1920's Paris AU. Lady Mary has fled to Paris to forget her past. When she runs into her old love Matthew Crawley, she has to decide if she is ready for a future worth remembering. Very late submission for the M/M AU Fest.

"Let Battle Commence" "Wait- what's that?" Two years after Matthew's death, Mary notices a figure on the street that looks uncannily like Matthew. Is it possible that, against all odds, Matthew is still alive?
