Playing Pretend (Part 3)
Dinner, dessert, and realizing someone might get hurt.
Roy Kent x Reader
2.8k words
Warnings: Language, plenty of pining, "only one bed" trope I guess
A/N: Came out a bit longer than I intended, but I'm not complaining!
Series Masterlist
Royâs arm was still wrapped around your shoulder, fingers tracing circles on your bare skin as he laughed at something your brother-in-law said. Another reason youâd picked Roy to be your fake boyfriend: he got along perfectly with your family and didnât need to create some fake personality to make them like him. They adored Roy. It was probably your dadâs deepest dream to have the two of you get together.
You had caught the look on your dadâs face as he watched you across the room. His smile was that soft, gentle smile, the one heâd worn when you were a kid receiving an award, or when you learned to ride a bicycle, or when he helped you move into your first place all on your own. It was his proud, I love you so much smile. And it broke your heart a little, knowing that heâd be so sad when you and Roy âbroke upâ after the wedding. Almost as sad as you would be when the weekend ended, and Roy went back to just being your friendâs big brother who you pined after in silence.
But for now, you laid your head on his shoulder as your older sister shared some silly story about your nephew, enjoying the rumbling you felt when he chuckled, that gruff sound that made your heart skip a beat.
He leaned close and whispered in your ear, âHowâm I doing?â
Ignoring the shiver his breath sent down your spine, you nodded. âPerfect,â you answered quietly. Just as your gaze flickered down to his mouth, wondering how many kisses you could get away with by excusing them as part of the âactâ, a housekeeper came in and announced dinner, asking everyone to follow her to the dining room.
Roy was on his feet immediately, holding his hand out to help you up. âFeel like Iâm on an episode of fucking Downton Abbey,â he hissed, smirking.
âWhat do you know about Downton Abbey?â you teased with a laugh.
âI know youâve got a fucking thing for Matthew Crawley,â he shot back, raising his eyebrows at you.
Feeling like you were being watched, you gripped Royâs arm affectionately. âIs someone jealous?â you cooed.
âMaybe,â was the small growl before Royâs lips connected with yours again for a brief, heated moment that made your heart skip a beat. âIs this alright?â he whispered, nose brushing affectionately against yours as everyone else walked past the two of you. âThe kissing?â His eyes were full of concern, a look he often gave you when he got protective. As any guy would of his baby sisterâs best friend- right?
You shrugged coyly. âGetting to spend my weekend snogging a handsome footballer kind of helps take the sting out of the whole âmy sister is marrying my exâ bullshit.â
The smile he wore was a surprised one. âYou think Iâm handsome?â
âOh, shut up, you know you are,â you tutted, giving him a playful shove as you moved past him into the dining room. With your back to him you missed the fierce blush that covered his face as he shook his head and watched you, that big smile remaining despite no one being around to see it.
Once everyone had settled in their seats, Jimâs dad raised a glass. âThank you all for joining us to celebrate our only son and his lovely bride-to-be,â he started, nodding to Jim and Lauren, who sat directly across from Roy and yourself. âItâs going to be a very busy weekend, so itâs nice to have the opportunity to have our first official meal as a family before the festivities.â His eyes lingered on you for a moment, wistfulness flickering across his face for a brief moment.
When you and Roy had arrived at the house and were searching for your room, youâd bumped into Jimâs parents in the hall; there was a lot of clearing of throats and avoiding eye contact from all three of you as you re-introduced them to Roy, informing them that the two of you were now dating. Jimâs mother looked almost disappointed at the news, the corners of her mouth tugging downward, before recovering and offering her congratulations.
Jimâs dad continued his little toast. âI hope this weekend is full of wonderful memories for our new family and that this is the first of many celebrations we share.â
As everyone raised their glasses in agreement, Roy reached under the table for your hand, despite the fact that no one could see it. While you marveled at how determined he was to convince the whole table of your farce, Roy knew the truth: he wanted to hold your hand, plain and simple. And after all this time, this weekend finally gave him excuse to hold it as much as he wanted. There was no way he was going to waste that.
He did reluctantly have to let go once dinner was served, but not without bringing it to his lips and pressing a kiss to your hand first. Across the table, Jimâs eyes narrowed slightly, before he turned to Lauren, acting like the picture of the attentive fiancĂŠ. You couldnât help but notice the more Roy leaned over to whisper jokes in your ear, or found an excuse to touch your hand, or acted generally boyfriend-y, the more Jim mirrored that affection with Lauren. You did your best not to dwell on the observation, instead focusing on how nice it was to have Roy Kent by your side.
When dessert was served, Jimâs mum suggested taking it outside to enjoy the lovely night. Roy grabbed your bowl before you could and planted a kiss on the top of your head.
âJust grab the spoons, yeah, love?â
Love. Roy Kent just called you love. Youâd seen him with other women heâd dated- really dated- and youâd never heard him call any of them love. The word stopped the breath in your chest as you reminded yourself that he was playing a role, acting as the perfect doting boyfriend.
But goodness, you liked the way it sounded.
You led Roy to the garden, where Roy nodded to a bench nestled under a low tree, a bit away from where everyone else was sitting.
âMind if we sit over here?â
Your chest purred with pleasure at the idea of being alone with him in the secluded little corner, even if just for show. âSounds good,â you managed.
Roy watched you carefully as you sat down before joining you on the bench, sitting closer than he had to, pressing his thigh against yours. He knew, deep down, that he was kind of taking advantage of the situation, that he was just a friend doing you a favor, but fuck, when was he going to get another chance like this? To dote on you, to touch you, to kiss you, to show you how mad about you he was. He would worry about getting his heart broken later.
âHow you feelinâ?â he asked, trading your dessert for one of the spoons you held out.
You shrugged as you took the bowl that he handed you. âAlright.â Your gaze flickered to Jim and Lauren, who were chatting with Jimâs parents. Jimâs eyes locked with yours for a brief moment before you turned back to Roy, who watched you with a frown. âHow are you? Youâre doing a great job with this whole boyfriend thing. Youâre a natural.â
Roy turned his focus to his dessert, ignoring how tight his chest felt. âIâm fuckinâ fine. More concerned with you, actually. Iâm sure all this⌠is hard.â He lifted his head to look at you. âIt fucking sucks. Watching the love of your life be in love with someone else. Really fucking sucks.â
Something in the fiery way he looked at you sent a shiver down your spine. âYeah. This is pretty damn difficult.â After a moment, you shook your head. âBut⌠I donât think Jim was the love of my life.â Royâs raised eyebrows urged you on. âI mean, I loved him. Really, I did. And I wouldâve married him. And it hurts like hell watching him marry someone else, never mind who it is.â You shrugged. âBut he wasnât the love of my life,â you repeated firmly.
âHow dâyou know?â Roy leaned towards you intently, both of you completely forgetting about the sweets in your hands.
âI donât,â you admitted with a soft chuckle. âBut I have to keep telling myself that, donât I? Have to keep hope that the real love of my life is still out there, looking for me as much as Iâm looking for him.â
Royâs heart was on fire listening to you. He wanted so badly to tell you that he was right fucking there, that heâd been there for years. He wanted to give you a real kiss and whisk you away to the swanky bedroom you were sharing. Fuck, he wanted to offer to take Jim and Laurenâs place in front of the officiant on Saturday if you were keen.
