AU Meme: Werewolves at Downton (Redone)
It was in his blood - something she couldn’t control, or stop, or even weaken - and that frightened her more than anything.
She remembered hearing her grandmother, in the old woman’s final hours, going on and on about how her family’s blood had been poisoned, how they should never have left their ‘home land’ - lamenting for this great imaginary power that had long since been diluted from the bloodline. Aged six she was more worried about her grandmother’s physical welfare than her mental, but on reflection the half-screamed stories, if you could call them that, explained a great deal about herself and her siblings’ bat like-hearing and apparent physical prowess; they especially explained what was happening to her nephew now.
Not that it was any comfort.
Brilliant stuff!!
Team O’B screencap. Feel free to loot.
Bates: “I’d watch yourselves if I were you. Don’t think I haven’t been watching you around Her Ladyship, Miss O’Brien.”
O’Brien: *swallows nervously at her secret being exposed*
Thomas: *evil glare* “Leave my best friend alone, otherwise you’ll be sorry. And you know what we’re capable of…”
DI Jan Shields - Wire In The Blood: Series Four, Episode Two ‘Torment’
based on the book ‘The Torment of Others’ by Val McDermid (the fourth book in her ‘Tony Hill’ series which inspired the TV program)
I’m currently reading the book, which is quite different and a lot more detailed than the episode. It also makes the fact that Shields is a lesbian much more explicit rather than having to ‘read’ her as such in the episode. I’m finding it difficult to put this book down!
Welp this is startlingly late, I’m so sorry.
In my defence I basically looked at this ask and had a panic attack so, ummm.
Made this a post rather than answering the ask normally so that I can shove this all under a read more because wow, I really don’t know when to stop talking.
This is more than awesome!
DISCLAIMER: i don’t actually hate robert, he’s just really easy to take the piss out of.
ROLLING ON THE FLOOR SCREAMING BECAUSE NOTHING WILL EVER BE MORE TRUE THAN THIS
Seriously, Cora, you need to propose to Sarah so you both can elope to New York and escape the madhouse that is Downton Abbey.
GET ON IT
But, you know, if for some reason you don’t want Sarah I could totally take care of her, you know, and play with her hair and make her tea and stare adoringly into her soul nbd
Love this!!
Thanks to eatsleeptv for their wonderful Downton Abbey Modern AU gif set here and the kind permission to use some stills to create these wallpapers. They fit in with my Benidorm stories Turning Tides and the sequel High Tide. Final chapter and epilogues of High Tide will be up over the weekend.

Anonymous asked: wait wait wait - what gender are you?
I’m female (hence ‘lioness’) hope that’s okay? ;)
