Summary
"Oh," Lady Honeysett said in a languorous tone, more breath than voice. "You must be the young man for Dickie. How too, too divine."
Bron, who liked to think himself hardened to the excesses of the aristocracy, was a little bowled over. He was suddenly an under-gardener summoned before the lady of the manor, trembling in muddied boots. Who's Dickie, he thought, and what could he possibly want with me?What's a lightly larcenous Bright Young Thing to do when London gets too hot for him? Accidentally con his way into a tutoring job for an aristocratic teen delinquent, of course! But honest work is harder than it looks, especially when you've got a slippery charge and a set of sticky fingers... Grab your Baedekers, everybody: we're going to Florence.

Summary
After being arrested for gross indecency with another male person, Thomas Barrow learns that he has a natural gift which will plunge him into a startlingly different society which exists in parallel with the one in which he has lived his life until now. He’s not entirely sure whether or not that’s a good thing….
Downton Abbey/Sentinel fusion. (If you are not familiar with the Sentinel, fear not: the note at the beginning of chapter 1 will fill you in on everything you need to know.) This story occurs in the same universe as my other Sentinel/Guide stories, but is intended to work as a standalone.
Diverges from canon toward the end of series 3 (3x07 UK or 3x06 US)

Summary
The Thomas Barrow Show follows the adventures of Thomas Barrow during series three of Downton Abbey. Find out what Thomas was up to during some of the times when the cameras inexplicably chose to follow those other people who are not Thomas, and what was going through his mind during the times that we did see him. (It is, by the way, not in script format; I just grew attached to the working title.)
The series is now complete, with 8 episodes!

Summary
Twitter is full of lunatics with roses and check marks next to their handles. This is the heartwarming romance on a dark sci-fi background I got when I put together a bunch of their insane conspiracy theories. Starring a very special FBI agent who only signed up to have his student loans forgiven and a lab-grown intelligence analyst/Parks and Rec character who has no idea what to do with his arms. Make this your risky click of the day!
