Must admit I wished for it to continue- both pre and post war.

I'm enjoying this AU. Look forward to what's still to come. :)

Awwww. Love it!

Probably won't comment on them all, but they're all so good! Especially liked this one. And others!

So so so lovely. I'm a sucker for angst.

This one is fabulous!

How true to real life is this? Very!

Sweet.

I was so happy to see more of this AU! I especially enjoyed the ending, with Charles being grumpy, Elsie scolding him, and the “curmudgeon” reference. Perfect!

It's great to see a continuation of
this Carson family fic. Now, they are very much tested by the trials of War. We can easily recognise their characters: Elsie, practical, in charge, close friends with Mrs Patmore; Charles, rather imperious, very capable , always in charge, and used to it.
But, we hear that things have changed. He's no longer in charge of anything. In fact he's severely injured, and will not be able to return to his chosen, life-long profession. Emotionally, he's falling apart, becoming a demanding, difficult patient , and calling for she who means the most to him. Elsie's arrival seems to provide balm to his troubled soul.
Very in character. Loveable as always. Terrific.

Beautiful ️

Thank you for continuing this Magnificent AU. I love it!

I love this AU...so happy he's going to be all right! Loved him shouting for "Nurse Hughes". Poor Elsie, so worried and trying to hold it together. Thanks for reviving this one!

I really do love this AU, and I especially like what you’ve done here with Charles’s hand and what it means for his career; it parallels the canon story very nicely. I’m glad that he WILL recover and he WILL have use of his hand, though, even if he can’t perform surgery. His operating days might be over, but that doesn’t mean his entire career is. Just like in canon, he can still help supervise and teach Mr. (Dr.) Barrow. He can instruct and consult and pass on his wisdom, even if he can’t wield a scalpel.

I also love Elsie’s practicality and strength here, laced through with vulnerability. Very nice balance.

Well done. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Beautiful writing and I really love the setting for this AU. Thank you and I can’t wait for more!
