This may be too much to suggest at this time along with the attempt to establish a historical connection and the idea may be too limited or unappealing. How many out there like stories based upon classic literature (novels, short stories, plays, poetry)? I used to really enjoy reading adult books such as "The Erotic Adventures of the Three Musketeers" or "The Erotic Adventures of Ulysses". If you enjoy this type of story, maybe you can suggest titles that might make the basis for exciting stories telling the explicit details that the original authors "left out"...but which we know they (and their readers) were thinking!
