With the new season upon us, and fandom all extra-enthusiastic, I figured now would be a great time for this. Because there can never be enough Downton Abbey fic, and there certainly isn't enough now!

Sassy Gay Friend clearly needs to be written now, Thomas is a stupid bitch after all. Sybil would be the only person totally cool with have a Sassy Gay Friend.

Boop dee doo.
Branson held the door open for her as she descended, deferential in the transitional space between daughter of an earl and low-ranking nurse.
He caught her eyes, and tried to hold them but looked away, and Sibyl wished again that he had not said those things. The English know not to say those things. Women know not to say them. And there was Branson, putting voice to his heart in a way that shocked her and ruined it all.
“Branson,” she said, thinking: Branson, I am not ready for my life to begin, not like that, not while I am still afraid to walk into the cottage hospital. “I am sorry,” she said instead. “For what I said to you.”
And then Corporal Barrow appeared in the stone gate, standing hipshot with his face screwed up in a theatrical moue.
“Stop. Right there. Girl,” he said. "That is not how you treat them if you want them

Oh my lord... You do drama AND comedy! I am loving this waaaaaaaay too much, olol. (The mental image is hilarious. And now I want Julian Fellowes to make Thomas say the lines: "Look at your life. Look at your choices.")
You and your writing are gifts from the Gods, honestly! ;D

PLEASE PLEASE DO. Seriously, I will love you forever if you do. If only because the line "Now look, you want a drink of the Irish Spring?” had me laughing for ages, and for no apparent reason other than it's a fantastic turn of phrase :)

I won't be able to watch Downton anymore because regular Thomas is going to pale so spectacularly to Sassy Gay Thomas.
We should definitely get married tbh.

I was so not expecting this - utterly brilliant. I'll never be able to watch Thomas' scenes again without imagining this :)
