The story of Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson if they had chosen from the start to be together in every way. This story starts in 1896 and follows this couple through the years. I do not own the rights to Downton Abbey.

Set after Season 3 Episode 5, this short story will explore a slightly different turn of events following the tragic death of Sybil Crawley hours after childbirth.

What if Robert didn't change his mind when he fired Bates? What if Anna still pursued him? What if Bates got his knee fixed and returned to the Army? Answers inside. R/R please.

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 with a series of one shots - but only for the purposes of delving into more Chelsie goodness.

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.

A series of Cobert drabbles/one-shots using the Victorian practice of floriography as inspiration. (all rated M-MA - if you do not like smut or the insinuation of such, this is not for you lol)

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!

Unfortunately, Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes' wedding does not take place as planned due to an argument the evening before. Set at the beginning of Season 6, after Mrs. Patmore has clarified Mr. Carson's intentions and Mrs. Hughes declared that "he can have her." Attention: Some M rated chapters ahead!

Daisy would have been very young when she started work at Downton Abbey in 1912, probably no more than 12 or 13, and not yet begun to educate herself as she did in later years. This is Daisy's story told in her own words and with her own grammatical errors.

AU. Before Robert became Lord Grantham, Cora receives an inheritance from her uncle: shares in an oil company & a large cattle ranch in Texas. With the assets worth more than the Abbey, the family embarks on a journey west to take control of these assets. But what if after the ranch is theirs, they don't want to leave? The Crawleys decide to embrace their new lives as ranchers.

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.

Robert Crawley meets the charming and beautiful Miss Cora Levinson during the London Season at a ball hosted by the Earl and Countess of Emberfall. Though they take an instant liking to each other, they both end up marrying different people. Twenty-four years later, under difficult circumstances, they meet again. Will love conquer all, or will their current spouses hold them back?

This is just going to be a series of drabbles, covering all six series, that either create new Cobert scenes, or extend the ones we saw in the show. Mainly fluffy Cobert, but I haven't been able to resist the occasional angsty one.

- a random collection of Cobert drabbles and one-shots -

John Bates works as a clothier and consultant at his own firm while trying to muster up the courage to flirt with local chef and restaurateur, Anna Smith.

If Anna thought about it, this was where she was always headed. Home. The long way round.

"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.

On the last night of her unmarried life, Elsie is thinking about how she will be affected with a change from being Mrs Hughes to Mrs Carson.
