It's Always Sunny In Nicaea: a TL in which Osman's Beylik never quite takes off.

Since John V has come out on top what has happened to Alexios Apokaukos? As a reader of Soverihn's excellent Renovation TL I'm sure there will a more mercantile future for Rhomania provide Apokaukos has survived.

It is awesome to see John V do better. I have a soft spot for him. The Byzantines are in an utterly horrible place but at least their eastern and northern flanks are covered, and some stability should allow them to recover somewhat.
 
Nice update, and I'm glad to see this timeline is continuing. John V really got screwed in OTL so its nice to see him succeed in TTL. The lack of the Second Civil War and the Ottoman invasion of the Balkans should have massive repercussions both for the Byzantines and their neighbors which will be very interesting to watch.
