Rules: Tag 10 people you want to get to know better!
Thank you @isiloup for tagging me! :))
Favorite time of the year:
- Summer. Its the time of my birth month, really. Also the only season we have other than the Rainy season, which I equally love 😅
Comfort foods:
- Peanuts!!! Especially when studying or binge-watching, I eat peanuts and it has now been my favorite comfort food. Also pandesal, which is the most common bread roll here in the Philippines, best served hot and paired with coffee
Do you collect anything?
- Books 😅 I've had shelves full of books, a mix of what I've read and I haven't read yet, and every two-three months, there will always be a fresh set. I grew up in a family of bookworms, so yeah
Favorite drink?
- COFFEE!!!!! Anyone in my family will tell you that quite a coffee lover, especially one mixed with hot chocolate 👌🏼 For alcoholic drinks, I love soju and strong beers (tho I drink moderately of course, because I am still quite young)
Favorite music artists:
- I don't really have a specific favorite artist. If I find their songs good, then they're good. You'll see my Spotify playlist is a mix of old and new, and of almost all genres
Current favorite songs:
Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley
Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez
American Pie by Don McLean
Teenagers by My Chemical Romance
World's Smallest Violin by AJR
Insane by Black Gryph0n
Mr. Loverman by Rick Montgomery
1985 by Bo Burnham
Meant To Be Yours by the Original West End Cast of Heathers the Musical
Favorite fics:
- oOoOO that's a though one! I don't really want to play favorites when it comes to me reading fics because they're all good and unique. But if I really need to choose some, probably it be To Get To You and Jack & Jill Went Up the Hill by @mcgonneville , Strawberries and Cream by Lady Beaumont, Come Away With Me by Lady Cobert, and A Summer Ride by @modernamericangirl
Tagging (no pressure tho!) :
The DA Squad, of course! (@levinson-mannion , @ohtobealady , @abumperprize , @bella-caecilia , @cobertaddict , @whydidnttheyaskcora , @emma-hahn , @corasorangejuice , @avoverud , and @good-now-kiss-me )

So I've just finally seen Downton Abbey II (which means I can finally unblock the Downton Abbey tag!) and here are my thoughts in case that is of interest to anyone:
That embroidered blue coat Lucy wears just after her wedding is gorgeous, I want the same (that was my first thought so sorry, this costume-y note comes first)
I liked the idea of the movie, but I didn't like the actors though. Myrna Dagleish's transformation from "spoilt and silly girl" to "shy and grateful woman" was too sudden, even if it helped enhance Cora's kindness. Guy's romance with Thomas was unnecessary and I wish they'd kept Richard as Thomas' love interest instead of throwing him away and coming up with another romance. And Jack Barber was... nice, I just wasn't sure why they wanted to draw this romance with Mary, it would have been nicer to have them just as co-workers I think. And Mary's line "it feels good to a married woman to see she still can attract men" was too much like Cora's pseudo-romance with Bricker, so... didn't like it.
The villa in the south of France. Glorious architecture, stunning landscape, incredible colours. Loved to see Edith's wardrobe perfectly matching the landscape (all those oranges and teals... Incredible).
Nathalie Baye seemed a bit off to me though? I'm French and I watched the movie in English but something in her lines disturbed me. I think the dialogues have been written in English and then translated into French and something wasn't natural with them.
Cobert Angst. Unnecessary to some extent, because the malignant anemia has already been used for Lord Merton and I already didn't like the "Deus ex machina" effect. But that scene in the garden? Robert breaking down thinking he's going to lose his wife? I loved it. The sweet scenes between them (when he took her hand in the boat!) were so beautiful. Loved them from start to finish. Robert's own interrogations about his origins were a good way to put him in an uncomfortable position and to give him and Cora new challenges to face.
