My first fill for my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hc_bingo card! I was rereading Daddy-Long-Legs over the weekend (thank you, Project Gutenberg), and I remembered that one of my prompts was "orphans," and, there you are. Though I'm not sure if I'm cheating, since it's not the orphan that's getting the comfort (just yet)? ;)
This ficlet does contain major spoilers for the novel, so if you haven't read that yet, you might want to give this fic a pass (and go read canon! -- it's a short epistolary novel about an orphan, circa 1910, who is sent to college by an anonymous benefactor to whom she writes letters that are full of humor and fun details about life in a women's college at the time -- unfortunately, the Gutenberg version doesn't have the cute little sketches that pop up in some of the letters, but you can get the idea).
( He woke himself coughing again... )

- Her Last Letter but Two (830 words | PG, mild profanity)
A certain convalescent gets a letter from Miss Judy Abbott. The contents aren't quite what he was expecting to have to force himself to read.
