A rather unimaginatively named response to the Mistletoe Challenge posed by Onesimus and Batwings79. Carson/Hughes, fluffiness. Rated T, just to be safe. Please review!

From ep 2.7 slight divergence from 2.8. Sybil and Branson are apart and Sybil wonders how long she will have to wait for them to be together again. Edith befriends Richard Armitage. Evelyn Napier comes for blood sports.

Mary has been frightened of storms since she was a child. A story that spirals from that really! One I wrote in one go in a couple of hours trying to avoid uni essays... :S

When I saw my love go through the church door, I followed along with my heart full of woe For now she is wed to another... Matthew's feelings at having to watch Mary walk down the aisle to marry a man who isn't him. Post S2 MxM

Or rather four little oneshots about our favourite nurse and doctor. Series 2 spoilers only for parts 3 and 4 to come.

4 women, one place. Every Friday night, Mary, Edith, Sybil and Anna convene at The Barhouse. Where they proceed to drink and complain about their lives. Listen to their stories and tales about their love lives and other important goings on.

Set after the season 1 finale, before the start of season 2. I used the song Guns and Roses by Ellie Goulding, because it's a beautiful song and from Branson's P.O.V I think it's relatable to their relationship. Anyways, enjoy!

Sybil and Branson, set after the episode of Sybil's new dress in season 1.

Part of the Mistletoe Challenge. No spoilers. Crack fic. Charles & Elsie have to deal with a drunken Mrs. Patmore

This is just a little thought on what hands can mean and what they make you feel.

Carson/Hughes' wedding, from Mr Carson's eyes. What he would say to her if he could speak his mind easily. Oneshot.

A story about Matthew; a ramble, if you will. Spoilers for 2x07.

Mary has to learn archery, Matthew helps... story hopefully better than the summary! Set Series One, probably between bench flirting and the kiss

A slight reworking of the near kiss between anna and bates

Bates is not feeling well - so takes some time out to have some fresh air and think about his new life. Fluff alert! Obvious Anna/Bates pairing. Set some time after ep 8 if things go the way I desire...

That you could not make people love you any more than they already did, no matter how you might try - that sometimes, things were simply not fair. That her life, it seemed, was one of those things.

Anna gives herself one night to wallow after the events of episode 2.08. A little Anna character exploration.

A dance and a confession. A missing S/B moment set after 2.03.

With the proposal done, Anna is happy and confident enough, to get more intimate with John. Of course he doesn't know about her decision. No, she just pulls him into the laundry room and shows him. Pure fluff

In the trenches, Matthew thinks of Mary. One-shot.

A shock-pairing oneshot, but with hints of Carson/Hughes too. Unlikely oneshot. THe end of a mismatched affair.

Just a simple S/B oneshot rewrite of 2x03 when Branson tries to "assassinate" the guest at dinner. What if Sybil found the note and tried to stop him? Some S/B fluffiness and general cuteness. Read, Enjoy, and Review! 3

An alternative version of events at the Swan Inn. Nominated for a 2014 Highclere Award! Wow! Thank you guys!

Mary, Anna and Mrs Hughes contemplate how they should've seen it coming. They should've seen what was really happening between Sybil and Branson. Doesn't actually contain S and B, but it talks about their relationship.

Branson muses about when he knew he was in love with Lady Sybil through the earlier episodes of their acquaintance. Particularly missing scenes from 1.4 & 1.5. Not necessarily tightly written, but rather done to try to sate my pangs for Tom/Sybil-ness.
