Derekklena Stories

Based upon the history and mystery behind the lost Romanov princess, this novelization takes aspects from the history and the story you've come to know and creates a wide and sweeping romance following orphan Anya on a journey to her past to discover who she truly is and who she wants to be. *Based on the Anastasia films (1956, 1997), and the Broadway musical

"There once was a time where Russia was beautiful. Where it glittered with crown jewels and dazzling parties full of my family and friends. Before people turned ugly and damned themselves for what they did to my son and his children. Now it is nothing: an empty husk of a December night's dream." "You're very poetic, Your Majesty, but I still must ask. Why are we here?" "Because I believe that somewhere out there, my granddaughter is alive." It was safe to say that Dmitri hated St Petersburg- now Leningrad- with a burning passion. His whole life had been spent crammed inside the once-royal city amongst the lowest of the lows and he was ready to escape. All he wanted was a big- no, a comfortable home with a large garden, surrounded by hot food and a warm bath. It seemed almost impossible. Almost. When a rumour starts seeping through the cracks and back alleys of Petersburg, Dmitri and an ex-count team up with an unusual, amnesiac girl to snatch a wealthy reward and get out of Russia for good. Of course, absolutely nothing goes to plan. A collection of the 1997 animated film 'Anastasia' and 2017 Broadway production of the movie, plus some of my own things to make it historically accurate :) All credit to the original creators.

I feel like it's self explanatory

Welp...here we go I guess.... Every other chapter I will analyze the translation I guess

Dancing bears, painted wings, things I almost remember and a song someone sings, once upon a December. It's 1906 in St.Petersburg, the world is alive and the Grand Duchess is only 5, a shared look between her grandmother, a knowing smile, a cry of longing and a music box, their little secret. She's leaving for Paris without Anastasia. It's 1917, Anastasia is 16, adored by everyone, the youngest of the Tsar's daughters and she is the picture of beauty. That is until the Bolsheviks attack the palace and the royals are taken to Ipatiev house in Yekaterinburg. They are never seen again. It's 1918, the Romanov family are woken during the night and told to dress, they are being moved to a safer location. They walk down to the cellar of the Ipatiev house, awaiting the arrival of their transport. It never came. They were executed right there in the cellar, no Romanov was left alive. It's 1927, and there's a rumour in St. Petersburg. Although the Tsar did not survive, one daughter may be still alive, the Princess Anastasia, but please do not repeat. This is the companion novel to the 2017 Broadway musical, giving insights to the story, and telling a much darker, historical twist to the enchanting tale. This may include references and implications to the 1997 original movie

Christy Altomare and Derek Klena had AMAZING chemistry, and Anya and Dmitry clearly are the cutest couple, so here are some imagines for them in and out of the show. COVER ART| @earlofgreytea|know as me ON HOLD | 2019

A prequel fanfiction of the musical Anastasia but make it historically accurate

To do that, Anya must impersonate the lost Princess Anastasia. But what she didn't know was that a long time pursuer is tailing her to kill Anastasia. --- This is kinda not(?) a fanfiction, but a retelling of a mashup of Disney and Broadway's Anastasia. In playwriting format. --- This is me trying to incorporate all the best scenes (imo) from both the Disney and Broadway stories of Anastasia. eg. Crowd of Thousands, In My Dreams, the love triangle from the BW musical and the magical villian, better plotline, and better ending. Im not sure whether people would actually read playwriting, but since this is the first time ive ever finished something, i might as well post it lol Well, I hope my audience would enjoy my work nonetheless, no matter how nerdy it is.... --------------------- Sources i have used to produce this: Disney's Anastasia: the movie (1997) ofc the movie's script -- https://imsdb.com/Movie%20Scripts/Anastasia%20Script.html Broadway's Anastasia a convenient slime tutorial of the thing on YouTube the playwriting transcribed by Erin Flanagan-- https://www.scribd.com/document/403641219/Anastasia-The-New-Broadway-Musical-LIBRETTO
