Downton Abbey Imagines and One Shots

Sybil Crawley- Love Will Prevail (c)

You were a visitor at Downton Abbey, there on behalf of your Father. Even though you were supposed to be there on official business, you were more than happy to take up the offer of visiting just so you could see your girlfriend. No one knew of course. It was frowned upon for two women to be together and you certainly didn't want to be forced away from her, so you were to pretend you were simply friends and nothing more.

Whilst you were at Downton, you did your best to keep your focus on the business you were there for but you couldn't help but share longing looks with Sybil across the dinner table everynight. You were unable to find a moment alone together not until the afternoon.

The two of you were walking with her sisters through the entranceway after having an afternoon stroll when she begun to drop, clinging onto you for support.

"Sybil?" You questioned, doing your best to hold her up.

"Sybil are you okay?" Mary asked.

She nodded her head slightly, getting back onto her feet.

"I suddenly feel faint," she said gently. "Y/N, would you mind escorting me to the drawing room. I think I may need to sit for a moment."

"Do you wish for me to call Dr Clarkson? Are you sure you're not unwell," Edith said.

Sybil shook her head. "Do not worry sisters. I just need to rest. Please tell Carson to make sure no one disturbs me for a while."

"Of course," Mary smiled. "I do wish you better Sybil."

The elder two Crawley sisters left the two of you, as you made your way to the nearby Drawing Room. As soon as the door was closed, Sybil grinned at you, leaning in to press her lips to yours.

"I have missed you my Love," she smiled warmly.

Your cheeks became redder than ever as you couldn't help but smile at her. You missed her so much and wished you didn't have to hide what you felt.

"I have missed you too. I wish we didn't have to hide from the world," you whispered.

She moved her hand to cup your cheek lovingly.

"I wish we could scream our love from the rooftops as you mean the world to me. However, the world cannot handle our love yet, but they will one day," she smiled reassuringly.

"Maybe one day," you sighed hoping it would get better one day.

Sybil pressed her lips to yours gently.

"They cannot prosecute love forever. One day love with prevail."
