Happy Two Year Friendaversary to Rahleeyah! Patrick and Shelagh celebrate their wedding anniversary with a quiet evening at home without the children. Well, maybe not so quiet. And maybe not entirely as expected.

Post s8 finale. Shelagh has been run ragged by all the children, and Patrick wants to be able to help more, despite being quite busy himself. He's missed her.

Some believe they're a sign from God, and others think they're mere superstition. But Nonnatus House admits postulants with all manner of soulmarks. Based on an anonymous tumblr prompt for a "soulmates AU" feat. Turnadette.

2:08-Christmas Episode from Mr. Bates point of view. What could he have been thinking on his wedding day and his trial and execution day? I credit this work to Carnival, Masterpiece and Mr. Fellowes. The original canon is a work of art and I have no desire to tarnish it. This is my first fan fiction and I hope that it pleases my fellow Bates/Anna fans. Thank you for reading.

50 one-shots of Turnadette based on a list of tumblr OTP prompts! Stories will range from K-T, possibly with the occasional M. Enjoy!

This Turnadette AU fic starts in Episode 7 of series 7 has been updated. The changes are minimal and do not effect the story or dialogue significantly, it has just had a polish. Thank you everyone who has read and continues to read this quirky fic. So still no TB of series 2 and the Parish Hall survived the bomb blast unlike Nonnatus House. Edited 07/04/19

A series of short stories and one-shots for the Turner family in alphabetical order. Rating K - T! Family fluff alert! Please let me know what you all think with a review! Thank you for reading! PS: I own nothing. Chapter 5 is now fixed

Like Turnadette Series 6 Speculation Fics, this is my collection of fics that I write the week before a new episode airs about what I think might happen based off of summaries and pictures from Series 7

Shelagh finds herself at a loss for words when her daughter asks her an important question. Can the Turners pull together and provide Angela with the answers that she is seeking?

"No man can regret loving, as I have loved you." He'd spoken the words before he truly understood both the profoundness of her love and what it might mean if he ever lost it. If he ever lost her. Sequel to "No Man Can Regret Loving"

Based on a tumblr prompt: The first interaction between Patrick and Sister Evangelina after she finds out about his and Shelagh's engagement.

Very short moments featuring various characters from CtM. Might update from time to time. Started in response to a 100 Word Challenge on Tumblr.

When Angela starts her 'fairies live in our garden' phase, Patrick discovers more about Shelagh's childhood, and decides to do something special for her. TW: none, I think, though this story does veer into the realm of the uncanny in later chapters.

UPDATE: this is now going to be 15 stories :). Ten AU ways that Sister Bernadette and Patrick could have had their first kiss (Inspired by the amazing work of Kienova) TW: assault (chapter 1), alcohol abuse (chapter 2), abuse (chapter 6)

A re-imagining of the tension and budding relationship between Sister Bernadette and Dr Turner where she is not diagnosed with TB.

Alphabetically prompted snippets of 155 words in length. Waxing poetic with the Bateses. Enjoy.

My first turnadette fic. Hoping to make this into a multi-chapter AU fic. Starts off fluffy, but may end with a few kettles eventually.

A bit of Turner family fluff, for anyone who hates squirrels (as all sensible people do).

Mere days to relocate hundreds of children. An extended journey and new families at the end. The Kindertransport was the last hope to save some of the Jewish children of Europe. (Kindertransport AU).

Post CS 2016 - Big beds, the Pill and discussions of adopting another baby - the Turners have a late night discussion.

Distaval may have some repercussions closer to home - a look at life with the Turners and how they manage toddlers, teens, a busy medical practice and their friends. Nothing belongs to me just borrowing them for a bit of fun and angst.

Spoilers - Christmas Special 2016 - An afternoon at the beach allows Patrick and Shelagh some carefree time together.

Patrick tries to talk Shelagh into going to the New Years Eve dinner dance mentioned in the cut scene that has surfaced - One Shot

Based on Laura Main's song, Suddenly. Sweet, fluffy, romantic, and angsty Turnadette!

The worst call and the worst diagnosis he'd ever had to make. And then some...

Collection of short ficlets (sometimes long) on a certain GP and former nun, a place for all my Tumblr posts to be archived. There are times when it's easier to type away on Tumblr than on Word, along with many posts and people that simply inspire me!

Dancing lessons for the Turner family

Angela worries about being adopted when her parents have a biological child on the way. My first fic so I haven't quite got the hang on names and summaries yet! Any reviews are appreciated!

Series 3. Timothy and Shelagh take an important step.

The first step occurred on a road in the middle of nowhere. The second step occurred on the drive back. (Follows on from the end of Road to Somewhere)

Based on a prompt from Tumblr: Angela's biological mother sends a letter to the Turners

Its the real start of their story, here on this road in the middle of nowhere.

