Written by @/{{AnalyticalEngine}} and hosted on Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom Her Diamond Heart is [[PragmaticAdaptation loosely based]] on Literature/ThePeshawarLancers by Creator/SMStirling (and completely unauthorised by said author).
Though it shares the book's point of divergence - a meteor shower bombarding the Northern Hemisphere in 1878 - the differences between the two start building up almost immediately. One particular difference is the survival of the United States of America and certain parts of Europe.

!!Historical characters who appear or are referenced in the timeline:
* Benjamin Disraeli
* Edward VII
* Queen Victoria
* Theodore Roosevelt
And a host of others

!!Provides examples of:
%%* AdaptationExpansion
%%* AfterTheEnd
%%* AlternateHistory
%%* ApocalypseHow: A definite Class 1
%%* BalkaniseMe: The Ottoman Empire, China (for a while), Russia, and (naturally) the Balkans themselves
%%* ColonyDrop: The Fall
* {{Eagleland}}: Unlike the book, the United States is very much alive.
%%* ExternalRetcon: Quite a few major differences between the book and this timeline.
%%* HumansAreBastards: Hey, whoever said a post-Apocalyptic scenario would be ''nice''?
* InferredHolocaust: There are several references to "ethnic liquidation", though this timeline has no separate term for ethnic cleansing and genocide- make of that what you will...
* PragmaticAdaptation: The author's main intention was plausibility rather than storytelling.
* RightfulKingReturns: In China, though it actually requires a change of dynasty.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Absolute monarchy is rather common in this timeline.
* SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic: Compared to its source material, this timeline is far closer to the realistic end of the scale.
* TakeThat: A recent post contains a not-so-subtle refutation of the obligatory cannibal cultures of the book.
* UnreliableNarrator: Many of the references "quoted" in the timeline are somewhat biased one way or another.
%%* WarriorPrince: Ali ibn Hussein
* WellIntentionedExtremist: There are quite a few of these scattered around. YMMV on just how [[MoralEventHorizon well-intentioned]] they were, though.
