Cobert Stories

"I'd like to give her three bags full, preferably on a dark night." - Miss O'Brien I thought this was a telling comment about miss O'Brien. It started to make me wonder what made her the way she is. She was so loyal to Cora but she could turn on a dime when things don't go her way.

Prequel - Robert and Marmaduke are sent to South Africa. Rosamund and her children, Lavinia and Cyril stay at Downton with a pregnant Cora

O'Brien is at it again and decides to get back at Robert by hurting Cora.

Modern AU - Cora Levinson is 26 years old and moved to London England with her two children to start anew after the death of her husband and dealing with a stalker who is obsessed with marrying her. She is the manager and lounge singer of the new franchise of her Father's restaurant, The Crystal Palace, in London. Robert Crawley, 27, is the son of Patrick Crawley, founder and owner of Downton Security. When Isidor Levinson, a friend from Oxford University, requests his help to keep his daughter safe, Patrick sends his son for the job.

Cora poses this question to her husband of 7 months and Robert, feeling quite wretched because he hasn't fallen in love with her, remembers the last talk about Cora with Patrick before his death.

Modern AU- Robert Crawley is the Ceo if the largest estate company in North England. When he goes missing the family suspects foul play and they hire Levinson international detective agency.

When Cora was growing up in Cincinnati she was excited that her city became the first to have a professional baseball team called the Red legs. She used to beg Papa to take her to a game every summer at Crosley field. He died the same year she was married but she was able to convince Robert to take her back to America a year later to see a game.

Cora has another brother, who is five years older Edward hadn't been interested in taking over the dry goods company He left America to marry a woman from England, Margaret Wilson, daughter of Arthur Wilson of Tranby Croft Estate in Yorkshire they met while she was in New York for the season. Her father was a wealthy plutocrat who got in trouble for illegal gambling dragging Edward Levinson with him. Cora ceased communication with him at first to avoid dragging Robert's family into the scandal. She began talking to him again after Sybil's birth but now tragedy strikes his family and they need Cora's help. * this story is based on an actual scandal but changes were made for the fanfic.

Cora didn't realize how difficult it would be running a convalescent home but while doing so and worrying that Robert could be killed after being sent to fight leads toseveral sleepless nights for her. A family friend asks a big favor of the Earl and Countess.

If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Season 2 but I always wondered what it would have ben like if Robert went to fight (Strallen why not him?)and Cora found out she was pregnant while he was gone. This is focused on Cora kicking ass and taking names (Isobel!)

This is a prequel of Cobert raising their three daughters and, yes, a son. There will be love and plenty of angst as that has been my nickname in fanfiction with friends ( the Angst Queen is what they call me and I'm ok with that. Basically I take my favorite character(s) and make them sad all while trying to give them a happy ending despite of it)
