"The idea in the text that Adam had a wife prior to Eve may have developed from an interpretation of the Book of Genesis and its dual creation accounts; while Genesis 2:22 describes God's creation of Eve from Adam's rib, an earlier passage, 1:27, already indicates that a woman had been made: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." The Alphabet text places Lilith's creation after God's words in Genesis 2:18 that "it is not good for man to be alone"; in this text God forms Lilith out of the clay from which he made Adam but she and Adam bicker. Lilith claims that since she and Adam were created in the same way they were equal and she refuses to submit to him".

"Another passage [in Treatise on the Left Emanation] charges Lilith as being a tempting serpent of Eve:

And the Serpent, the Woman of Harlotry, incited and seduced Eve through the husks of Light which in itself is holiness. And the Serpent seduced Holy Eve, and enough said for him who understands. [...] Behold, here it is before you: because of the sins of Adam the first man all the things mentioned came into being." -[Wiki]

figurative seduction/corruption of innocence, or literal biblical setting with the serpent welcome :)

"In the decades after the Napoleonic Wars, Notre-Dame fell into such a state of disrepair that Paris officials considered its demolition. Victor Hugo, who admired the cathedral, wrote the novel Notre-Dame de Paris (published in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) in 1831 to save Notre-Dame. The book was an enormous success, raising awareness of the cathedral's decaying state. The same year as Hugo's novel was published, however, anti-Legitimists plundered Notre-Dame's sacristy. In 1844 King Louis Philippe ordered that the church be restored." -[Wiki]

this one is dedicated to the fe3h fans, a very specific prompt about war leaving a famous church ransacked and in ruins to be restored years later by a ruler ;P (obviously anyone can interpret this as whatever they want tho, hehe)

"The Epic of Gilgamesh (/ˈɡɪlɡəmɛʃ/) is an epic from ancient Mesopotamia. The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about Gilgamesh (formerly read as Sumerian "Bilgames"), king of Uruk, some of which may date back to the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2100 BC). [...]

The first half of the story discusses Gilgamesh (who was king of Uruk) and Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods to stop Gilgamesh from oppressing the people of Uruk. [...] In the second half of the epic, distress over Enkidu's death causes Gilgamesh to undertake a long and perilous journey to discover the secret of eternal life. He eventually learns that "Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands"." -[Wiki]

Nineteenth century rival scientists

What if we kissed... And we were both famous opera stars 😳

Character in a historical setting interacting with a ghost from an even earlier time

(Fictional Universe: Fallen London) It's New Year's, 1899... again, as the Traitor Empress has decreed, while the cheer of the new year is somewhat diminished by the fact that it's never actually going to be 1900, there's still more than enough festivity for all sorts of fun to transpire.

Long-distance passenger travel in the Age of Sail

The Apollo-Soyuz mission, but make it yuri

TFA AU: A Cybertronian that's canonically born after the Great War instead is in the Great War (whether this is something like they onlined at an earlier time or it's time travel shenanigans is up to you!). Would love to see how the characterization subtly changes from growing up in a different timeframe!
