A story about FDR's term as Governor of NY. The TL talks about how FDR builds his term based on lies and corruption, works with the early mafia to gain more power and intimidate opponents and finally get impeached after a highly publicized trial in which FDR walked out of the room revealing he had been faking the whole polio thing. The TL was viciously mocked for being a very blatant attempt to trash FDR's character but for the longest time nobody could find out why. That was until the author posted in another thread revealing that he was a kinda-sorta white nationalist and American isolationist who blamed FDR for his grandpa's death in Europe during WWII. Eventually he called a user a dirty Jew and was banned but the TL lives on as a weird niche TL with an even weirder story behind it and spawned many memes like "Fuck it, I faked ______" and the now infamous "I only worked for the mafia cause theyze good guies".
A popular ASB timeline told from the perspective of 5 different people from the town of Aurora, Colorado which was isotted from 1937 to an earth devoid of humans. It describes their formation of the Republic of Aurora, the reclamation of much of Colorado and the surrounding states, and the Auroran Civil War. Some people have criticized the author for the tl being an America Wank after the final chapter which jumps to the present to depict the rechristening of the republic as the United States of America in 2017. By this point the entirety of the Americas have been conquered and the Aurorans have landed on the moon. These criticisms caused the author to take a year long hiatus from the website before writing “The British Ceasar”.

Hyenas Lie Low is a TL about an averted Second Congo War with the "hyenas" referring to the lack of foreign intervention in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This TL has a bittersweet tone as while the DRC is still dirt-poor, it is far more stable than it is IOTL and is merely "poor and dysfunctional" as opposed to a complete mess.
A TL where Italian anarchists, after a series of bomb plots are pinned on them (insinuated to actually be radical left and right terrorists) are forced deeper underground. The movement eventually regains a stronghold in Syracuse under a variety of local anarchists in the early 1900s. After the Great War leaves many Italians bitter more than a few become Anarchists including a journalist and former Socialist named Benito Mussolini. Mixing elements of Socialism and Anarchism along with dashes of nationalism Benito Mussolini forms the new Anarcho-Socialist Party (ANSOC). The Party however stays a local movement at best in Syracuse and Sicily. In 1920 however a Communist protest is suppressed by the military and Italy descends into chaos as open battles between left-wingers, right-wingers and the Army plague the nation. Taking advantage of the chaos ANSOC members storm government buildings around Syracuse and raise a new flag over the city, solid red with a black star in the middle. Mussolini goes on the radio and declares the Italian Free State into existence and pledges to liberate the rest of Italy. His few military adventures off the island end in dismal failures however costing thousands of lives and remaining a minor thorn in the side for the various factions battling for control of the Peninsula. Nevertheless Sicily becomes the worlds first Anarchist nation as the government prepares to slowly disband. The Italian Free State quickly finds allies in the Anarchist CNT-FAI (who had Sicilian help in taking over the Party) and the various Anarchist agitators in Italy proper keeping attention from the small island. By the time the TL ends in 1975 Sicily is seen as a lawless but over all orderly place to most people while even a cursory study would show rampant violence and corruption due to Mafia influence.
An half alternate Argentina have future Argentina TL where Argentina fails to recover after its military government becoming a failed state. Multiple UN interventions in the late 80s and early 90s fail to restore order and even an invasion by an adhoc alliance of Argentina's neighbors bogs down as bandits and warlords raid the invading armies and eventually force a retreat. However in the late 2020's the various factions are united under a mysterious Great Leader whose name is never said and his face is never shown flying a pure black flag with a red, faceless sun. Instead he speaks over radio only. He rapidly establishes a personality cult even more devoted to himself than the Kim Family in North Korea could ever hope to be. In 2029 Buenos Aires falls to his armies and the nation goes into total information blackout only exporting trace amounts of goods like metals. However soon stories pop up on the web of mass sacrifices in cities across Argentina, with numbers of executed said to be in the thousands. Yet according to stories the sacrificed never scream or cry or seem perturbed, instead they willingly offer themselves to be sacrificed. When the stories break the UN is riled into a frenzy and unanimously agrees to intervene in Argentina and depose the Great Leader. However, just days after the announcement the Falkland Islands go dark and when satellites go over the area they once were, they reveal nothing but smooth ocean. Then the rest of South America begins hearing scattered reports from their settlements on the Argentine border of massive creatures attacking before signals are lost. When the UN Peacekeeping Force finally sails for Buenos Aires, expecting spotty resistance at best, they are met 100 miles off the coast of Argentina by a massive beast that turns out to be Cthulhu himself who has been woken from his slumber by the now suicidal death cult that had taken over Argentina. The rest of the TL, its four sequels and numerous spin off stories detail the worlds desperate attempt to stave off total annihilation as more and more Lovecraftian entities appear on Earth to both help and hurt Humanities chances against Cthulhu and their ultimate demise. In the end they win, just barely by sealing Cthulhu away only to be destroyed by Azathoth himself in a climactic final chapter.
