"These Cherished Chapters" is a fic where each chapter is a standalone glimpse into Charles and Elsie's life - whether it be domestic fluff, romance, smut, or anything else in between. Or, in other words, a place for me to display every small bit of Chelsie goodness I write that has nowhere else to go. Rated-T for now but note that it is subject to change.

A sequel to 'A Scandalous Affair'. Mary and Tom are now married and living in Dublin

e via con la seconda stagione

With their wedding still some months away, Elsie and Charles stumble their way through their engagement with mere cups of tea to sustain them whilst they work out exactly how this is ever going to work. An in-canon tale that stretches the time frame seen in the show but only for the purposes of delving into more Chelsie goodness.

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.

Poor Edith was the ugly, jealous middle daughter. No one’s favorite, always alone, she was a character on the show she never thought much about. Until she woke up in her body. Trapped in this world, can she change the story and protect those she loves? Perhaps she can become more than Poor Edith, and be the Perfect Edith for Downton. This story is also posted on AO3. (Self-Insert)

Setting: 4x7; before the Crawley family travels to London. Since Mrs. Hughes gave the frame with the photo of Alice to Mr. Carson, the matter keeps upsetting her. In another sleepless night she makes up her mind about what to do, while Mr. Carson ponders over his feelings. Will she open up to him? Has he got feelings for her? And what about the photo?

Anthony went through with the wedding. We begin with the wedding night and fast forward through the years. This is M because it focuses on certain activities but it is not explicit. OK, need to amend that. Apparently it is a bit explicit, maybe more than a little. Not full on smut though... well, maybe a little?

Just some drabbles, about things happening in the series or movies. I am also adding scenes that may not been seen in the show, but they take place in between the scenes that we have seen. (I also added drabbles, that link back to the series, but are not necessary scenes in between.)

"Et cela ne sera pas la seule journée. Je te le jure. Nous la connaîtrons, elle et tant d'autres. Dans deux jours, ces journées de bonheur seront de nouveau à nous." ou Anna et Bates rêvent du jour où ce dernier sera libéré.

Robert 25, Cora 22. Both work for their fathers and have to work together. They cannot stand each other, and see their promised future evaporate in front of their eyes. Modern AU story.

For full summary, see beginning of Prologue (too long to post). January 1933, and Thomas, Richard and co are faced with several different scenarios centred around family issues, which can be complicated at times. In order to solve their problems, friends must come together.

Till Death Do Us Part; A while into their marriage Elsie makes a discovery that she fears might end their happiness before it has even had time to begin...Will the Carsons survive through life's tragedies together? Rated-T for strong themes but the rating may be subject to change in certain chapters as the story goes on. A warning is given in each chapter where one is needed.

Drabbles set in the late 1930s and early 1940s...

Charles and Elsie are both reminiscing most wild moments of their marriage and pre-marriage intimacy and they are wondering, why the initial heat has vanished. Is it still possible to go back and restore the passion?

After the biggest trauma of her life, Mary finds compassion and support from an unlikely source.

Mr. Carsons und Mrs. Hughes Hochzeit findet auf Grund einer Auseinandersetzung am Vorabend leider nicht wie geplant statt. Spielt zu Beginn von Staffel 6, nachdem Mrs. Patmore Klarheit in die Absichten von Mr. Carson gebracht hat und Mrs. Hughes erklärt hat, dass "er sie haben kann". Achtung M rated!

After a nasty divorce, John Bates moves to Downton and accepts a post as a librarian at Downton Abbey High School where he meets Anna Smith, an english teacher. This new start in life promises to be more than he wished for

For her first London Season, Sybil has another ambition to prove - that women and men can actually be friends. In a budding Yorkshire musician, she finds the complicated answer.

Cora had been feeling unwell for weeks leading up to their trip to France. Back home, she had Doctor Clarkson run some tests and the results are not at all what she had hoped. How will she cope with this new reality, and will she be able to help Robert and their daughters to come to terms with it? This is a *slightly* altered ending to A New Era

Sybil hadn’t been acting herself. It was only a matter of time before they started asking what was wrong. She thought she would be able to lie to them, but she was honest to a fault. Not to mention the last person she wished to lie to was Tom. His asking what was wrong was the only reason she told anyone. (Trigger warnings inside) (title from Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi)

After being in prison for more than a year, John Bates decides to participate in the prison's pen pal program. When Anna Smith is assigned to him, will they both find comfort in a handwritten love?

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.

The telegram has reached him near the Somme in March 1916. Papa is dead STOP You're the Earl now STOP Funeral planned March 15 STOP Let us know if you can get leave STOP If not let us know how you wish to proceed with everything STOP Mary. Or how Mary and Matthew's reunion during the war could have looked like if Robert died before the Battle of Somme.
