Can I just say how happy I am that you are now writing Agent Carter fanfiction? I've very much enjoyed your Sherlock & Avengers stuff, but I adore Agent Carter and your writing of both her and Jarvis is spot on. Loved the Emma reference (badly done indeed!) But I think my fav moment may be the very beginning:

"One of her fingers was bent entirely wrong. It wouldn't be any help to her like that, so she grabbed it and yanked it back into place."

That is so Carter: other people might be dwelling on the pain (me!) ignoring it completely (Sherlock) but she just rationally considers the problem and fixes it, no matter what the cost.

Please continue.

Thank you very much! I loved the show, so I hope to write more stories set closer to that era.

I just want to apologize if you had to deal with my coding error. The story shouldn't have been completely in italics, I closed a tag wrong. I'm sorry if that made it hard to read! I've fixed it now.

Thanks very much for the reading and taking the time to comment.

I love it! Dialogue between Peggy and Jarvis was the highlight of the show for me, and you've given me loads. Their voices are very much right. You have so many good details here that I can't begin to list them, or even to choose favorites.

I very much like that Peggy plays an active role in the rescue. She wouldn't be one to sit around, even if there are risks.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

Me too. Peggy and Jarvis are my new platonic friend OTP, and it's nice to have a female/male friendship without romance in it. The show gave us so much in the way of non-traditional tropes; I loved it. I hope Peggy and Jarvis remained friends forever and had tea together regularly.

I very much like that Peggy plays an active role in the rescue. She wouldn't be one to sit around, even if there are risks.

I had to keep putting in elements to prevent escape, because I wanted them to chat for longer. Peggy would have dug herself out much sooner, otherwise, I think. :-D

Thanks so much for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
