Summary
Canon-divergence in s5e3-4. Shortly after Thomas arrives back at Downton from a visit to his father, Cora receives a mysterious package with no return address. It contains letters and documents with the power to ruin the family name, and take them all down with it. Well, all except for one of them.
Inspiration: This is based on the so-called "spoiler" that was circulating in the early days of Downton's run on tv. The fan community seems divided on how much they hate it but I think it's a neat what-if.
There will be Thomas/Tom slowburn (OFC), along with a side woman character getting put with Edith. also a ton of drama, gossip, and a sprinkling of crime

Summary
Thomas was thirty-five when he realized he could categorize his life more easily through tragedies than joys. Forlorn lovers, failed business ventures, and attempts on his life marred any trace of positivity in his life. But when he met Richard Ellis, second valet to the King of England, months ago during the very visit he planned to write off as yet another tragedy, he found that, for the first time, he could chronicle his life with some joys.
And when the role of valet to Lord Grantham presents itself, who is Richard Ellis, or the rest of the Abbey, to deny him the opportunity?
As Thomas navigates his newfound role as butler, he must face the shadows of his past through the challenges of the future. Though this time, he doesn't have to face it alone. -

Summary
Edith Crawley, once bound by the expectations of English aristocracy, has left behind the comforts of Downton Abbey for the untamed frontier of Montana. In the aftermath of World War I, she seeks not just a new life, but a purpose—one that cannot be found in the drawing rooms and estates of her past.
Determined to prove herself, Edith arrives at the Yellowstone Ranch in 1922, a world as harsh as it is beautiful. Jacob Dutton, the formidable patriarch, sees her as an outsider unlikely to last, while his wife, Cara, views her with cautious curiosity. Edith, however, is not easily deterred. She throws herself into the grueling labor of ranch life, trading silk gowns for dust-streaked skirts and riding English-trained horses for the rough and rugged mounts of the American West.
