This is a fascinating take on the possible outcomes! It would br interesting if Rhett told Scarlett about his experience after they’ve gotten to a happy place!

You’re an amazing writer! Wow I wasn’t expecting Charles to be the visitor but it does make sense. What’s going to be funny to me is Rhett knows Scarlett is pregnant before Scarlett knows. I wonder if he’s going to slip and mention it accidentally. Only time will tell but I can’t wait for another chapter :)

Soo good

I loved this! Fantastic

That was lovely, with an interesting premise. All he needed was to see that she would meet him if he made the effort.

So good . Each of them hurt thé other. They weee too passionate. She was too hurt by war to learn how to be gentle and take Time to be happy. If she was not afraid to loose money, rhett will havé help to make her grow up into thé mysterious and better version of herself, more gentle, more cultured, who learn what true élégance is, who travel with his husband, see the world be âme thé fascinating woman she was destined to become. After all she marry rhett butler an unconventional and complex man. A south gentleman by birth and education but who was so much more , too passionate to live a dull life, an adventurer, a gambler a buisness man ( who always make money because of his interest in the world) selfish also but compassionate with this who deserve it. A man very complex who is tough, can be cruel, can kill without remorse, dangerous, at ease with thiefs and aristocrat. Who can make friends with people from different background. Who had connection everywhere, a traveler who never stop to learn. World was a joyous playground for him and he meet her, his true love a person who is like him , different, passionate who don’t need to be like other but he is more clever he can charm anybody, people forget his mistake juste because he want it, he has a way with people even if he is different more wealthy more handsome, people love him . I think they both need a second chance to be happy, have more children. Live a life different, he need to make her see the world , their home is each other, they can make a dinasty.

This is great stuff. Loved it.

Absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to read more from you. Cheers!

I would like to see how they continue from here

You embraced Captain Scarlett’s alliteration: “... fodder for fan fiction.” Then, cleverly crafted a creative counter utilizing: “... crude, covetous, cruel ...” Congratulations on your first fan fiction!

Great choice, btw, for Charles to be Scarlett’s champion, who challenges Rhett to stay. Be inspired to write more!

i love it, and i love Charles's ghost

So sweet!

What a charming story. Thank you so much for sharing it. I hope you write other stories.

OK, when he first said..."Leaving so soon, Captain Butler?," I thought it was Ashley! (OMG)

Nice surprise - I like very much the 'Christmas Carol' like spin on things and am very pleased to see Charles in lieu of Frank lurking around on behalf of Scarlett's happiness...

and of course - what a perfect place to insert a HEA...RIGHT before all those irreversible decisions and dominos start falling into a path of complete pathos.

Very well done - thank you.

That was so well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the title and the suspense you created. I am a sucker for any story that explores Rhett’s thoughts and choices. I want to scream for Rhett to stay in that bed every time I read this part of the novel. I'm glad he got a chance to make it right. I hope you decide to write more stories. Thanks for sharing.
