Fics like Trust and Providence

What if Mary had trusted Matthew with her secret and immediately accepted his first proposal? An alternate universe starting from episode 1x06, interwoven with canon, that spans from 1914 - 1971. Major Sybil/Tom and some Edith/Anthony, Anna/Bates, Cora/Robert, Carson/Hughes. Includes depictions of intimacy, faith and philosophy, strong language, disturbing wartime imagery, racial slurs, and character death (but Mary/Matthew and Sybil/Tom end happily!)
