Anna comes home after getting caught in a rainstorm, and Mr. Bates is there to greet her.
Following the birth of their first child, Anna and John discuss their future.
One evening, Anna finds herself in the servants' hall with His Lordship's valet, and she can't help but watch as he mends a pair of socks.
Lately, Mr. Carson's noticed a change in Anna- ever since the house party, she's been more jumpy, more withdrawn, and less sociable than usual-and he's determined to find out what happened, even if he has to ask her himself. Based on "Off Balance," a thread between idontpretendtobealady and carson-thebutler-speaking on tumblr. Trigger warning for later chapters.
John surprises Anna with a special gift. Fluffy oneshot/drabble focusing on the idea of gift-giving, and inspired by a headcanon that I have about Anna and John's shared interests. Takes place during S1/S2
