S3 and S4 AU. Tom, Sybil, and their daughter Sybbie are visiting Downton for a week or two in Spring 1922. Mary finds Tom working in the library and conversation ensues, followed by fluffiness.

Action in italics. Almost everybody in it but Isobel. She will be in next E3 according to me.

Post-India Sarah/Cora inspired by the lyrics of 'Du Trägst Keine Liebe In Dir' (You Carry no Love in You). My contribution to the corah christmas fic exchange!

Cora's birthday is coming up and she feels forgotten. What she doesn't know is that her family is planning a surprise. Upper 'T' territory. Not quite 'M', but definitely upper 'T'.

SPOILERS for S4, E3! Vera was still at Downton. Not physically, no one ever saw her. But spiritually, yes, she was very much there. After she took her own life, she thought John would finally get what he deserved. But no, that little Anna of his had to get in the way. Now John was out of prison, and Vera was not happy. Vera sees the house party as a chance to strike back.

"Mary has had a secret much longer than she knew." Rated M for reference to but not graphic description of marital congress.

Oneshot, might get more chapters. It's 1910. Thomas Barrow, also known as the evil footman, applies for a job at Downton Abbey.

Somehow I found this scenes! Isn't it amazing? So sad they got cut from the episode! Chapter 2: The last scene of the CS 2013 got cut. What a pity!

Shameless smut inspired by a post on Tumblr!

Both Cora and Robert can sense that something is not quite right with Edith. Why would she go to Switzerland when Michael Gregson is still missing? Why with Rosamund? What is happening with their middle daughter?

Tom Branson has just begun his lone journey away from his homeland to become the next chauffer at Downton Abbey. An exciting prospect, but will he ever make it? An encounter with a dark and dangerous creature puts his future on the line. If he survives the night, he has eternity to make something of himself. Vampire!Tom - Downton Abbey meets The Vampire Diaries….sort of!

Spoiler alert, I like many was distraught when Sybil died. She was truly a kind soul and this is what I would imagine her final words to Branson would be.

It's the spring of 1923, and Jimmy was a delicate, combustible piece of paper in Thomas' magnified sunlight.

Tom decides to take Sybil out to the cinema, but what they see blurs the line between fiction and reality. Set in Dublin 1920. COMPLETE

Branson and Sybil discuss a rather interesting book she found in her father's library. Set before series two.

"When she tells him she's going to teach him to dance, his first reaction is to refuse. When he feels the warmth of her bare hand through his driving gloves as she laces her fingers with his and drags him into the meadow, however, he can't seem to say no." Appalled that Branson can't dance, Sybil decides to teach him. The result is not what either of them expected. Pre-war S/B.

A/U following a brawl between Bates and Green where Thomas is involved.

Harold and Madeleine haven't seen the last of each other. In fact they find themselves going out the way to see each other. But they're not out of the woods yet. Suspicious fiancees, jealous mistresses, and a disapproving family are all against the couple.

The relationship between them changed since that day at the sea side but Elsie is keeping a very important secret about her life. Can they always hold hands? Set after Christmas Special of series 4!

"Did you hear?" the woman asked her comrade. "They've arrested Branson." -Life in Ireland is a dangerous fight for the future the Bransons believe in. For Rachel (afraidnotscared) who mentioned this idea to me once. Originally posted on Tumblr. Chapter 2 rated M.

On her maiden voyage Titanic was called the ship of dreams. The Crawley family embarks on the journey towards America accompanied by seven members of their staff. Carson and Mrs. Hughes find themselves risking everything in order to understand their feelings. With love in the air it only seems inevitable the outcome could be a tragedy. AU Multipairing. Rating may change.

…or the introduction of an external element as a pretext to explore the reflexions of characters we know… When there's a new face in a group, there are always some reactions. Even if the newcomer tries to not get noticed. The thoughts of several characters, both upstairs and downstairs, about a new and discreet employee in Downton.

AU set during series 1. Anna finds out about Bates limp corrector.

Robert and Cora have a disastrous wedding night after Cora tries to make it perfect for him, but Robert is terrified. Nominated for a Highclere Award in the Robert/Cora angst category.

He'd been slashed and burned too many times before, and hearts wear much quicker than soil.
