  • A Poem for Love

    Short exploration of the end of Coriolanus and Lucy Gray's relationship. Oneshot, or more accurately, a sonnet with context.

  • Time Doesn't Stop

    A series of oneshots about what it's like at home while the Heroes are at Stalag 13.

  • Crushed and Carrying On

    Another fic for James Gillies because even though he's terrible, he's so much fun to write about. Oneshot set after 7.9 (A Midnight Train to Kingston). CW: chronic pain & mentions of suicide.

  • The Children

    We know Sergeant Schultz first and foremost as a guard… But we also know that he is a husband and a father. Oneshot set before he takes on his role at Stalag Thirteen, exploring Schultz's more family-oriented side and his unwillingness to see/hear/know anything. "You don't have to thank me," -DeathThouShaltDie, who I definitely need to thank for beta-ing this piece.

  • What's in a Name?

    It can be scary to be alone with someone you don't know, but it's worse when that someone is you. Oneshot, rated T for mild swearing.

  • It Is To Grow

    A set of drabbles focused on Demelza and her interactions/relationships with others; all set during season one and roughly chronological.

  • The Paradise's Perils

    Set at the end of season one, here's a poem from Moray's point of view inspired by the complications of his romantic exploits. It's a little disjointed, but I think that adds to the effect.

  • A Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day

    Literally just a oneshot about Watts because I love him. Set during/around season ten, when Watts was new to Station House No. 4. EDIT: It was going to be a oneshot, but Watts (and you, my readers) deserve more than that. Enjoy :)

  • Three Thirds

    A series of random drabbles following the Crawley sisters from childhood through to adulthood (each section IS one hundred words- the word count is inflated by section headers).

  • What Makes a Woman

    Katherine appears to be a spoiled, manipulative woman who will try to take unfair advantage of whatever situation she finds herself in. Some people find her intriguing and admirable, but powerful men know she is a threat… A threat that they themselves made.

  • Just As We Should Be

    Throughout the first few episodes of season one, Detective Murdoch frequently mentioned his late fiancee, Liza Milner. What if she hadn't died before they had a chance to get married?

  • Changing Everything

    The simple things in life are far more significant than they seem. Inspired by the words of Gwen Harding (nee Dawson) in season six, when she returns to Downton with her husband.

  • Carry More Baggage

    A poem (villanelle) about the strength it must take for Detective Murdoch and Doctor Ogden to have a happy marriage.

  • A Sonnet for Sisterhood

    Sonnets are usually for romantic love, but I think sisterly love is equally as deserving of poetic sentiments. Here's a sonnet inspired by Angelica and Eliza's relationship in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton.

  • Spring Sonnet 1

    A sonnet written from Mary's point of view, showing her softer side as she talks about her 'true love,' Matthew.
