;_; noooooooooooooooooooooo *cries*
tell me there's a sequel!!! a sequel where he found his breath again, just to tell her he'll be that husband! ç_ç *sobs uncontrollably hugging teddy bear carson*

*hands over a box of tissue* Sorry!

I don't know if there will be a sequel, I make no promises. The muse has required a surprising amount of prodding when it comes to Downton Abbey. And in fairness, I should say that this originally came from musing about the possibility of making Elsie/Joe work, so should a sequel present itself it might not go in the direction you are hoping for.

Oh no you di'nt!!!! There better be a huggy and kissy sequel to this that in no way involves Joe! Come on now, we're waiting!!!!! I need a drink.

Umm, there might be hugs? As I mentioned to akachankami above, I'm not sure if this will have a sequel. Or that it will be a Carson/Hughes themed sequel. Although Carson is pushing the friendship-love line more than I thought he would. No promises though.

Oh no. My poor Charles!!!

edit: It was bittersweetly good.

It's given him a bit of a shock, that's for sure. (I like your choice of icon, by the way).

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Aaaah! I echo previous commenters in their desire to see Carson speak up!

Lovely little drabble.

northeto March 20 2012, 02:43:16 UTC

Well, I'll throw the idea to the muse and see if anything happens.

Thank you, glad you liked it despite my treatment of poor Carson.
