Sybil’s Favourite

Summary:

“I’ve never lit a Christmas pudding before,” Sybil confessed, as Daisy swirled the brandy in the saucepan. “I’ve always wanted to, but Mama never allowed it.”

~

AU where Sybil runs away with Daisy instead of Tom, and they get a flat in London together.

Notes:

Inspired by the prompt “baking”. The title is in reference to Edith saying Christmas pudding is Sybil’s favourite in the S2 Christmas special :)

Set during Christmas 1919 💖

Work Text:

“I’ve never lit a Christmas pudding before,” Sybil confessed, as Daisy swirled the brandy in the saucepan. “I’ve always wanted to, but Mama never allowed it.”

 

“Well, she isn’t here now.”

 

“No.”

 

Daisy struck a match and set the alcohol aflame. Sybil watched raptly, but her attention was diverted when Daisy handed her the ladle with a smile.

 

“Go on, then.”

 

Sybil’s face lit up like a child on Christmas day – which, in a way, she was. She eagerly took the ladle and scooped a little of the flaming brandy into it. Then, carefully, she poured it over the pudding.
