The Paleys (1915-1921) - An Alternate Romanov Story by saraamarques

The Grand Ducal Coup has succeeded. In order to avoid revolution, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich, the Tsar's brother, takes the reigns of the Government in Petrograd and declares himself regent with the support of all senior Grand Dukes. With a heavy heart, he sends his brother, wife and daughters into exile to the Isle of Man and becomes his nephew's tutor until he comes of age. Russia becomes a Constitutional Monarchy and revolution is avoided. Meanwhile, the Tsar's uncle, Grand Duke Paul who settled in Russia in 1914, after spending several years living in exile in Paris because of his scandalous marriage to a divorced woman, is adjusting to his old life. His children, Vladimir, an accomplished poet, Irina, and Natalia will have to settle into a new world, far from everything they have always known. In the last times of the old regime, Vladimir falls in love with Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, but the coup, Rasputin's murder and their divided loyalties drift them apart. His sister Irina also finds love with Feodor, but he still sees her as a little girl. Natalia, the most extrovert and fiery of the siblings, makes an impression wherever she goes, leaving a trail of broken hearts in her wake. Together, they will have to navigate through life, love, friendship and heartbreak in a strange country with a new position, new people and new conventions.

Rasputina and the Witch's Tsar by FaeWhit

This is the Emperor. I think. Alexandr. Queen Victoria's grandson, the foreign British power. I feel his blood beat, thin, beneath his paper skin, in those blue veins. Something amiss. Something that's too weak in the Russian snow, the turned earth. His hand is cold against my cheek, thumb winding through my coiled hair. "How can I thank you for saving my son's life?" He runs a thumb against my lower lip, waiting. Not pressing, just hoping with bated breath. The walls are thin. The walls whisper. I pull away with a cold smile. I catch my eyes in his gaze, the forbidding ice of my home. Of what the snow made me. The wild, black hair of a vědma. "Haven't you heard? I'm the devil, Alexandr. You don't want to bed me unless you wish to lose your soul." *** A parallel universe where Rasputin was born as Matryona Grigorievna Rasputina. There was real magic. And the tsar most certainly fell under her spell. When she falls, so too will St. Petersburg. *** DARK FANTASY (UPDATES WEEKLY) COPYRIGHT 2018 BY SOPHIA WHITTEMORE. All Rights Reserved.

Tsar Czarina Alena Stepanov (Complete) by The_Mind_of_Cici

In a world in the middle of a global pandemic, the Russia/Ukraine tension has grown to a dangerous point. Russian citizens have had enough of President Vladimir Putin's terrifyingly chaotic time in office as he stations Russian troops on the Ukrainian border ready to invade. As the world receives word that Putin has ordered the invasion of Ukraine, they watch in awe as the Russian people and military removed him from office and dismantled the government. Within a week, Russia had voted to return to a monarchy, but the citizens also had a say. The one problem was that no one knew where the royal families had fled during the last revolution. With a name that means, "A born empress, Light; Crown," it was evident that Czarina Alena Stepanov's mother had high expectations of her daughter. Rina didn't know how high or even to what extent, not knowing anything about her family history on her mother's side. Not knowing much about her heritage, Rina watched her grandfather's home county turn upside down at the same time she and her boyfriend started looking to buy their first home.

Roots by Sarah-Laney

In the summer of 1918 a tragedy echoed across the world when the Russian Imperial Romanov family was murdered by communists leaving much of the country crying out in mourning. Yet, there was a myth that one daughter, the youngest daughter; the Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped.

One final class assignment could change everything that she's ever known, and could literally re-write history. To find out the truth about her family's history, it isn't long before she's digging through old papers, books, photographs, and even travelling to Russia; not to mention getting her heart tangled up with the enemy along the way. As Annalisa finds out more and more, she's quickly discovering that once the real truth is out, her entire life will be turned upside down, and life will become much more dangerous for her, and those around her. Secrets are revealed. Questions are answered. One thing is certain; Annalisa never thought that her senior year would end like this.
