Author has written 1 story for Downton Abbey.

An avid fan of Downton Abbey, I created this account solely for DA fanfictions!

I ship: SybilxBranson (my OTP) and AnnaxBates (I don't write about them, I just love their relationship)

Favorite characters: Sybil, Tom, Anna, Bates, Matthew, Violet

CrossingtheStars is a reference to star-crossed lovers everywhere, of whom Sybil Crawley and Tom Branson are the greatest. I believe their love was fate; it was so strong, no class divide or family expectations could stop it.

A Little About Me

I am a 17-year-old fangirl. Those few words are enough to send most readers running, but I assure you that I am far from the norm. Although born and raised on the west coast of America, I have an obsession of all things British. Despite planning on pursuing a career in animal care and breeding, I have always loved writing. Writing is more than escapism for me. It is life.

4/25/13 - Try as I might, I can't get into the writing mood. I've written various rough-rough drafts for upcoming fanfictions, but nothing seems adequate at this point. I'm afraid Goodbye Kiss is going to be my sole fanfic until the creative juices start flowing again. Something to make my fellow S/T shippers happy: everything I'm working on/thinking through right now are AU's with a VERY MUCH ALIVE SYBIL. Because that one episode (whose number I shall not mention) never happened. Not in my mind, anyway.

Here by somethinginthewayful reviews
An episode rewrite of 2x08 in which Sybil gets Spanish flu not Cora and Tom cares for her. It is a simple two-shot canon rewrite that I had to write for them. Plenty of Robert/Branson angst and Sybil/Tom fluffiness, with Drama to boot. Enjoy!
