Downton Abbey: A New Era

A/N: The fact that they made a comment about how a Myrna was nicer now because she wasn't afraid anymore and then the camera immediately panned to show Thomas absolutely kills me.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye You were bigger than the whole sky You were more than just a short time And I've got a lot to pine about I've got a lot to live without I'm never gonna meet What could've been, would've been What should've been you What could've been, would've been you

Huge shoutout to @abumperprize for noticing the subtle details!

Just want to share about something that made me feel a bit strange today.

So there is this one Thomas Barrow fanfic that I love very much, like on a completely different level than any other fics. It’s very poignant and mostly about his SA. Today, I suddenly felt like searching for the author’s tumblr account, and I found it. They had been quite active in the past (they posted almost every day), but the most recent post was dated April last year. They have also written dozens of DA fics on AO3, but the last update and reply to comments were coincidentally made around that time last year too. Connecting all the dots, I had a terrible feeling about what might have happened to this person. And I felt really really sad about it. What if…

Then when I almost succumbed to this horrible thought, I read one reply on AO3 dated May last year saying that they were simply too occupied with their work and obligations in real life, and most of all, they had lost interest in the fandom. They were still alive. At that moment, this was a big relief.

But then I felt sad again, for I found out that there was no fundamental difference (to the fandom itself) whether this person was physically gone or simply lost their interest. Of course, their traces of having played a contributive part in the fandom are still here, and their legacy will be witnessed by many who come afterwards. But all their updates just suddenly stopped at one point in time, as if they had a terrible accident one day and hadn’t got the chance to say goodbye properly.

I haven’t been in any fandom social media before to conclude if this is a common thing. But I just think what if someone I know here disappeared one day without saying a word, I wouldn’t even know if they were still alive out there doing things that they enjoyed more. What if something more unpleasant actually happened to them instead? I still wouldn’t know. And I thought, one day will it be me too?

DOWNTON ABBEY HEADCANON

Guy Dexter died in his sleep in 1938; the will he had written leaving everything he owned to his travelling companion was declared invalid, and Thomas, penniless and in mourning, found himself living in the streets.

One day someone came to see him, having searched for him far and wide: a young blond man he did not immediately recognize, and who told him he would take care of Thomas as long as he needed.

"Please, do not look so surprised, mr. Barrow." the young man said with a smile as he took Thomas' hand "You would do the same for me, I am sure. Did you not say you would always be my friend wherever you were?"
