So many feels! My heart aches for them. Loving each other to help heal their hearts for what might have been if they’d gone another way. Thank you for writing. Definitely not a silly little thing. A very beautiful thing with so much love.

Oh my god I love this! They are a perfect pair!3

I'm not crying your crying this is freaking beautiful I so wish there was more of it

Love this story!

Don't run away! This was a really lovely story.

I've just found this gem of a story and it's incredible. Wonderful work x

you should be allowed to drink if this is the result. very lovely sweet sexy story. I especially liked the name of the 2nd son, Hugh, after his mother's maiden name, very clever and sweet.

Can I just say that this is one of my favourite 'dwell on the other route' fics I've ever read, and I wish you'd drink more often and tell us your thoughts of the current season. This was just totally precious and beautiful and so them that it fills my heart with joy and makes me sigh with feels.

Just wonderful.

I LOVE this story. I like hearing the echoes of Season 5 ! ...and Mrs. H's line about the poets. Wouldn't we all like to hear that dialogue about their unabridged love in their marital bed in Season 6?
Thanks!

Oh my goodness. What a beautiful, soaring, tragic, uplifting story. I loved it all, but the image of him telling her a bedtime story of one s the lives they might have shared...so lovely and so apt. Definitely unabridged.

I'm new to all this! Thank you so much for writing this; it's beautiful :)

This was beautiful.

I just found this and it is lovely and tragic and lovely. A favorite.

Oh my God, this is BEAUTIFUL! Do me a favor - keep writing in a post alcohol haze! I really loved this.

I love this!Absolutely wonderful!