Edith and Bertie, on the contrary, were so happy! Seeing Edith starting to write again was so cute. Also, wow, this girl can dance? She makes smooth moves at the party. She looked a bit like Duchess during the jazz scene in The Aristocats (I know, I know, my references are odd).
Mary and Edith. I've always been a Mary stan but I didn't like her evolution in season 6. I'm so glad to see they're at peace now, they confide in each other and it warmed my heart. They even joke and tease each other, but in a nice and harmless way. The way they cuddle just after Violet dies reminded me of Sybil's death, and I could see how both of them improved over the years. Mary and Edith's relationship is probably my favourite aspect of the movie.
Speaking of Violet's death, I loved the way it was built up during the whole movie. Giving everybody time to think about it, and finally having a peaceful death at Downton, was all we could wish for her. I'm glad she had time to speak to everyone before dying and even to have the last word with Denker. Loved this Oscar Wilde-like last sentence.
Oh, and Tom's and Violet's scene when she admits she wasn't fond of him in the beginning but she loves him and is glad they're friends? Made me tear up.
The funeral was so well-paced, too! Mary's and Carson's scene was so sweet and inevitably reminded me of their scene in S4E1.
Also, if anyone knows where I can find a brooch similar to the one Violet wears before passing it on to Mary? I want good Downton Abbey merch, I'm tired of seeing shirts and mugs to be honest.
Another costume-y note: the burgundy silk dressing-gown Mary wears for approximately 10 seconds in her bedroom was gorgeous, I need it.
Molesley and Baxter's arc. So cute. Their happy ending is definitely worth the wait. The proposal scene was both funny and sweet, just like them.
Loved the additional plot of Mrs Patmore and Mr Mason, and the part Daisy took in it. It was just a beginning, so it didn't add too much new details into the film but it was enough for us to hope and I'm here for it.
Also, Carson being Carson. Enough said. Flawless.
That's it I think. My inbox is open to chat if anyone fancies to!

Hello can i ask you a question. . . what inspires you to like cobert much as i do?
Of course you can ask me a question Anon :)
There are many possible answers/ reasons I can give you to your question, so I'll just give you a few 😅
For one, they are so cute together! I love it when they share a glance or a smile. Robert's little phrases of saying 'I love you' and Cora's heart eyes at Robert never fails to make me smile and swoon! And don't get me started on the handholding and kisses! They love each other and I love them for that ☺️
I love the characters! Cora is such a sweetheart and so kind, she's too pure and must be protected at all cost 😅. I love her backstory, well the little crumbs of information we get, and I wish we could see more of her character. And I love my boi Robert 😅! He's often an nincompoop, or as we often phrase it 'a Donk', but he always means well. I believe he always has good intentions, and he definitely has a good heart. For being an aristocratic couple, they are both kind, generous, thoughtful, and caring individuals, which is expressed through how they treat their staff and love their children
They have quite a stable, secure, & loving marriage/ relationship. I always been a sucker for seeing couples who thrive in their longevity. Everlasting love is just a strong bond and something I admire, who doesn't? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Seeing a couple being in love with each other years (if not, decades) after they've been together, and continuing to be ever so in love is something we can all admire and hope to achieve in life. I just love seeing the security they often portray throughout their older years together, not so much angst but just simple secure love. They seem like the type of couple who doesn't always need constant kisses or touches, just being in each other's quiet company is enough for them to be happy and feel fulfilled & loved. But don't get me wrong, cobert has their downs just as much as their ups, they're not perfect. I like how they will themselves to stay together and resolve their problems. And when they move past their issues, it makes their relationship stronger (that sound cheesey & cliche af, but I think it's true, I'm sorry 😅). They can count on each other and know the other will always be there for them, and sometimes that's all you can ask for in a loving relationship
I also love their backstory. We don't get a lot of their story together, but we do get small hints throughout the show. For what we get, it sounds like something out of a typical love/ romance story and I'm all for it 😅; attractive girl needs a higher social rank/ title, falls in love with an English lord, English lord doesn't love her but cares & respects her and needs her money, unrequited love ensues, as time goes on English lord develops feelings and falls in love because he's only human and can't help it lol 😂. But seriously, I just love how their marriage of convenience grew into something so much more special & loving than what they both (or anyone) anticipated, especially Robert 😅. Plus, bonus points for them being like, "we don't subscribe to your social aristocratic norms, we will sleep together in the same bed!" They were a couple ahead of their time for that one 😅 lol
Hugh's and Elizabeth's acting is just the cherry on top! Their chemistry ties it all together to make the characters and the relationship feel more realistic for the audience. You gotta love their friendship and their hard work! ☺️
Well there you have it Anon! I could list some more, but these are the main reasons that came to mind for me. Thank you for the ask, here's some cobert cuteness for ya! :)

14 with Modern Cobert please? Love your work btw :)
Dear anon, please forgive me if this is not what you intended but I turned this prompt into a smutty one-shot… I tried to keep it T-rated, however, because it wasn’t specifically requested differently.
