Alternate-history Stories

"Two minutes before the future King of England was born, the universe shifted." June 21, 1982. The world celebrates the birth of the royal twins, but behind the heavy doors of Buckingham Palace, history rewritten itself. Born just moments ahead of her brother William, Princess Celeste Alice Victoria Diana becomes the firstborn daughter to stand directly in line for the British throne, breaking centuries of male-preference tradition. Growing up under the adoring yet protective gaze of her mother, Princess Diana, Celeste is raised to be a new kind of royal. But when sudden tragedy strikes the heart of the family, the fifteen-year-old princess must find her footing under the strict oversight of the institution, balancing the crushing weight of her destiny with the simple desire to protect her brothers. From a sheltered childhood in Kensington Palace to the quiet corners of university life in Scotland, Celeste learns to navigate public duty, private heartbreak, and the constant shadow of the paparazzi. And just when the crown feels heaviest, a chance encounter with a quiet, self-made British-Scottish businessman offers her the one thing she never thought she could have: a safe harbor. As family rifts threaten to pull the House of Windsor apart and a changing world demands a modern monarchy, Celeste must transition from the beloved princess the world watched grow up, into the resilient leader her nation needs. An epic multi-generational saga of duty, enduring love, and the quiet strength of a woman born to rule.

The St. James family survives on beauty, privilege, and scandal. This season, blood runs closer to the heart. Clara Ellery has always known how to play the game-smile when expected, charm when useful, and never let society think it understands her too well. Then there is Bolton St. James. A man who does not merely enter a room-he takes it. Dangerously magnetic, infuriatingly self-assured, and exactly the sort of man Clara should avoid. Naturally, she flirts with him instead. But attraction is the easiest part of scandal. Because old wounds do not stay buried. Some women are not easily forgotten. And in Valerique, love is rarely just love. It is leverage. Temptation. War. And some hearts are destined to break in scarlet.

In this story, we journey into the depths of the "Void Century," where time shatters and shadows consume the truth. ⏳🌑 If you are drawn to dark fantasy stories, epic novels, and historical narratives, this is your sanctuary.

Enter a disenchanted future of London-- escape to the enchanted past. Wren and historian Ali find a spell that takes them to the Victorian Era, which is better and worse than their expectations. They'll encounter magical orders, secret societies, and royal families. In a quest to rediscover magic in the past to somehow save their dystopian future their journey continues as love, loss, and magic systems open themselves to them. Magics explored: Hermetic Pentagram Magic, Astrology, Onmyōdō, Mesmerism, Cabala, Planetary Pentacles, Cunning work and much more! While certain liberties (the imaging of magic, the conclusions about the Death of King George III) are invented or exaggerated, but I've based about as much of this as I can on real historical facts! (Ali would be proud.)

Some bonds are stronger than time. When Gabriel is pulled from the future into 1862, he believes survival is the hardest part. He's wrong. The real danger lies in the people he meets, the connections he makes. How time repeats, fractured memories of a future that hasn't happened yet, as he meets two brothers, divided by war, bound by blood, and unknowingly tied to his own existence. As battles rage and history begins to shift, Gabriel becomes something impossible: a man claimed by time itself. The past remembers him. The future fractures because of him. Timebound is a story about family, identity, and the terrible weight of choosing who lives, who dies, and who history remembers.

A humorous original tale of love, courage, diplomacy, politics, space travel, self-discovery, the human condition, and urban guerrilla warfare. This is the story of a young girl's quest to understand the world in which she lives, and to change it for the better, by any means necessary. It is also the story of a family trying to mend broken relationships, planets on the brink of war, and a corporation's efforts to undermine and manipulate governments throughout the galaxy, and beyond.

In the blood-soaked theater of King Henry VIII's court, survival is a performance. Queens before her used beauty, brilliant wit, and fierce ambition-and they all ended up on the scaffold. Lady Eleanor of the minor Duchy of Darthmol has none of those things. At twenty-three, she is the invisible seventh daughter, quiet, uneducated in the games of statecraft, and entirely unbothered by the flashing gold of Whitehall. But she possesses a weapon far more dangerous to a paranoid King: an absolute mastery of silence. While the court vipers plot foreign wars and religious reform, Eleanor simply walks half a step behind her husband in soft velvet slippers, refusing to play the game. She doesn't want his crown, she doesn't want his power-she only wants his comfort. And that is exactly why the terrifying tyrant of England is about to lay his entire kingdom at her feet.

