Shan Yu's Victory by lightbird (AU)

  • Recommended by Pickled Plums
  • Pairing(s): Shang/Mulan, Shan Yu/Mulan
  • Synopsis: This is an Alternate Universe where Mulan failed to notice the Huns escape from the avalanche, and Shan Yu successfully killed the Emperor and conquered China. Mulan infiltrates the palace by pretending to be one of the concubines, only to catch the interest of Shan Yu who senses something familiar about her...
  • Comments: The story is dark but avoids complete pathos by making its protagonists and its villains intelligent and chillingly in-character. Shan Yu is also treated quite well and is given dimensions as a compelling conqueror and a love interest. While the main story is something of a love triangle between Mulan, Shang, and Shan Yu, the supporting characters are given their due and play essential parts to the story.