Thank you for your dear words <3 And feel free to request something else/something fluffy if you feel uncomfortable with this smutty fanfic (or something M-rated if that was in fact what you wanted to read) 😊 As I found out some of you enjoy the smuttier fics, I thought I might give it a try
14 – play wrestling
“Oh my gosh, that’s you!” Cora gushed, his phone in her hands.
“No, give it back!” Robert muttered.
Cora flopped down onto the hotel bed, a foolish grin on her face. She stared at his phone screen continuously. Robert shrugged off his jacket and pushed the luggage into a corner of the room with slumped shoulders. He grumbled something incomprehensible.
Cora was studying a picture Rosamund had sent. It was accompanied by a short message that read: Best wishes for my big brother! Look, you’ve been sweet once too. I hope you spend a nice day. I heard Cora planned something special… xx Rosamund
The picture showed a little two-year-old Robert, sitting on a carpet and playing with wooden bricks. He looked up into the camera with a surprised expression. He really looked sweet. But that was nothing new to Cora. His chubby face and big eyes, however, mesmerised her more than expected. She had imagined little Robert more or less like this, but she hadn’t anticipated that she wanted to cuddle that little boy tight and wrap his sandy curls around her finger so badly.
“You’re such a cutie,” she cooed and sank back deeper into the white sheets.
“Stop it, that’s not funny,” Robert rebuked grumpily. It was his birthday and Cora had planned a short trip to Edinburgh. Though, Robert questioned that they would see much of the city. It hadn’t gone amiss that she had booked a very nice suite.
“I’m not trying to be funny. It’s only the truth,” Cora remarked. Robert could only see the dark hair spread on the covers, not her face, from his position. But he didn’t want to see the grinning expression he knew was plastered on her face.
Ding. “Oh…” Cora mumbled.
“What?” he was alarmed.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Rosamund just send another photo,” Cora tried to stifle her giggles, but she did a horrible job at this.
“What photo?” he asked and stepped to the bed. She rose slightly from the soft mattress and turned the screen towards him. He blushed hard instantly.
“Give it to me!” Robert commanded. His neck was deep red now.
“Oh, Robert. It’s nothing bad,” Cora retorted and looked back at the phone again. The picture showed Robert as a toddler in a garden and he was trying to take a few steps. His back was turned to the camera, but he was looking over his shoulder with wide eyes. He was naked and the centre of the picture was his buttocks.
“Just look at that sweet bum! I’ve never seen such adorable buttocks,” Cora cooed and motioned as if to caress the buttocks on the phone. Robert couldn’t stand it.
“Stop it! Give me back my phone!” he exclaimed and kneeled down onto the bed in front of her. He extended his hand, but she pulled back until her back hit the headboard. Robert lunged forwards and she squealed giggling. She hid the phone behind her back and tried to evade his searching hands. He didn’t want to take advantage of his superior physical strength, but thought it justifiable to engage in a little game of light wrestling for the phone, that was in fact rightfully his.
