* Summary: In the aftermath of WWI, life moves forward. ""Tha's in a righ' state, Dickon returns from war Sowerby," says a sharp, arrogant voice, in broad Yorkshire. "Is tha going t' look at me, or am I going t' have to drag thee out o' bed? And don't think I won't do it, either. I don't care how many ribs and recovers at home with Mary. Colin starts to carve out his own life, and Mary finds bones you've broken, or how nasty that inflected shrapnel wound is." Then, as an afterthought, the voice adds, "Good God, you'd think a home to call her own.
hospital this side of the channel would be a bit more sanitary. You'll lose that arm if something isn't done quickly, damn it.""

\n* Summary: "Mary leaned back against the door to the secret garden and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and savoured the smells of early spring, carried on the damp breeze that chilled her cheeks and made her wish she could pull off her shoes and stockings and run barefoot over the grass."




to:

* Summary: "There had been no question of Colin's health since his eleventh year when happiness and good exercise had set the crowning touches on their work of putting roses in his cheeks and some solid, boyish weight on his bones. By the time he was mostly grown and ready to be off to the grand school in Scotland, Colin himself sometimes forgot that there had ever been such a sickly, miserable creature as himself at ten years of age. Certainly none of his fellow students in Scotland would have guessed, to see the vivacious young man with whom they shared classes. But it was only among those who remembered that dying child and the Magic that had drawn him back to life that Colin was truly himself."

In the end, I'm afraid, this is only where the story begins, but I hope it opens up the original story and takes us out into the world beyond the secret gardens.

Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

Reviews of fics are encouraged, but if you choose to write one, please make it substantive, and give specific details about what you liked / disliked in the fic. If you want to give a fic a thumbs-up without writing a full review, you can add your troper handle to the Recommendations Line.
