Downton marriage *squee* Also you go Lady Edith! And god Shirley MacLaine as the mother-in-law from hell (or America) vs. Maggie Smith the dowager grand mama just made me so deeply and profoundly happy.
I don't recall that fic but it wouldn't surprise me. Every time you saw them together I just had this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. She was so into him but you could tell he just wasn't that into her. Yeah I know he used the old "I'm too infirm and elderly and you are too young" thing but I sensed more than that.
As soon as I saw him at the altar pointedly *not* looking at her all I kept chanting was, "Don't you dare, oh don't you DARE!" Poor Edith, I want so much for her to be happy *sigh*. Of course she didn't do herself any favors by telling her fiancee that she wanted taking care of him to be her "life's work". The minute she said it I face palmed.
