This is my take on the 5th series. Mostly Robert/Cora but all most all major characters make an appearance. Major character death. You've been warned.
Violet and Patrick as five-year-old's, when they first decide to get married. It's just silly, really. No harsh words, please. I just wanted to write some very pre-Downton fic featuring Violet as a child.
This is a drabble inspired by a behind the scenes photo of Elsie on the Servants hall table and Charles standing near her. You can find it on Tumblr or Downton Abbey Instagram. Enjoy!

Slightly AU version of what could have happened with a favorite Butler and Housekeeper. Basically this makes me smile and I hope is does the same for you.
My slightly late entry for the Be My (Cobert) Valentine exchange. Robert and Cora go skating and it's not the picture perfect Valentine's Day either wanted. Word: armour T, but bordering on M.