Instead, he gave you a small, understanding nod. âShould write that down, itâs fucking beautiful.â And you knew he meant it. âRight. Well. I am⌠going to find a fucking bathroom.â He stood, putting down his bowl and forcing a playful smirk. âDonât eat my fucking dessert, and if Iâm not back in an hour, send a search party, see if I fell into a moat or got caught in a dungeon or some shit.â He bent down and kissed the top of your head before walking briskly into the house, hands stuffed in his pockets.
âYou two were having a pretty serious conversation from the looks of it,â your fatherâs voice mused.
You looked up at your father, who was observing you carefully. âJust about how weird this weekend is,â you half-lied. âHe just wanted to make sure I was okay.â
He nodded. âWell, Iâm sure itâs strange for him too. Watching you watch your ex get married.â He bobbled his head. âBe easy on him.â
You shook your head. âRoy knows thereâs no feelings there. Just awkwardness, really. He completely understands.â
âHeâs a good guy. You know Iâve always thought so.â He laughed. âWeâre all just glad you two finally figured it out.â
âRight. Right.â You thought for a moment about the way your family wasnât completely surprised by your new ârelationshipâ. âYou know, Iâm still not sure what I was missing all those years. What did everyone see that I didnât?â
A smile crossed his face. âReally, love? You never noticed the way that fella looked at you? All wide-eyed and flushed? Or the way heâd run himself ragged during matches when he knew you were there, just to impress you? There was one Christmas he came home, and I swear he took one look at you and looked ready to quit football just so he could stay with ya.â He chuckled. âJust glad he finally made his move.â
âOh. Yeah.â You giggled weakly, pretending youâd noticed those things. âAnd was I just as obvious?â
âGod, maybe worse,â your dad chortled, slapping his hands together with glee. âWhere to start? Always finding a reason to talk to him, screaming like a banshee whenever you watch him play, and your mother and I overheard more than one late-night call to Sunderland when he was away. Iâm just surprised it took him so long to realize how in love youâve always been.â
Roy chose that moment, with your face starting to warm, to return. He nodded to your dad as he resumed his seat beside you. âAlright there?â He scrunched his eyebrows together. âYour face is all red.â He leaned close and planted a kiss on your cheek, relishing the heat against his lips. âFucking cute when you blush,â he hummed. His own cheeks reddened when your dad cleared his throat, reminding Roy that he had an audience. âFuck. Sorry,â he hissed.
Your dad held his hands up in defeat. âCanât blame you two for wanting to make up for lost time.â He clapped your shoulder lovingly and returned to your mother, who was watching you with a soft smile.
Deciding to let yourself lean into things as much as Roy, you leaned your chin on his shoulder, gazing up at him adoringly. âFeeling kind of tired,â you murmured. âThinking Iâll head to bed.â
Sure enough, he pecked your forehead. âIâll join you.â
Rather quickly, you noticed, Roy grabbed your forgotten desserts and carried them to the table Jim and Lauren sat at. You followed him, offering a small wave to everyone.
âGoodnight,â you called.
Lauren raised an eyebrow. âMore alone time?â
You wrapped your arms around Royâs middle and squeezed tight. âJust a bit knackered. And I know tomorrowâs a busy day, want to be well-rested.â
Jim offered a tight smile that didnât quite reach his eyes. âGoodnight then.â
Conversely, Royâs smile was wide. âHave a great night, Jim.â He nodded to everyone else before taking your hand and leading you inside.
As the two of you walked down the hall to your room, you couldnât help but realize that Roy was still holding your hand; you told yourself it must be in case someone happened to see you. That had to be it; Roy committing to this whole fake-relationship thing.
Once you were in the room, you each silently went about getting ready for bed, with Roy letting you use the restroom to change. You quickly removed your makeup, brushed your teeth (longer than usual), and changed into your pyjamas, feeling suddenly a bit shy in your sleeping shorts and oversized shirt. But Royâd seen you in pyjamas plenty of times; how was this really any different?
For Roy, it was completely different. His breath caught in his throat when you walked out of the bathroom and his grip on the t-shirt he was about to put on tightened. It wasnât necessarily the view- which admittedly drove him mad- but the knowledge that, in just a few minutes, youâd be in bed. With him.
Likewise, your heart hammered as you once again saw his bare chest- or âbear chestâ, as Paul once joked at a pool party. You couldnât tell if you were relieved or disappointed when he tugged on his black shirt, covering the hair and the light blush that covered his skin.
âDâyou care which side?â he grumbled, pulling back the covers. He knew he should offer to sleep on the floor or something, but he knew you didnât mind; how many times had you fallen asleep leaning against him on the couch? Or that time your families had gone camping and you had begged him to cuddle with you because it was so fucking cold?
Sure enough, you shrugged and helped him pull back the blankets. âUp to you.â
With a grunt, Roy threw himself on the bed, grinning when you did the same. âOnly took, what, thirty years. But look at us, our first slumber party.â
You rolled your eyes and brought the blankets over yourselves; Roy couldnât help but notice the tender way you made sure he was covered. âRoy, I spent the night at your house so many times growing up. We absolutely had slumber parties.â
He shook his head with a small breathy laugh. âCome on. You werenât there for me.â
Not knowing what came over you, you turned onto your side and propped yourself up on your elbow, your eyes tracing Royâs profile. âWho said I wasnât?â you teased.
It was Royâs turn to roll his eyes. âOh, fuck off,â he grumbled, smile playing on his lips. âGo the fuck to sleep.â
With that, he turned and clicked off the lamp that sat on the nightstand, leaving you in darkness, wondering how you were going to sleep with the knowledge that Roy Kent was right next to you. Miraculously, you did finally fall asleep, listening to Royâs soft snores that you knew youâd have to tease him about.
The next morning, you woke up with your head on Royâs chest, his arm wrapped around you tenderly as he continued to snooze.
Fuck.
Your breath became shallow as you tried to figure out what to do. Gently pull out of his grasp? Stay this way and hope he woke up and removed his arm? Part of you- fine, all of you- wished you could wake up this way every morning.
Carefully, you removed Royâs arm, the spot where his hand had been quickly becoming cold, and rolled over as slowly as you could, not stopping until you were flat on your back, a safe distance from Roy. Holding in a sigh, you stared at the ceiling, wondering if youâd be able to get through this weekend with your heart in one piece.

Oh my God, this mood board is just PERFECT for this chapter! Thank you!
Story: The Heiress
I did it! Over 11k words of the honeymoon chapter for The Heiress! As I hinted, it is definitely not just fluff and romance - it's not a story which would realistically allow for that - but I hope you will enjoy it anyway.

after all these years. ( robert crawley x reader )
gif belongs to me
There were many guests at Downton over the years, and you and your family worked hard to show great hospitality. However, the arrival of Lord Fernstly proved more than anyone could bear.
You knew your role as Lord Chantham's wife and you liked to believe you had perfected it over the years. You were a gracious host and you displayed genuine interest in your guests. Your childhood was spent with many tutors. You studied literature and music, but your true passion lay with art. Robert took you to art galleries as often as he could just to see your eyes light up and listened as you educated him about the paintings and their artists.
