"You built me palaces out of paragraphs

You built cathedrals"

- Burn from Hamilton: An American Musical

When I first started writing fanfiction, I wrote for Harry Potter. I then became a fan of Downton Abbey. The majority of my fics are dedicated to the lovely characters from that show.

note: I no longer use this account. I do check it from time to time, but I no longer upload fics on this site. I have no future plans to do so (though it's always subject to change). Thank you everyone who has supported my work across these various fandoms. I am so thankful that people enjoyed these stories. If I didn't have support or feedback from the beginning, I wouldn't be writing still. So thank you.

If you are a fan of Game of Thrones, or would just like to keep up and see what I'm writing now... please PM me and I'll tell you my ao3 account. If not, I completely understand!! I hope my stories on here continue to bring you happiness. Thanks again for all the memories on here!!

Please also note that these stories have only been posted to this site, if it shows up anywhere else, that is not me so please let me know.

Through His Eyes reviews
One-shot. He's seen it coming. He should have seen it the moment he met her when they were at Brancaster, dancing, and her eyes were focused on Tom. The fall of Henry and Mary's marriage as he watches her fall in love with another man. Set entirely though his eyes.

To Love Again reviews
Mary Crawley is settled on only loving Matthew Crawley till the day she dies. Then there's Tom Branson who comes to her aid and makes her come alive again. She is left rethinking her feelings towards Tom. But Mary is firm on only loving Matthew. This story challenges the idea of one soul mate, and of one love per life time.
