    Summary

    Robert and Cora perish on the Titanic along with James and Patrick, Matthew becomes the Earl instead of the heir in 1912.

    Mary is left to care for her sisters, and when Violet suggests an 'arranged' marriage between her granddaughter and the new Earl, both of them see its merits. An alliance forms between them, but will this lead to love?

    AU, but including many plot points from season one and two.

    Summary

    In Season 3, Matthew and Mary meet inadvertently outside of the fertility doctor's. Between failures of communication and Mary's surgery, poor Matthew thought Mary had "gone off" him. In this little story, Matthew needlessly twists himself into knots about his wife's newly acquired distaste for marital intimacy. Mary, naturally, doesn't help things at all.
