Notes:

Hello Sidlotte Readers! Hope the last few months have been good to you! My summer was unexpectedly busy, including being caregiver for my mother after she had some outpatient surgery. She's one of a few inspirations for this set of drabbles, all of whom are recovering well. ❤️

My thanks, as always, to Jane and the other Sidlotte writers who are keeping JA's final couple alive and thriving (no doubt to the dismay of certain naysayers)!! Looking forward to (writing) many new Sidlotte stories in the months to come!! ~ Moxie

Chapter Text

“Sidney?”

Charlotte sounded verrry far away.

“Sidney? Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.”

Hmm… why isn’t my hand working?

“I think he’s coming round,” an unfamiliar voice said. “It’s slow going; give him time.”

“Sidney, can you open your eyes?”

Uh… nope.

“Try to open your eyes for me,” she began stroking his cheek.

Mmm… that feels nice. Oh, right, open… my… eyes....

“Almost there,” Charlotte encouraged.

“Too bright,” Sidney squinted against the harsh lighting and promptly re-shut his eyes.

“Okay, you rest,” he could feel her kiss his forehead before everything went silent.
