Summary
Downton Abbey, 1920
Sybil finds herself back in her childhood home after the burning of Drumgoole Castle put an abrupt end to their simple but fulfilling life in Dublin, and her husband's life too. Now, she's once more trapped in an existence without purpose, fighting for any shred of individuality.
Edith is desperately trying to regain her footing after the unspeakable tragedy that was her wedding. But, as Granny reminds her, she's a woman with brains and reasonable ability. She should be capable of finding something to do, something that will finally give her a purpose and some appreciation.
Mary and Matthew are in love and freshly married. From the outside looking in, their lives are perfect, if it weren't for the matter of an heir – and that, surely, can only be a matter of time. But for all that Matthew left the battlefield behind years ago, it still haunts him more than he lets anyone see.

Summary
Leopold (Leo) Crawley, second of four children and only son of the Earl of Grantham, heir to the title and Downton Abbey estate and a renowned womanising playboy.

All is going well until he returns from his European travels in the spring of 1912 and meets the footman Thomas Barrow (whom many whisper unsavoury things about). A friendship that defies class and societal boundaries forms, and eventually blossoms into something they dare not even label.
Join them as they risk everything for a love that defies the law and all odds.

Summary
“What on earth are you doing?”
“Would you rather I didn’t?”
“I’d rather you find a better way of doing what you’re doing without tearing all the buttons off. They’re for decoration, Michael. They’re not meant to open.”
“Buttons that don’t unbutton. That’s the dumbest, most frustrating thing I’ve encountered in my life. And I was in the army.”
“Well yes, that’s women’s fashion for you. I should tell my editor, he might be interested in the topic for my next column …”Edith writes a column about the constraints of women’s fashion. No one but Michael realises what it’s actually all about.

Summary
Mrs Hughes’ office was dark and dreary but it was the only place of safety her frazzled mind could think of and she desperately needed help though now she was doubting whether or not she should have just gone to her room. She was cold, so very cold but that wasn’t the only reason for her trembling. The darkness around her was oppressive. His face seemed to dance in the shadows threatening to jump out and attack her once again the bleeding and bruising painful reminders of what happened just a few moments ago.
The quiet that had surrounded her was now interrupted by the sound of the other staff returning downstairs which could only mean that the concert must have finished, she prayed that Mrs Hughes would find her and not Mr Carson she couldn’t bear it if he found her. Though her prayer would partially come true when she heard the door open, two pairs of heels clattered against the stone floors abruptly stopping once the light had been flipped on followed by two gasps but one snapped out of the shock quicker than the other.

Summary
In 1888, one entirely too stubborn son of Ashkenazi refugees from Odesa is dead set on marrying the daughter of one of the most prominent Sephardi dynasties in England, not only worthy but The Honourable, against the wishes of both sets of parents.
In 1924, one very nice Jewish boy is dead set on marrying the Anglican daughter of a Scottish marquess, against the wishes of his entirely too stubborn father (and her embittered, antisemite mother, but that’s a story for a different day).
OR
Rachel Aldridge basically tells her husband he’s a hypocrite and Daniel Aldridge gains a worthy woman as a daughter in the process.

Summary
In the spring of 1938, Rose and Atticus Aldridge are facing a new threat that has been brewing for a long time. As the Nazis are taking over the continent, they’re fighting against the clock to keep their extended family safe. Rose enlists her relations at Downton to help make a new, temporary home for displaced Jewish refugee children being brought to safety on the Kindertransport. And when WWII breaks out shortly after, the lives of all the Crawleys are changed forever.
More than 85 years later, an eager young graduate student stumbles head-first into a piece of family history and pieces together the tale of how Downton and the family spent the war years. While Rose and Atticus adopt two Kindertransport children, George is eager to become an RAF pilot (much to the disdain of his mother), Sybbie volunteers with the Women's Auxiliary Territory Service (and eventually teaches the girl who would later become Queen Elizabeth to drive), and her little half-brother has a crush for the very first time ... among other things.

Summary
LITERALLY ON PAUSE CAUSE I NEED TO SEE THE NEW FILM THEN WRITE A CHAPTER
Emma's life was normal but then one day that all changed and things got more complicated. She was born in 2002 and grew up in England but that all changed in 2021 when she was 19 years old when she woke up in the past, more specifically Yorkshire1909. It was a mild day (what else) in the grounds of an estate called Downton Abbey. After literally falling onto the floor right in front of the owners in question of the estate, the Earl and Countess of Grantham, Robert and Cora Crawley.
——
A young girl from the 21st century, where Downton Abbey doesn't exist on the TV, travels back in time to the world of Downton Abbey. Not a typical one where it is another Crawley sister or where she's from a world where Downton Abbey is a TV show.

Summary
What if there were dragons in the world? Or what if they'd been extinct for seemingly decades, until one showed up again? Mary Crawley thought she was the only dragon in the world, destined to marry a rich nobleman with a title. But the sinking of the Titanic changes things, including who is to inherit her home.
That is how she meets Matthew Crawley, a distant cousin who is more like her than she was suspecting, and they become far more attached to each other than they'd planned, especially with all the shoving her family was doing to get them together. -

Summary
Left alone, Tom Branson and Mary Crawley never would have chosen each other. Fate, however, threw them together, letting them grieve the same kind of loss and raise children a year apart. It was only natural that they first form an alliance, then become colleges and friends, then an inseparable pair. They would never say they were in love, but sometimes these things just happen and the worst thing in their lives might just have turned into the best.
Or, 5 times Mary & Tom were there for each other + 1 time they were for each other ft. George and Sybbie

Summary
An unknown darkness plunges the world into chaos. With it, the dead rise.
Having died that day in 1925 and clawed his way out of the ground as one of the rabid undead, Thomas finds himself three years later in London just trying to get by. He avoids attention, most of the time, until his past comes rushing towards him on the busy pavements of Oxford Street.
Reconciling his death with this new reality is hard enough. Holding on when the love of his life paints colour back to his world proves even more difficult, when everything hinges on keeping one's head down, holding one's secrets close, and vials of blue medicine that keep the monster at bay.

Summary
With the customary formality required of a butler, Carson ushered them inside. The two of them followed, and while Jimmy couldn’t help but catalogue Carson’s reaction to Thomas, he also couldn’t help noticing Thomas’s delight in entering his former home and place of work through the front entrance. He looked about at the soaring ceiling, a smile pushing his now plump cheeks up and revealing his dimples. When he looked over and a degree or so down at Jimmy, the pudge under his chin pushed out over his collar adorably.
