In the grand halls of Downton Abbey, where tradition and aristocracy intertwine, there exists a young woman named Florence Crawley. She is the second child of Lord and Lady Grantham, a lineage steeped in history and privilege.
Florence's dark black hair cascades like a silken waterfall, echoing her mother's beauty and her older sister Mary's elegance. Her skin, though pale, carries an ethereal glow-a testament to her health and vitality. But it is her eyes that captivate all who behold them: emerald green, like rare gemstones, they seem to hold secrets whispered by the winds.
Her resemblance to her father is undeniable, yet her features possess a sharpness, a strength that sets her apart. Florence moves through the opulent rooms with grace, her presence leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to witness it.
As the seasons change, so does Florence's fate. Her beauty becomes a topic of hushed conversations during society gatherings, and suitors vie for her attention. But beneath the glittering facade lies a young woman yearning for more-a life beyond the confines of tradition.
In "Florence," love, ambition, and destiny collide against the backdrop of a bygone era. Will she defy expectations and forge her own path, or will duty bind her to the legacy of Downton Abbey? Only time will reveal the secrets hidden within her emerald gaze.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! NOTE: Anything posted now, has been reedited and I won't be changing anything*** They were raised to be perfect. They chose to be dangerous. Blair Blackwood never expected to return to England, let alone the sprawling Blackwood estate or the ancient corridors of Hogwarts. But when old pureblood ties call, she and her three closest friends-Cassie Carrington, Mia Montague, and Lea Lockwood-are thrust back into a world of tradition, secrets, and expectations. Trained to charm, raised to rule, and bonded since birth, the girls know how to navigate power. But things have changed. The Slytherin boys have grown up too. Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Mattheo Berkshire and Theodore Nott-heirs to legacy, danger, and something far more twisted-aren't just playing the social game. They're watching, waiting, and hiding secrets of their own. As masked balls, strange dreams, and whispered warnings begin to unravel the line between duty and desire, the girls must decide who they can trust in a world where nothing is as it seems. Old magic is stirring. And the Slytherins? They never play fair. (Read the warnings in the first chapter, please.)

the fourth daughter by itz_shadow17
26 parts Ongoing
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.

The Mistress of Windmere

In the town where reputation is everything, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all. Windmere is a coastal jewel-where fortunes are old, homes are older, and secrets are passed down like heirlooms. Caroline Whitmore has long reigned as the town's most envied woman: poised, powerful, and perfectly curated. But behind the iron gates of the Whitmore estate, her world is quietly unraveling. After years of failed pregnancies and public pressure to produce an heir, Caroline makes a decision that defies generations of tradition. She will find someone else to carry the future of the Whitmore legacy-someone discreet, someone controlled, someone who won't threaten the delicate house of cards she's built. But when a soft-voiced girl from nowhere enters their lives, everything begins to shift. The girl is too pretty. Too poised. Too perfect. And as Caroline watches her husband grow more... attentive, the edges of Windmere's glamour begin to sharpen. And soon, it's not just Caroline's future at stake-but everything she's ever claimed as hers. ⛔️Trigger Warning ⚠️ This novel contains sensitive content that may be distressing to some readers, including infertility, SA, pregnancy loss, surrogacy, emotional manipulation, infidelity, and arson.
