Okay, since the anonymouos period is over I can confess I did start to sweat, Mildred
Lol, sorry, this is what I get for cobbling Frankensteinian comments together out of notes written in real time!
As to whether Maximian will stay retired in this AU the second time around, I have no idea, but I'd say the odds are better if he's living with Diocletian than if he's not.
<3 I am happy to imagine the modern AU going better and them being more shippy!
Also, for those of you who may not have seen Selena's reply to my AO3 comment:
Diocletian, reality check: NO ONE is that impressed with your cabbages!
Well, Gibbon was. :) It's a good line for posterity.
Quoted for truth! (I snorted.)
ETA: Re Heinrich, fair! (Though at least there we know *exactly* what he was missing, because under FW2 he had less of what he wanted more of under Fritz: meaningful work.)
