AU Chelsie follows them throughout 2018-19's Year of the Dog. Chapter titles feature dog idioms and otherwise wag the dog's tail while the story introduces Charles to Elsie thanks to their dogs and eventually where they belong: together. Headlined by Charles/Jim, Elsie/Phyllis mashups with a LONG list of DA characters in supporting roles, cameos. A sprinkling of M adds to the fun.

The Crawley grandchildren think they have met the Grinch. Edith sorts it all out.

Edith Crawley works at Anthony Strallan's favorite coffee shop. Anthony is Edith's favorite customer. Can the two become more than mere acquaintances.

"We'll sit by the fire, with all of our children around us, and I will make certain that you are safe." That was a promise that John Bates made to his wife when she was at one of the lowest points in her life. Now, several years later, do the two of them have that? Read to find out :)

Modern AU. During the Downton Historical Society's annual Halloween gathering, Anthony and Edith stumble upon secrets that have been hidden for over a century. While uncovering the past, they may learn to embrace a future together... Featuring appearances by Sybil X Tom, Charles X Elsie, and Anna. Happy Halloween 2018!

For ANDITH FEST 2018, and dedicated to Our Glorious Leader, Lady Tarlea! The OC is Archie, Anthony's dog. Modern AU.

Belated entry for AndithFest 2018. A short and sweet Regency!AU. Lady Edith Crawley runs away from home in the middle of a snowstorm, after overhearing her parents' plan to marry her off to a neighbour. Crashing her phaeton into a handsome stranger on the way - and becoming stranded at a roadside inn with him - was most definitely not part of the plan...

"Mr. Molesley! You used to have hair!" Anna doesn't hear the embarrassed answer the man empresses to give Daisy, so focused that she is on the treasure in her hands. The photo taken the day of their marriage is already her most prized possession, sitting proudly on her nightstand, the first and last thing she sees each and every day. Now, she has more pieces of her husband's past.

Cora and Robert enjoy having an afternoon to themselves, thinking they'd be alone in the library. The inspiration came from a thought I had, because I thought it would be funny to imagine that Cora and Robert enjoyed the risky activity of bringing their private life into the library (which is far less private than the bedroom...) Set somewhere between S5 and S6.

written for annambates for the batesessecretservice Secret Santa on tumblr. John and Anna are thrilled to welcome eight month old Evan into their home on Christmas Day but the feeling is not quite mutual for some reason. Written in the 'Ten Items or Less' universe - consider it some kind of sequel, I guess. ugh, I hope this even makes sense... xoxo

Modern AU written for the Andith Secret Santa Exchange. The lives of Anthony Strallan and Edith Crawley take an abrupt and unexpected turn on Christmas eve.

Starts with canon...the scene in the Rolls in the village, and goes on from there.

Sixteen year old George explains to his mother how a certain baronet has become rather important to him. One shot.

"Isn't he the most beautiful man you've ever seen?" Edith's cousin by marriage said. And of course, he was.

Charles and Elsie face the challenges of his palsy. My answer to chelsie-prompts' latest prompt: "In Sickness." One-shot.

It had been designed to tear them apart, but in the end it had only brought them still closer togther. A story about how love can come from grievous experiences.

It wasn't that Mrs. Hughes lacked knowledge, her mother did teach her the basics after all. But she lacked the experience to make her very good at it. And if she were honest, she didn't really enjoy it all that much.

What if Anna and Bates's S4 storyline had happened to Cora and Robert instead? What differences would class have made? Begins with S5E5, AU from there.

Some spoilers for Season 5. Isis is coming to the end of her days but worries that her master and mistress will be forever unhappy. This is Cobert told from the perspective of Robert's beloved pet dog.

Mrs Hughes is bored during the Season, but gets a call from Mr Carson to urgently join him. She doesn't need to be told twice, but what she finds at Grantham House is not all pleasant.

A response to a Chelsie anon prompt a frustrated Carson confronts Elsie regarding her behavior towards himself and Anna causing Elsie to break down...certain circumstances put Elsie in a position to have to protect Anna and her self... series 4 spoilers.

Elsie learns something about Charles that breaks her heart. Can it be mended by something unexpected? Runner up in the final Highclere Awards 2014.

Oneshot. Sybil and Tom try to forget about their "places." Wall sex in the library. Otherwise devoid of plot. Lemon.
