Title: Moving Past Regret
Author: Me
Pairing: Charles/Margaret
Rating: E (Corporal)
Disclaimer: Nope, don’t own anything. Don’t sue … no money.
Archive: Anywhere, just let me know.
Feedback: Would be appreciated - good or bad.
Spoilers: Minor ones for The Party and Goodbye, Farewell and Amen … they won’t ruin the episode for you.
Summary: None.

A/N: Post-war fic. It’s sort of an answer to the challenge I posted way back when in which authors were supposed to use the phrase “I still wish I knew what it felt like to kiss you.” And I know that some will argue that they *did* kiss in “Say No More”, but I’ve seen that kiss, and wouldn’t actually consider it a “kiss” kiss … and damn! Now I’m talking like Frank Burns!

This is dedicated to captain_lubey … she of the good ‘ship Charles/Margaret hope it’s okay and siggen who really wanted an angsty!Charles fic. This may not be *exactly* what you wanted, but hopefully you still sorta like it. I apologize for the shortness of it … I sort of ran out of steam. My Charles!muse and my Margaret!muse stopped cooperating with me, damn them!

Sorry if you get this numerous times ... I'm cross-posting it to a few different comms.

The pairing doesn't sit right with me but you make it work here, and the letter just read like Charles. It sounded just right. Well done, really good writing =)

Thanks so much for the FB. Believe it or not, I'm not a big fan of Charles/Margaret either. I'm solidly in the Trapper/Margaret camp (they're second only to BJ/H) ... but I promised captain_lubey that I'd give C/M a shot. Plus, I think Charles (DOS) has great chemistry with just about any women he works with.

I think I might have a small crush on him after watching Foreign Affairs on the DVD instead of TV. He looks like he's probably a very good kisser.

Thanks again!
