Matthewcrawley Stories

Born into the golden age of England's aristocracy, Lady Charlotte Crawley has always stood just beyond the light - too independent for London society, too tender-hearted for its rules. The youngest of Lord and Lady Grantham's daughters before Sybil, she is her father's quiet favourite, the steady voice in a house divided by pride and change. From the morning the news of the Titanic arrives to the summer days that smell of roses and fear, Charlotte witnesses the Crawleys' world shift beneath its silken surface. Between her sisters' rivalries, her mother's grace, and her grandmother's sharp wit, she learns that the Abbey's walls may shelter them from scandal, but not from time. And then there is Matthew Crawley - modern, principled, infuriatingly sincere - the man meant for Mary but who finds in Charlotte a mirror of his own restless spirit. Their friendship blossoms in stolen conversations and quiet laughter, a love too deep to name and too dangerous to declare. Yet as 1914 dawns, the skies above England darken. Whispers of war become cannon fire, and the laughter that once filled Downton's gardens fades beneath the sound of marching feet. Sons, husbands, and brothers are called to fight; daughters must learn to be brave in their absence. When Britain enters the Great War, Charlotte's dreams turn to dread. The nightmare that once woke her - Matthew on a battlefield far from home - becomes terrifyingly real. Torn between duty and love, she must find her strength in a world unraveling, where every telegram could shatter a heart and every dawn might be the last of its kind.

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...

Matthew Crawley loves being a father. It's a wonderful, fruitful, and joyous thing to be. Therefore, when Thomas Barrow informs him that his son and niece are in danger, Matthew realizes he must hone in on his new fatherly instincts. Will they prove useful, or will they just lead him in the wrong direction? Second story in the "Miracle" AU.

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.

(I'm posting this even though I haven't written anything yet, to motivate kyself to finish this, sorry:) The (now) 17 years old George Crawley, son of Mary and Matthew Crawley, finds himself in love with the last person he'd ever thought to fall in love with.

Downton Abbey Fanfiction Lady Mary believes Matthew has been unfaithful, yet he's denying it at all costs. What's the truth? (Changes to facts from the show: Matthew did not die after the birth of George. Anna and Mr Bates had a daughter called Beatrix, a few months younger than George. Sybil did not die during childbirth but she lost her daughter - who was subsequently called Sybil (Sybbie) - a year before George's birth. Everyone knows Marigold is Edith's daughter and she is married to Burtie. Ages of the children: George is a almost a year old and Beatrix, three months younger. Marigold is two. Sybbie would have been around two, Sybil and Tom still grieving for their lost daughter yet just about managing closure)

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?

This story is based off of Mary's journey through seasons 3 & 4 of Downton.

Miracles happen all the time, so why shouldn't one occur for Matthew Crawley? An AU where Matthew doesn't die in that stupid car crash. First story in the "Miracle" AU.
