La première leçon de cuisine de Sybil ne lui offre pas uniquement les rudiments pour préparer un repas simple.

OS - Traduction / vient juste après le premier épisode de la saison 6, parce qu'après ce premier baiser, qui n'en voudrait pas un autre ?

Pre-Canon, slightly AU. During the London season of 1888, Robert and Cora meet for the first time. They embark on a sudden courtship that, through the eyes of society, seems destined to fail. But through the pressures of class and culture and a crumbling estate, Robert and Cora manage to find love as a pair deeply rooted in friendship.

A series of little one-shots surrounding the Bates family! Inspired by the 30 Days of Domestic Fluff challenge that circulated on Tumblr a couple of years ago. This is just a bit of fun to keep me sane and help with my writer's block while we all await the sequel in Dec! Please enjoy and feel free to review x

Robert Crawley lives happily until he's about to lose his home and becomes its only salvation. What must he do to save it? My view on how Robert Crawley and Cora Levinson met.

1898. Cora reads a book that Robert finds 'ghastly' but Cora decides to show him its appeal.

A series of night time moments experienced by Cora. *Highclere Awards 2014 Winner: Best Characterisation: Cora*

Will John, her husband, learn to accept the changes that come with her accession? Time will tell...

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes" - Mark Twain. London 1941: Edith's daughter has fallen head over heels for Anthony's nephew. Or: Andith do the Second World War. (A short multi-chapter fic that began life as a one-shot and got rapidly out of control.)

When Lady Mary dies at the age of 100, she is sent back to the beginning to 'make things right.' And she certainly does, with one hundred years of life experience, and most of the twentieth century under her belt, turning Downton―and its occupants―on their heads.

Tumblr prompt: "I'm right where I belong."

For many years a sense belonging eluded Marigold, rather like sand slipping through her fingers. In the end words help her, once she gets the hang of them.

Summary: After Robert's unexpected ulcer burst, Charles realizes how fragile life is and he is discussing it with Elsie, who helps him understand what is truly important (as always). One shot.

William Bates and Sybbie Carson-Bagshaw are progressing beyond their ABCs...to matchmaking! Auntie Beryl will lend the wee ones a hand down the road in getting their grandparents, Elsie and Charles, respectively, together. Present day Chelsie set in London.

"Success awaits those who steadfastly commit to any requisite sacrifice" -Ken Poirot. John and Anna keep hitting hurdles as they need some alone time. Modern AU. Fluffy, fun one-shot.

The Dowager Countess is expected for tea and delivers her typical snappy comments. What she doesn't know is that the settee she sits on is a special one. Basically Cobert shenanigans. Set s1-ish or slightly pre-series. Based on a tumblr-post

A collection of one-shots based on season 6, as John/Anna prepare for Baby Bates.

Elsie and Charles have a visitor from another time, who unleashes long-held secrets and opens unhealed wounds. Funnier than it sounds. Post-canon/AU, with an OC from the future.

Joseph Molesley is just settling in at his new address when he mistakenly receives a delivery for his upstairs neighbour, Phyllis Baxter, a seamstress who never seems to leave home. Modern AU, Baxley.

This story is begins a bit before the very first episode of the show. Elsie Hughes made an error in judgement one night, thirteen years ago. "Do you ever wish you'd gone another way?" She asks. (Sorry for the terrible summary.)

Who would have ever thought a cup of sugar could add so much more sweetness to one's life outside of just their baked goods?

Tumblr prompt: "You make me feel alive."

It’s 1890, and the Crawley family are in London for Lady Rosamund’s first Season. It doesn’t take long for Rosamund to discover that finding the perfect match is nowhere near as easy as it’s made out to be.

Tumblr prompt: "Please don't do this."

(Sequel to 101 Romances) Rosamund Painswick has everything she could want—except a child. Her wedding is quickly approaching and Cora is having the time of her life planning it, along with Mary, Edith, and Sybil.
