Interesting point about David Mellenby. I've seen him pop up as a past partner of Nightingale's in fic; that theory (at least at this point, at the end of 'Foxglove Summer') makes sense to me but is, to be perfectly honest, not particularly exciting: Yes, yes, Fallen Brother In Arms, etc. pp., so it has resonance for Nightingale in an emotional sense. But am I missing how it would be essential to the plot?
