Over the course of four months (December 1938 — March 1939) they are supported by a recurring cast of friends, including Mrs Hall, Helen and Jenny.

Summary
This is my attempt to provide a glimpse of the 'lost episodes' between Series 5 and 6. It makes sense for the show to skip over these years, but ... here's my dystopian view of how it might have gone in an alternative universe.
Some of the history is accurate, taken from authoritative sources, other parts are entirely fictional.
This is angst as I follow the fates of major ACGAS characters, but there will be a slow burn for AxS and a happy ending (I hope).
