April 1912. After the sinking of the Titanic, Iris Crawley loses everything she owns. Orphaned and alone, she discovers she is the last descendant of a distant branch of the Crawleys of Downton Abbey, a family she has always despised and from which she has been kept distant her entire life. Forced to move to Downton, Iris finds herself in a world she hates: one of rules, silence, and aristocracy. But amidst conflicts, grief, and unexpected connections, she will have to face the most difficult truth of all: family isn't always the one you choose to hate, and you can't always escape who you are.

It's 1939, and the children of Downton are all grown up. Handsome young George Crawley-the image of his father Matthew-is poised to begin university when World War II breaks out. In an echo of the past, he enlists as an officer in His Majesty's army, while his fiery cousin Sybbie follows in her mother's footsteps and becomes a nurse. Meanwhile, a distant relative of Cora's from Connecticut-a Jewish girl named Miriam Levinson-is sent to Downton for her safety. George finds himself at risk of losing his heart irrevocably to the new stranger, while Sybbie seems poised on the brink of making an entirely unsuitable match...

Downton Abbey (don't own it!). After a night of serving dinner, Lady Mary has a well-meaning reward for our lovely Under Butler. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize he won't be very happy... S3, AU-ish. probably won't be continued. Thomas' PoV.

World War One has now occured and Lady Emma Crawley must either sink or swim in this troubled, dark times. Since the Garden Party in 1914, Emma must face challenges that would either make her a strong woman or break her. I recommend reading the first book - Emma Crawley (Downton Abbey Season 1) before reading season Two of Emma Crawley.

In this version Michael Gregson isn't found until after the Drewes leave. He is found but is in hiding. Sybil and Tom are fine as well but may be moving closer to the agent office for the estate, Mary and Matthew are fine as well and Mary may be expecting? Also Harold and Miss Allsop are love interests of each other as well as Mrs Crawley and Lord Merton. Lady Rose still ends up with Atticus Aldridge. Downstairs in this version Ivy doesn't come until after Daisy has told Alfred she likes him. And Anna is expecting her son earlier in this version but still has the procedure so she doesn't miscarry. Also in this version Denker is dismissed and does leave even though she already knows about Spratt's nephew. And O'Brian is back and gets hired by Violet?

Looking back now, Mary was sure that boarding the R.M.S. Titanic hadn't been a mistake. Anyone else would have brought those people, that life, back, but not her. The R.M.S. Titanic had changed her. Forever.

The worlds above and below stairs are entirely separate in some places. Some of my colleagues may be able to claim the title of friendship with the family, but to me they barely seem real. My family may say my job sounds as boring as anything, but it pays nicely, and I hear every little secret this house has. A retelling of the Downton Abbey series from the point of view of one of the maids. It might not be very exciting to read, but it's fun to write, so I'm going to continue. Hopefully. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except Genevieve and her family. The characters of Downton Abbey are not my creation, but I may alter their personalities slightly by accident, for which I apologise. The story is also mostly not mine. Currently trying to figure out how to do this after I realised my way was really dull. Will be publishing more soon I hope.
