Another stab at writing, this time for Banna. A night out leads to a sing along and great embarrassment. Thanks to our Gelana for the prompt: something around singing/music and embarrassment. Hey...we can't all be Pavarotti :)

It seems as if Robert did not wake up during the Pamuk night, but the question is what would have happened if he had?

I'm easing back into writing here with some fluffy Chelsie and Gelana's prompt: rescuing a wild animal or pet. Elsie simply can't resist a creature in need. And Charles is grateful, once he thinks about it.

August 1919, four months after Lavinia's death, four months before the new year, the spanish flu is still creating horror stories amid those in the village - it just so happens that Mary's case in amongst them.

John Bates had never felt so wonderfully fatigued in his whole life.

"So, it's true then?" Matthew said, "The legend? You're the beast that ate Lady Mary?" It still didn't explain the talking dish ware, but he could at least start with the beast. "You idiot," The beast snapped, "I am Lady Mary." (the beauty and the beast au that you probably didn't expect)

The fifth of my series of eight linked stories. So, what happened during that very last summer before the Second World War began, when the Bransons and the Crawleys went to stay with the Schönborns at La Rosière, Friedrich and Edith's beautiful château beside the River Loire in France. For those of you who so loved the adventures of the Three Musketeers: Danny, Robert, and Max.

Set in season 2, one month after Cora has recovered from Spanish flu. Robert feels guilty and Cora tries to understand what are the reasons of her husband's behaviour. Because even if we know that " There is no such thing as a marriage between two intelligent people that does not sometimes have to negotiate thin ice", how can they find their path towards each other?

Charles and Elsie are a legend...they just don't know it.

One-shot in which Charles helps his wife deal with the aftermath of finding Mr. Barrow post-suicide attempt. T/W for slight descriptive bits of the scene itself. Can be considered a companion piece to "Filling the Cracks."

Sybil attends a costume party with her sisters and meets a certain Irishman who seems to appreciate Annie Hall as a true seventies feminist icon. Modern AU, two-shot.

A collection of Sarah/Cora ficlets, moved over from LiveJournal.
