a.k.a. the [livejournal.com profile] oltha_heri and [livejournal.com profile] oliveoyl and i get an excuse to post lots of prompts ficathon


It's a legit thing, okay! The world needs all the Mary/Lavinia adventures.

rules (?)
+ One prompt per comment. Feel free to submit as many prompt-comments as you'd like. The more the better! If you'd prefer platonic fic to shippy fic, just specify that in your comment.

+ If you respond to a prompt, include a title in the subject line of your comment if you are using a lj layout that has subject lines. If you're not, please put that same information at the top of your comment.

+ Okay, that's as authoritative as I feel like being right now!

+ Spread the word:




Masterlist of Responses
My dear, my dear, it is not so dreadful here by [livejournal.com profile] oltha_heri - You reach out a hand, slowly oh so slowly you inch closer to the porcelain skin of her wrist, and then dark eyes are fixed on you.

with grace in all she offers by [livejournal.com profile] dollsome - You are Lady Mary Crawley. Cold and careful, soulless and heartless. Selfish. Thorn-sharp to those who would stand in your way.

throw over your man, i say, and come by [livejournal.com profile] screamlet - "Lavinia, what about London?" Matthew asks as he clasps my hands.

it's you season by [livejournal.com profile] dollsome - "It's tradition," Mary says. "It's barbaric," Lavinia says.

Scandals Bear No Meaning by [livejournal.com profile] femme_slash_fan (crossover with Upstairs/Downstairs) - The fact that Agnes Holland had stood by her good friend and, for the moment, only company at home, had meant a lot to Blanche Mottershead.

The Truth Will Out by [livejournal.com profile] femme_slash_fan - Lavinia had come to Mary’s side when she called, gently taking her hand, feeling the girl’s trembles and gently squeezing her hand.

Sorry 'bout the double reply but...

Awesome.

So if this got turned into how everyone finds out eventually, how would you feel? (This would basically be an extension on the Paris adventures + some time at Downton.)

I WOULD FEEL INCANDESCENTLY JOYFUL!

The Truth Will Out.
By Ros Sawyer.
Mary/Lavinia & Robert/Jane, hinted Cora/Sarah.

Lavinia had come to Mary’s side when she called, gently taking her hand, feeling the girl’s trembles and gently squeezing her hand. She knew at least one was likely to panic or be angry and yet, she didn’t mind facing it. She was going to be there for Mary, no matter what happened.

She was thankful when Robert spoke first. She had a feeling that his, not so discreet, affair with Jane had affected him. His words had been quietly spoken and cautious, thoughtful to say the least.

“Well… I can’t say I’m impressed… however… if she makes you happy I can’t exactly forbid it, I’ve already lost one daughter, I won’t lose another.”

Mary had shivered a little and allowed Lavinia to pull her closer. She had smiled as she leant into Lavinia slightly. She had waited nervously for her mother’s response. She had a feeling she knew what was coming, if her father was calm it was generally her mother who reacted badly.

She had watched Cora rise, silently praying that she would be careful and not hurt herself even if she was likely to hurt her own daughter. As it was Cora spoke gently, turning to look at her daughter before she took a drink of the wine she’d poured herself.

“Does she make you happy?”

“Yes. She does.”

“Then I can’t be angry with you can I?”

“Mother?”

“I wouldn’t deny you happiness Mary.”

“Thank you.”

Cora had said nothing, finishing her wine and excusing herself.

Lavinia had smiled slightly, thanking Robert again before leading Mary from the room, speaking softly.

“You know, we really should thank O’Brien.”
