Summary
All Darling wanted was to survive. When he wakes up in a military hospital in England after going over the top, he's left with the question of what exactly he survived for. Also with the question of how Blackadder got there and why he's such an annoying git.
A tale of second chances, insults, cowards, skiving, nurses, a fancy country house, war, paperwork, unexpected heroism and falling in love. And of England.

A beautifully written study of Lan at a very particular point in time. Moiraine is not physically present, but she is still present all the way through the story.

Bookmarker's Notes
An excellent case fic that really captures the feel of canon. The case has links to another case Nightingale worked on in 1919, very, very early in his career, and the depiction of how he was in his late teens compared to how he is now, really makes this story stand out.

Summary
Jim Hacker has received.a promotion. Bernard could have warned him to beware of Greeks bearing gifts, and that goes double for Prime Ministers bearing honours. But "Lord President of the Privy Council" does *sound* very nice.

Bookmarker's Notes
This story is brilliant and I love it. It is everything that anyone could ever want in a Yes Minister fic. The author has absolutely nailed Hacker, Sir Humphrey and Bernard, and the plot is administratively absurd enough to be an episode of the show. It is structured like the Yes Minister books, with excerpts from Hacker's diary and from official files, which also works really well. I laughed and laughed and laughed reading this - and there truly is no higher praise for a story based on a show that did likewise.