You met Lord Fernstly when you were a young teenager and he was resentful of the estate and title he inherited but loved the power. Once upon a time you bonded over paintings and sculptures and your father had envisioned a great match between you both, but when you met Robert at a society ball you were enraptured by his stories and related to his admission that the socialite life was difficult at times due to the heavy expectations. His knowledge of paintings came from books, while you had seen most of the paintings he named in person. The first time he asked you to dance sparked feelings you had never felt for Lord Fernstly and that night was the beginning of the end of your courtship.
Robert threw his hat in the ring and within a year you were married. Most people often look back at their past choices and wonder if they were right, but you knew from that first night that you were meant to be at Downton.
Due to your social circles, you saw Lord Fernstly more often than Robert preferred. Staying at Downton under the ruse of seeking your advice on buying a painting, Lord Fernstly was filled with compliments for you and your daughters who took after you by appearance.
Since his arrival at Downton, Robert was civil, but you had been married for a long time and knew when he was being sickly polite while he plotted the many ways he'd like to kill someone. And, there is no one he'd like to hurt more than Lord Fernstly.
During meals, you sat next to your husband but tonight you decided to get answers to questions you had regarding the painting he was buying, so you sat next to Lord Fernstly but across the table from Robert. Lord Fernstly reaped the attention and you were flattered that he still praised your beauty after all these years, but were under no illusion about his intentions. Nor was Robert, or your daughters, or the staff. Thomas and Bates kept close tabs on the Lord who always seemed to be popping up wherever you were even when you purposely sought solitude from him.
Tonight you intended to be the perfect host just as you were taught. Unbeknown to you and Sybil, your husband had warned Fernstly on his first night at Downton when he made a sly comment to Robert about 'stealing' you away and Mary was certain that if Matthew hadn't kept the peace the two would have come to blows in the drawing room.
You smiled as Lord Fernstly praised your keen eye for artwork, sipping your wine. "Those trips to the gallery were highly educational." You looked at Sybil as you squeezed her arm gently, "I try to encourage them but they have bested me."
Mary smiled when you caught her gaze.
"I would be hard pressed trying to find someone as remarkable as you." Lord Fernstly said, flashing a charming smile.
"You've mentioned that already." Your husband spoke up and you looked at him to see his hard gaze focusing on Lord Fernstly.Â
"Well, when one spends so much time surrounded by it, I can see how easy it would be to overlook it."Â
Robert ground his jaw as his mother quietly warned him to drop the subject whilst at the dinner table. "What did you say? Are you suggesting that I overlook her? I can assure you that she is all I see."
In a less hostile atmosphere you could have swooned at his admission, but tonight the air was sticky with the jealous rage radiating from the two Lords.
"And yet I rarely find you together. You seem rather determined to keep her within these walls. I remarked earlier that I rarely see her attend exhibitions at the gallery."Â
You straightened your back as you turned to Lord Fernstly in shock. Robert stood up from his chair and tossed his napkin on the table, knocking over a glass.
"I want you out of here within the hour. I will not have you snake around this house any longer." He stormed out of the room with Thomas on his heels and you glanced around the table.
"Are you happy now?" Mary asked, her gaze hard as she looked at Lord Fernstly.
Lord Fernstly excused himself and left the dining room. You exhaled as you met Matthew's gaze.
"Something you wish to share?"
The blond shook his head and you looked at Mary who explained that Lord Fernstly had planned this visit to rile up her father. He had never married which you had found odd as he was a handsome man, but you felt his personality severely lacking, and seemingly other women had as well. Not even his wealth had secured a match.
"If you will kindly excuse me I want to see my husband." You set your napkin delicately on the table, "Apparently we do not see each other enough,"
Tom's lips curved slightly as he met Sybil's gaze across the table when you walked out of the room. You headed to the main hallway, ascending the staircase, pausing halfway when you saw Lord Fernstly approaching with Thomas who was carrying his suitcase.
"Tell me that you see it. You are an intelligent woman, you must see it."
You raised an eyebrow, "What am I to see?"Â
"We were always a far better match than you and Lord Grantham." He began, "I would forget these years if you agreed to leave with me tonight."
"Have you gone mad?"
"You need someone who sparks that aching hunger. I can be that person."
"The only burning hunger I feel now is to have you removed from my house. I'll admit I was once enamored by your appearance, but your mind is not as sharp as you think it is. Farewell, Lord Fernstly."
You walked away towards your chambers and found your husband sitting on a chair, his jacket unbuttoned and bowtie undone. You closed the door with a small smile and walked to stand behind his chair, placing your hands on his shoulders.
"You do realize how foolish you are."
"Yes, forgive me for not allowing that swine to flirt with my wife."
You smiled as you leaned down, kissing his cheek. "That is not what I was saying." He raised an eyebrow and you continued, "I was saying that you are a fool to think that after all these years I could ever see anyone but you."
He turned his head slightly, "I am not a lover of the arts such as you are. I have tried to learn, believe me, but every painting or sculpture looks the same."
A giggle left your lips as you moved around the chair to sit on his lap. You placed your hand on his cheek as his hands held your waist, holding his gaze.
"You are a wonderful man. You may not know the distinction between a Mähler and a Goya, but I fell hopelessly in love with you for your wit, your protectiveness, and your good heart." You smiled softly, "So don't think for a moment that I would ever do something as foolish as to give you up. You are the one who holds all the cards in this marriage, my dear."
A smile formed on his lips from your admission, an eyebrow raising as he said, "Are you sure? It doesn't feel like it."
You leaned in to kiss him tenderly and his right hand rose to the nape of your neck, bringing you closer as he deepened the kiss, his tongue quickly dominating your mouth, causing you to moan into the kiss.
You put your hands on his chest as you pulled away, leaving his lap as you spoke. "He said I needed someone to fulfill a burning hunger. A never-ceasing desire...his argument was for knowledge and shared passion for art, however after all these years I have always felt it. From the moment you kissed my hand and told me your name."
Robert stood up and tore the bowtie from his neck, tossing it aside carelessly as he approached you while undoing the buttons on his waistcoat.
"And I you."Â
You backed away, climbed onto the bed, and lifted your dress as he hovered over you. You closed your eyes as he kissed your swollen lips, and pushed his jacket and waistcoat off his shoulders. Robert ran a hand along your thigh, rising to your lower back and bringing you closer.
People often looked back on their lives and pictured things differently. But you knew from that first introduction when he kissed your hand and couldn't take his eyes off you, that your life was bound to be entangled with his. And when you recalled the night your father told you that Robert Crawley had thrown his hat in the ring to win your affections, you never regretted telling him that it was the future Lord of Downton you wanted to marry because all roads led to him. And you didn't regret a second of it. After all these years you couldn't imagine being with anyone else, loving or craving someone the way you did him.Â

You Cannot Control Love
Warnings: none, itâs just super duper fluffy
Pairing: Matthew Crawley x female!reader
AN: oh my god it took FOREVER for me to do this request because I went through a very, VERY long period of Downton writers block. So so so SO sorry for the wait, hope you like it â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ also Iâd like to add this just so itâs clear, he DOES NOT cheat on Mary with you. He and Mary are never actually together in this, theyâre just being pushed together. Thank you.
