Summary
Downton Abbey, 1920
Sybil finds herself back in her childhood home after the burning of Drumgoole Castle put an abrupt end to their simple but fulfilling life in Dublin, and her husband's life too. Now, she's once more trapped in an existence without purpose, fighting for any shred of individuality.
Edith is desperately trying to regain her footing after the unspeakable tragedy that was her wedding. But, as Granny reminds her, she's a woman with brains and reasonable ability. She should be capable of finding something to do, something that will finally give her a purpose and some appreciation.
Mary and Matthew are in love and freshly married. From the outside looking in, their lives are perfect, if it weren't for the matter of an heir – and that, surely, can only be a matter of time. But for all that Matthew left the battlefield behind years ago, it still haunts him more than he lets anyone see.

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!”

Summary
Mary and Anna fall in love. How could they not? It's a slow burn and then it gets serious- however- I promise they have a happy ending. Listen. Is this accurate? No. Is this what would have happened? No. But I so want it to be. I want them to be together. There's like three people Mary loves and one of them is Anna and that is canon accurate to the show. Anyways. I'm also not very good at posting on this website. So.
They fall in love and it's messy because of course it is? I also wrote this in a huge chunk and it's not done but I am so invested in this story it's like the only thing keeping me going so there will be other chapters I won't give up until it's finished and in fact in might be annoying how much further I take it. So here. Mary Crawley and Anna fall in love.

Summary
“It’s the art of pretending, Matthew,” Mary said seriously, though there was a playful gleam in her eye. “As I’m sure you’re aware, we aristocrats do it wonderfully.”
“I’m sure you do. However, I wasn’t under the impression identity fraud fell under that category.” Matthew retaliated, earning a barely stifled laugh from Mary.

“You must tell me,” says Rosamund, from the moment they are alone in the vast but confining parlour; a maid has poured them both tea, but Mary knows the freshly brewed pot will be unceremoniously tipped down the sink in an hour or two. “What has he done to you, Mary?”
“Nothing and everything,” she answers. They are entering unfamiliar territory, and Mary cannot help but flail a little as she sinks into the depths of darkening water. “To be completely honest with you, I’m not quite sure.”

Summary
The war is lost. Voldemort has won, and Harri Potter is dragged from the ashes with Hermione, Luna, Ginny, and baby Teddy in her arms. Their last hope is a broken time turner, one that Theo died to give them.
Fleeing Voldemort's hunters, the survivors are cast a century into the past. England is between wars, society gilded but restless, and whispers of Grindelwald's movement are spreading across Europe. With nowhere else to turn, Harri and her companions arrive in Yorkshire, where the stately Crawley family of Downton Abbey find themselves unsettled by strange women haunting the abandoned Peverell Estate.
As the two worlds brush against each other-Muggle and magical, aristocracy and outcasts-the fugitives must decide their purpose in this new time while carrying the question of what to do about a young Tom Riddle, Harri and her friends must forge a new kind of survival.
A sweeping crossover of magic, history, and heart, this tale blends the opulence of Downton Abbey with the shadows of the Wizarding World, asking: what if the only way to save the future was to rewrite the past?
