This is an AU Chelsie piece set in Reformation-era England at Downton Abbey, a literal Abbey. Carson is a priest and Elsie Hughes is a nun in the era of the English Reformation. They are in love, but can they do anything about it? Will they do anything about it? Rating may increase.

Chelsie-centric, period set, mostly in-canon "missing moments" fic, starting in 1920 (S3), with a little twist: all events, conversations, and activities (AHEM) take place between the hours of midnight and four a.m. Expect later chapters to bump this to an "M" rating, for obvious reasons. A loose companion piece to A History of Moments.

Daryl tries to help Carol and himself find some closure back in Georgia. I do not own The Walking Dead or any of its characters

He's been her anchor for so long. Her constant. She thinks about how hard she worked to distance herself from everyone. From him. Looking into his eyes was like looking into a reflection of her own soul. He knows her. He's always known her, maybe even before he knew he did.

Isobel has a lesson to learn...how she learns it may prove to be just a bit of deja vu...or maybe it's all been a dream.

Birthday ficlet for the lovely MGT. Chelsie and Christmas; period-set.

WARNING! This story deals with sexual harrassment, assault, and abuse - This story began with a well-liked character being a cute "bad-boy" but things escalated quickly and as the writer, I could choose to abandon the story or let the plot play itself out...you can decide for yourself if I made the right choice.

Modern AU - "Well, Mr. Clarkson," began Elsie Hughes. "Well, well, well," came Richard Clarkson's velvety voice over the phone. "And exactly who might you be, my wee Scottish lassie?" Charles Carson sat bolt upright in his chair at the change in Clarkson's demeanor. Elsie wasn't sure she appreciated his tone of voice either but she raised her hands in a placating fashion...

A slightly different take on the canon proposal. Belated birthday gift for chelsietothenorthern.

Letters exchanged between Elsie & Charles, and Elsie & Becky Barton (nee Hughes), and also with other OCs. Consistent with my 1926 head-canon and pre-history of the Hughes sisters. Set after 'The Acquisition of Memories' & 'Calling Stumps' and makes more sense to read them in that order 1st. An attempt at an epistolary form of story as Chelsie edge closer to retirement.

A series of 6 drabbles that finish telling the story after a significant event in the lives of Charles Carson and Elsie Hughes. This is mostly just for me...but if you like it that makes me happy. I like to write. I don't claim to be good at it. I do it simply because I enjoy it.

Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes have something to get used to.

Inspired by an interview before season 5 with Jim Carter and Phyllis Logan. Their stories about their school days inspired this fluffy fic. Rated T mostly for language - they're really young in this story. If you haven't seen the interview, watch it. I didn't make up the part about smoking and playing canasta. Update: Intended to be a one shot, but my brain had other ideas.

My long delayed Chelsie Honeymoon fic. Not sure exactly where this is going but hopefully some of you will join me for the ride. Enjoy!

A small, multi-chapter story about the endurance of love, how we touch each other, even after we are gone. An epilogue of sorts to "A History of Moments". Events and characters are based on my monolith to Cheslie, so new readers might miss some things without reading AHoM. WARNING: STORY TAKES PLACE AFTER CHARLES HAS DIED. It's sad, uplifting, loving, hopeful.

January 1922: Part of the 'Moving' AU. Charles and Elsie continue to build their life in Hull, visit Downton, go to Germany and eventually take their trip to Italy. Life happens along the way. This is, essentially, my take on series 4 and beyond (WAY BEYOND)!

Mrs. Patmore overhears...something.

Charles and Elsie were always mirror images of secret yearnings and upheld propriety. They stand side by side, together, united ... but are they truly that? Very steamy and not the usual way for them to get together. Will be a four chapter long story ... or that's what I have planned. Disclaimer: I don't own them. They are Fellowes' creation, but I play around with them.

Charles and Elsie fight over what's between them. I do believe it's going to get M.

So guys I wrote this because when you lose in a game you must suffer the consequences. Rated M, don't read this if your below 18 (but if you're below 18, I don't care I'm below 18 myself but consider you're warned). Carson and Hughes,always.

He spends a lot of time fantasizing about her. Dirty, disgusting fantasies. If he only knew... She does the same.

There was a question just burning in his mind, she could see it. She wouldn't pressure him, though. She'd wait until he was ready to speak. And after a few minutes of silence, he finally spoke up again. "Would... Y'read to me?" Caryl one-shot. M/E for detailed sexual situations.

Aspiring writer Charles Carson is still healing in the aftermath of WWII. As he begins to construct a book based on a collection of journals left by a distant relative, he uncovers the tale of a secret love just as he meets a woman who has the potential to either fill or break his heart. AU that will incorporate Downton characters. Not my characters, but I love them deeply.

Collection of my responses to the Chelsie - Anon prompts. Spoilers for Series 5 CS in chapter 6.

One moment of weakness, one fleeting moment of temporary insanity is all it takes for Carson and Hughes to give in. S5 AU. Carson/Hughes. Solid M.

Set during and after s4, with various lines of dialogue from s5 and possibly s6 (we'll see).

Where Carson and Mrs. Hughes are now husband and wife.

New Chelsie series of prompts based on quotes from Jane Austen and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Feeling a bit rusty, but happy to be writing about these two sweethearts. This first entry is quite tame, but marking T with the possibility of some future M-ness.

A slightly steamy Chelsie in honor of our Mona for her birthday! When Mr. Carson makes a decision...he makes a decision. Probably OOC, but lots of fun regardless.

Sgt. Benson is running late for an event, but ADA Barba won't go away. She tracks him down later and makes a surprising discovery, which leads to a steamy encounter. WARNINGS: Benson/Barba, mostly PWP, heed the M rating.

well it started out as drabbles and then turned into this monster...

After the season in London and the day at the sea, Carson and Hughes, notice a change in the tide. Upon returning to Downton Abbey, they begin to explore a side of their relationship that had once only filled their fantasies.

This is mainly a Charles Carson and Elsie Hughes story set during Series 5. However, Richard Clarkson will appear, as will Isobel Crawley to a lesser extent. As a ghost from Charles's past re-emerges, will he choose his past over his present? Does the Butler appreciate what he has here and now?

As the prospect of retirement looms for the Butler of Downton Abbey will Charles and Elsie finally part ways or will they find happiness and fulfilment together? This story is set at some point after Series 4.

This is a Caryl story, though whole group involvement should be expected. Caryl, Daryl, Carol Rated M for language, violence, and sexual content.

When the end is finally in sight Mrs.Hughes makes a list of all the things she wishes to do before she dies, much to her surprise Mr. Carson decides to help.

Some words are more powerful than others. It's all about timing.

Wedding Bells for Carson and Hughes

Charles catches Elsie doing dishes and well...it leads to doing things in the strangest places...

Even when kept silent the truth has a habit of breaking free. Sequel to Still Waters and a continuation of Charles and Elsie's story.

Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes have a frank discussion about the staff and themselves.

A sequel to "Improper Behaviour", obviously, taking place almost immediately after the trip to York. The story of Elsie Hughes, Terrorist of Downton. Most decidedly a crack!fic, with a generous dose of C/H romance.

Directly following the events of the Christmas Special. Mr. Carson sees something he doesn't quite approve of. Mrs. Hughes saves the day or, in this case, the night before he manages to spoil the scene - and gives him something to think about...
