Brilliant parallel storylines here:
When you’re like me… you have to read the signs as best you can, because no one dares to speak out.
Beautifully written and directed sequence on Thomas’ struggles leading up to the kiss. Great acting, music, and dialogue.

It's here: the next installement of our fic, the long awaited-dinner party, which comes on the tail-end of weeks of heartbreak and scandal. Brought to you by myself and my wonderful darling of a co-author @laolafi . Come have a look, see what parts of canon we have messed with this time ;)
Summary: There is to be a grand dinner party at Downton Abbey. Stakes and emotions are running high. William is dreading it all.
I don’t even need a poll for this i can tell you for a fact that ivy stuart would be a swifty
would gay sex fix them?
ivy stuart & daisy mason (downton abbey)
yes
it would make things worse
gay sex DID fix them
gay sex is the PROBLEM
downton downstairs and how they eat their toast:
carson: lightly toasted with a very thin layer of butter on top. look me in the eye and tell me he'd like it done any other way.
mrs hughes: not the biggest fan of toast. prefers scones, but when she absolutely has to eat it, she likes it toasted with jam only. she is eventually influenced by mr carson and puts minimal butter before she slathers it in strawberry jam.
mrs patmore: toast connoisseur; she has to be the one to crisp the bread and will not eat it otherwise. butter and preserves are the way to go. in a modern context she is a marmite lover; not a huge fan of crusts though
thomas: eats it plain with absolutely nothing on it. will put parsley butter if available though (but it never is so the mystery of whether thomas actually puts condiments on his toast remains very much intact). avid marmalade hater.
o'brien: would be gluten-free in a modern context. does not enjoy toast. don't even think about giving her some she will bite your hand off
william: he likes english muffins. if forced to eat toast he nibbles at it until it vaguely resembles an English muffin.
gwen: cuts the crusts off her bread and gets the most bombastic side eye from mrs p. liker of marmalade and heckler of daisy's anti-marmalade stance
anna: does not toast her bread and likes a thin layer of jam, so long as it doesn't overpower that taste that makes bread, well, bread. likes scones more but isn't excessively picky about it. will occasionally pop scrambled eggs onto her toast, and gets mr bates into it.
mr bates: toasts his bread, and puts butter and jam in even quantities. apparently he is a liker of marmalade, but this was only said in response to thomas' denouncement of it at the table. does he actually enjoy it? we'll never know. crust enjoyed. as mentioned above he puts scrambled eggs on his toast every once in a while.
daisy: very particular about how it's done. she wants untoasted bread, lots of butter, and lots of jam, but not too much of either condiment or it'll make her sick. she despises marmalade and would actually cry as a child if someone forced her to eat it. always eats her crusts, and will eat toast as a midnight snack. she's clearly a fan.
ivy: no crusts, no toasting, no butter, and just puts jam. fights with daisy sometimes about their stances on how toast is supposed to be enjoyed. eventually caves and starts toasting it.
alfred: did not inherit his aunt's genes and is a huge fan of bread. he will literally talk to you for hours about baking bread and how much butter is too much butter. will literally not shut up about toast. eats it with what he believes is the golden ratio of butter (it isn't).
jimmy: likes it a little burnt. that's it he has no other preferences
ms baxter: anna got her scrambled egg thing from her. ms baxter is the original inventor of scrambled eggs on toast actually she patented the term
mr molesley: huge toast enjoyer. initially very adamant that it should be eaten with just butter but changes his ways after ms baxter comes into his life <3
