my historical OTPs: töregene khatun/fatima;
"fatima (died 1246), was a senior office holder in the mongol empire of the thirteenth century and originally a captive shiite muslim who was deported from the shiite shrine of meshed to mongolia. she became the favourite of empress töregene khatun.
after the death of ögedei khan ... in the spring of 1242, töregene khatun assumed complete power as regent ... her most important cabinet member was fatima.
in 1246, töregene's son güyük khan came to power ... güyük's brother koden accused fatima of using witchcraft ... [and] when koden died ... güyük insisted that his mother hand fatima over for execution. töregene refused [to hand fatima over] and threatened her son güyük that she would commit suicide.
despite this, güyük's men seized fatima, tortured her, and executed her ... töregene's supporters in the imperial household were simultaneously purged. within 18 months of fatima's death, töregene herself died under still unexplained circumstances."
