Eleven years after his miraculous recovery and return to Downton, Matthew Crawley is enjoying his just desserts. Blessed with an enviable marriage, two healthy children and Downton standing strong, it seems his good fortune knows no bounds. Then a request made by Martha Levinson, his wife Mary's American grandmother, results in rough waters ahead that will be hard to navigate.

He raises his head to look at the ambulance driver and freezes in shock, certain that he finally has snapped, that his mind could not take it anymore and went straight into hallucination. The driver is a woman, not an uncommon sight those days, but this particular woman has no business being here, in the middle of most literal hell. "Mary?" he rasps, disbelieving.

Arbitration: the settling of differences between parties by a person or persons chosen or agreed to by them. In this modern day fic, Mary receives the news that the man she loves is engaged to another and is bringing his new fiancee to her family home to meet everyone. Mary reflects on the news and her feelings regarding it.

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

A little silly but actually based on an idea I had when I first watched s1. What if someone (Sybil) had locked M M in a room together during the garden party so they could sort everything out? I have seen some variations of the garden party fix but not this specific scenario that has been in my head for years.

March 1912 - a baby is abandoned at the doors of Downton Abbey. Servant Thomas Barrow agrees to claim paternity for the foundling. The story mainly revolves around Thomas and his daughter, but the other characters also play a role in every chapter. The characters don't belong to me, only the OC does.

Following the events of 'Dark Clouds And Silver Linings', something is wrong with Richard. Thomas experiences how his other half crumbles as trauma thought long hidden, resurfaces. How far will Richard fall? Can Thomas and his friends catch Richard before he falls to far? Deep wounds need to be mended...somehow. TW war, ptsd, trauma

Mary becomes a lawyer herself and celebrates with both Mathew and Sybil. Also includes sprinkles of Violet snark, Cobert moments, and references to independent Edith. Consequence and Control universe, after the war ends.

Summer of 1930 is approaching. Carson and Elsie are finally both retiring and they are celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary. Robert and Cora are giving them a unique gift.

Petite collection de moments dits, évoqués, qui auraient pu se passer dans le canon de la série mais qui n'ont pas été montrés dans la série.

A young girl from the 21st century where Downton Abbey doesn't exist on the TV, ends up in the world of Downton Abbey. Not a typical one where it is another Crawley sister or where she's from a world where Downton Abbey is a TV show. Published on Ao3 and Wattpad.

Spero di riempire in modo soddisfacente i vuoti, soprattutto tra Charles e Elsie, che non abbiamo visto...

She thought that some things were done, but life has some new adventures for her! Modern AU!

modern AU -Robert's friend and fellow soldier, John Bates is moving to Downton with his new wife Meanwhile Robert's own wife becomes overwhelmed by her job. cobert and Banna.

It is that time of year again. The anniversary of that fateful night at the concert has rolled around once more and Johnny Bates, for the first time, is made aware of the brutality his mother was made to face. Able to see how much she is struggling, he is determined to help her through and - with the help of his father - he may just be able to do that.

It was the most basic fact of their relationship. He loved Anna more than she loved him. Or, at least, so he'd thought.

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).

The year may have started mild but for Elsie and Charlie the early weeks of 1926 might just prove a little chillier than they'd anticipated. There's his upcoming retirement, a poorly relative, and then the more mundane challenge of keeping away those winter blues. But surely they can rely on love to keep them warm, can't they?

Ou quelques textes sur un comte anglais et sa riche épouse américaine.

Phillip Strallan never expected his son to disgrace the family by divorcing his wife. But when the unexpected does happen, Phillip decides that the boy clearly can't be trusted to manage his own affairs. Who more sensible to reform him than Edith Crawley, whose fiance has just died at the Front? A WW1!AU with an alive Phillip, a divorced Anthony and a thoroughly modern Edith...

What happened between s3 ep8 and 9? Plus an extension of what I think of as the original series with Matthew and Sybil still alive, somewhat canon compliant exploration of s4 if they had lived. Our favourite trio of sisters being happy and teasing each other, but they don’t mean it. Fluffy and romantic M M but not boring by any means.

A collection of Cobert one-shots throughout the series where every chapter is centred around a colour and its symbols.

While the Crawley's deal with the lingering effects of the depression, Robert struggles with Edward VIII decision to abdicate. Meanwhile, Tom struggles with his identity again after the new Irish Constitution. Amidst it all, Sybbie is coming of age. Main parings will be Cobert and Tom/Lucy but some Mary/Henry (because Robert lives with both, and Tom works with both).

Missing scene. A surprise from his wife and son brings out unexpected emotions in John Bates.

AU - Lady Florence Crawley is Mary Crawley's twin sister. The two are as different as night and day. Florence is more attentive to the needs of her family and their estate. Mary is all about position for herself. When the heir and Mar's fiancée perish on the Titanic a new heir is invited to meet them, but he has his sights set on sweet Florence.
