Take a voyage to America with Matthew, Mary, their children George & Victoria and Anna and her son JR.
Chapter XV of Passage is up. Excerpt below:
Stepping out of their car, he was met with a shrieking sound reminiscent of a fox with its foot caught in a trap and he mumbled, “What the devil,” before extending his hand to Mary.
That ear-piercing sound was quickly followed by another and he rolled his eyes at his wife as he helped her to her feet, recognizing the voice of the woman who was making the ruckus.
“What have you done to the Privett hedges?! The flowers are falling from the stem as soon as they bloom. This is unacceptable, Xavier.…Unacceptable. You must get to the root of the problem before we lose them all. Do you hear me?”
“No doubt everyone within a mile’s radius can hear her, "Matthew muttered before turning to Mr. Baker and thanking him for his service.
Victoria bounced out of the open car door next and took off at a fast clip to join her brother and JR, who had just exited the convertible with Anna in tow, blowing her nose into a wide handkerchief as she rose to her feet.
"Poor Anna. It appears her cold is getting worse instead of better,” Mary said, shaking her head. Then she tugged at his sleeve and said, “Come…let’s make our presence known. It might spare the gardener further lambasting for the moment.”
“Hopefully, it will spare our ears,” he quipped, seeing Anna and the children headed their way.
The front door opened then, revealing a tall man with a receding hairline who Matthew assumed was Martha’s butler, and he took Mary’s arm and led the way to the house.
“Welcome to Fairview, Lady Mary…Mr. Crawley. I am Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Levinson will be thrilled to learn you have arrived. She has been a bit anxious since the cruise mishap.”
At that, the rat-a-tat sound of heels on wood drew everyone’s attention and silence ensued.
She still has a heavy foot and some pep in her step, Matthew thought.

If there are any Matthew/Mary fans still missing their favorite couple, I have created an AU that brings Matthew back to Downton and the love of his life in a plausible way.
Hope you will come visit me on FanFiction.net, where Matthew, Mary and their two children are living a happy, productive life.

You know Downton should have ended this way.
Even though this beautiful couple was torn apart at the end of Season 3, they have been salvaged in fan fiction.
Please check out my Mary & Matthew AU on fanfiction. IF JF and DS would agree to Matthew returning to Mary, I’ve found a way to make that happen.

“Mary snd Matthew are sailing on the Olympic to America. Isn’t it exciting?!”

Face it, these two were destined to be together.
Silly car crashes and, worse yet, a silly used car salesman could not separate them.
IF you never got over Mary and Matthew, I hope you will visit my AU on fanfiction.net. There, Matthew, Mary and their two children, George and Victoria, are living the life they were meant to live.
It is also packed with history, romance, excitement, humor and, most of all, the couple you fell in love with 10 years ago, Matthew and Mary.
Come visit. I think you will stay awhile.

What if Matthew Crawley survived the auto accident? It could have happened.
This fanfiction is an oldie but a goodie. If you have not read, please take a look. I found a PLAUSIBLE way for Matthew to return to Downton and his beloved Mary even now.
If you have read it before and it has been a while, reread. I did and enjoyed the experience.
This was my first fan fiction and the bedrock of my AU, which provides you with a glimpse of Mary and Matthew’s life beginning in 1921 and continuing to WWII with more to come.
If you like it or any of the other 8 stories I’ve written, please let me know. Even a thumbs up will do.

Should have been last scene series 3.
“It’s a great comfort,” he said at last, “to see the sun come up and go down. When I dwelt in the cave, when I was in prison, it gave me hope, to see the light come and go, and know that the world went about its business.”
He was looking out the window, toward the blue distance where the sky darkened toward infinity. His throat moved a little as he swallowed.
“It gives me the same feeling, Sassenach,” he said, “to hear ye rustling about in your surgery, rattling things and swearin’ to yourself.” He turned his head, then, to look at me, and his eyes held the depths of the coming night.
“If ye were no longer there--or somewhere--” he said very softly, “then the sun would no longer come up or go down.”
He lifted my hand and kissed it, very gently. He laid it, closed around my ring, upon my chest, rose, and left.
