Downton Abbey

Just a Bit of Luck

by Ellie603

“You could never be a fool to me.”  “Do you mean that, really?”  “I do. And I think you know how much.” Molesley spends the rest of the day after the royals leave helping out at the Abbey all for a chance to talk to Miss Baxter again to make sure he understood her words correctly. Could Miss Baxter really feel the same way about him that he feels about her? It would be beyond anything Molesley could ever dream, but sometimes dreams come true.

Little Brother

by Jolie_Black

Thomas turns back in the door. "Did you know he was still alive?"Phyllis shakes her head. "No. Not positively. But I hadn't heard anything to the contrary, either."Thomas holds up the telegram. "Sure it wasn't you who sent me this?”She smiles in the same indulgent way she has always done when anyone else would have snapped at him in anger. "Of course not. Now be off, and let me know how it went when you're back."