Tumblr prompt from @1curioussoul. Timothy snoops around his parents' bedroom and finds the letters that Patrick wrote Shelagh when she was in the Sanitorium.

On the day Thomas takes over for Mr. Carson as butler, a strange twist of fate leaves him in an odd state during which he witnesses the vulnerability of Mr. Bates. Likewise, Bates begins to finally understand the new butler. Set Post S6.

Spoilers for Series Finale. The Bates' story told from a different perspective. This is complete and total fluff. And as the series ends, a big thank you to all of the wonderful fic writers in this fandom! I hope to keep reading more adventures of the Bates family! Please read and review. Apologies for any errors/typos.

John plays the waiting game whilst Anna goes into labour...

When the masters become the pupils.

"No man can regret loving... as I have loved you." He'd spoken the words before he knew the true meaning of regret.

Lady Mary sends Anna on an errand to Ripon and she is pleased when Mr. Bates asks to walk with her.

A look at the Turner household as they cope with Angela's illnesses throughout the years. Set during and after series 4.

Shelagh wants to learn to play piano, but will Patrick help or hinder?...

My take on what happened after the Season 5 Christmas Special.

How does a broken heart get put back together when it's been torn apart? Spoilers for 4.03! AU after the 2nd chapter! Trigger warning!

*spoilers for S4, AU from S4E3 onwards* "Suppose you're with child, what will you do then?" "I'll kill myself." The unthinkable has happened: weeks on from the concert, Anna realises that her greatest fear has come true. (M rated and trigger warning). Winner of a Highclere Award for best AU Period Anna/Bates story

Patrick wants to coax Shelagh into public affection, something which she is struggling with.

Patrick and Shelagh begin the healing process after he suffers from a crisis of confidence. Set after S4E5. Originally published to my Wordpress blog. Neither character belong to me, and are the sole property of Neal St Productions.

Shelagh has a chat with Timothy, and then Patrick, after she catches her son staring at "the" photograph. Episode tag (and slight spoilers) for 4x07.

SPOILER ALERT: based on series 4 episode 7... a postlude of sorts

Shelagh has an important question for Patrick. Mild to strong T rating/ several kettles I'd say.

This is an AU story of how the people in Poplar find out about the ex-nun and the Doctor romance (after Episode 2.8). I am glad that I waited this long for this as it is now possible to enlighten the character of Sister Julienne more deeply. (There is only one reference to Shelagh as Watson, a quote, and she does not do detective work in this story.)

The evening John Bates decided he wanted to learn to knit.

Shelagh and Cynthia talk.

It's just turned Christmas Eve, and Patrick returns home from a late call, eager to share a winter wonderland with Shelagh.

Two women, so different yet so similar cultivate a friendship

Shelagh was never going to win any prizes for cooking.

Patricks thoughts on Shelagh's appearance as she goes from Sister Bernadette to Mrs Turner.

Shelagh will always remember the holiday she took in 1959

What happened after the camera panned off the party in 3.5? And how will it change The Turners forever?

Oneshot inspired by one of the days out we had at the beach whilst on holiday

An accident changes Shelagh & Patrick's plan for a productive Saturday.

Green gets what he deserves. So does Anna. Is John responsible for both? An attempt to fix S4 Ep8.

[Set post-S4, in 1924] Changes are in store for Anna and John. Mostly fluff.

Shelagh's life changes beyond recognition in the space of a year.

How do you rebuild the perfect love when it is shattered? Or do you even try?

The journey of a certain pajama top, which finds its way into Shelagh's possession before she and Patrick are married. Began as a Tumblr drawing/ficlet on my blog (sincerelyrobink) and spiraled deliciously out of control. A series of sloppy romantic nothingness.

He gazed across the bed at his wife's face, relaxed and innocent in slumber. In these moments, she looked as young and untouched by life as the first day they'd met. Rated M

Shelagh and Patrick intend to see 'The Sound of Music' together, but things don't go as planned. Set mid-1965. [Meant as a coda to my two-part A Peculiar Irony, but it didn't properly fit as a third part.]

Patrick opens up about his past to the only person whom he feels able to do so, and embarks on a journey towards finding the healing he needs. Definitely an M. NOW COMPLETE.

Trigger warning and S4 spoilers. John and Anna move towards healing after the attack. My attempt to make sense of what happened. Cannon until just before the season finale. Rated M for the depiction of the aftermath of sexual violence. Highclere Award nominee.

This is a little one-shot / offshoot from my story 'May the Good Lord Bless & Keep You', a missing Shelagh/Patrick 'kiss & make up' scene which takes place before Angela's adoption. Definite M!

