Author has written 41 stories for Harry Potter, Greek Mythology, Downton Abbey, and Mansfield Park.

Lovely Mary Crawley icon by EOlivet.

Silvestria is fed up of scrolling past a massive profile every time she looks at this page and imagines her readers are as well.

To cut a long and tedious story short, she is English and in her early 20s; ridiculously well-educated. She wrote Harry/Hermione fanfic as a teenager and some of it was ok. She currently writes far better Matthew/Mary stories.

She RPs as Mary Crawley (find her on twitter as @Lady_M_Crawley) and co-writes Matthew/Mary fanfic with OrangeShipper under the pen-name of Of Sandwiches and Sea-Monsters.

Finally, Silvestria would like to thank every single one of her readers and reviewers for taking their time to read and leave comments. It is greatly appreciated.
