A series of A-Z Chelsie Christmas prompts inspired by Chelsie Fan. Not every letter will be covered but as many of them as possible will be. Carson and Hughes with other characters making appearances.
This is a series of vignettes based on how Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes observe the other's voice the first time they have the occasion to hear the other express anger, guilt, fear, passion, consternation, silence, etc. The rating begins as a K but will change to a M as the story progresses. The chapters will form a complete story as we move along.
Sybbie Branson has questions about her mother, her father, and Miss Bunting. Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson try to answer them. A one-shot.
A tragedy befalls Downton and Miss Baxter helps Mr. Carson cope.
Modern AU: EM Hughes is a novelist who writes historical fiction and Charles Carson is a retired cricketer who is now a sports presenter, a color commentary man (whose on air partner is one Charlie Grigg). You will see the familiar characters albeit in different roles. This is the story of how they met and the long road that is their relationship.

In response to chelsie-anon's prompt: She was due any moment & Charles Carson wanted everything to be perfect. All that was left was to clean the kitchen.

This story is a compilation of four chapters taken from Chelsie Christmas A-Z. These chapters were part of an AU in which Charles Carson and Elsie Hughes were married and are shop owners in Downton Village. There is no new material here but this is just a way to organize the chapters that were spread across a broader series of story prompts.

Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes invest in a cottage and in their relationship. Mild Series 5 spoilers.
Latest response to the Chelsie-anon prompt. "Mrs. Hughes?" He found her standing in the darkness, staring out as the rain lashed against the library windows. He worried; she had been winding herself tighter and tighter over the past week or so, ever since that first visit from Sergeant Willis.
Mrs. Hughes is upset and Mr. Carson tries to comfort her. This is in response to a chelsie-anon prompt from Tumblr. It is inspired by the recent release of photos from the Series 5 filming in Bampton of the War Memorial scenes. Slightly spolier-ish.
