S2 AU with elements of canon. Repeated meetings and misunderstandings forge a rocky path to be traversed.

The summer of 1918 finds the Crawley family in an interesting predicament. With Matthew wounded, and unable to sire an heir, the family is desperate to find the next in line after him. Will Mary's sudden return from a four year exile in New York help shed light on the situation? (AN: The story is much better than the summary, I promise you!)

As they battle to rebuild lives & livelihoods in a country irrevocably changed by war, VAD Nurse Mary Crawley & convalescing Captain Matthew Crawley are swept into a web of scandal & corruption that threatens to rip the Crawley family apart. This mystery and romance weaves real historical events into a DA retelling featuring most characters & some OC's from S2.05. Some M chapters.

January 1919: The war is over and the world is beginning to heal. Mary and Matthew meet in the library late one night, and secrets kept for far too long come out, leading to discussions about literature, honesty, and hope for the future. One-shot for now, but may be added to at some point in the future.

The wedding of Sybil Crawley and Tom Branson is taking place in Dublin, though as one love story reaches the beginning of its happily ever after, another one has yet to become reality – that of Mary and Matthew Crawley. But with little bit of help from Tom's family, their love may finally come to light.

This is not the end of his life... just the start of a different life. This is the story of this different life, of how the lives of the Crawley family might have been different if Dr Clarkson had been right and Matthew had broken his back. I promise this won't be depressing! Includes most of the characters from the first two series, but focuses mainly on Mary and Matthew.

What might have happened at Downton Abbey had the events after the concert in series two, episode four gone a bit differently. "To say that I dont love you anymore- Well Mary, that would be lying." The story is better than the summary, I promise you that!

A collection of drabbles requested on tumblr. Not chronological or connected, apart from the love that is Mary and Matthew.

Mary takes shelter at Crawley House during a storm. Matthew tries to keep her there as long as possible. Based on the Christmas song "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Pure fluff. My Christmas gift to Matthew/Mary shippers everywhere!

* What if Mary had trusted Matthew with her secret and immediately accepted his first proposal? An alternate universe starting from episode 1x06, interwoven with canon, that spans from 1914 - 1971. [M for sexual content, wartime violence, racial slurs, character death (but Matthew/Mary and Sybil/Tom end happily!)] [STEAMM]

Set following the end of "Falling," Mary and Matthew have been married for approximately two years. Multi-chapter fic. A modern Downton Abbey AU.

Exiled from Downton Abbey over a scandal, Lady Mary Crawley is ruined. Meanwhile Matthew Crawley has lived a content life in Manchester with his parents, Dr. Reginald Crawley and Isobel Crawley. Before the Earl of Grantham changed his life, his eldest daughter did. An AU story in a different place with different results; created by Willa Dedalus and Apollo888.

Hello. Modern MM AU. How do two stubborn people fall back into love? MM divorce ...

The following story has characters acting very OOC - if you don't like that then don't read ahead! What if Mr. Darcy had already been 'at home' when Elizabeth and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner pay an unexpected visit to Pemberley. A rather naughty version of what could have happened if Lizzie Bennet had spied Mr. Darcy in his bedchamber after just getting out of the bath.

Written in response to a drabble request on Tumblr, from thefoodofloveismusic: "Ok, Falling, the first morning after M/M's coming together again, first talks about the past and the future." A modern Downton Abbey ficlet.

You must remember this... a kiss is just a kiss. A continuation of the kiss scene between Matthew and Mary in episode 3.01.

In this modern Downton Abbey fic, Mary broke up with her college boyfriend four years ago. When he suddenly comes back into her life, her world is turned upside down as she sorts through old feelings, new acquaintances, and a man who just won't go away. Mainly Mary/Matthew, but also includes the rest of the cast (Sybil, Tom, Edith, Anna, Carson, etc).

Modern M/M. Smut. A slightly made-over Matthew reappears in Mary's life and the two of them release the tension that has been building between them. Not much of a point to this beyond smut...

One night now that they are married, settled and happy at last, Matthew seeks to fulfil a wish he's harboured for six years, since the first time they kissed. Smut alert!

