Welcome! This forum was set up in response to the dire lack of discussion forums for ITV’s Downton Abbey. You’ll find a number of discussion topics spanning characters, all of your favourite ships, alongside an RPG and a place for both fanfiction discussion and recommendations and posting your Downton related graphics. Whether your allegiances lie upstairs or downstairs, you’ll find something here for you. If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to contact a member of the administration team below. And above all, enjoy and play nice.
The year is 1916 and the war is raging throughout Europe, leaving the men fighting for their lives and the women manning the home front. The war has touched Downton deeply and now the Crawley family and their servants are feeling the ramifications. The days of frolicking in the sun and living the life of luxury are over and hardships and turmoil are affecting each and every one of them. Come along and join in – there are main characters still free and plenty of others too. We’re happy to let you fill in the story so far but we’re now running an AU of Series 2. Enjoy!
Outstanding Gwen/Branson, underneath the uniform for Nina Anna/Robert for Nina Cora/Rosamund, Robert away at war for Ale Cora/Sarah, a roll in the coal shed for Grace Louis/Thomas, Louis crossdressing and Thomas rather liking it for Ellie Robert, reflecting on his greatest mistake for Ariadne (and I'm throwing in a Cora/Carson as I so want to write them) Cora, new to England for Rose

Hmmm, Bex could you write a fic of Sybil's and Branson's 'Titanic moment' on the backseat, please. You can unleash as much smut as you like you are the artist

Ok, I feel greedy and guilty but I'll still give you this prompt Bex.
Prompt: Robert is away (he is in Boer war), girls are safely in the nursery under the watchful eye of their nanny, and Rosemund pays Cora a visit that will lead her to great discoveries about herself and love.
You are free to put in smut, femslash, anything that takes your fancy

Ellie, I love the real M/M. So this is where I've been going wrong all along!
Bex, I'd prompt Cora/Carson but that's too easy. Since you've gotten so many fun crack prompts, I'm going to go in the other direction and suggest a serious Robert reflecting on his greatest mistake. (And no, it can't be his romantic entanglement with Anna!)

Oooh Bex you are too generous!
You know what I'd love? Something of Cora when she first comes to England. First meeting with Robert, first impressions of the country, dealing with Violet, Robert/Cora scene... anything really!
