Keeping their relationship a secret from their disapproving parents is certain to be a challenge.

London 1927. Edith Crawley isn't a naive young girl anymore - she's an independent woman, a writer, a mother.

More characters than the 4 we can select, including the children. (also continues ideas and characters from our other work, 'Honeymoon and Settling In')

Societal pressures and miscommunications caused Mary and Matthew to part years ago with no resolution on either side. Now reunited at university, can they pick up where they left off or are those same things that pulled them apart still lingering? Modern AU, once known on tumblr as school!mm.

Four months ago, Charles Carson would have balked at attempting the "scandalous attempt at a sound" that is a cappella music.

The story goes on…my take on what happened next for Mr and Mrs Bates and their family. Post S6/a kind-of S7 (though we'll be going a bit further than that).

A lonely shepherd, a strange woman, a proud youth and his gentle sister. Love. Loss. Heaven and earth. Gods and mortals, and what happens when they collide. The story about an encounter near a small village proves that there are lasting consequences for both mortals and the divine alike. "...no family is ever what it seems from the outside."

[AU] 1912: the Crawleys set sail from Southampton to New York to visit the Levinsons, and during the crossing (Mary and Matthew are busy bickering, Sybil is charmed by an Irish passenger) Edith meets an old family friend, and learns that she is not invisible, after all... But, alas, they are sailing on the brand-new White Star Line liner: lavish, majestic, ill-fated RMS Titanic.
