Racial Memory of something that didn't happen, as such, seems fairly Cosmic. You can also claim it fills in the gaps in the fictional portrayal.

There are always plenty of those. The one time I've had an outright fictional character show up in a GURPS game, he realised for himself pretty fast that he was fictional because of the gaps. The PCs had got it immediately from the name, but hadn't pointed it out, being somewhat diplomatic.
