A half-day for the Bates' is certainly not a day half-lived. Banna one-shot...for now. ;) My response to the A Picture is Worth 1000 Words Challenge #8: The Picnic

Short slices of Banna, mainly from Terriejane's Weekend Challenges on tumblr, plus other odd assorted prompt type things that have passed through my head.

This little piece of fluff is down to silly begger on tumblr. That'll teach you to put ideas into my head! John and Anna, AU, not so strangers stuck in a lift. Same old same old.

Set in series 3. John and Anna can't stop thinking about their reunion the night before, and that leads to a dangerous "adventure" in the attics. One shot based on Terriejane's Prompt 'What did Branson see'

Anna looks forward to the post each day. Set just before S2. Features Anna, Gwen, and Bates

Anna is looking forward to her first day back to work after giving birth to her son. However, one person can't quite stop worrying about the baby...

John plays the waiting game whilst Anna goes into labour...

Set during Series 2, Episode 8. Lord Grantham has received a telegram informing the family Matthew is injured. William's fate is unknown. Anna is grateful Mr Bates is there to comfort her as she considers, under different circumstances, what the war might have meant for her.

Modern AU: Anna Smith and John Bates didn't expect a trip to Matlock to change their lives forever... (lame title, I know)

The trailer freaked us all out. Here is a take on why Bates might have been crying, followed by some naughty goings on in the boot room. Pure fluff.

Life is a risky business. Modern AU.

After John's arrest, Anna spills all to Mrs. Hughes with her head held high.

A brief look at the seven types of love Anna Smith faces in her life. A mixture of love and angst with some possible series 2 speculations in later chapters!

Anna and Bates are souldmates that have conquered time. In their life, love and passion walk hand in hand lighting their days more than the sun and warming their nights more like the fire. Smut and fluff all the way!

On the day of their wedding, Anna tells John about a superstition that some Knitter's have. K for mention of a sexual assault.

Based on a prompt I received via Tumblr: "John always imagined taking Anna from behind and one night he finally has enough courage to ask her. Anna's a bit nervous about it but finds the idea exciting." Strong M Rating!

There is joy, there is heartbreak, but in between, in those small moments that define us, there is true love. The story of Anna and Mr. Bates, told in multiple installments.

Anna and John ruminate on each other through the five senses. Prompted by anon on Tumblr.

It's been four years and Anna is about to get everything her heart ever desired. I don't own these characters and there are no spoilers as far as I'm aware, there is however, some serious SNOGGAGE. :D

Lady Mary gives Anna a vibroette (vintage vibrator) for her anniversary. Anna and Bates have fun with it. Mature content, smut. For anon's prompt, vintage sex toys and lovebite.

Mr Bates may have thrown away the limp corrector but it wasn't that easy to get rid off the scars left behind. What happened when Anna first found out about it?

John and Anna's Wedding Night, I wanted more than pillow talk. This is what I would have enjoyed seeing develop as they found themselves fervently and secretly married at last. I adore these characters and I find their love story exquisitely lovely. I hope you will enjoy my version of their long awaited wedding night.

One-shot. An alternative ending to the 2013 CS- more Banna fluff!

A collection of one-shots, covering (mainly) off-screen scenes that I envisage, or alternative endings to on-screen scenes.

Season 4 Spoiler Alert: John knows. The truth surrounds them both. They embrace it, return to the cottage together, but how will they move forward from here?
