[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9035683/1/Queen-of-Shadows-A-Tale-Across-Ages Queen of Shadows: A Tale Across Ages]] is a ‘’WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures’’ fanfic, and a part of ''Fanfic/ProjectDarkJade''. Originally written by one of the project’s co-founders, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1157966/Nocturne-no-Kitsune Nocturne no Kitsune]] (though it was simply called Queen of Shadows at that point, hence the page name), and after Nocturne dropped out of sight, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1645311/Eduard-Kassel Eduard Kassel]], the other co-founder, adopted it and the “A Tale Across Ages” tag to the title.
This fic diverges from canon at the end of the Demon Portal arc, where Shendu’s plan to rewrite reality spiraled out of control, leading to Jade ending up in the body of a Shadowkhan Queen. Now, Jade has to keep her true identity secret from her “loyal forces” and find a way to get her old life back before her identity is discovered, or some other fate befalls her.

* BalefulPolymorph
AdaptationExpansion: Like a number of Dark Jade fics, the story fleshes out the personality of the Oni generals more.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.BalefulPolymorph: The shift caused by Shendu’s botched alteration of reality turned Jade into a Shadowkhan queen (she bemoans the fact that she’s become physically weaker due to this).
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Shendu wanted to reshape reality, but didn’t end up with control over the outcome.
* DeadFic: Nocturne dropped out of sight, leaving the fic unfinished before Eduard adopted it.
* DidYouJustScamCthulu: So far, Jade has managed to fool all the Shadowkhan into thinking that she’s the Queen, even the Queen’s personal bodyguard.