âMary, must I come with you? I realize mama requested it but I donât see why.â You groan as Anna pulls your hair back for you. She finishes and you thank her as she leaves the room.
âI have no idea why she requested it but she did so yes you must. Come along now.â Mary orders, and you trudge behind her glumly.
The both of you mount your horses, a servant in tow and the horses begin moving, quickly arriving at their destination.
As you dismount, you glance over at the Crawley house in worry. Youâd never once met these people in your life. Though you met many people over the course of your life, that wasnât to say you enjoyed it. Your family required it of you and so that is what you did. Still, you were feeling nervous.
As Molesley announces your arrival, you overhear some rather rude things being said, making you blush a deep red. As you bite your lip, a man who you can only presume to be the new heir of Downton makes eye contact with you, clearly surprised at your presence.
Mary, being Mary, is polite enough to pass proper etiquette but of course she makes a few small backhanded remarks before she walks out the door.
âIâm sorry about my sister.â You mumble as you walk away from Isobel, the man quickly following behind you to walk you out. âShe can come off a bit rough sometimes.â You add quietly.
âItâs alright, I was in the wrong there. I do hope she knows it was only a joke though.â He responds worriedly.
You smile softly to yourself. âKnowing her she probably believes the whole thing is a joke anyway.â You say.
He smiles slightly, nodding a little.
âWell um... I suppose weâll see you for dinner.â You say and he nods curtly, watching as you mount your horse.
âYes, of course.â He agrees, stepping back. You wave kindly and tug on the reigns, guiding your horse after Maryâs and back towards Downtons grounds.
ââââââââââââââââââââ
âLady y/n, itâs time for dinner.â Anna says as she peeks into your room to inform you.
You stand from your spot, turning towards her. âRight, of course. Iâm terribly sorry.â You apologize, knowing that you shouldâve gone down a few minutes ago.
She leaves the room and you quickly follow, parting ways as she heads back to the servants quarters and you head down towards the foyer to walk to the dining room.
âOh!â You exclaim in surprise, finding the guests with their coats in the foyer and your father there to greet them. You were surprised they hadnât already made their way to the dining room. Your eyes land on the man from earlierâs and it seems his own are already on you.
âGood evening lady y/n. Itâs a pleasure to see you again.â Isobel says.
You smile over at her, your attention off of her son.
âThank you, you as well Mrs Crawley.â You agree politely.
âEvening.â The man greets, his eyes darting busily around the room.
You excuse yourself, feeling more awkward than youâd like, and make your way into the grand hall, standing next to Sybil.
âThey do seem nice, donât they?â She says joyfully.
You nod, smiling weakly.
âWhatâs the matter y/n?â She asks knowingly.
âHe seems rather... stubborn, does he not?â You ask in a whisper.
âPerhaps. I have yet to meet him really.â She responds with a small shrug.
After the full introduction, you all sit down to eat, quietly starting conversations. You focus more on your dinner than the company, not wanting to be a bother to anyone else in the room.
You overhear a conversation about the hospital, one about money and decided it was better to stay out of both.
As Thomas explains the way dinner works in the household quietly in his usual condescending manner, you resist the urge to roll your eyes. Though you often found Thomas amusing, you also found him quite rude at times.
âYes, I know, thank you.â Matthew replies, clearly annoyed.
Mary simply smiles at him in an approving manner.
âYouâll soon get used to the way things are done around here.â Mary remarks.
You sigh, knowing sheâs being rude.
âIf youâre implying that Iâm accustomed to a very different life from this, that would be true.â Matthew mutters back, clearly tired of the dinner already.
âWe canât all grow up in overly wealthy households Mary.â You mutter, hoping your parents and grandmother didnât hear.
Mary looks at you in shock and Matthew does his best to suppress the first smile youâd seen on him since youâd met.
The conversation shifts back to work related things, boring you.
As dinner finishes off, you go with the ladies into the sitting room while the men walk off to your fathers study. Once youâre bored enough of the chit chat, you excuse yourself again, wandering off into the hall and down to your fathers study.
âPapa?â You say as you knock gently on the slightly open door.
âYes y/n?â He asks, raising his eyebrows in question as you enter the room.
âI believe Carson was looking for you. I wouldâve thought heâd know you were in here but he is a busy man indeed so.â You explain.
He stands, walking over to the door where you stand, quickly moving out of the way.
âThank you for telling me y/n. I shouldnât be more than a moment.â He says apologetically to Matthew. He walks it into the hall and you go to take a seat near Matthew.
âShouldnât you be getting back?â He asks, an eyebrow raised.
âThe lady talk gets boring after a while. Besides, Carson wasnât really looking for Papa. I just figured you might need saving from that conversation.â You explain with a mischievous grin.
He laughs a little, smiling over at you. âYou were correct in that assumption, thank you.â He replies.
âAnytime. Iâm sure itâs difficult to completely change your life like this.â You say with a sympathetic smile.
âA bit I suppose but itâs not all that bad if Iâm being honest.â He admits with a shrug.
âWell, if youâd ever like to get away from it or not worry about it, come find me. Iâve gotten fairly good at it myself.â You offer with a smile.
âI do apologize for my behaviour when we arrived.â He apologizes suddenly. âIt was never my intention to come off as rude. Itâs just a lot to take in is all.â He adds.
You giggle a little. âNo need to apologize. Iâve got thick skin cousin Matthew. I can handle my own.â You tell him with another playful smile.
âI donât doubt that.â He tells you.
The two of you sit staring at each other for what feels like forever, stuck in the moment that was unfold right before your eyes.
âIt seems Carson was never looking for me at all. Not sure who told y/n he was but anyway...â Your father says as he reenters the room, letting the door shut behind him.
âOh, y/n, youâre still in here!â He says in surprise.
You stand quickly, brushing off your skirt awkwardly.
âYes papa, I figured you may not want to leave cousin Matthew all alone like that.â You offer as an explanation, resisting your wide grin as you notice Matthew silently chuckling to himself.
âIâm off to bed. Goodnight Papa. Good to see you again cousin Matthew.â You say quickly before your father can say anything else, quickly slipping out the door as you notice the grin on Matthews face, one of your own settling on yours as you climb the stairs and walk to your room.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Over the course of the next few months, you spent much time with Matthew. You knew your family was far too busy trying to marry Mary off to him to notice your absence. You rather enjoyed running around with him, spending so much time outdoors or in the library.
Before you knew it, you were feeling as though youâd fallen in love.
Still, your family was much too oblivious to notice. That became painfully clear to you one morning at breakfast.
âY/n dear, how do you feel about the duke of Crowborough?â Your father asks as he flips through the paper.
âI felt he was rather boring and shallow. Why do you ask papa?â You respond and he gives you a look of disapproval at your wording.
âY/n, we must marry you off someday. The duke of Crowborough was merely a suggestion but a fine one at that.â He lectures and you sigh, biting your tongue to keep from saying anything you may regret.
âShouldnât Mary be your main priority since she is the eldest?â You ask, trying to turn the topic away from yourself.
âWeâre trying but Mary can be very stubborn, as you know. Perhaps by chance she and Matthew will grow closer soon.â He explains.
You nod a little, eating your breakfast without another word.
Once youâre finished you excuse yourself, making your way outside to the small bench by the large tree near the edge of the property.
