* In the Literature/{{Discworld}} of Creator/AAPessimal, there is no doubt about it for people who can join the dots: (Olga) Anastacia Romanoff is alive and well and lives in Ankh-Morpork. She is in direct line of descent to the last acknowledged Tsar of [[UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} Rodinia]], a state which crumbled into lots of smaller regions and nations amidst much acrimony. Catching magic at the age of twelve and covertly educated as a Witch by the local Literature/BabaYaga, she ran away to Lancre to pursue a different destiny, much to her noble father's anger. Today, she is in her thirties and [[Fanfic/ThePriceOfFlight commands the Ankh-Morpork City Air Watch]]. This is all she ever wanted to do and all the Empire she needs. Anyone wanting her to become Little Mother to a New Rodinia will get very short shrift and she prefers to go her own way and make her own destiny.

* ''Literature/TheDeathOfRussia'':
** Referenced in what became of the town of Shaitanka, which during the collapse of Siberia into anarchy during the Second Russian Civil War turned into a microstate called the "Kingdom of Russia" led by an old woman who claimed to be Anastasia, despite not being nearly old enough, and had somehow convinced the starving town to go along with the delusion.
** On another note, with what has become of Russia by the end of the war, there is little if any hope for the remains of Nicolas II and his family to be found like they were in our world, likely giving this trope more of a shelf life.
* Suzanne Weyn's young adult novel ''The Diamond Secret'' from the ''Once Upon a Time'' collection (a series of YA retellings of popular fairy tales and legends, no relation to [[Series/OnceUponATime the TV series]]) retells the standard Marcelle Maurette-inspired plotline of two conmen trying to pass off an amnesiac girl as Anastasia, only to find that she just might be a GenuineImposter.



* In the ''Heirs of Anton'' romance series, the heroines of the first three books turn out in the fourth book to be descended from the titular Anton and [[spoiler:Grand Duchess Olga, who changed places with her maid]].

* Anastasia is a playable party member in ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'', which takes place in a ''very'' fictionalized alternate UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne. After the main cast defeat the demon-possessed Rasputin, Anastasia joins them to help protect Russia and the rest of the world. The mystery isn't directly referenced, but in the good ending [[spoiler:playable characters are scattered to different parts of the timeline, unable to return back to their time, meaning that from the perspective of her contemporaries Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov disappeared mysteriously, and would be unaccounted for in whatever happens to the rest of her family. An ending still shows her alongside Kurando, alive and happy, but in an unspecified location and time period]].