“Robert!” she shrieked in a high-pitched voice as his hands brushed her ticklish sides.
“That’s not fair!” Cora exclaimed and escaped his arms by crawling underneath them. “First you must learn that there is nothing embarrassing about these pictures,” she explained, holding up the phone in front of her.
Robert tried to grab it quickly, but she pulled back instantly. He neared her slowly with a smirk on his face and she tried to decipher what he was up to. Her eyes grew wider with each movement made towards her. To Robert it seemed as if the blue in her eyes became brighter the wider they got; as if they captured ever more sunlight. She didn’t move, not knowing what his plan was. Suddenly, he lunged forwards and she pulled back surprised. The phone slid out of her hand and landed with a dull thump on the carpeted floor. She herself had reached the end of the bed and Robert pinned her down on the mattress, hovering above her. Her eyes were still wide and his face was only inches apart. His warm breath hit her cheeks and she felt the heat rising up in them. She grabbed his biceps tentatively. His hands were pressed into the mattress on both sides of her head. Cora ran her fingers over his upper arms, hoping that he, too, felt more of the romance of being this near than the former fury over the photo. She was about to search his eyes for a sign of his emotions when he crushed his lips to hers.
“Mmh…” she hummed at the firm press of his lips. Her arms sneaked around his back and she pulled him closer. She tilted her face slightly for a better access. Her tongue swept across his lower lip and he opened his mouth, sucking on her tongue instantly.
“Ah…” she moaned and Robert felt ever hotter under the collar. One of his hands slipped down between them and he rested it between her thighs on her core. She sighed at the welcome sensation. He started rubbing her gently through the material of her trousers while continuing the exploration of the inside of her mouth. She shifted her hips lightly to intensify the pleasure that build up inside her. Her hands wandered down his back until they landed on his bottom. She pressed him down until his hand was trapped between their hips. He rubbed more firmly until she writhed beneath him, and she broke the kiss, heavily breathing. She bucked her hips and whimpered lowly. Robert’s lips attached to her neck while Cora recovered from her climax.
His wet and sucking kisses demonstrated that he didn’t intend to end it there. As soon as she was able, Cora undid the buttons of his shirt and unbuckled his belt. She pushed his trousers down his hips and he kicked them off. His shirt hung loosely over his broad frame as he unzipped her jeans and freed her of her t-shirt. When he rose up a bit to pull off her shirt, he noticed that she laid precariously close to the edge of the bed. Her hair hung down onto the floor, and if she slid up just a tiny bit further, her head would be over the edge too. His hands slid underneath her shoulders and upper back to lift her up. She was confused at first but got it soon after that he sought a more comfortable position for them. She smiled at him with brimming eyes as he lowered her barely dressed body into the cushions at the upper end of the bed. Their following fervent encounter didn’t take long and they fell back into the sheets fully satisfied. It was just the prelude to his birthday present.
Cora turned to lie on her side, facing Robert. She propped her head on her hand and her other hand reached out to play with the curls on his perspiring chest. He hummed at the sensation of her soft fingertips, brushing lightly across his skin. Lazily he rolled over to lie on his side too.
“Robert?” she spoke softly. She inched closer, so that her hand was able to grab his buttocks gently. “Do you believe me now that there is nothing embarrassing about your buttocks?” her voice was soft.
His eyes snapped open at the memory of their light quarrel from before.
“Your bottom is both very sweet and very admirable,” she grinned at him and her pearly teeth were exposed.
“If you say so,” Robert relented.
“I’m very grateful for Rosamund sending these photos,” Cora resumed stroking his chest. “I hope you learn from them to not be ashamed in front of me,” she continued. Robert only nodded tiredly, knowing his wife was probably right.

Hi! I've been reblogging some of your amazing Downton gifs and was wondering who your OTPs and NoTPs are?!
