I've always been fascinated by the fandom theory that Edith Crawley is actually Lady Rosamund's illigitimate daughter. This is my take on that in my usual verbose, meandering style. Now Rated M, for Marriage (and the things married people do).

How much do we really know about the senior Mrs Bates? How much do we really know about John Bates' upbringing aside from it being 'impossible' as he once admitted to Rose? Come take a dive into their past and see what shaped them both into the people they are today. Experience both the highs and lows with them and, most important of all, the unbreakable bond of mother and son.

Matthew Crawley did not die in a car crash on the day his son was born. Robert did. Season 4 AU.

Collection of my Cobert Flufftober, originally posted on tumblr and based on "gentle love" prompts from tumblr. Cobert in multiple mostly fluffy settings during the show, pre-canon, and post-canon. With a little autumn theme to it. God, I'm bad at summaries

Still in the midst of grief for Matthew, Mary's first thought when finding herself in her old red bedroom on the morning of April 15th, 1912 is that she is having a very realistic, but weird dream.

When widower and father Charles Carson comes to Downton Abbey, he develops a relationship with the family he serves. Over time, he is quite taken with a certain housekeeper.

An unexpected discovery gives Elsie an idea, one that might just help the long suffering wives of the downstairs.

Attempting some Banna and Baxley with this one, along with the Chelsie (obviously!)

It's the first night after Cora's pregnancy was announced and neither her nor her husband can believe just how lucky they are. A short fluffy piece that looks deeper in Robert and Cora's reactions to Cora's pregnancy and their adoration for each other.

At first I wanted to make Banna happier in cannon. Then I thought about the larger picture, and things got a little out of hand. And then I decided to change about everything. So here is Downton Abbey, reloaded. There will be less drama and more happiness, generally.

The bet between Mary and Edith after the salty pudding dinner takes a different shape... And the game between the sisters is definitely on.
