All of the little firsts we miss for Anna and Bates, and a lot of the conversations we should have seen. Will start fluffy, get mildly angsty, and end steamy.

Thomas isn't the same anymore...

Today I'm going to write a sad song... A song fic based on Christina Perri's Sad Song because it describes early Cora/Robert sooo well!

Matthew and Mary have fun.

Mary breaks it off with Carlisle and while she's waiting to go to America she meets an unsuspecting millionaire. AU

A series of stand-alone expansions on the too brief scenes between Anna and Mr. Bates, mostly from Bates POV, as well as the occasional missing scene. Series 2 spoilers!

O'Brien and Bates are a ship almost impossible to sail. This is just an attempt to explain part of what they think of one another.

Staying at Downton on returning from their honeymoon, Matthew and Mary find themselves in a dilemma one morning over honouring propriety or their appetites. Very, very mild spoilers.

Charles and Elsie reminiscing of their own special day whilst in the church. Contains Series 3 spoilers.

A small idea I had after watching the season three opener, I am a fan of Branson so I loved this line, *minor spoiler.*

Spoilers for S3E01. This time Mary does come and kiss him when he calls...

One-shot for 3.1 set on the night of Matthew and Mary's wedding. Love is in the air and it seems to be affecting everyone.

Mr Mason asks Mrs Patmore to help him with the funeral arrangements. Written for the funeral and in the kitchen challenges at downton100.

AU. What if Mary had said yes when Matthew first proposed? He enlists before he and Mary are married, and leaves a very conflicted fiance behind. And when he returns home, he returns to a very changed Downton and Mary... Mary/Matthew Sybil/Branson OC/OC

Sæson 2 episode 7 har sybil og Edith en samtale hvor Sybil fortæller om hendes planer uden Edith ved det. det her er Edith tanker om Sybil, Tom og samtalen efter Sybil og Branson er flyttet til Dublin. indholder ikke Sybil og Tom men kun tanker om dem. færdig. Please review!

Modern M/M. Matthew gets the flu and Mary takes it upon herself to nurse him back to health. Same universe as 'A Conflict of Feelings', alluded to in 'Meeting the Mother'. Also includes Isobel!

"There," Sybil breathed lazily, lounging rather unlady like against him, "Isn't that better?" Tom couldn't help but agree. Leaning against the back of the tub, his knees up, allowing her room to sit between them, as the two adults tried to fit in their tiny bathtub meant they were well and truly pressed together. The night before they leave to return to England in 3X01.

Robert has to tell Cora about his terrible mistake.

It's Mary and Matthew's wedding day! But amidst the joy and excitement surrounding one lovely bride, another bride can't help but wonder what it may have been like, if her father had looked at her with the same awe on her wedding day, as he looks now upon her older sister? Emotion, heartbreak, and romantic fluff. (Based on pre-series 3 speculations; now *happily* AU!)

Matthew and Mary's wedding reception takes a turn for the unexpected. Richard/Mary crackfic for mrstater.

She had always loved Christmas, ever since she was a little girl. He didn't particularly care for it, not after so many unhappy memories. But each Christmas is different from the other, and opinions and views could be changed. For both of them.

One conversation changes everything. An Isobel Richard piece set post season two. The title comes from the Lady Antebellum song.

S1 AU. The ship of dreams, they called it, the Titanic, the greatest liner. Unsinkable. The Crawley family sails first-class across the ocean, and Lady Mary, engaged, is one of them. Matthew seeks to make his fortune in the new world. And then they meet.

Short fic inspired by recent series 3 pics of Matthew playing cricket with the family. In which Matthew scores the winning run and Mary gives him a back rub. Married fluff. *Thank you, anonymous reviewer who pointed out the correct terminology. It is appreciated. ;

Mary and Matthew have been married for a few years. When receiving an invitation to a Costume Ball, Mary gets inspired to try some intimate changes, something which has Matthew quite worried. **Silliness, naughtiness and nosy family members.**
