Fan Fiction

76 original stories set in the worlds of Alexandre Dumas's novels — the untold moments, the characters who got a paragraph and deserved a chapter, the years between the chapters we do have.

This is fan fiction. Every story on this page and the pages linked from it is an original work written for this site (with AI assistance, as described on the About page), not by Alexandre Dumas. These stories are unofficial, non-canonical, and clearly identified as fan fiction on every page. They are creative extrapolations set in the public-domain world of Dumas's novels — imagining what a minor character's life might have looked like off the page, or filling a gap the novels themselves leave open — not reproductions or continuations of Dumas's own text. For the novels themselves, see Works.

Each story is tagged with the novel it's set in and the character or characters it follows. Shorter pieces run a single page; longer ones are split into chapters, exactly like the novels themselves. Browse by collection below, or jump straight to a specific book's stories from the Works page, where each novel's overview links back to its own fan fiction.

A Note on Why We're Doing This

Dumas built enormous casts. A soldier delivers one line and vanishes; a servant is mentioned twice and never again; a minor court figure gets a single devastating scene and then the narrative moves on. These stories exist to spend a little more time with those characters — and, sometimes, with the major ones, in the years and rooms the novels themselves skip past. None of it is meant to compete with or replace Dumas's own writing. Think of it as the kind of thing readers have always done in the margins of books they loved, now written down.
