Awwwwww

Hi there! By the way, this trio of fics breaks my heart in the most delicious way, then repairs it again. And I LOVE it. Thank you! xo

Sad, and sweet both! Thanks!

I confess that after reading the title I was prepared for a sad story and then... all this fluff!
off to the second part!

I like it. Why did you complete it.

Not only is this just C/H good; but clueless Molesley is in there too. Great job!

I love this. I love how she is trying to be brave but doesn't have to be for him. :)

"When you are ready, you come to me. I'll be waiting." I just died a little inside :)

Nice is not the word. Just lovely. Well crafted. Finely, finely tuned. And if you tell me it just fell to paper that easily I will cry.

*flail flail flail flail*

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH... I 3 you for this.

Oh how sweet and sad at the same time. Nooooo, Carson ... tell her your suitcase is already at the cottage waiting and you'll be home for your supper. I don't want him staying behind while she retires. sniff sniff. I hope you've got another drabble in mind where he races after her and sweeps her into his arms and they spend a happily ever after making up for lost time. wink wink

Lovely! If S4 could end like this, it would be more than sufficient. :)

You realize, that is probably exactly what it will take to get Charles Carson to actually retire and leave Downton Abbey. Perhaps Elsie should have considered this ten years ago? Very cute drabble and very in-character! Well Done!

So glad she'll be waiting for him.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely.

Her broken-down valise broke my heart.