âGood morning lady y/n.â Matthew greets kindly.
âGood morning Matthew. I trust you slept well?â You ask out of genuine concern.
He chuckles at your worry, taking a seat on the bench. âYes it was fine.â He promises, gesturing for you to join him.
The wind blowing around gives a cool breeze as the two of you chat about anything and everything you can think of.
âYour parents seem very insistent on this marriage between Mary and me.â He says finally, bringing up the topic youâd been hoping to avoid.
âYes well, theyâd like for Mary to be able to keep her inheritance though itâs going into downton, not to you directly.â You explain. âItâs rather silly really, itâs quite obvious the two of you arenât going to get along any time soon.â You add almost bitterly.
âAre you alright y/n? You seem... dare I say jealous?â He asks with a small smile.
You scoff at the mere suggestion, staring down at the green grass below your feet.
âNot at all. I just donât think the two of you are suited for each other is all.â You argue, trying to keep him from seeing through your lie.
âAh yes well, there is someone Iâd probably be much more suited to be with.â He hums in agreement.
You raise your eyebrows in surprise, not sure what heâs trying to say.
âOh? And what do you mean by that?â You ask, nervously fiddling with the sleeves on your dress.
âI mean that I believe Iâd have a much easier and more interesting time being married to someone else. Or at least seeing someone else.â He says sheepishly, his naturally pale face now a pale shade of pink.
âAh. Well she is a very lucky lady.â You say sadly, frowning into your lap.
He chuckles a bit, gently pushing your chin up so youâre looking at him right in his icy blue eyes.
âThat lady happens to be you y/n. And I believe I would be the lucky one there.â He assures you.
Without hesitation, you close the small distance between you, softly placing your lips on his.
And that is where you share your first kiss.
ââââââââââââââââââââ
Many months after your first kiss, Matthew and you continue sneaking off together for time together.
Finally, as the family puts more pressure on Mary and him, you canât take it anymore.
When youâre alone together one day, you grab him by the shoulders, making sure heâs looking directly at you when you tell him what you have to say.
âMatthew, I canât watch any longer as my family pushes you to marry my sister.â You admit with a sigh.
He nods, waiting patiently for you to continue.
You take a deep breath. âI believe we should tell them all. At dinner. Tonight.â You blurt nervously, wishing you wouldâve told him earlier.
He looks at you with wide eyes, shocked by your choice considering it had been you who had decided to keep it from everyone else.
âAlright... if youâre sure youâre ready, so am I.â He promises, pressing a light kiss on your forehead. You rest your head against his chest, letting him hold you in his arms for a minute before pulling away.
âIâm going to go get ready, dinner is only about an hour or so away.â You tell him, kissing him quickly as you slip out of the room and back upstairs to your own.
Anna comes and helps you get dressed, quickly doing your hair in the process.
Once finished, you eagerly walk down the stairs, biting your lip out of nerves.
âAh y/n good to see you dear.â The dowager greets with a warm smile, squeezing your hand as you pass by her.
âGood evening granny. You as well.â You say with a soft smile of your own, taking a seat next to Matthew as well as Sybil. Once everyone has sat at the table, you discreetly put your hand under the table, feeling around until you find Matthews, holding it tight with your own.
âItâll be fine.â He says in a hushed tone, giving it a reassuring squeeze. You nod with a smile, wishing more than anything that you could just contently rest your head on his shoulder for comfort.
As the butlers make their way around the table, you glare at Thomas when he looks down at your conjoined hands with mischievously raised eyebrows directed at you. He quietly walks away with a smirk on his face.
You clear your throat, nervously standing up and looking around the table at your family as their gazes all slowly shift over to you.
âI actually have something to tell everyone.â You start. They raise their eyebrows and stare in curiosity.
You feel your face flush red, nerves taking over.
âY/n dear are you alright? Have you taken ill?â Mary asks out of concern. Edith gives her a pointed look, knowing that isnât what it is.
âNo no. Iâm- Iâm alright.â You muster as Matthew squeezes you hand once again.
Taking a deep breath, you finally decide to just spit it out.
âI know youâd like to marry Mary off to Matthew so she can keep her part of the estate and help take after Downton...â You start shakily. âBut I donât think that would be in anyoneâs best interest seeing as Matthew and I are in love.â You finally blurt.
âWhat? But you two have hardly spent even a moment together!â Your father cries, looking extremely puzzled.
âWe started meeting together in secret after that night in your study. We felt it best to keep it hidden.â You explain with a weak apologetic smile.
âAs long as that means I donât have to marry him.â Mary says simply with a grin.
âMary!â Your mother hisses, clearly angered by her lack of manners.
âWhat mama? If these two are in love I donât see why it should be much of an issue. You wanted to marry y/n off at some point anyway.â Mary argues with a shrug.
âFor once I agree with Mary. If theyâre so taken with each other, let them be.â Edith adds.
âFor heavens sake-.â Your father mutters.
âYou cannot control love papa, no matter how much youâd like to.â Sybil says with a smile.
You look between all of your sisters, smiling gratefully at all three.
âAt least now everyone knows.â Your grandmother cuts in, smiling amusedly over at you and Matthew.
Your mouth falls open in shock. âDo you mean to say that you knew granny?â You ask.
She laughs a bit at your surprise. âOf course I knew. You werenât exactly subtle, walking around together on the grounds. Iâve only been waiting for you two to get up the courage to tell everyone else. Or at least for one of them to notice.â She responds.
Everyone looks to her, some in confusion and some in amusement. Even the servants, who you knew were listening not at all very discreetly, were surprised.
âWell if my son is happy, I see no reason for me not to be.â Isobel says, smiling kindly at you. You quickly return the gesture, turning your attention back to your parents.
âPapa, Iâm sorry we went behind your back. We didnât think youâd understand.â You sigh, looking to him desperately.
He remains with a hard look, no expression of joy or any such emotions on his face.
Your mother sighs, reaching over and patting her husbands arm. âOh darling, let them be? You remember what it was like, being young and in love.â She coos, smiling at you and Matthew fondly.
You rest your head on Matthews shoulder, waiting patiently for your fathers response.
âI suppose y/n does need a husband... and it would still be one of our girls at Downton...â He mutters to himself thoughtfully.
âOh Robert just say yes already.â Your grandmother sighs, tired of his dramatics.
You giggle to yourself at her remark, still watching for his reaction.
âAlright I suppose you have my blessing.â He caves, smiling over at you.
âThank you Lord Grantham. I assure you, you will not regret it.â Matthew promises.
The topic changes over dinner but the entire time, you remain unable to suppress the ever growing grin on your face. Matthew continues to hold your hand through the entire meal though now it no longer remains hidden.
Once the meal is over you walk with him and Isobel back to the foyer to see them off.
âIâm very happy for the two of you, I hope you know that.â Isobel says as she reaches the door.
âOf course mother, and for that we are very grateful.â Matthew says, your hand still entertwined with his.
âYes thank you for your support mrs Crawley.â You agree, still grinning from ear to ear.
She glances between the two of you and opens the door. âIâll just leave you both to it then. Iâll be in the car Matthew.â She says with a smile of her own.
The door shuts and Matthew and you are left alone at last. You wrap your arms around his neck, leaning up and gently kissing his lips.
