Summary
On a bitter February night in 1943, the discovery of an abandoned baby on the doorstep of Skeldale House turns Carmody’s quiet, predictable life upside down. With wartime services stretched beyond breaking and nowhere else for the infant to go, Carmody finds himself thrust into the role of caretaker - a responsibility that terrifies him but one that he cannot abandon.
As Tristan arrives on leave from his military duties, haunted by memories of Egypt, their growing closeness blossoms into something beautiful that Carmody could never have expected.
But as the war threatens separation yet again, Carmody must also face the painful truth of the infant's past and the desperate young mother who left her.
“Some families were born, others were made, and the best ones grew from the simple decision to love without reservation or condition.”

Summary
This is my attempt to provide a glimpse of the 'lost episodes' between Series 5 and 6. It makes sense for the show to skip over these years, but ... here's my dystopian view of how it might have gone in an alternative universe.
Some of the history is accurate, taken from authoritative sources, other parts are entirely fictional.
This is angst as I follow the fates of major ACGAS characters, but there will be a slow burn for AxS and a happy ending (I hope).
