My contribution for January Rock the AU - World War II. Sybil and Tom bump into each other in the chaos of an air raid and they get talking and realise that they might have some things in common.

What happened the night of Anna's rape? Set the night between 4.03 and 4.04. I got the idea when Anna told Mrs. Hughes "I can't let him touch me," and Bates said "I can't come near you." Those lines told me that Bates had tried to touch Anna and possibly apologize for snapping at her in the Servants hall. I'm labeling this with a trigger warning just in case!

During the Christmas Special, Bates got a Penny Lick, will Anna get a turn?

In the third episode of an eight part series conflicts are introduced, and arcs begin. So this is a bit of a launch pad. Everybody is in it including a couple of my own additions. There's flapper-talk, a storm, too much sherry, a fire and a suspension. Some romance, because so much romance was lost and needs to be made up for. And hopefully, humor. Action is in italics.

The first thing he's aware of is pain. Incredible, debilitating pain that has him crying out, fingers scrabbling across the bandages over his eyes. It hurts everywhere; the dull ache in his bones that he's had since the moment he left home is the least of his worries. He's in a bed somewhere, blindfolded, hurting, and his first thought is, 'they've got me. The Germans have got me.'

My take on Anna's first night back at the cottage after John finds out. **Spoiler Alert US Ep 4/UK Ep 5** ***Possible trigger warning*** - there are no details, or anything directly addressing the attack. Just wanted to post a warning to be safe.

This is what I thought happened the first night Anna was back in the cottage, after she moved back in. Oneshot. Trigger warning, just to be safe!