âWe can do this all the time now.â You comment with a mischievous smile.
He chuckles a bit, resting his forehead against yours. âAs if we didnât already?â He asks teasingly.
âWell now we no longer have to hide it.â You point out.
He nods in agreement, pulling away and grabbing his coat and pulling it on.
âNo we do not. I will see you tomorrow.â He says, coming back over and pecking you gently on the lips.
âSee you then.â You say softly and he turns and walks out the door, leaving you in pure bliss, glad to no longer have to hide your love from anyone ever again.

under the mistletoe
pairing : matthew crawley x reader
summary :Â christmas at downton is a new experience for you, but matthew manages to make it worth your while.Â
word count :Â 700
Based on this post.
Christmas kisses: More smile than actual kiss. A holds mistletoe above their heads while B rolls their eyes, but pulls A down by the collar of their ugly Christmas sweater for a heated kiss. A takes B by the waist and walks forward until they are around the corner, away from the prying eyes and hoots of the rest of their friends and family
Christmas with the Crawleys was nothing short of an adventure. You were still learning your way around the estate, with the help of Matthew and some members of the staff, but it was getting easier especially with the family beginning to accept you as Matthewâs fiancĂŠe.
It had taken awhile, what with Matthew seeming to move on so suddenly after Maryâs rejection and making the decision to court you. Some had been offended by the way Matthew âparaded you aroundâ as they put it, but it seemed they were coming around to the idea of the two of you together. Maybe the fact that you had talked it over with Mary helped, choosing not to give Matthew a proper answer until you had her blessing, for fear of ruining any idea the family may have still had of Mary and Matthew wedding.
You had been thrilled when she gave you her blessing. So thrilled that you had practically ran to Matthew, kissing him in the open for all the world to see, and accepting his proposal.
And now it was Christmas, and while the family had begun to accept you as a part of them, you still held a little concern. There was still the odd glance your way, and you were sure that Lady Grantham had been wandering about, whispering false words about you.
Those worries exited your mind, though, the moment you saw Matthew heading your way.
âDarling, what are you doing all the way over here? Away from the party?â He pressed a chaste kiss to your cheek when he reached you, smiling at you in a way that made you feel giddy.
âJust needed to step away for a moment,â you explained. There was so much going on around you, maids and butlers running from here to there, and if you were honest, all this laughter was beginning to make your head ache. You had decided to step into the hall for only a moment, just to get away. âWe can rejoin the party now, if youâd like.â
âJust a moment. I have a surprise for you.â
âMatthew.â You reached for your betrothedâs hand, grasping it and placing a kiss against his fingers. âNo more presents. Thereâs been enough of that for today.â
âWell, then donât think of it as a present.â Matthew grinned as he reached into his pocket, pulling out some sort of trinket and holding it above your heads. âThink of it as a Christmas treat.â
You looked up.
A smile creeped its way onto your face.
Matthew had brought you mistletoe.
You rolled your eyes, preparing to tell your fiancĂŠ how silly mistletoe was and how he simply could just ask, but Matthew didnât let you get that far. He reached up to rest his hand on the back of your neck, using it then to bring you to him, allowing him to kiss you. He was smiling as he pressed his lips to yours, leaning in.
You pulled away briefly to glance down the hall, turning to see if any of the family had spotted the two of you, but then Matthew was taking your waist and pulling you into the next hall away from any prying eyes.
You let out a soft laugh when Matthew put his lips to yours again. It was almost not a kiss at all, but you held him to you all the same, enjoying the intimacy of the moment. You knew Matthewâs flushed cheeks and slightly disheveled hair would be evidence enough for anyone to figure out what the two of you had been off doing, but in that moment you couldnât find yourself to care.
âIsnât that a lovely present?â
You loved the way Matthewâs eyes shined, almost like they were doing it just for you. Sparkling in the dim light of the hall. You let a hand trail down his clothed chest, letting your fingers linger just enough to see those blue eyes flash. âI thought you said it wasnât a present.â
Matthew sighed, before kissing you again, hard enough to make your stomach flip. You almost swooned. âA treat. Isnât that a lovely treat?â
âWell, of course.â

Hello!! Can I ask for a (male) ship for Marvel, Downtown Abbey, Star Trek and The Witcher? I am a girl in college studying Biology, I am kind of short, long brown hair and eyes, I kinda look serious and intimidating. I am a bit quiet and anxious if I don't know a person but become kind of bold and unpredictable (been told that) if I am confortable around someone. In my free time I love watching kdramas, reading books and hiking with my dogs. And thank you so much for this, please take care đđ
MARVEL - PROFESSOR CHARLES XAVIER
Wow biology, professor over here thinks ur so extraordinary and very smart. Since ur still in college heâll ask u questions out of the blue based on biology to see if youâll get it. He loves messing w u to see ur reaction. He feels so happy to have met u bc he feels he can be himself around u. Ur very into ur books and studies and learning knew things and the children make fun of him so when u have the same likes as him it makes him feel young and not odd. He wants to show every kid to u bc he is proud. He would be so happy if the children would turn out like you so he sets you as an example for his young ones. But he does like a night out and a little party so if u like to go to the bar and just relax a little and have fun he is super down for that. U and him will prob have a drinking contest between u two which Charles will prob win. He sometimes feels tho bc he is in a wheelchair that he is holding u back from the things u like such as hiking. He sometimes hates himself and hopes he doesnât ruin the relationship. You tell him he could never and that u love him. When you soothe him and praise him and just tell him sweet nothings in his ear he legit just kisses you because he wonders how did he get someone so perfect.
DOWNTON ABBEY - MATTHEW CRAWLEY
He is so fascinated by all the hobbies u enjoy. Korean? Like nobody talks about other parts of the world in downton. He loves how I like to learn knew thing and explore ur ideas and thinking. He finds u very different and unique but in a good way. Ur not like the rest of the snotty rich people that live around here. Matthew himself loves to learn new things so he wishes to learn more biology from u. Nobody knows tho if he really wanted to learn it or he just said it to get close to you. He likes how intimidating you look tbh it kinda scared him but then you introduced a new side to you and side he deeply treasured and loved bc u only showed it to ppl close to you. Matthew loves to take you to dances and gatherings to show you off and he loves to buy you new dresses and jewelry even if it may not be ur style he still does it to show you he loves you. He also buys you books that contain amazing information about the world. Matthew loves to kiss you and almost always has his arm on your Lower back. And in dinners or luncheons he is always either sitting beside u or in front of you. He just has to see ur darling face all the time it puts him at ease. He doesnât care either what ppl may say about u. Ppl talk and he wonât allow no one not a soul to disrespect you. He loves you no matter what and he is going to think that till the day he dies.
STAR TREK - LEONARD MCCOY
Biology, medicine as a doctor? Not really that far off thatâs why you assist and help Leonard when there is a short of staff. He understands ur learning still and makes this a training excercise for you. He tries not to pressure you too much but he just knows u can do it bc ur so smart and he feels u r almost there. Leonard is kinda ur teacher and heâs so glad to have met you. He thinks youâre gorgeous and he wanted to be urs the minute he saw u. U r a simple girl and u find pleasure in simple things which really attracts him. You also laugh at his jokes which he really likes. If u come in all serious and quiet one day he will make it his mission to make u laugh or smile. He loves that u r unpredictable because then that makes the relationship fun and exciting. He likes that u can keep up w him and handle urself he finds that super enticing. He loves to take u to a window showing all of space and he kisses u there and just rests against u talking about the future he sees u two in. He wants this for the long run and he is willing to risk his life protecting you from harm.
