do we think helen saved ashley after she time travelled to deal with adam worth? she told will she had to let horrible things happen and watch all her mistakes (paraphrasing). surely she didn't mean ashley, did she? i like to imagine ashley and even james living at the underground sanctuary, taking care of it after helen resurfaces.

“Nope, sorry, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.” + Abnormal!Ashley?

So while this is set in the Abnormal!Ashley AU, she just gets to be nice and blissfully unconscious for this one. I have no excuse other than it’s 7am and I’m about to start a 12hr shift and I want to write Magnus family feels. This also happens to be my first time writing John POV!! Yes he is a little less evil vibes and a little more simping for Helen but hey I can write what I want

John goes to the trouble of walking down to the isolation room just for the luxury of being able to stand outside the door and watch for a while. No matter how smoothly he teleports, Helen always picks up on his presence right away. Like this, he has a moment just to observe.

Ashley is tossing and turning, still trapped in nightmares he knows all too well, a sheen of sweat covering her skin. Helen is at her side, stroking her hair, and—

John inches closer, opening the door just enough to hear her singing a rhythmic lullaby.

Her eyes are shining with tears as she sings. She looks exhausted. John wants nothing more than to cocoon her in his arms and bury his face in her hair, but he really doesn’t think she would let him.

It surprises him that she doesn’t look up, doesn’t even seem to notice him at all. Eventually he speaks, wanting to close the distance but not wanting to startle her. “Helen?”

She jerks up at the sound of his voice, but at least she doesn’t try to hide from him, doesn’t bother wiping away the tear tracks on her cheeks. “John,” she gasps. She presses a hand to her chest and shakes her head. “You startled me. She’s still asleep.”

“I know,” he murmurs. “I’m here to check on you.”

She looks down. “I’m fine.”

He frowns. “Helen.”

“What do you want me to say?” She snaps. “John, I’m… terrified. I never wanted her to be like me.”

John reaches for her; he can’t help it. “But she is, darling… isn’t that at least the slightest bit wonderful?”

“Wonderful!?” Instantly, Helen is on her feet, dislodging his hand from her shoulder. “How do you not remember how bad it was? When you would disappear at all hours and we never knew where you ended up? When we all had to be afraid of Nikola lashing out at the slightest provocation?” She shakes her head, her eyes flashing. “She doesn’t need this. She’s only just come around to her father being the world’s first serial killer.”

John holds up a hand in protest. “I don’t know about that. First famous serial killer, maybe.”

“Why don’t you get it?” Helen demands, a note of desperation in her voice. “Why don’t you understand how insane you make me, still? After everything you’ve done—“

“Let’s not,” he interrupts, stopping her with a feather-light touch to her sternum, just enough to shock her into silence. “No need to recount all of my misdeeds tonight, Helen, you’re not getting rid of me that easily. Believe it or not, I haven’t come here to crow—“ she takes his hand in hers, removing it from her chest, but doesn’t let go. “Or to wreak havoc…” he tilts his head, holding her brilliant blue gaze. “I came here to help. Because I want to be with my family.” He smiles, and he knows it comes across a little sad. “I may have missed teaching her to ride a bicycle, but I’ll just show her how to teleport instead.”

“You are an infuriating man,” Helen sighs.

“You loved me for it, once,” he suggests.

She returns to her chair by the hospital cot, but she doesn’t let go of his hand. John notices that it’s an old, plush rocking chair— her hairy assistant must’ve brought it down. John stands next to her, his hand on her shoulder. Helen twines her fingers with his and sighs sadly, looking down at Ashley.

“I do love you, I think,” she says, and the thought makes him sick. He wants to love her properly— she deserves better than wishing he were someone he isn’t. “But I know that’s rather selfish of me.” She sighs. “Right now… with what Ashley’s going through…”

“I don’t need you to make allowances for me,” John murmurs. “If you need me, I’m here. No strings attached… especially when it comes to our daughter.”

“I suppose I’ll have you as long as you stay,” Helen sighs. “I know you never stay put for long.”

As much as John wants to protest, he knows she’s right. He can’t stay here, not yet. He doesn’t deserve a place like this. He grips Helen’s hand tighter. He doesn’t deserve her.

In her sleep, Ashley sighs and groans. Her heartbeat on the monitor is far too fast. Helen strokes her hair.

