Fics like A Thistle Cannot Grow

A sequel of sorts to The Secret Garden--with a few of the characters from A Little Princess thrown in. Colin and Mary returned from university before the outbreak of the Great War. Mary wants to have a purpose in life--Colin is satisfied to work with his father in matters concerning Misselthwaite. However, war breaks out, and it's every man for himself! Dickon and Colin go off to fight and Mary's future isn't as rosy without Colin after all. Could she tell him how she feels about him before it's too late?
