Title: Letters from the Trenches
Fandom: Downton Abbey

Categories: Humor with a soupcon of angst. Epistolary.
Length: Short
Warnings: None

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] masterofhentzau

Summary: What exactly did Thomas and O'Brien write to each other during the war?

Review:
As it says on the tin, this fic is an exchange of letters between former-first-footman Thomas O'Brien and lady's maid Sarah O'Brien, during the war. They are their usual snarky selves, but near the end of the fic, Thomas's fear and O'Brien's concern for him shine through. There are very few Thomas fics out there, and, IMHO, this is the best of the lot.