This is all going to fall apart eventually, but for now, this is where he wants to be.

Rewatching the second half of the Sanctuary pilot, and... I'm only a few minutes in and already have so many thoughts:

1. Magnus and Henry's dynamic is... So weird. Like, it's really obvious how much the writers are still figuring out, because there's not really the mother-son dynamic that shows up even in episode 7. It's just... Weird.

2. Ashley and Henry, however, are Definitely Already Siblings. "I'm just going out to get some... Feminine products." "Yeah, feminine like a crate of Uzis?" "Dude, do you want me to get us some toys, or not?" "Hey, I never saw you."

3. When Will is talking to Alexi, at a certain point it dawns on him that Alexi just wants to feel safe. Everything he says after that? You can absolutely see that it was stuff he heard after his mom's death, when HE was in therapy as a kid. It's a real moment of him getting healing and getting to pass on the healing he once received, and as many times as I've watched this episode, I never caught it until now.

4. Also, Ryan Robbins (Henry) is listed as a guest star.

"Do you remember when you were small? You used to come into my room in the middle of the night. You'd crawl into my arms and you'd say, 'Mummy, I'm afraid.' Ashley... I'm afraid."

🇬🇧 I really love Sanctuary but sometimes I wish it wasn't made in 2008-2011. You know the dark and yellowish foundation, concealed lips, weird sweaters, french manicure, low waist jeans etc.

Poor Magnus and Nikola with yellow foundation, sometimes even with John Druitt.

Or that horrible blue and black sweater that Will wear.

Is there anything you don't like about Sanctuary? If yes, what is it?

🇮🇹 Io adoro Sanctuary ma alle volte vorrei che non fosse uscito dal 2008-2011. Il fondotinta troppo scuro e giallognolo, le labbra con il correttore, strane felpe, la french alle unghie, i pantaloni a vita bassa etc.

I poveri Magnus e Nikola con la faccia giallognola dal fondotinta, alle volte succede anche con John.

O quell'orribile felpa sfumata dal blu al nero che indossa Will.

C'è qualcosa che non vi piace di Sanctuary? Se sì, quale?

[petergirl10]

Ashley's "Mom" is so heartbreaking... Whenever I watch it I can't help thinking that it's literary the last real thing about Ashley that left in Helen's memory.

I even included it in one of my SPN/Sanctuary crossovers as Helen's post trauma and as secondary Ashley's trauma after her reviving.

These crossovers are a sort of fix-its probably.

The first one is about Tesla's reviving because after his death (it's au, yes) he can't go through the Veil because he's partly a vampire. Dean and his friend Ketch are helping him by offering to revive him to the God (who is not Chuck, it's post canon).

The second one is about a deepening friendship between Dean, Tesla, Helen and Ketch and dealing with abnormal's post death places of Sanctuary's world. SPN's lore has not a special place for abnormals. After their deaths humans go to Heaven or Hell, monsters go to Purgatory and that's it. Abnormals - even as being non violent creatures - supposed be to Purgatory also. In my fics, the God 2.0 found it out by Helen Magnus via Dean and fixing that. Firstly Ahsley goes to Purgatory also (she's dying as a vampire), but she was a kind of possesed and cannot make her conscious choices (including to be vampirised) and the God 2.0 accept it. He's giving her 2 options: she can go to Heaven or she can go down to Earth as a revived person. Ashley chooses the reviving, of course, and returns home. She's happy warm welcomed but later she's forced to deal with Helen's trauma (who's reacting at her "mom" with particular expression on her face) and her own torment of conscience as result of her own post trauma. Both of them are healing, of course.

Hi everyone! I know it's kinda early, but would anyone wanna join me in doing a festive fic exchange (Sanctuary based, naturally)? Just putting the idea out there for now, but if there's enough interest, maybe we can get something going? Lemme know - comment or DM me or send a pigeon an ask or something.

Just really fancy doing something community driven. :)

[sweetteaandpie]

doing a sanctuary rewatch and still after all these years cannot fathom why ashley was killed off. the writers could have done some other heartwrenching plotline without offing her. it was just so unnecessary and only to replace her with kate.

was it because magnus wasn't the typical mothering type and viewers were complaining about the dynamic?
