Masterlist of Responses
My dear, my dear, it is not so dreadful here by 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 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 screamlet - "Lavinia, what about London?" Matthew asks as he clasps my hands.

it's you season by dollsome - "It's tradition," Mary says. "It's barbaric," Lavinia says.

Scandals Bear No Meaning by 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 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.

"Is Matthew really why you came back?"

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

AU! Cora lives through the flu, but this time Lavinia is well and it is Matthew who dies. Hurt/Comfort please!

"...throw over your man, and we’ll ... come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come."

Crossover with Upstairs/Downstairs.
After Blanche's scandal two women still frequent the Hollands residence without qualms.

Matthew brings back Amelia (as seen here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/346712) & here (http://dollsome.livejournal.com/1760940.html)) following Lavinia running away with Mary for a bit. When the whole family is once again gathered Matthew is paranoid about leaving Amelia alone with Mary. Hilarity ensues.

Robert and Cora react to The Truth About Mary/Lavinia.

[lady-with-cats.livejournal.com]

matriarchy AU, Lavinia is engaged-to-be-engaged to the heiress Lady Mary, gossip rags.

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

Mary and Lavinia discuss just what it is Matthew sees in Amelia, anyway.

(Because I must admit, I am totally intrigued by this mystery woman who Mary finds unbearable, Lavinia finds not precisely charming, and yet Matthew finds lovable enough to marry.)

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

2.08 AU - Lavinia breaks things off with Matthew, does not die of the Spanish Flu, and goes back to London, leaving Matthew and Mary to their happy ending. But that isn't the last time she and Mary cross paths.

dun dun DUNNNN!

(... I originally typed 'cross baths.' Even my typos are shippin' it.)

Mary is in a car-crash, can Lavinia keep her alive?
