Scenes from the friendship between Thomas Barrow and George Crawley in the years after the end of the show, jumping back and forth in time.

In which history repeats itself. Repeatedly. Sometimes, but not always, for the worst.

Every tv show needs to visit this trope, don't you think? This was written for the Matthew/Mary Secret Santa 2015 event on Tumblr for Whatsyourpathology.

Marigold Gregson isn't stupid, nor is she blind. She knows that her real background has been kept from her. Sybbie Branson is independent. She's so independent that she doesn't realise she is falling in love. George Crawley is stubborn. He knows what he wants to do with his life and his plans do not involve living at Downton. Please Read & Review.

Daughter of an Earl, fourth-grade teacher, middle-sister, and pathologically single, Edith Crawley has had enough of people telling her how to change her life; between bad-hair days, surreal phone-calls, cursed dates, hideous men, and an illogical enamourment for imaginary characters, we'll follow the journey of an urban single woman trying to survive life and family. Modern AU.
