Matthew & Mary in AU Season 2

Mary makes a decision with broad ramifications. Slight spoilers for S2 and major angst.

My take on Carson/Hughes relationship. Winner of a Highclere Award.

In the aftermath of the Somme, Matthew tries to drive out his demons. But is it really what he wants? Can he escape the ghost of his past? Vague s2 spoilers, majorly angsty smut warning.

They are putting on Twelfth Night, thinking- mistakingly- that it might be a little bit easier the second time around.

Just a bit of Sybil/Branson fluff about Branson going to fight! Complete fluff and hopefully completely adorable!

In which John visits a lingerie store, William gets to taste Anna's cups, Carson gets cheeky and Anna discovers exactly what John meant by calling her a "naughty girl." We do not own these characters.

Inspired by the song from the musical "Chess". Tom Branson contemplates about love, politics, war and the contradiction in his heart.

In which the servants have a drinking contest, and everyone from Upstairs decides to join them. (Utter, utter crack. Of the highest degree.)

An 'Out-take' from Lavender and Hay's the Merry Wives of Downton Negotiate an Encore.

Or, "The Failed Loves of Mr. Evelyn Napier"

What would Anna have done if Lord Grantham had dispensed with Bates' services? Just how far would she go to be with him? Set after Episode 6 and an alternative way their story could have gone. FINAL CHAPTER NOW UP!
