Slan Libh

by Michael F. Flynn
When Kevin O Malley’s home-built time machine becomes operable, he uses it to research his Irish ancestors during the potato blight of 1845.
The past is changeable but self-correcting. Easy to change small things; harder to change big ones.
“Slan Libh” by Michael F. Flynn, in Analog, November 1984.

The Forest of Time

by Michael F. Flynn
“The Forest of Time” by Michael F. Flynn, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, June 1987.

Built upon the Sands of Time

by Michael F. Flynn
Physics professor Owen fitzHugh tells a story in a pub about how a small quantum fluctuation in the past can cause big consequences down the line—and how he may have sent a chronon into the past to do just that.
I’m not sure. A device to excite time quanta, I think. Into the past, of course.
“Built upon the Sands of Time” by Michael F. Flynn, in Analog, July/August 2000.

3rd Corinthians

by Michael F. Flynn
This is the second Michael F. Flynn time-travel story that I’ve read set in O Daugherty’s Irish pub. This time, amidst philosophical discussion, Father McGinnity tells of a third letter from Paul to the Corinthians that simply couldn’t be genuine.
Oh, the Bible is true, only it may not always be factual.
“3rd Corinthians” by Michael F. Flynn, in Analog, June 2003.

Nexus

by Michael F. Flynn
The lives of Siddhar Nagkmur (a regretful alien time traveler) and Stacey Papandreon (a tired immortal) converge for the second time since 522 AD; throw in some more aliens and a desperate need to repair the timeline to complete the story.
Nagkmur finds a chronology on the Internet and searches out a year halfway between the present and their encounter in sixth century Constantinople. The quickest way to identify when things went awry, he tells her, is to work by halves. If AD 1300 is undisturbed, the change came later; otherwise, earlier.
“Nexus” by Michael F. Flynn, in Analog, March/April 2017.
