A Downton Abbey fanfic In the winter of 1898, a mysterious bundle is left on the steps of Downton Abbey-an infant girl of Chinese heritage, swaddled in silk and with no clue to her origins beyond a jade pendant tucked into her blanket. Moved by compassion, Lord and Lady Grantham adopt the child and name her Antea Li Crawley, raising her alongside their own daughters as the youngest Crawley girl. Despite whispers in the village and the rigid expectations of Edwardian society, Antea grows into a poised and brilliant young woman, deeply loyal to her family and determined to find her place in a world that never quite knows what to make of her. By 1917, as the First World War casts its long shadow across England, Downton Abbey has been converted into a convalescent home. Now nineteen, Antea trains as a nurse under her strong-willed sister Sybil, tending to wounded soldiers with grace and tenacity. Amid the chaos of war, she finds an unlikely ally in Thomas Barrow, the wounded footman turned medical orderly, who has returned to Downton after taking a bullet to the back of his hand on the front lines. Antea and Thomas-both outsiders in their own ways-strike up a tentative friendship, bound by long shifts, whispered confessions, and shared cigarettes in the cold night air. As months become years, their bond deepens. In a house built on tradition and appearances, Antea's quiet defiance and Thomas's guarded vulnerability slowly open something neither expected: the possibility of love. But with social expectations, personal demons, and secrets that refuse to stay buried, both Antea and Thomas must face whether their connection can truly survive in a world that may never accept them-let alone allow them to be together.

Er, you may ask me things if you wish. My friend *flushes lightly* James will probably make me answer even if they're embarrassing I suppose. Cheers. ((Ask Thomas questions, friends!