Oh wow, hope you it hasn’t been too long since you dropped this into my inbox, I’m terrible with checking my Tumblr these days. Really glad you like my gifs, though it’s been forever since I posted anything :|
I started writing a response to this and it became longer than a midterm paper, if your interested in my reasoning and stuff like that I will leave it here below. The short answer is that my OTP is Cora x Robert (Cobert) and no one really comes close in terms of romantic relationships despite me liking other couples. My BroTP is Violet and Isobel.
As for NoTPs, I have a couple of relationships I’m not that into (see below if interested), but my only true NoTP is Jane x Robert (or really anyone that gets in the way of my OTP, but especially this one).
As I said above I really only have one OTP for Downton and that is Cora x Robert (which probably surprises no one since most of gifs are of them). They just check soooo many boxes for me, and their interactions in the first episode are the reason I kept watching. I’m a HUGE sucker for middle aged married people, especially when they have a complicated past.
The thing with Downton for me is that they have a lot of characters and so I only get attached to a couple of them and the rest are just fillers. I have watched some scenes a hundred times and others I’ve only seen once or twice because I don’t care about the characters that are in it. I would for example much rather see a new series about Cora and Robert’s beginnings (heck even their childhoods) than I would would want a continuation of the story without them, since they are my favourites and I only moderately care about the others (I would probably check it out, but I’m not sure I’d become such a huge fan).
That being said I do like some couples more than others. On the BroTP front, the friendship and rivalry between Violet and Isobel is one of my favourite relationships on the show. I really liked the scenes between those two and would rarely skip them when rewatching episodes. Also, Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton are both amazing actors and I enjoy most scenes they are in.
On the romantic fronts I liked Ediths’ relationship with Bertie the best, and I enjoyed the SybilxTom forbidden romance. I also liked Rose’s romance with Atticus, but I wasn’t terribly disappointed when they left the show. From downstairs I really liked the relationship between Carson and Mrs. Hughes, both before and after the romance angle and the blooming relationship between Baxter and Molesley was nice, but neither became OTPs for me, because frankly I just wasn’t as interested in the stories downstairs as I was upstairs.
The NoTPs are a lot harder since I don’t really have that strong feelings towards most relationships on the show. This may be a hugely unpopular opinion, but the relationships I liked the least were The Bates (Anna x Bates), Edith and Strallan, and, Mary and Talbot. All for completely different reasons.
I never really liked the Anna x Bates thing, it just doesn’t float my boat and I felt they had too much drama and yet were quite boring, but I do like them as separate characters, just not as a couple.
I always felt Strallan was too old for Edith and I felt the whole marriage thing was very badly handled in the show. I didn’t mind the relationship at first, but was glad when it ended in the last episode of season 1, and I felt there was no reason to bring it back in the first CS or the third season.
Now Mary is an interesting character for me because we are so alike yet I don’t really like her that much. Matthew and Mary were a given during the first season, so I never really rooted for them because I’m not really into the whole will they won’t they when it is already clear they would get together. It was just a matter of when not if. Despite it being sad when Matthew left, I wasn’t unhappy with it since then Mary could move on to other things (which turned out to be more men which was disappointing). The whole Talbot thing just didn’t excite me and I really wish the series would have ended with Mary remaining unmarried, I felt it was super rushed and their relationship just felt boring and forced (yet Henry and Bertie had the same number of appearances and I didn’t feel it as much with Edith and Bertie). I’m just not invested in this relationship and felt it was taking up screen time that could have been used to make a more interesting storyline for Mary.
Now despite all this babble I do have an ultimate NoTP, as stated above, and it is directly related to my OTP and I was wondering if I should even put this in here since in my mind it was all just a nightmare that Robert had and it never really happened. But his affair with Jane was by far my least favourite part of all 6 seasons. I still do not enjoy a good portion of season 2 because of this interaction. I’ve never even watched the scenes between them. To be honest I had even forgotten it was a thing when I was trying to remember all the different relationships on the show. What I felt was the worst about it was that we never had any sort of ending to it really and no resolution for Cora and Robert about this fling with the maid, unlike the incident with Bricker which had more consequences and a longer aftermath despite being far more innocent.
