About

This fic is very strongly inspired by Downton Abbey, which might be obvious. While I have used and abused some of the plot elements of the show, this is not a crossover, nor does it line up perfectly with the events of the show.

As I’m not British, there are likely to be mistakes here but I have attempted to do my research. To learn more about the era featured in this story, as I have, check out the following links:
