La Donna Ingenua

also known as LDI.
a sometimes writer of Downton Abbey fan fiction,
sometimes of original works. winner of three highclere awards & a raffle when she was 8.
loves all things literary, angsty, and hilarious, preferably if they include a good story and champagne. and p.s. if you're on this page, she probably thinks you're a darling. no, really. xx.

Also slightly embarrassing but i started watching the vampire diaries. Anyone know of quality and I mean quality, Damon and Elena fanfic? How cool am I?
