Althistory Stories

On a storm-torn night in Castillonia, two daughters are claimed by one family-one born pale and failing, the other a Black infant rescued from the wreckage of a foreign ship. To save their lineage, the D'Arcennes hide the sickly newborn and raise the rescued child, Maelys, as heir. Twenty-two years later, Maelys stands beneath the chandeliers of Solenir's glittering court, chosen as a potential bride for Crown Prince Laurent de Castillon. Their attraction is immediate-intellect, wit, and defiant grace ignite a scandalous spark. But whispers hiss through silk: foreign, unsuitable, impossible. When Elara-the hidden trueborn-arrives in disguise, the court becomes a crucible of rumor and knives. A kidnapping, a great hearing, a kingdom's breath held between truth and ruin. With assassins in shadows and tradition wielded like a blade, Maelys must outplay courtiers who would rather see her vanish than rule. Love, loyalty, and identity wage war beneath painted ceilings. To claim her fate-and a future for her kingdom-Maelys must become more than the girl who was switched. She must become the queen who chooses. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.

The year is 1974, and Russia has fallen. For nearly 30 years, since the first German invasion, the Russian people have suffered. But through that suffering came renewal. From the fortress city of Komi, a man would scheme. He would scheme to create a new order out of the nation. A new regime wherein the Russian people would learn penance for their sins against god and their Romanov royal family, whom they had selfishly murdered. But he was mad. This order could not last. And it didn't. A wave of darkness spread across the Empire as cities were cut off from each other and attacked by mysterious forces. Most thought that was the end. Most were wrong. In this story, we follow Jason Gale, a British journalist, as he explores the wastes that remained after Taborinsky and his Holy Russian Empire fell. You will see him venture deeper and deeper as he meets people and ideas he'd rather not have. But when the clock stops ticking...well, lets just say our hero is in for a surprise. (THE FOLLOWING IS FANFICTION FROM THE NEW ORDER MOD FOR HEARTS OF IRON. I DO NOT, NOR CLAIM TO, HAVE THE RIGHT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF ASPECTS OF THIS UNIVERSE CREATED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE AUTHORS. THIS NOVELLA SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE LORE OF THE ORIGINAL PATH. I JUST ENJOYED THE POST MIDNIGHT LORE AND THOUGHT I SHOULD WRITE ABOUT IT.)

The year is 1940. France has unexpectedly for the whole world fallen under German invasion. Britain remains the last bastion of the free world in Third Reich-occupied Europe from the Atlantic to... Empty Poland? As a result of a strange event, dubbed the Uprooting. The Second Republic of Poland was saved from the horrors of a double German-Soviet invasion. Her place was taken by an empty virgin copy of herself and she herself was taken to North America. Thus, in the Darkest Hour, Britain and her Colonies could count on her last ally in the fight against Nazi tyranny. But... can a rescued Poland make a difference?

1985: The Cold War, East vs West, the US and USSR stare each other down, 40 years after beating the Axis powers in the most devastating war in human history. To complicate things even more, a nation that has bordered the US in some way since 1865 has been growing closer to her ideological rival; The Republic of Dixie. Having been an associate member of the Axis powers like Finland, the former Confederate States of America was partitioned in two after losing the war in 1945, with the Mississippi River becoming a DMZ run by the Yankees. The Republic of Greater Texas was made in the western part, while the Southeastern portion adopted the colloquial name of the region officially. No Marshall funding to be had, the new Council of Government reached out a hand to Moscow and Stalin was more than happy to oblige. Never cottoning onto full Marxism, the RoD occupied a space in the Non-aligned Nations group, but there were leaders that wanted to grow closer the USSR. This story is about a Georgia State Militia unit comprised of ladies who for various reasons have volunteered in a time of high tensions between their nation and its neighbor while also undergoing a transition politically.

But after anchoring at the city state of Saint Guntram, things take a turn for the worse. (The first short story in a series I have dubbed Collapsing Empire.

What if Germany won World War 1? And what if World War 2 was just around the corner? The year is 1937, and the world is once again lurching towards a global conflict. Only this one isn't like the World War II we all learned about in history class. In this alternate history, Germany won the Great War (or Weltkrieg, in German), the United States of America never got involved in WW1, and all the Entente powers - including France, Britain, and Russia - collapsed into civil war and political revolution. For Karl Schreiber, a young university student in Germany, all that just seems like history, and one that doesn't directly impact him. But when he receives a call from his father asking him to return home, his personal life collides with the global forces set in motion by that history. A home town he barely recognizes, a family teetering on the brink of collapse, and the looming threat of his own mortality all swirl about as he finally realizes that his world is a world headed towards war. Based on the popular "Kaiserreich" mod for the Hearts of Iron 4 PC game, this first in a series of short stories are part fanfiction (based on the amazing work of the Kaiserreich developers) and part standalone alternate history fiction. Probably more enjoyable if you're a fan of the game/mod (or a giant history nerd) but hopefully accessible to all! This story begins our tour of the globe on February 3, 1937 - one fateful year after the global financial catastrophe that sent the world reeling and the gears of war into motion.

In an alternate timeline where the Kingdom of Jerusalem dominates the middle east, two young men on opposite sides of the inevitable conflict discover themselves and question their beliefs and life as they know them.

This takes place in the late 2010s in the USA. There is swearing and mentions of alcohol, self harm, sex, and drug use. This is not meant to be historically accurate so please don't come at me.
