ladycoberthide bio
 Author has written 28 stories for Downton Abbey, Something's Gotta Give, and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Downton Abbey - OTP: Cobert Other ships: Chelsie, Baxley I also write some highly speculative (and therefore very fun) things about Violet and her husband (Patrick). Also, Martha and Isidore, and Rosamund and Marmaduke. Something's Got to Give - OTP: Harry x Erica In the works (I'm behind on almost all of these - sorry):
Author's note: I tend to weave elements from my other stories into current ones. So if you read something that seems familiar to the characters but not to you (and seems unexplained), it's probably because it's shown up in a previous fic. For example - a certain emerald green scarf which makes appearances or is referred to in Open Your Eyes (originally), Heartlines, and Spectrum. Another example - One of my OC characters, Hazel Perkins, makes her debut in An Affair of the Heart and reappears in Spectrum. There are other elements that show up in different places as well. *Never hesitate to ask me about something about which you are unsure.* In case you want to read the Cobert stories in chronological order:
And the modern AU:
