so happy together | downton abbey, mary/lavinia (part 2)

so happy together - Matthew gets engaged. Mary is heartbroken. (But will only cry in front of Carson, of course.) And then Mary meets Lavinia, and everything changes. A series of modern AU vignettes.

Part 1

( Part 2 - Somehow, Mary’s invitation to take Matthew and Lavinia out to dinner turns into Matthew and Lavinia being invited to Mary’s parents’ house for dinner. And the whole bloody family invites itself along too. )

give me hope in silence (Tyrion/Sansa)

Brief author babble!: I've always had a pesky soft spot for Tyrion/Sansa, and I really love what the show does with their dynamic. In particular, I was so surprised by (and super into!!!) how friendly they were for their brief happy period in the season three finale, so this is a bit of speculation re: what might have brought their relationship to that point.

In my head this follows for our sleeping girls and new and sharp with many teeth, though you don't have to read them to get this.


give me hope in silence - Game of Thrones ; Tyrion/Sansa ; 2,700 words. Sansa grows used to her marriage - and her husband.

( And all you can do is promise me bold / that you won't let me grow dark or cold-- )
