Goat girl Corah by Ferima on Twitter

happy birthday!! i hope you had a good day!!

This is really random and I hope it's OK to send this ask, but I wondered if you happen to know if the Downton Abbey Cora x O'Brien (corah?) fandom is still in anyway alive?

I have followed you for a while but recently saw one of your posts come up in the ship tags and wondered if you happened to know? Haha I'm sorry this is so tragic!!

I think there was a fic exchange one Christmas, and coming up to this time of year now makes me think of that pairing because I read so many christmas themed fanfics hahaha, I would definitely not admit that outside of tumblr

Thank you so much for reading my rambling, I hope you are well and thank you for making my dashboard brighter with your lovely posts

aw, what a lovely ask to wake up to! 💘 so glad you enjoy my blog!

of course it's perfectly okay to ask! i think activity in the fandom - such as the xmas exchanges you mention - have unfortunately mostly died down with the show being off the air for so long, but i'm sure many former fans still hold these two near and dear to their hearts. i know i do! 🥺 the post i think you're referring to was fuelled by me rewatching part of the first seasons with my mum, and falling back into this ship hard. 👉👈 also, these posts of mine seem to still be gaining notes every so often, so in case you haven't stumbled upon them yet - i think most of the fics are still up! https://www.tumblr.com/ladynoblesong/172867484122/can-you-please-make-a-list-of-your-favorites-corah?source=share https://www.tumblr.com/ladynoblesong/172342747352/im-quite-late-to-the-party-im-afraid-but-your?source=share

finally, stuff still gets uploaded onto ao3 semi-regularly! a recent, absolute favourite of mine has been this fic which i really, really recommend: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43585545/chapters/109589166

O’Brien: tall, brunette, blue-eyed, maternal, kind, oblivious, self-assured. 

Cora: that sounds kinda like me, too bad I’m not a man. 

O’Brien: did I mention oblivious? 

Cora: yes?
