Title: Something Worth Having (13/?)
Author: mrstater
Fandom: Downton Abbey
Characters & Pairings: Mary Crawley/Richard Carlisle, Rosamund Painswick, George Crawley, Amelia Semphill (OC), Anthony Gillingham
Rating & Warnings: M for references to power dynamics in relationships; adultery; PTSD; terminal illness; widowhood; sex (in future chapters); spoilers for S3
Summary: When Mary moves to London to escape painful memories of Matthew at Downton, she must face more than grief as former suitors and her estranged sister come back into her life.
Chapter Word Count: 5700ish words
Chapter Summary: A night at the opera provides an interlude from Mary’s troubles; will it also prove an introduction for something more?
Author's Note: Extra special thanks go to vladnyrki for all her assistance with chapter. She always goes above and beyond the call of beta duty, but this time she proved invaluable in helping me get the opera details right (you can read more about those here), not to mention helping me keep the story’s emotional trajectory on the right track. This story would not have happened without her. If you haven’t read her latest story, An Unexpected Honeymoon is a great summer read. And of course, thanks to every one of you who is following this story and encouraging my endeavors. I’m so happy to have friends to share it with.