Hope this wasn’t tooooo long (it was), sorry about that I can just never answer stuff with short sentences :)

Downton challenge for you: Name your five favorite characters (in order, if you can!) and five least favorite characters. Your five favorite romances and five least favorite. And how would you rank every season from favorite to least favorite? Have fun :)
OH GOD BLESS.
YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN MY BABIES FOR THE TOP SPOT I CAN’T DO IT.
Okay here we maybe go.
My beautiful, sometimes problematic, always amazing faves:
1. Robert Crawley
2. Cora Crawley
3. Violet Crawley
4. Mary Crawley
5. Tom Branson
(clearly I’m an upstairs person)
If I absolutely have to pick least faves even though this is not a thing I love everybody:
1. Jimmy
2. Tony Gillingham
3. Daisy in the later seasons
4. Susan because omg really
5. O’Brian
Highest quality romances that give me heart failure with their flawlessness:
1. THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM, ROBERT AND CORA CRAWLEY
2. Edith and Bertie
3. Rose and Atticus
4. Chelsie
5. Tom and Sybil
Least faves I guess, even though this really isn’t a thing either:
1. Mary and anybody who isn’t Matthew (even though I wanted Evelyn to win from the beginning like even before Matthew, my kingdom for some Evelyn Napier love)
2. Tom and that one girl ughhhh
3. I will never forgive Strallen so there you go
4. Edith and Michael Gregson
5. That’s all I got this is hard
Seasons from fave to least (this is going to get so obvious that clearly I rank them by Cobert content):
One, six, four, three, five, two
P.S. I rank Christmas Specials very differently because season two Christmas > everything

16. Modern Cobert please 😘💕love all your cobert work Darling ❤️❤️
Thank you for the lovely request and the charming words! You don’t know how happy it makes me that you enjoy my work!
So, here comes some Modern Cobert fluff ♥️♥️♥️
16 – kissing knuckles
Robert wondered why he had agreed to attend Rosamund’s gallery opening. His sister had a taste for art he didn’t entirely share. In fact, he couldn’t understand at all how these contemporary paintings in penetrating vibrant colours could have any appeal. But if he was honest with himself, Rosamund’s paintings weren’t his reason of attendance. His reason stood beside a giant canvas that was covered with neon orange brushstrokes. Her piercing blue eyes set a nice contrast to the ghastly painting. When she felt his gaze on her face, her eyes found his and she sent him a brilliant smile of hers.
Robert had known Cora since they’d shared some courses at college. She came to England to start college and he immediately noticed her refreshing and natural way. Soon a dear friendship developed and they spent many of their classes laughing about silly jokes only they understood. But for a long time, their friendship was somehow confined to their joint classes. They didn’t meet outside from class; he had his established group of friends and she soon had hers too. Only when they both took a job at the same historical research institute, they got to know each other apart from their mutual banter in college. Now, they were known as best friends.
Unaware to any observing eye, Robert saw not only his best friend, when he looked at Cora from across the room but also his lover. When the chance to get to know each other better came up with their shared work, the strong bond, that existed between them, inevitably led to a burning romance. The thing they had, went on for five months now. But, there still was no label for their thing. They kissed passionately behind closed doors at work and spent many evenings at Robert’s flat. When Cora moved out of her shared flat into her own one, they “inaugurated” it together festively. Her only guest at her “inauguration ceremony” had been very attentive to all her needs and Cora’d hoped she had been as good as hostess. But no matter how far their thing had developed, it was still kept a secret.
“… And now, I don’t want to keep you any longer from letting the pieces have their effect on you”, Rosamund ended her speech.