Lizzie spends her time with her Aunt and Uncle as a child where she meets the one and only William Darcy. Their instant friendship grows, but when he severs connections she is extremely hurt. Now that they have been reconnected, can their relationship continue? Even with an impossible road ahead of them? Everyone is slightly OOC. Rating subject to change.

One shot companions to "It Started One Summer". Enjoy ;)

"Absolutely not..." What if Lavinia didn't interrupt them in 2x08? Though they are both bound to others, the bond between them is stronger than anything else, and maybe always will be. One-shot to fulfill a smut prompt, so naturally things take a turn that way.

AU. Mary's decision to refuse Sir Richard's proposal leaves her without recourse when Mrs. Bates decides to sell her story to the press. Claiming that her ruin makes her unmarriageable, Mary convinces an injured Matthew to marry her and secure her future.

"But you can't move to California!" Darcy said abruptly, hazel eyes widening slightly. "Excuse me? Pray tell- why?" Lizzy replied coldly. There was a brief pause. "Because I love you!" he blurted out.*P&P modern two-shot twist on Darcy's proposals. COMPLETE. Edited 11/12/12

On the night after Edith's failed wedding, Mary surprises Matthew with a sweet treat...in bed. Completely gratuitous M/M smut. Sort of spoilery for 3.03.

With their wedding fast approaching, Matthew and Mary have the rare opportunity for some alone time. One-shot.

In which Matthew's eyes are opened and the south of France is hot. Completely gratuitous M/M honeymoon smut.

Summer 1913. When a bitter argument at Scarborough Castle turns into something altogether more passionate, Matthew and Mary find themselves forced to deal with the emotional and practical consequences of their unthinking actions. S01 AU smutty epic.

Mary is distracted and on edge, Matthew is confused at her odd behaviour. What could possibly be the matter? With a little help from his mother, and a certain lucky charm - he might just work it out! My fist ever fic, let me know what you think! :

Recently married and even more recently returned from their honeymoon, Mary and Matthew just can't seem to help themselves, regardless of where they are or who might be around... Slightly smutty-ish, strong T.

"'Can you... feel that' she breathed. Matthew paled. 'Yes.'" Post-recovery AU, in response to a tumblr challenge based on a rather inspiring picture. M/M smut.

What if the entail did put in a provision in case there were only daughters born to the estate? And what if Matthew had family obligations that required substantial monetary solutions? A long running AU story for S1.

A hasty decision leads to consequences that will change their lives. AU S2 - how it should have been! EPILOGUE NOW UP: All good things...

Events taking place in the summer of 1919 changes things for Mary, and brings Matthew back into her life. Set right after Lavinia Swire's death and explores Matthew's and Mary's lives from there on. AU.

Recently married and in the middle of their first argument, it takes a room with a lock and an interfering parent to get Mary and Matthew talking again.

I had this idea to write 2 versions of "the wedding night". The 1st, assumes that Pamuk did show Mary the 'delights of passion'. /It is their wedding night. Both slightly nervous about taking this step that will forever seal their life together.

Post S2. Pure wish fulfillment, I'm afraid. Violet, Cora and Isobel plot and scheme to get Mary and Matthew back together after Lavinia's death. Will they succeed? Oneshot.

Based on the itv trailer for the Christmas Special. My take on the events of the ball. No copyright infringement etc. intended. No real spoilers. Chapter 2 most definitely M.

Mary has been frightened of storms since she was a child. A story that spirals from that really! One I wrote in one go in a couple of hours trying to avoid uni essays... :S

It could never just be dancing. Not for them. Pure wish-fulfilment based on the episode 8 preview and nothing else. Happy Downton Day, all you beautiful shippers!

She was there, and he was there, and he was filthy. But to her, he'd never looked more handsome. One-shot, AU s2 - no spoilers at all.

One-shot missing scene from Any Other World. Violet walks the halls of Downton Abbey at night. No spoilers, except for my own story.

When a badly wounded Matthew returns from the front, the only person he wants is Mary... but he doesn't know that.

Modern P&P. Lizzy realises that she loves Darcy and wants to see him but what if it’s not Lydia who needs saving from Wickham?
