Eight years have passed since they last crossed paths. When they meet again, in post-war Salzburg, the Captain and Maria are no longer the same two people they had been, back when they danced in the garden. But as Rodgers and Hart wrote, "Sometimes you think you've lived before, all that you live today/Things you do, come back to you/As though they knew the way."

Georg couldn't wait to enter into marriage with Maria. But he was worried about what would happen during their wedding night. To evolve from their chaste kisses and caresses to... in one night, seem to quick for him to be comfortable with. He wanted her to want him as much as he wanted her. He wanted her to be ready.

"She knew he wouldn't answer. Even though it was her eleventh call, he wouldn't answer, and she knew why, deep inside. It was the only reason he would leave." / Lucy makes a drastic decision. Lyatt romance; Garcy friendship. An imagining for the rest of the season, starting canon-compliant and veering into AU. Song-inspired.

There was a small, dangerous hint of a smile on his lips. Wyatt tilted his head and waited for her answer, hope and fear and want mingled in those should-be-illegal eyes. (2x03 Hollywoodland addition of the citrus variety, because reasons.)

My second DA fic, this time multi-chapter. Starts at S02E03, but goes more AU from there. Finding Bates again leads Anna to make a difficult decision for the both of them, but it may be the only hope for the future they so long for together.

My take on what happened at the end of the Heart Attacks episode.

An AU which imagines that Richard and Isobel might have met before the start of Series 1, when they were working as part of the army's medical corps during the Boer War, and had an affair. The plot will follow that of Series 1, but not closely. This story will pay major homage to The English Patient.

The Anschluss and Nazi Party invade and Austria ceases to exist. All opposed to it are considered enemies to the Reich and therefore must be exterminated. But they didn't count on the will, faith and love of one group of people who are determined to escape and defy the evil empire - and become a family in the process.

Def. AU for the most part. Maria is hired as the English Tutor the summer before the Anchluss. In my story she is a widowed mother to two children. I'm trying to keep the story the same yet adding a little more spunk to her character.

After Matthew's death, Richard tries to comfort Isobel, but things go wrong.

Modern AU. Anna is a successful ballet teacher with a charming boyfriend. John is a single dad who is going through his second divorce. When Anna becomes John's daughter's ballet teacher, everything can change. Will they give into their feelings?

At the annual cricket match Isobel finds herself a little distracted. This is the result of reading a particular article and a chat with L&H. Harmless nonsense and suggestion. A one shot.
