Alex51324
Fandom: Avengers, Downton Abbey
Genre: Time Travel, Crossover
Pairing: Tony Stark/Thomas Barrow
Length: Long (87,671 words)
Note: rec'd on fancake
Author's Summary:
In which Tony Stark ditches a boring party, makes an addition to the household staff, throws a much better party, and tries not to sexually harass his new butler.
Or,In which Thomas Barrow has a little trouble getting home from the pub, is generally unimpressed with many aspects of the 21st century, never thought of himself as a conservative dresser before, and may or may not be falling in lust with his new employer.
tl:dr: Thanks to time travel, Thomas Barrow becomes the Avengers' butler.
Review:
Another great Thomas story by Alex51324. She always does a really good job with Thomas and with whomever he's paired with. Thomas' struggles to deal with the world and the kinds of people who inhabit it 100 years later are really interesting. He's given some information packets and Steve (Captain America) tries to help but Thomas does an admirable job himself . The world-building and research is excellent overall. I particularly like the part in this one where Thomas uses a historically accurate pickup line (fortunately he happens to use it on a historian who actually understands). Also, Thomas meeting 90-something Sybie is really touching.