Wedding Weekend Smut

My unashamedly slushy attempt at a 'bold Shelagh' fic. Not quite smutty enough for an M rating me thinks, but be warned ;)

A follow on from A Journey Begins, as promised working towards the pitter patter of a tiny Turner's feet...

A story of Shelagh and Sister Julienne's relationship, beginning with a missing scene from Series 3 Episode 4. I'm just borrowing these lovely characters.

One-shot based on speculation/spoilers for S3E3. Having returned home, Shelagh finds comfort and healing in the days following the procedure and results that shattered the dreams she had for her new family.

Cynthia makes a decision that causes deep divisions between the young nurses, threatening the peace of Nonnatus House. Can harmony be restored before personal differences become professional? Ensemble piece, WIP. Chapter Four: Still reeling from the morning, Cynthia visits Shelagh... only for their evening to take unforeseen twist when Dr Turner bursts in...

Follow up of Temporary Surroundings (in case you didn't know). Characters are the product of Lord Fellowes's mind, not mine.

My take on Anna's first night back at the cottage after John finds out. **Spoiler Alert US Ep 4/UK Ep 5** ***Possible trigger warning*** - there are no details, or anything directly addressing the attack. Just wanted to post a warning to be safe.

John and Anna begin their family life at Downton. A series of scenes and special moments from their cottage. These moments will not necessarily be in chronological order and will be posted when inspiration strikes. Reviews are greatly appreciated!

In 4.05 Anna and Bates talked in the boot room, then a night passed and the next morning, things seemed okay between them. What happened during the night?

Shelagh's history, as told during her engagement; paired with excerpts from John Keats 1818 poem 'Endymion'. Turnadette ***Hiatus***

AU Multichapter - It is 1945 and the devoted couple, Anna and John Bates, have died. While trying to come to terms with their passing, their children, Annabelle and William, discover documents revealing shocking information about their parent's past. With some help from their Godmother, Lady Mary Crawley, they will put together the pieces of their family's history.

The car journey after that breathtakingly romantic scene in the mist! Shelagh and Patrick are suddenly free to express their feelings for each other, but don't know where to start. To be continued... Please review if you have the time :)

Multichapter - Anna and Mr. Bates have been reunited at last, yet, a cottage has not been made available upon his return. Newlyweds that have been separated, once reunited, cannot be kept apart as a vigilant Mrs. Hughes finds out. Forced to live in separate quarters, will the Housekeeper put an end to their shenanigans or will she enable their reunions? Will transition to M.

Shelagh and Patrick celebrate their first ever Valentine's Day :) think it will end up as three-shot.

This story is effectively Chapter 4 of 'A Kiss Is Just A Kiss' but I have posted it as a one-shot because of its rating (and because the next line in the song lyrics after 'the fundamental things apply' is actually As Time Goes By. That will be Chapter 5)! Please check out the other chapters if you haven't already done so :-)

An archive of drabble-esque ficlets written as commentfic on Tumblr and centred on various characters and relationships, mostly Shulienne and Turnadette, written in the time between S2 and S3.

Never to late for romance

This is one patient she will not fail. Bernadette&Julienne, Turnadette.

Sister Bernadette enters the Sanitarium alone. This is all as imagined by me, because I was so upset after watching episode 6. These two characters have been so beautifully acted by Laura Main and Stephen McGann. I have totally fallen for them both. Genius writing, thank you BBC!

Anna is woken by John's nightmares for the first time. Prompted by anon on Tumblr.

WARNING: Spoiler Alert for Call the Midwife, Series 2, Episode 5 This story is about how the relationship between Sister Bernadette and Dr Turner develops, please read and review.

Story detailing the scenes we never saw, but all wanted to upon John's arrival back at Downton. S3 spoilers.

It's Christmas 1914. Anna and Mr Bates' situation is the same as it always has been, until a mishap under the mistletoe forces everything to change. Winner of A/B canon, and nominated in A/B angst in Highclere Awards 2014.

All the scenes we wanted to see the end of, the cut off conversations, the alternative endings had something not happened. This is happy Anna and Bates. Fifth chapter: What if the bell had not rung when it did in the 'Alone at Last' moment?

Anna and John settle into their cottage. Otherwise known as 'cottage fluff'. Spoilers for 3.7 (and what I hope will be spoilers for 3.8). M rating is for the last section.

"His lordship said to stay in bed and read books. I don't think he had this in mind."

Anna's miserable evening is brightened up by Mr Bates.

S01E04. "It's at that point that he realises the whole undeniable truth, the force of it hitting him like a train at full speed, as though it's a magic trick that has been saved until last for the grand finale: he, John Bates, is in love."

What would Anna have done if Lord Grantham had dispensed with Bates' services? Just how far would she go to be with him? Set after Episode 6 and an alternative way their story could have gone. FINAL CHAPTER NOW UP!
