With the new season upon us, and fandom all extra-enthusiastic, I figured now would be a great time for this. Because there can never be enough Downton Abbey fic, and there certainly isn't enough now!
Misplaced letters, failed schemes, wavering resolve, and a manhandling by Carson - a proper malcontent you are not.Branson studied his reflection, still gussied up in footman’s livery, from the washstand mirror. In the low lamplight he appeared to himself as something of an actor, a copy attired in strange apparel and sinister intentions - a plotting footman ready to poison the soup

OMG. So glad you wrote this; I love it. All the comic scenes of bad-day crap happening to Branson (how much do I love to imagine him going to the driver's cottage at night to write bad LTEs) and him getting a bit lost in his silly idea...so many great lines, but for some reason
a plotting footman ready to poison the soup. just gets me. You know something's afoot when people make bad decisions in someone else's clothes! And the ending killed me dead.