Julian Cross has spent his life teaching that history is never truly dead. Then a letter from Korea proves it. After inheriting the mysterious Han Pavilion Estate, Julian is pulled into a family curse his mother spent her life running from. Records change. Photographs move. A red thread appears where it should not exist. And somewhere beyond the locked doors of the pavilion, a man from the past keeps calling Julian by a name he barely remembers. Han Jiwon. When Julian slips into an alternate past, he meets Baek Tae-oh, a dangerous and feared gangster leader whose life is tied to the curse in ways neither of them understand. Tae-oh is ruthless, guarded, and impossible to trust. But he is also the one person who keeps saving Julian when the red thread tries to claim him. As Julian uncovers the truth behind his family's erased history, the curse begins to tighten. The past bleeds into the present. The dead refuse to stay silent. And every step closer to Tae-oh makes the Red Thread more dangerous. Because this is not a love story fate wants to bless. It is one fate wants to use. To break the curse, Julian must uncover what his family buried, face the door that has been feeding on grief for generations, and decide whether love is worth crossing time for. But the Red Thread does not give without taking. And if Julian chooses Tae-oh, both the past and future may change forever. A dark, emotional, Korean-drama-inspired BL time-slip fantasy romance about family secrets, cursed fate, dangerous love, and the choice to rewrite what was never meant to be survived. Author's Note A Step in Time is a slow-burn BL fantasy romance with time-slip mystery. The historical setting is an alternate timeline inspired by Korean drama and fantasy. It is not meant to be strict real-world history. AI-Assisted Disclosure: This story was written with AI assistance. The original concept, characters, plot direction, revisions, and final creative choices belong to me.

In a world divided by a silent technological Cold War, Vienna dances beneath the hypnotic glow of Tesla coils, while New York pulses with Edison's restless ambition. Elisabeth von Coilova - a brilliant Habsburg noblewoman hiding a deeply romantic soul behind perfect elegance - has spent her life surrounded by power, expectation, and carefully guarded secrets.

Forced to collaborate on a classified transmitter project, their worlds collide. What begins as rivalry and cultural friction slowly turns into stolen glances, midnight frequencies, and a connection neither empire can permit. But in an age where science is power, universities are battlefields, and every signal is being watched, their forbidden transmission may become the most beautiful - and dangerous - frequency in the world. A retro-futuristic Cold War romance about music, distance, and two hearts searching for each other through the static.

As the two begin to bond and explore Khochu's unique gift of animal whispering, Khochu learns he is the key to everything: a door that forces the rival tribes together across the icy steppes. As they search for a new life, Khochu and his animal friends must use their gifts to protect the tribes from predators.

An alternate timeline where the US prospers early on and develops into a formidable, yet decentralized country.

Ten years ago, the New York royal family, the Schuylers, were assassinated in their Albany palace during a rebel uprising. All were confirmed to be dead, and the rebels who took over have been working their hardest to squash any rumors to the contrary. Despite these facts, a rumor has been circulating for years that the middle daughter, Princess Elizabeth Schuyler, may have somehow survived. Given hope by these rumors, her aunt, the Dowager Countess Gertrude Schuyler, has offered a reward of ten million dollars for her niece's safe return to her in Philadelphia. Back in the newly renamed Georgetown, Alexander Hamilton, John Laurens, and Aaron Burr are three conmen struggling to make ends meat now that society has been restructured. Ten million dollars would set them for life, and so they hatch a daring plan to find a girl who can pass for Elizabeth. Elsewhere, a girl called Beth, who was found lying in the snow ten years ago with no memories of her past, sets out to chase her mysterious dreams. A music box, dancing figures, and a woman telling her to "meet me in Philadelphia" all lurk just out of reach, and Beth is determined to find out what they mean. --- -This AU is based on the musical, not the movie -Neither Hamilton nor Anastasia belong to me and I am not claiming that they do -This story does belong to me.

On April 24, 2004, an impossible archway opened on the South Lawn of the White House. What followed wasn't a clean invasion or a neat first contact; it was chaos, confusion, and a brutal fight for survival as soldiers faced enemies that shouldn't exist and weapons that didn't obey familiar rules. Staff Sergeant Michael Alvarez, a D.C. National Guard MP, survives Day Zero by performing his trained duty: maintaining the line. But when the smoke clears, the gate doesn't close, and the world doesn't get answers. As the U.S. government locks down the truth and builds a permanent foothold around the anomaly, something becomes clear: the Gate is not a temporary crisis. It's a new geographic fact of reality, linking Earth to a ruined capital in another world that fears the Gate as much as humanity does. No heroes. No prophecy. No effortless victories. The White House Event is a grounded, military-focused first-contact story about uncertainty, institutional pressure, and what happens when humanity realizes that the unknown and themselves are permanent. Chapters are released weekly at 12:00 p.m. CST Occasionally, updates will be made to the previous chapters.
