An English Summer by ohtobealady reviews
Cora Levinson has been given every luxury money can afford, but lacks the name to break through the upper realms of her American Society. Robert Crawley, the heir to the Earl of Grantham, has the name and family history, but is disappointed to learn that his countryseat is in danger of being lost. This is the story of a great opportunity and the way in which it presented itself.

The Frog and Nightgown Inn by WhatsABriard reviews
It was one of the oldest establishments in the village and had a very ignoble reputation. However, what it lacked in lush amenities it made up for in anonymity. For his purposes, the Frog and Nightgown was a most appropriate location. (Complete!)

A Moment Missed reviews
"...if you can honestly say you have never let a flirtation get out of hand since we married, never given a woman the wrong impression, by all means stay away. Otherwise, I expect you back in my room tonight." A 'what if' exploring how the narrative might have changed had Robert NOT gone back to Cora's bedroom at the end of Episode 6 in Series 5.

It's A Wonderful Life, Robert Crawley reviews
After another financial setback, Robert is feeling depressed and useless. Wishing he'd never been born, a guardian angel shows him what life would be like without Robert Crawley.

Slowly, Then All At Once reviews
This is a multi-chapter fic of Robert and Cora's early years. I hope to continue it through the Boar War at least. Ambitiously I might bring it up to the start of the series. But who knows. The story mainly revolves around Cora and Robert, but others show up too. The quote is from The Fault in Our Stars. Please Review!

Revelations reviews
Cora is tipped off that her miscarriage so many years ago may not have been a tragic accident...The idea for this story came to me after reading a Tumblr post stating how Julian should have brought the soap incident into light and let Elizabeth and Siobhan act it out. And I thought that would have been great. This is my attempt. AU for O'Brien's departure.

The End Series reviews
This is my take on the 5th series. Mostly Robert/Cora but all most all major characters make an appearance. Major character death. You've been warned.
