Dr. Anna Smith works at a private research firm. Tasked with delivering a research update to their chief investor, she travels to French wine country. There she meets John Bates, reclusive investor. Heavy snows trap them together in the house long enough to realize that they may never want to be apart.

AU: Anna Smith finds herself in a predicament when her boyfriend, Graeme Bates, introduces her to his brother, John, who comes from London to Yorkshire for the funeral of Violet Crawley. It's not an easy ride for any but true colours begin to shine through. Characters, except Graeme and Figg, belong to Julian Fellowes. All reviews welcomed and appreciated.

Charles and Elsie are watching the couples on the dance floor when she suddenly grabs his arm and leads him onto the floor. A tiny bit of fluff...

First of all, thanks a million to those reading and/or reviewing my first Downton-related fanfic, The Road to Their Future. I kind of think of this latest effort as an AU of my original AU: It's admittedly a similar idea, but please stick with it, as there's a decided difference where character and ending are concerned. Also, thanks to TNT for their recent BTTF-broadcast!

A slightly different take on the canon proposal. Belated birthday gift for chelsietothenorthern.

Letters exchanged between Elsie & Charles, and Elsie & Becky Barton (nee Hughes), and also with other OCs. Consistent with my 1926 head-canon and pre-history of the Hughes sisters. Set after 'The Acquisition of Memories' & 'Calling Stumps' and makes more sense to read them in that order 1st. An attempt at an epistolary form of story as Chelsie edge closer to retirement.

Bates and Anna's road to happiness has already had more than its share of bumps; his arrest and what comes of it is only the next test of their love. Short vignettes covering on- and offscreen scenes in their romance; sequel to "For This Love."

Tom's fortuitous 'reporting for work' meeting with Lord Grantham was held in the Abbey's library, of all places. I believe it set the tone for his character from the very beginning, highlighting that particular facet of him. A chauffeur, yes, but a thinking man's chauffeur, if you will. The love of books can connect generations, as it does here between Tom and Sybbie.

Sybil is haunted by decisions from her past. She finally realizes she has to confront her past and that while she can't change the past she can change her future.

A year after their infamous dinner dates, the Crawley sisters are marrying their beaus in a unique and lavish triple wedding ceremony! But when three very different, and very passionate sisters share a day like this, drama is bound to happen! Modern AU, for STEAMM Day 2014; the sequel to "Who Wants to Date a Crawley Sister?"

Joe tries to be a sport, but friends with benefits isn't working for him. M for lots of naughty talk.

A series of 6 drabbles that finish telling the story after a significant event in the lives of Charles Carson and Elsie Hughes. This is mostly just for me...but if you like it that makes me happy. I like to write. I don't claim to be good at it. I do it simply because I enjoy it.

When Jim Carter shaved his head IRL, November 2017, Tumblr was all abuzz (pardon the pun) with the news and @stokersisters even suggested a prompt to help explain why. This is my one-shot explanation. Set after Season 6. Pure Chelsie with a little Banna, baby Bates and other characters tossed in.

While Robert is hiding from another one of his mother's balls he sees his young puppy has charmed the beautiful Cora Levinson. It doesn't take them long to realise that they make quite the pair. Can two people from such different worlds really create an ideal marriage? Cobert. Early courting/marriage AU

Just an idea I had while recently watching a key scene from the Back to the Future, where Marty tries to warn Doc Brown of a key event in his future via a letter. So I thought to myself, "What if Marty left a letter for a certain would-be future English earl with similar hopes of changing his future for the better?" Hope you like it!

They are Charlie and Elsie to one another, at long last. A (very fluffy) sequel to my first story, "All the Difference." Takes place the evening after the final scene in 6x01.

After World War II, Edith and Marigold take a trip they've always meant to do. Sequel to 'Day of Fate'.

Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes have something to get used to.

Cora bumps into the new footman one day, and it leads to quite an unexpected conversation about her maid. But to be honest, that's just me trying to defend O'Brien.

'Chekhov's Gun' is a literary concept that says everything in a work must have a purpose: if it is shown early on, it should be used later. So something that was shown in S1E1 has been bothering us. We've been waiting and watching, but it was never used. Apparently. But maybe it was.

Inspired by an interview before season 5 with Jim Carter and Phyllis Logan. Their stories about their school days inspired this fluffy fic. Rated T mostly for language - they're really young in this story. If you haven't seen the interview, watch it. I didn't make up the part about smoking and playing canasta. Update: Intended to be a one shot, but my brain had other ideas.

Love lost and love found, in the autumn of their years. Hard fought and hard won on several fronts. How does love turn into broken hearts and broken vows?

My long delayed Chelsie Honeymoon fic. Not sure exactly where this is going but hopefully some of you will join me for the ride. Enjoy!

Lady Ravensburg has lived her whole life knowing she had to marry for position, for fortune, and- if she was very lucky- for companionship. But when Anna was young she dreamed of someone else. She dreamed of the Illusionist, long before he was called that. He's always been John to her. Now, after so many years apart, Anna wants him to be John to her again.

Friendship birthday fic for the amazing dibdab4. Stand alone, but perhaps the precursor to something more. Pre-canon.