WITCHER - JASKIER
He finds u reading alone quiet and that makes him want to introduce himself and sing to u which ur like no pls stop. Geralt likes u and finds u a real help to the team. Especially w ur hiking. Geralt and jaskier think ur amazing at hiking and u go really fast jaskier is amazed at ur ability. He thinks ur super sexy to see how strong u are and independent but also like animals especially dogs he finds that so cute about u and vows one day to get u a dog u can call ur own. When ur in a bad mood or serious he will sing u a silly song to get u to cheer up and then crack jokes oh yeah heâs in love w u. He doesnât care about like anything else except u. Especially at night when u rest ur head against his chest he just thanks the stars that u r ok and safe and here w him. He wants to make u happy and loved so heâll do anything u ask this boy worships u ok. He thinks ur so smart and he like wants to be as smart as u sometimes cuz he thinks if he is not u may leave him so he tries to learn something new everyday and he really enjoys learning knew things from you. You expand his mind. He loves to give you forehead kisses or on top of the head kisses cuz ur short and he loves to do that to you. And whenever ur anxious jaskier will hold ur hand and not let go unless u r ok.

Kinktober 2024 - October 8th
Flogging // Swallowing // Cock Warming
Matthew Crawley x Fem!Reader
Rating: 18+, explicit
Word count: 400>
Warnings: cockwarming, PTSD mentions, war, disability mentions
Notes: sorry, quite a short one today! I ran out of steam after Frank yesterday, please forgive me!
Kinktober List || Masterlist || AO3
When Matthew returned from the war, it was tough, especially when you thought for all those months that he lost his feeling below his waist, full stop, no hope of it returning. But he proved them wrong. A lot of doctors had described it as a miracle.
But then, there were the night terrors. He would jump awake, drenched in a cold sweat from nightmares from the trenches. Watching his friends die, bombs exploding, even going into No Man's Land, above and beyond the call of duty. You could only imagine the horrors he experienced. You asked about it once, but Matthew only cares about the future, and didn't want to "burden you". So you focus on what you could do to help soothe him.
"It's okay", you rolled over to face him. You place your hand cautiously on his shoulder, reassuring him that he's safe.
Matthew rolls over to face you, he sighs deeply as he looks deep into your eyes, pleading with you. "Can we...?"
You stroke his face and nod, before starting to remove your nightgown from under the covers.
You were both experimenting sexually when Matthew was paralysed, seeing what he could feel, going slowly when he was getting sensations back. Sometimes you would just sit on his cock as Matthew slowly started to feel your warmth envelope him, watching the pleasure wash over his face. It also became comforting to him, even after fully gaining his mobility back, discovering it would also help ease his PTSD through the night. Knowing you're there, your weight and warmth protecting him, bringing him back to reality, letting him know he's home, safe and sound.
You wrap your legs around Matthew's waist as you position his cock at your entrance and slip him inside you. You stroke his hair as he sighs deeply.
"You feel so good", he mumbles, half asleep already.
"So do you."
You wrap your arms around his neck, his face nuzzling into your chest. The sound of your heartbeating is also very comforting to Matthew, knowing you're alive and well.
You can feel him occasionally twitch inside you when you run your fingers through his scalp. You rest your head on his, the smell of lavender wafting though your nostrils, from the soap he used as well as the oil he was told to wear to help him sleep at night.
You both start to fall asleep, Matthew still filling you up perfectly like a missing jigsaw piece.

Worry- Matthew Crawley
Pairing: Matthew Crawley x Reader
Characters: Matthew Crawley
Warnings: N/A
Request: @vanillabqrnes - Hi thee I was wondering if I could have a Matthew Crawley x reader were she is pregnant with his child and heâs really protective/ possessive around her?
Word Count: 569
Author: Charlotte
You had been encouraged from a young age to marry well and find love from there, not the other way around. Your father had arranged your marriage to Matthew and when you met, there wasnât an initial spark but with time you had gotten to get to know one another, and you did begin to love him. The two of you had a house with land and servants, and there wasnât a care in the world, at least not until you had been wed for three months and found out you were pregnant.
It had never been a question whether you would have children, it was just when. You had hoped youâd have some time to build your lives together before a child was added to the equation, but you accepted the change in plan and hoped for things to work out. Matthew was excited to have a child with you, but he changed a lot after he found out about the pregnancy.
He only wanted what was best for you and your child, but it took control of him, and he was desperate to make sure nothing bad happened to either of you. It was an out-of-control protection, leaving you barely able to think for yourself, let alone do anything without him panicking that somehow it would lead to harm to you or the baby. You appreciated that he cared but it was becoming tedious.
You started keeping things to yourself, not wanting to worry him more and just holding onto the belief that he would go back to the man you married once you gave birth.
As your due date was nearing, you realised something wasnât quite right. You were beginning to feel intense cramps in your abdomen but with whatever it was, you didnât want to let on to an issue with Matthew as it would only result in causing him far more stress. The pains came and went at regular intervals, but you tried to keep them hidden from those around you.
You were sat stitching onto a blanket for the babyâs nursery when the pains hit you again. A groan escaped you, instantly snapping your husbandâs attention to you. In an instant he rushed to your side, fear and concern within his eyes.
âAre you okay?â He asked.
âTheyâre just active today,â you winced, trying to smile to him but it was impossible to not show the pain on your face.
Matthew could tell that you were lying instantly. âHow long have you been in pain?â
âSince last night,â you admitted.
He let out a huff, more of frustration than anything more, as he rushed to the cord that he pulled to call for a servant to meet you both in the room.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â He demanded.
âI didnât want to worry you,â you said. âIâm sorry.â
He returned to your side, crouching down beside you, cupping your cheek in his hand.
âYou neednât apologise to me. I do worry about you both and that is why we are going to call for Dr Clarkson straight away to make sure that you are both fine.â
With his assistance, you managed to reach your feet, just as one of the maidâs appeared in the doorway, ready to be sent to make the call, whilst your husband helped you up to your bed, ready for whatever the doctor needed to do for you.

(3) Your Grandmother the Dowager Countess meets your fiancĂŠ Tommy would include:
(Crawley!Reader x Tommy Shelby. Peaky Blinders x Downton Abbey: Crossover.)
â˘dinner was perhaps something that Tommy and you were most nervous about. Yours and Tommyâs dinners in Birmingham were little more than two courses- a main and a pudding. But at Downton the set up was much more complicated.
â˘and then there were the wines for each course, and the cutlery and plates and how Carson and Alfred and James would weave around the table delivering platters and the such. Youâd done the best to train Tommy in how things worked, but so far all heâd really managed to learn was that with the cutlery you start from the outside and work your way in.
⢠after youâd rushed through getting dressed for dinner youâd dismissed Bates and helped Tommy to get dressed yourself. He felt uncomfortable in such formal attire, but for you heâd wear a clown suitâŚso white tie and tails is the least he could do. Youâd done your best to make him look like a gentleman, and he carried it off well! But you longed simply for Tommy. Your Tommy, the Birmingham lad that had so easily won your heart and swept you off your feet.
