Driving Lessons by MrsTater
Today's Friday Fic Fave is an oldie but a goodie -- a Sybil/Branson fic that was completed over the summer, before season two began airing. The premise is fairly simple: Branson teaches Sybil how to drive. It's a great device to get the two of them close to each other, and it forces the two of them to own up to their feelings and face the potential consequences that acting on those feelings may create.
My favorite scene in this fic takes place toward the end of the story, when Branson takes Sybil to dance at a wedding reception. We get a great glimpse of Gwen after she leaves Downton, and we get to see the way that Sybil might fit in to a world very different from the one in which she was raised. You may have read this story already, but if you haven't, I'd suggest giving it a try!
