Maybe if some coastal culture settles an out of the way island that isn't rediscovered for a long time? Like Madeira, or the Azores? Or somewhere like St. Kilda, if you assume that there are enough pre-indo-european speakers to kill off or outcompete small groups of later arrivals.

It will never die, so long as the spirit of Boudica lives on in our hearts! Provided I don't get, like, eaten by a bear or something. Seriously, though, you just made my day. Glad to see someone excited about it.

Rome. May 22nd, 816. The room was stale and quiet as Britannicus crossed to the bedside. He took his sister’s hand, her grip weak from her illness, and her tear-red eyes fluttered open. “They told you, then.” “Yes, I know. I’m sorry.” “You need not be here; you have duties to perform.”...

I self-published a sci-fi short story! (I did the cover art, too). You can find it here! If you like it, let me know, or tell someone else!

Rome. April 22nd, 816 Britannicus pressed his palms to his temples. The headache was back, this time bringing friends. An emissary from Britain had arrived the night before, and he had agreed to hear the message in a few hours. According to a few of his slaves that he’d had cozy up to the man...

Consular dating is... somewhat less than helpful when trying to make sure people know the exact dates of things, or at least modern people. The a.u.c. dating is more a method of showing precise dates, while also giving a hint to how the future of the timeline uses dating, and avoiding using a...

Okay, so not exactly soon. Life gets in the way. Anyway... Rome. March 23rd, 816 Britannicus rested his head in his hands, staring at the documents before him; reports from all the provinces, requests from upper class across the Empire, messages from the remaining Roman allies in Britain...

Computer crash: solved. Depression: suppressed. Creativity: re-energized. Britannicus timeline: continuing.

...Accurate. But we're getting better. ...I think.

I live (despite finals)

The final line of the 1976 movie Choices (One of the many films to come out of Austria-Hungary's booming filmmaking industry in the mid-1930s, it was remade in English after its' rediscovery in the seventies), wherein two friends build a time machine and accidentally change a crucial point in...

Prydain, 816. The messenger had come near noon. Boudicca met him in her greathall, built of stone on the site of some high-ranking Roman’s house. According to the message he bore, some of the northern kings wished a meeting. She could not begrudge them that; though they had not been friends of...

You never realize how accustomed you get to your smartphone until it's stolen.

Twenty as of three days ago. Now I'm not a teenager. How am I supposed to get out of adulting?

Mesopotamia. 816. Despite his long study of tactics, Titus had never actually been in a battle before. It wasn't what he'd expected. Oh, he'd seen old war-wounds, heard stories. He'd even spent a year as a military tribune in Germania, but the province had been rather quiet at the time. Quiet...
