The timeline is written as a series of extracts from historical books, internet news pages, photos, and quotes. It begins with [[ForWantOfANail Governor Hutchinson of Massachusetts sending a letter to Benjamin Franklin...only the letter gets lost in the post]], with Franklin unable to alert the Sons of Liberty to the dangers of possible British reprisals. Franklin is, by not sending the letter's contents back to the Sons, still accepted by London high society and, in a series of riots, double-crossing, scares, and oneupmanship, America is kept British...just. There, the timeline diverges visibly within a few years of the POD, and enormously by the turn of the 18th century. The story started with its POD in 1770 and has progressed to (at the latest, given chapters are thematic) 1865. Sadly, the author stopped writing the story, making this a DeadFic. The whole thing could be read [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/newtest/threads/well-meet-again.101469/ here]] but the link no longer works.

* SoundtrackDissonance - Think about it. Listen to Vera Lynn's song, and you'll have the tone of the timeline. That is, if you think that the song isn't about hope at all, but loss.