They definitely had an effect, but one Robert didn’t feel like explore any further. Instead made his way to Cora. The mostly understated dressed but clearly wealthy clientele approached the paintings, whispering contemplative. His arrival at Cora's side was delayed by the necessity to get past the moving crowd.
“Do you enjoy the art?”, he asked when he finally stood beside her. She held a glass of champagne that was served earlier on.
“It is very interesting, indeed”, she responded while scanning the paintings.
“Interesting, yes. Ghastly, if you ask me”, Robert uttered.
“Oh, I wouldn’t go quite that far. You know, there must be reason, why the abstract works of art are that popular right now”, Cora stated.
He huffed. Cora had to supress a chuckle.
“Well, I would be disappointed if I’d come for the art”, Robert made clear.
“Oh, you didn’t?”, Cora acted surprised but they’d discussed it before-hand. She knew he was here because of her.
“No, I had a far more alluring prospect that awaited me here”, he leaned towards and whispered in her ear. Her hair stood lightly at the unexpected intimacy. His hand brushed her silky blouse and he was about to sneak his arm around her waist.
“Robert, compose yourself”, Cora implored as she gently pushed his hand away.
Robert knew exactly he’d crossed a boundary. Cora only granted him a kiss on her knuckles in public as long as they weren’t together officially. And he understood that. He’d no desire to explain themselves to others either. And he was glad Cora was as disciplined, because he sometimes struggled to hold his horses.
“But you know, you’re allowed to give me a kiss on the hand”, Cora grinned and tapped her fingers against her champagne flute.
He returned her grin and his eyes settled on her slender fingers and her manicured but natural nails, “May I kiss your hand, my lady?”
Her eyes gleamed and she giggled lightly. His lips caressed the smooth skin on the back of her hand, before they moved to her knuckles. He considered to kiss her knuckles one by one but decided to just linger for a moment. They weren’t only in public but also in company of his sister. They didn’t want to draw attention.
Cora was aware of the fact, that their thing was a precarious situation. It was a balancing act that wasn’t explicitly necessary. The farther they took it the more striking would be the revelation. She didn’t know how long they intended to continue this rather silly game of hide, but she couldn’t care less at the moment. His adorable manner in showing his affection while trying to hide it at the same time, was just too sweet.
“Your patience will be rewarded, Mr Crawley”, Cora said nonchalantly without looking at him, but he noticed the slight upturn of her lips.
“You may accompany me home”, she went on while letting her gaze roam the gallery.
Robert always was the one to whisper saucy suggestions while Cora was only making subtle hints in public. But her subtle way turned him on at least as much. He knew exactly, where her thoughts wandered when she said these innocent things. And now, his thoughts started wandering too.
“Oh, I’d enjoy that very much…”, was his response. They stood next to each other, both with a far-away look and a gentle grin.

4! 8! 21! Xxx
Thank you muchly, my love!4 - Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.Everybody can ship what they want but I find shipping real-life people with people other than their actual partner to be a bit weird; more specifically I’ve never quite understood the appeal of Ereri (in the AoT world). Vast age differences (and by association pedophilia), shipping a character with their abuser, and incestuous ships make me squeamish. 8 - Your oldest ship; the one you’ve shipped for the longest time?I’ve always loved Hawkeye/Cora (The Last of the Mohicans [1992 film]). Of my original stuff, though, I’ve been about the Re/Ohros (Project Orchid) for ages too.21 - Favourite thing you’ve ever created for a ship?I’ve actually not been so good at creating material for ships - canon character ones, anyway - so I guess the two Vignette drabbles I did for Cobert (Downton Abbey)? Of my original stuff, later on in the Project Orchid series there’s this entire spin-off of a subdued companion-to-friendship-to-romance for a certain Captain that I’ve been cruel to that I’m looking forward to obsessing over.
(Belated) Valentine Fandom Asks!
