How did Sybbie start calling poor Robert "Donk"? And why does the nickname send Mary and Tom into giggles? My personal exploration. (Hints of Tom/Mary, but only if your shipper goggles have superpowers. Practically platonic.)

In this series of one-shots I explore different facets of Mary and Tom's relationship through responses to a-tardis-at-downton's tumblr challenge. Mainly fluffy drabbles. Enjoy!

Season 5 AU. Written by request. Mary realizes she doesn't love Tony one night into their Liverpool escapade, but will running into Tom that same night change her plans for the future? Every man who falls for her ends up hurt- can she risk hurting another on the chance of finally achieving happiness?

A Roman Holiday AU Mary, Princess of Downton, runs away in the middle of a political tour of Europe. When Tom, an intrepid reporter, finds her wandering through Rome, sparks fly. But what will happen when Mary's duty to the crown threatens to pull them apart, and their lies crash down upon them? (Written for mimilestrange on Tumblr- xo darling)

Drabble. Tom reflects on his love for Sybil and how (or if) it affects his relationship with Mary. Could be considered melancholy fluff.

Have a Merry Brary Christmas! A little Christmas drabble that turned into a short.

AU- Mary met Matthew in London before the events of the series and they fell in love. Mary must save Downton however, and they part tearfully. But fate pulls them back together in an unexpected way. Can they keep their previous affair from their families as they try to get together again?

Mary and Tom spend the weekend together. (Modern AU, one-shot)
