Inspired by that moment in the 2005 movie where they are inches apart during the first proposal. The tension always gets to me. I intended this as a one shot, but decided to continue. I don't own any part referencing something from the movie or book.

Picks up where the Special finished. Lots of happiness and smiling, and tea, and some downright silly antics. Chapter 12: The Epilogue. "For you are mine, at last."

What if the entail did put in a provision in case there were only daughters born to the estate? And what if Matthew had family obligations that required substantial monetary solutions? A long running AU story for S1.

A hasty decision leads to consequences that will change their lives. AU S2 - how it should have been! EPILOGUE NOW UP: All good things...

What you wish had happened during THAT SCENE in 2x04. And later that night. Pure wish fulfilment fantasy.

Spoilers for series 2! My take on the series 2 ep3 previews! some spoilers for some following series 2 eps also Mary/Matthew with probably more of a Mary focus. Despite Mary's wishes to remain silent on the matter, Matthew is made aware of her feeling

Based on the itv trailer for the Christmas Special. My take on the events of the ball. No copyright infringement etc. intended. No real spoilers. Chapter 2 most definitely M.

After Series 2, horrible events must be discovered for Matthew and Mary to finally see sense. Not vey good at summaries, sorry!

Post-season 2 finale. It takes time to heal some wounds, and Matthew wants his healed - but when it turns out that somebody else needs the healing more than him, he's willing to help them, whatever it takes. A dark story, eventually M/M.

AU sequel to Storm in a Tea-Cup. What if Matthew had followed Mary out of Crawley House as you all wish he had? In other words, a subtle exploration of the Slap Slap Kiss trope. For those of you who miss S01. Now with added heated rain kissing!

What Matthew considers a perfectly innocent comment leads to an awakening of feelings that he'd long thought dormant. S2 spoilers up to 2x07 previews. Very M!

"You WERE sure." Why was Matthew so certain Mary would give him an answer, and why did it seem he was so sure it was in his favor? S1, a bit of a S2 spoiler.

Mr. Darcy arrives at the parsonage to propose to Elizabeth, and things get a little more heated than the original version. What if Mr. Darcy couldn't keep his hands to himself? What if he treated Lizzy to a "taste" of what she could expect as his wife? ;

Matthew finds his busy day at the office interrupted by a very unexpected visitor.

"Peace on earth and goodwill towards men – and that includes cousin Matthew." It is Christmas 1913 and there are games to be played. Matthew/Mary with cameos from Sybil, Violet, Isobel, Robert, Cora and more.

AU/RST version of Strawberry Fields Forever. A little less UST and a little a lot! more RST. Mary and Matthew pick strawberries on a hot summer's day and get.. a little carried away!

Just what happened at Sybil's ball to make things seem 'so settled' between Matthew and Mary? Filling the gaps between eps 6/7 - Final chapter now up.

Set immediately after the end of Series 1. My take how a resolution between Mary and Matthew could be reached. Cue lots of soul searching and a good old argument!

Matthew gets hot and sweaty. Mary drinks beer. Then there's dancing. Matthew/Mary obviously with small side helpings of Anna/Bates and Sybil/Branson for blatant fan service. Set during S01E04.
