    Summary

    “I’m thinking of retiring,” Siegfried said conversationally to the board, peering over his glasses and it took a second for Audrey to process what he’d said.

    She doesn't take it well. But the outcome, in the end, might be worth Siegfried's considerations and Tristan's attempts to help.

    Inspired entirely by the description of the series 6 Christmas Special that "Siegfried has a decision to make".

    Summary

    Ted would be stupid to deny that Rebecca was desireable. He’d known it since the day he met her, when she turned around to greet him, in that rusty orange shirt that reminded him of the sunset in Kansas, when the corn burned under the gaze of the sun. And she smiled - she smiled like she knew you were prey, like she was counting every weakness laid bare before her.

    He liked being looked at that way, not like he was prey, but like he could be devoured. Because underneath the appraising look she gave him the first time they met, there’d been hunger.

    Summary

    Siegfried read the invitation aloud, “Mrs Pumphrey is back in the Manor, and she’s celebrating with a ball. Just like old times.”

    “Oh, that is nice,” Mrs Hall smiled. “Well, let me know if your dinner jackets need a wash or a stitch, I can-”

    “-Oh, no, Mrs Hall,” Siegfried held up his invitation, a smile spreading on his lips as he slid another from behind it. “You’ll be coming with us.”

    Summary

    “So, you didn’t invite her?”

    Siegfried laughed a little, “No, no I didn’t,” he confirmed, bemused. Then his smile slowly slipped, understanding dawning on his face. “Did that - were you… would that have upset you?”

    “No, course not,” she answered far too quickly, face flushing.
