Fandom: Downton Abbey
Pairings: Lady Mary/Richard Carlisle
Genre: Romance
Length: Long (Words: 136,375 and counting)
Author's Summary:
I'm not as sad as I should be. That's what makes me sad. The Titanic sinks, Patrick dies, and rather than wait at home to meet the new heir of Downton, Mary tries her luck in London, where she meets Sir Richard Carlisle instead. [Alternate S1]
Review:
Okay, as much as I like Downton Abbey, I'm not such a fan of Mary/Matthew. I just think Mary/Richard was so much more interesting to watch. Yeah, he's got a darkside, but so does she. With him, she was a much different character too, more dynamic, we saw her differently through her relationship with Carson and stronger in her own right whereas with Matthew, she's gone very flat. There was a lot of potential for drama there with Richard and this fic seizes that and runs with it.
