Aww sweet

I loved how realistic this scene was! I could see sweet Mathew reacting to Mary's changing body exactly in that way. So much love flowing between them. Brilliant writing once again! ;-)

Thank you so much for writing this. It wasn't just straight smut, it had meaning. It actually made me cry, with the new knowledge of Matthew's unfortunate fate. I know this is weird but I just wanted to say that you are a truly talented author and I'm happy that you decided to share your gifts with the world. Thank you.

Balm for the soul after watching the S3 CS...thank you. :)

What a beautiful story. Can relate to Mary too. Matthew so tender about how he tells her she's still alluring to him. How can you not love this guy.

Very nice and quite beautiful!

Ahhhhh omg so good oh I just love Matthew and Mary!

Wow. This is the first Downton Abbey I have read. How wonderful. Who knew that Mary could be so warm and receptive?.

loved it! i'm usually not a fan of older M/M, but this was a really nice portrayal of how they've grown closer throughout their marriage xx

I love this story. A blissful 10 years later :)

What a wonderful treat this story is! So well done. I hope the show goes on through at least the 5th season and that the same actors play my two favorite characters and that we get to seem them together ten years on!

Aw, that was so sweet! I love seeing a nursing mama in your fic!

This is in the "Second Honeymoon" verse isn't it? Beautifully done, and fortuitous, too, since I was just musing earlier today how I wished someone would write a love scene about a pregnant or post-pregnancy Mary struggling with body image.

Looking forward to your next LoAT update!

Very cute! I'm curious, though. Where did the name 'Ann' come from?

That was hot, but also real and sensual. Mary feeding Reggie and then putting him to sleep on daddy's chest was precious.