â˘you were both lucky that your Mother had set the seats on the plan so that Tommy was sat between you and Sybil, with Sybilâs husband Tom on the other side of her. So hopefully Tommy would simply be able to copy your actions and youâd both survive dinner!
â˘and of course there was the other big hurdle to overcomeâŚyour Grandmother, the Dowager Countess of Grantham. Youâd warned Tommy that she had a razor sharp tongue, and naturally, upon discovering the engagement of her youngest granddaughter to a working class unknown man from Birmingham her fiery side came straight out.
â˘she stared coldly at Tommy as he held out his hand to shake hers, so you took hold of his hand in your own and gave it a squeeze. Your Grandmother was at least a little warmer with you, and greeted you with half a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She disapproved of your choice of beau, but she still loved you.
â˘and then Carson called you all into dinner. To say it was awkward as you all sat down was an understatement! And as per the ârulesâ of polite society you were left talking to your Mother for the first course, youâd only be able to turn and talk to Tommy when the second course arrived. Fortunately Sybil was easily talking to Tommy, and she managed to make her actions obvious so that both Tom and Tommy could copy her and not put a foot wrong. You couldnât help but smile at the displayâŚat least until you saw the almost angry look in your Motherâs eyes.
â˘the first course was painful for you, but from what you could hear conversation was flowing easily between Tommy and Sybil- but as youâd been totally honest with Sybil in your regular letters and phone calls to one another, she knew pretty much everything to know anyway! You were glad at least to have one Ally in the family.
â˘Carson however was far less impressed with having to wait not only on Tommy but on Sybilâs husband Tom too. But neither man seated at the table commented on the cool service they received, when you could turn to Tommy in the second course you told him to ignore Carson, theyâd get used to this new world eventually!
â˘the conversation at the table did seem a bit stifled and awkward in general, but you did your best to ignore it.
â˘and ignoring it was going really well until Mary slammed her spoon down and ran from the room crying about an argument she and Matthew had had!
â˘unfortunately your Grandmother had caught the little nudge youâd given Tommy to get him to stand up as Mary left the room- he didnât quite grasp the rules surrounding about when to stand and when to sit when people left and entered rooms.
â˘so while Tom went to Matthew and Cora (your Mother) went to Mary, your Grandmother turned to you and Tommy. She had a twinkling look in her eye as she âopen firedâ about the alarming lack of basic manners and decency in the youth these days.
â˘your face went hot and you felt your blood start to boil. You were quite prepared to unleash a tirade against your Grandmother, but Tommy slipped his hand onto your thigh under the table, halting your verbal volley.
â˘instead he smiled at the elderly woman and nodded sincerely. âYouâre quite right Lady Grantham, Iâll be sure to mention those poor manners to some young people if I ever see any., better yet Iâll get my friend Winston Churchill to get basic manners added to school curriculums!â He smirked at her and turned on his charm, if you didnât know better youâd say that Tommy was flirting with those twinkling eyes. And it had the most extraordinary effect!
â˘at the mention of Churchill everyoneâs ears perked up, and you gave Tommy a warning glance- name dropping was ok, but Churchill wasnât exactly a friendâŚ
â˘but then something unexpected happenedâŚyour Grandmother laughed! She actually grinned at something Tommy said! So naturally, you couldnât help but smile too. Granny was absolutely smitten!
⢠âMr Shelby, I do believe youâre going to be an interesting addition to the family. But as we already boast a revolutionary chauffeur- sorry,â she held up her hands as Sybil started interjecting about Tomâs new job, âjournalist, and weâre soon to include a lawyer in our mix, your social class is hardly the reason why my son disapproves of you. No, itâs whatever hold you have over my granddaughter.â The Dowager spoke and cut off Tommy as he started to say he held no hold over you, the elderly woman just smiled. âLove is the most precious, expensive, costly hold. Youâve won yourself a Crawley girl. Best you look after her heart, and best you donât steal mine either!â She joked, cooing laughter that had all the ladies at the table smothering smiles. Who knew THE Violet Crawley would fall so readily for the charms of a Shelby?
â˘you couldnât help but grin at Tommy, and Granny stared at the picture of love she saw. Tommy still had a lot to prove, but she could see well enough for herself that you were both in love.
â˘across the table Robert glared at Tommy. He still didnât believe that this was love, he thought you were too silly and too caught up in the sex appeal the young man had. Little did he know the truth, so he closed his mind to the possibility, and he made a note to get his lawyer Murray to do some background checks on the Shelbyâs.

important writing/blog announcement!
Hi everyone, happy holidays and a happy (almost) new year!! With that said, I have an important announcement about my writing:
Iâve decided that unfortunately Iâm going to be deleting all remaining requests that have been in my inbox.
(TLDR: check the list below to see if your request isnât being written and please know this is nothing personal against you or your request. I simply want to start with a clean slate and focus on my personal writing for bit! Iâm also gonna be taking a mini hiatus to recharge. đ)
As you probably know, I havenât been super consistent with posting lately. This has been a mix of multiple things like being stressed/busy with school, feeling pressured to write, me wanting those writings to be âperfect,â writerâs block, and feelings of not really being âseenâ with my posting.
Some of these requests are months old (which I feel awful about) and are really hanging over my head. Like I said, the reason I take so long is because I get really in my head sometimes, but I also just donât have the motivation to write them anymore and going into the new year, I want a fresh, clean slate!
Under the read more, I have a list of requests Iâm not writing anymore if you want to check. If yours is on this list this is nothing against you or the request. I just tend to overwhelm myself and take on more than I can chew. Please feel free to resend these requests when I open them again (tbd) or send them to other writers if you wish! Most of these requests I really love and wish I couldâve written!
I also wanna say that Iâm going to be taking a mini hiatus in terms of publishing my own writing. I wanna get into a good routine with school and taking care of my health while learning to balance writing. I also have some personal ideas and series that I wanna take the time to write (both on here and AO3).
I know this was long so thank you if you made it this far, and thank you all for understanding!!
1. Daphne Bridgerton x Male!Reader
2. Anthony Bridgerton - playing matchmaker for Colin and Pen and fall in love themselves
3. Jack Thompson - he and reader have flirty banter but canât realize the feelings the other has for them
4. Steve Harrington - comforts reader on bad day and admits feelings
5. bbc Merlin - he and reader have a misunderstanding
6. Eloise Bridgerton x Female!Reader - based on song Bad Cinderella
7. Jaskier - based on song Fearless
8. Jaskier - reader is a princess who runs away, falls in love with jaskier, and gets taken back to her kingdom
9. Benedict Bridgerton - he and reader are best friends and he is scared to tell her his feelings until a childhood friend comes back and he gets jealous
10. Pope Heyward - ďżźhe and reader get togheher after Kie friendzones him
11. Matthew Crawley - any plot
12. Druig - modern day, he and reader live together and he gets jealous when pizza deliver flirts with you
13. Druig - stark!reader (Tonyâs older daughter)
14. Druig - angel!reader
Again, this is nothing against your or your requests, I hope you have a lovely day!
