Carson doesn't know how to deal with the demon he thought he had managed to avoid. The inescapable sadness of realising that his life is going to change far sooner than he realised. Sometimes all you need is a bit of love, advice and comfort from the woman you love. Set during S6 Christmas Special.

Mary struggles with her grief and goes missing, and Carson tries to help find her. Mrs Hughes must deal with the realisation about her feelings for our wonderful Butler when everything unfolds into chaos. Chelsie heavy. Flickers of Cobert. This is AU as if the scene Carson & Mary reconcile in S4Ep1 doesn't happen.

Happy anniversary to Robert and Cora! A fun little oneshot of their first wedding anniversary.

Missing scene in 4 x 1. While Mary is still overwhelmed with grief about Mathew and Cora is without a lady's maid, Cora and Robert find a way to have a private wedding anniversary celebration.

Tout avait commencé par une simple lettre...

The way I see her, Etched in perfect starlight, Swathed in beams of moonlight, It's washes over foibles, Exalts her virtues, And makes her beautiful to me

What if Robert had squandered Cora's fortune before the Titanic sank? What if Matthew had inherited the money needed to save Downton before he became the heir? What if Tom had made something of himself before he met Sybil? An alternate Downton universe set in season one that explores how Sybil and Tom's relationship would have developed if they'd met under different circumstances.

Everyone has their secrets, including Rosamund Painswick. All Edith has to do is find the right moment to bring it up. "Extra" moment from 3x8.

Musings and contented tears late at night on the Carsons' honeymoon. Pretty much just fluff.

Happy Valentine's Day! Takes place sometime in s5ish but nowhere specific. Baxter and Bates help Robert and Cora celebrate Valentine's Day. Rated M for some very terrific fun.

For years, Anna just needed to survive. Now, she has to learn to live. Modern AU. John/Anna and Anna/Elsie (Mother/Daughter) with Carson and Mary. Inspired by the book/movie Room. Complete

"That's not what I meant," Matthew assured her, hand moving to hers, which was resting in his stomach. He felt her ring there as he moved her hand up, before brushing his lips over her knuckles. "I meant that... well, I love being loved by you." Moments from Mary and Matthew's honeymoon.

It was then that Tom realized the record had stopped playing. When it had happened, he couldn't say, but they kept swaying back and forth, more slowly than before. Tom didn't want to stop... didn't want to relinquish this rare chance to hold her in his arms.

Il y avait une petite tradition irlandaise pour la Saint-Valentin que Sybil trouvait aussi belle que touchante.

'Look at your children, see their faces in golden rays. Don't kid yourself they belong to you. They're the start of a coming race.' Isobel Crawley deals with the loss of her son, Matthew. [I wanted to write something involving song lyrics. Please review!]

A series of oneshots set in the present time. Martha/Isidore/Harold heavy. Inspired by ladycobert's Anything Goes.

It is July 1939, war is on the horizon once more, but the season goes on and for Sybbie Branson this means her debutante season. During a late-night conversation with her niece the night before her ball, Mary thinks about the changes the last ten years have brought and worries about the uncertain future that faces the new generation. As always, Henry helps give her perspective.

Modern AU. 2020 dawns on the Crawley family and staff working at Downton Abbey. Follow the highs and lows of the year as they clap for carers, panic buy toilet roll and struggle through the most extraordinary year they've ever encountered, which brings heartbreak, babies and political scandal with it.

Et si Thomas n'avait pas survécu à sa tentative de suicide ?

Edith is a broadcast journalist, Anthony is an architect. Their families are obliquely connected but they have never met. Edith also has a mystery to solve...

Inspired by the Florence The Machine songs 'No Light, No Light' and 'Shake it Out'. Two introspective Mary moments, the first after Matthew breaks with her in 1914, and the second when she sees him again in 1916. Carson is there to comfort her both times.

Mary has been hiding her visits to Dr Rider from Matthew, visiting him in secret even though she feels guilty for keeping it from him. When their paths unexpectedly cross in his waiting room, she has to explain herself, and they have a discussion about their potential children. A 'missing' Mary/Matthew scene from series three, episode eight.

Mary receives an invitation from Sir Richard, which prompts Matthew to question how she could have ever seriously considered marrying him. A conversation about love and marriage for 20th-century women ensues. This is inspired partially by a conversation with a friend about Belle's in Beauty and the Beast and partially by Amy's excellent monologue in Greta Gerwig's Little Women.

They'd willingly kept their marriage a secret for thirteen years. Why, then, did she have the urge to reveal it all now? (Series 1 Deviation/AU) (For Miss Maid)

Matthew once promised Mary that she'd have a home at Downton "as long as I'm alive". After his untimely death, this brings her more hurt than comfort and she revisits the site of many moments she and Matthew shared. During her nocturnal wanderings, Tom finds her, and witnesses the depth of her agony. Nothing is settled, but Mary begins to think she may escape her grief.
