My personal headcanon for the WH Mirror World is that Ishmael agreed to be a maid under the Edgar Family because she knew the heir was a sickly waif of a man who would probably croak from TB in a decade or two and she can train up to face Ahab in that amount of time, but unfortunately she got really attached to the sickly waif of a man she was banking on dying young.

#technically her uptie says the edgar family took her in and gave her a job but. you won't convince me she gave up on finding ahab again #still funny to me the pallid whale ate her entire crew and she was like 'i know that crusty sea hag is still alive'#AND SHE WAS RIGHT #i know in the WH timeline she's 'gregor's doting nag of a maid' but she's still ishmael. she still wants to find the whale.#i have half of a fanfic outlined in my head around this #her taking a job as a maid and training under ryoshu #gregor is midway through his marriage with catherine and she's busy building illegal mirror tech and pining for her ex #ishmael watched their marriage fall apart like. damn.#fwiw cathy does say she wants heathcliff and linton both so like. polyamory could have saved them?#loving the heathgreg toxic yaoi implications here #but of course that doesn't happen #then the whole ordeal with erlking and his sister (probably grete in this timeline? instead of isabella?)#when they finally have to face the wild hunt gregor brings up ish's mission cause he's kind of known about it more or less #he tells her she's free to go if she wants b/c she still has her mission #and ish says she wants to see this mission through first #does she make it? idk probably not we'll see #imagine her being the sole survivor of ANOTHER disaster #and erlking is another calamity she has to kill
