Reasons why we ship them
Because Allen Leech is the captain of the ship!
Because they are steadfast in their love
Because they defended their love to all those against them and won
Because they are confident in their love for one another
Because their love is based in friendship that has built up over many years
Because he couldn't help overhearing that she was interested in Women's rights
Because he looked through the window to see her new frock
Because she was grateful for the pamphlets
Because he brought her pamphlets to read
Because she hopes that he does go into politics
Because she doesn't want him to go to prison
Because she is glad he won't die or go to prison
Because he is her ticket
Because he knows that she loves him
Because she knows he'll make something of himself
Because he will stay at Downton until she wants to run away
Because she knows when he's angry and troubled
Because she stood up for him against her father
Because he was more scared she was hurt than at the prospect of losing his job
Because they held hands so naturally
Because she is always goes to the garage to seek him out
Because he has promised to devote every waking moment to her happiness
Because she touched his cheek
Because she wants to know if he will wait a bit longer
Because he would wait forever for her
Because he is always staring at her when no one is looking
Because he smiled when he saw her in the kitchen baking
Because he knows she is enjoying her work as a nurse
Because they can discuss things as equals
Because he touched her waist and she felt the connection
Because she is willing to give up her entire world to be with him
Because all that matters is that they love each other
Because she wanted to know why he made a promise to Carson and not to her
Because she said "us" and didn't deny it
Because she has feelings even though she's good at hiding them
Because he has waited all this time and still can't believe she said yes
Because she said he could kiss her
Because all he wants to do is kiss her
Because he slept on the chair and gave her the bed
Because he can pay his own way
Because she gave him her heart
Because she will be true to him
Because she has decided she is going to marry Tom!
Because all he wants is to make her happy
Because of the passion for their beliefs and each other.
Because convention is merely a hurdle to be overcome rather than an insurmountable barrier to their hopes and desires
Because he said she looked "very fine" and she didn't mind him checking her out
Because she wondered where he had been all day
Because they have their own theme music!
Because she told her father that if he was fired she would run away
Because he offered to teach her how an engine works
Because he said it was up to her
Because it cost him all he had to say those things to her
Because if she didn't care she would have told on him all those months ago
Because he's frightfully full of himself!
Because he risked a broken heart and didn't care a damn for his job, as he loved her
Because if Granny says Sybil's husband will tell her what her opinions are, then she must marry a man who shares the same opinions!
Because they are a modern love story
Because she knows her own mind
Because he wants to make her happy more than anything else in the world
Because she won't give him up!
Because he knows she'll come the moment he calls
Because even Granny admits he has many virtues
Because of the way she said "and then we will marry"
Because they were the only two people smiling and happy at the funeral
Because her father gave them his blessing in the end
Because he shook her father's hand
Because they walked into their future hand and hand

I must say all this talk about donuts and fat thighs made me want a cupcake, so that's where I was, buying myself a red velvet !

Skipmaus I used your title, hope that's okay! I'm excited to read your FF when you're ready to share!

pippilongstocking not creeped out if I just thanked you for the follow then yes, you found me! -- not to creep you out, but I think we may live in the same city...

I am a very sad stalker. I tweeted Allen like 4 times and he never replied. I need to remember that in a few weeks I will be meeting and hanging out with the lovely hot Greek popstar I became friends with through FB to remind myself that I got a pretty good hand when it comes to online stalking.
don't feel bad, I tweeted him a ton today with no response... he was too busy causing controversy I guess

Luckily we have so many quotes to choose from. I hope they'll stretch until next autumn if S/T aren't in the CS.

I think you might've accidentally started two threads. I had posted in the other one but copied it over now.

I don't know about the fanfic. It's a modern S/T story. Would love to get someone's opinion on it before even thinking of publishing it

Yes, I didn't name the other one correctly and couldn't see how to change the thread's name...

I'd love to read it!

I don't know why I am so obsessed with making them modern. Maybe because they feel so contemporary. Writing it, it's rather easy to weave in bits and dialogue from the actual pairing.

Thanks for the new thread.

So looks like SB are not in the xmas special.

You know I’m glad they’re married (or seem to be) but darn we always draw the short end of the stick. So little scenes and screen time in S2 and now nothing in the xmas special.

These two have so much storyline potential and we are really getting nothing...even in S2 they got nothing. Sad. Again I love they are together but I also want to SEE them.

You're both very kind. Maybe I can e-mail you the first chapter. It's not easy writing in your second language, btw. Luckily English is much more beautiful than German

I'm still trying to remain positive about the CS.

Yes in the CS Press Pack during the interview with Laura Carmichael it is alluded to. They are talking about how Edith feels now her younger sister is married and Mary is about to marry Carlisle.

Cool, I've pm'ed you my email address.

I'm always in awe of people who can speak and write in a second language, I wish I'd focused more on that when I was at school!

No I mean about them not being in the Christmas special. I thought Allen confirmed he was in a couple of past interviews. I don't understand.

Its all pretty murky tbh. But its not looking good, they're not mentioned in the press pack or on the cast list or in any of the promo pictures. They also seemed to be elsewhere when scenes were being shot in October.

But then Jessica Brown Findlay is due to be interviewed with Laura and Michelle on the Jonathan Ross Show around Christmas time, presumably to promote the special and Allen has been doing a lot of promotion as well. So who knows!

TFTNT! Took too long to post on the other thread that when I was reviewing what you all wrote, it was already on the next thread. lol.

I was surprised by the fact that our dynamic duo wasn't in the Christmas Special press pack, but if they are happily married, is it really drama?

LadyUrsula - I will be posting my fic a chapter by chapter, but I want to make sure that everything makes sense and that plot threads are consistent and nothing is left dangling before I start posting which means I will need to write it out in nearly it's entirety at least in first draft before I can start posting.


Thank you Shi for your book list. I didn't find the Mary E Daly book that you recommended but I read some chapters of her other ones and they were quite interesting. I am reading The Slow Failure. Interesting bits about how marriages, deaths and fertility worked in Ireland. I hope you have a fabulous vacation! You so deserve it.

Pippi - I'm glad that you're looking forward to the fic. I will be addressing most if not all those items you mention. After all, they are setting up house and there's lots to buy, ship and arrange because it doesn't just spout out of the ground.

Skipmaus - GL with your FF. I hope you do post it.

Savannah - LOL on Tom eating whatever Sybil puts in front of him. That's a dream any wife wants, but I think that he would also provide honest constructive criticism so that she could improve.

Well then I'll keep the hope alive. I panicked for a second because it seemed like someone had unequivocal proof that they weren't in it all! Which made no sense.
