Summary
Despite being disapproving of the new heir, Thomas Barrow finds himself enamoured with the spare. Matthew Crawley’s younger brother, Nicholas.

This will follow canon to the best of my ability, but change a few things- such as storylines that don’t make much sense with the appearance of a second Crawley brother and ones that I just don’t like.

Summary
When Patrick Crawley died, he killed the plans of all the Crawley ladies. When Matthew Crawley arrived, Mary Crawley realised she needed a new plan. Only she seems to have the worst of luck as every time she thinks she's set a new course, life throws her another challenge. Edith tries to make sense of it all. Sybil has life (almost) figured out.
Or
Mary Crawley is a bit more mature. Matthew Crawley is a bit more understanding. Robert Crawley might as well be speaking a different language from that of his daughters. The Crawley sisters get along fabulously, and it all makes all the difference. The rest of Downton can only try to catch-up.

Summary
Lying in the bottom of a too shallow foxhole while bullet after German bullet whistled over his head had sadly become an all too common occurrence for Thomas.
Lying in the bottom of a shallow foxhole with William Mason pressed against up against him on one side, Matthew Crawley against the other, and Lord Grantham sprawled in the mud at their feet though? That was a little bit more unusual.
“Well then chaps,” the Lord turned Lieutenant-Colonel huffed with entirely too much forced cheer. “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m solidly of the opinion that we’re utterly ruddy ballocksed!”
