Can they find their moments of peace?
I know. It sounds like a summary of a very tacky harlequin story. The whole point of it is to make this story NOT so.
I’ve watched a TV program on history yesterday. It was about The Crusades. It was one of those programs that are just really accurate movies. It struck me how very close those two were, how deep were their care and respect for each other. My head instantly filed with images of those two powerful personalities drawn together, as if controlled by invisible force, yet unable to so much as touch. Very suggestive.
Also a story like this has the added bonus of the oriental scenography and the complicated background (political, religious, cultural differences). I hadn’t the time for proper research but there are a few tidbits of information about their relations on Wikipedia (just type their names in).
I have a few other on my mind. They are mostly Harry Potter, since that's where I'm most active lately. I'll compile one post of them and have it put up in a few days.
