Something Worth Having / by mrstater ()

Title:  Something Worth Having
Author:
[archiveofourown.org profile] mrstater 
Fandom: Downton Abbey
Genre: General, Romance
Pairings:
Richard Carlisle/Mary Crawley, Edith Crawley/Michael Gregson
Length:  Medium (Words: 10,215 and counting)

Author's Summary:
When Mary moves to London to escape painful memories of Matthew at Downton, she must face more than grief as former suitors and her estranged sister come back into her life.

Review:
Follows on less than a year after the end of Season 3. This story gives Mary/Richard a second chance.  It's very well-written and the characterizations are good.  The romance plot is developing at a reasonable pace for Mary's character while Edith's career and relationship has leapt ahead in the interim (she's certainly no longer "poor Edith").  Updates are infrequent but worth the wait.
