The countess of Grantham has been harboring feelings for someone she fears may never be able to properly love her back.

A little story in Charlie's point of view after episode 3.04. Charlie/Ethel.

"She couldn't ignore it any more. The tightness in her belly and the shooting pain in her back had reached the point where Sybil knew it was time." Ten drabbles surrounding the night Sybil gives birth. Written before 3X05 aired and NOT CANON COMPLIANT. This one ends well folks.

Cora's first riding lesson does not go quite according to plan.

Downton Abbey Season 3, about three months after Season 2 leaves off. It starts with a lot of Mary, Matthew and Anna surrounding the imprisonment of John Bates. I'm hoping to add in Sybil, Branson, Edith, Carson, and Mrs. Hughes later. A little bit of every character. Downton is not mine, it belongs to Julian Fellowes and ITV. K for now.

Edith Crawley realizes that, yet again, she is the sister left behind - and decides to do something about it. Set in 1920 post Christmas Special , the middle daughter of the Crawley family refuses to give up on the man who once called her "lovely".

Robert isn't handling things well and Cora tries to help.

Tom's been drugged, buttons need to be resowed, fighting in the main entrance, and Larry Grey is an ass. Another exciting night at Downton it would seem. AU story on what could have happened after Tom and Sybil left the dining room in S3E1. A sequel of sorts to By Any Means.

Mr and Mrs Carson move into a cottage at Downton, but will their post-retirement marriage be bliss?

Post S2 Christmas Special-Missing scene before S3 (no spoilers). Breaking the news of their engagement to their families would never have been a typical event for Matthew and Mary. (I have borrowed my friends briefly from Fellowes, they will forever live with him)I always imagined that M/M may not have just announced their engagement blatantly, and this is the product. Enjoy!

Odds-and-ends moments at Downton Abbey, ranging from the humorous to the solemn. Some spoilers for season three.

Isobel tells Richard that Ethel is going to be the new housemaid at Crawley House, and about why she felt she had to hire her. Series three missing scene and spoilers.

"No one ever warns you about bringing up daughters." Cora and Mary both experience a few firsts.

Anthony Strallan woke in the mud of France, injured and frightened. His journey home was a long one. All from his pov.

The reason Mrs. Hughes is so strict about the key to the door that separates the servant's quarters may not be what you think.

Sarah O'Brien and the new kitchen maid get to know each other over sewing lessons. Sarah/Ivy femslash.

What if Sybil had been a housemaid, and Tom her employer? The story we know and love but with a twist.

Daughter of an Earl, fourth-grade teacher, middle-sister, and pathologically single, Edith Crawley has had enough of people telling her how to change her life; between bad-hair days, surreal phone-calls, cursed dates, hideous men, and an illogical enamourment for imaginary characters, we'll follow the journey of an urban single woman trying to survive life and family. Modern AU.

After 3.03 Edith marries someone else, but Anthony can't forget her. This is a second posting after, ahem, a technical hitch. Apologies to people who'd already reviewed. Lord Fellowes owns these characters but after what he did to them in 3.03 he should be reported to the RSPFC (Royal Society for the Protection of Fictional Characters).

Downton Abbey, 1920. Lady Sybil reflects on some of the new freedoms she has as Mrs Branson. One-short companion piece to "Life Line", intended to speculate on what may have been going through Sybil's mind during those dialogue-less background scenes in season three, episode one. Very minor spoilers for season three.

Obligatory death!fic based on speculation and spoilers from Series Three so far. Please don't read if you do not wish to be spoiled. The house is disturbed in the middle of the night with some awful news, which turns out to be especially terrible for two people in particular. Sarah/Cora implied.

Spoilers for series three episode three- written after listening to Paloma faiths album, non of the characters are mine sadly I hope you enjoy

One shot for 3.4. Robert has not been having a good night with the Archbishop of York as a dinner guest and Tom Branson turning up on his doorstep alone. Surely it couldn't get worse?
