#mary lives au

[skyriderwednesday]

Reasons that the Devil's Foot happens pretty much like it does in canon in the Mary Lives AU:

Mary and Watson have three kids by that point, including a three-month-old, and small children are not relaxing.

Watson would not let Holmes fill the house with poisonous fumes if his kids were there.

As much as Mary is often the loose cannon out of the three of them, she would not let her husband and his partner gas themselves either.

(Though it would be funny if she was there but she'd. Idk. Gone for a walk. And Holmes was like, "quick Watson we've got forty-five minutes to do a dangerous experiment before Mary gets back!")

So yeah, Mary's back in London with the kids, waving off her husband and his partner for a nice relaxing break in Cornwall--

Only for them to come back like "Mary, you do not know the horrors we have seen."

Kierabeth lives AU

thinking about a Kieran lives AU where he and Mary-Beth sense the gang's downfall and run away together during chapter 6. They try and find whatever work they can, struggling to get by while taking the odd job or farm work, but eventually save up enough to buy some property together, similar to how John and Abigail did. They'd build up a humble little farm with chickens and livestock and lots of horses. Kieran pours his whole heart into the farm, building a safe life for them like he'd always imagined, while Mary-Beth takes care of him in return and still gets to write her novels in her free time.

One day while John, Jack and Abigail are out on the wagon for a supply run, John reckognises Mary-Beth's horse hitched at the front of a little farmhouse and goes to investigate. Cue a heartwarming reunion scene when Mary-Beth opens the door and everyone is so thrilled to see her, especially Abigail is so happy she's doing well, until she calls into the house "Kieran! you've gotta see this!" and everyone's eyes go wide. Kieran comes downstairs looking healthier and happier than he ever has, well groomed and well fed with fancy new overalls and welcomes everyone in, while Mary-Beth proudly announces they just got married this month. More overjoyed fussing from Abigail and a congratulatory slap on the back from John to Kieran and soon they're all sitting at the table having soup together, catching up and reminiscing about old times ^^

From then on, their visits become regular. Abigail being happy to have another farmer's wife to talk to and John and Jack going fishing with Kieran every once in a while. I can also really see Jack connecting with Kieran over his gentle temperament, Kieran and Mary-Beth would be the perfect aunt and uncle to him. Mary-Beth would buy him books and talk to him about the stories he's reading while Kieran can be a second role model and adult to lean on when he feels like he can't talk to his dad.

One day while Abigail and Mary-Beth are sitting on the porch together, chatting and gossiping about farm work and their husbands, Mary-Beth suddenly turns to Abigail and announces that she’s pregnant and Abigail is so overjoyed. She'd immediately be so dedicated to take care of Mary-Beth during her pregnancy, giving her all the tips, knowledge and experience she's learned from when she was pregnant with Jack and making sure she felt supported every step of the way.

After all the hardship they had endured, getting to see this child grow up in a safe environment - with not just, but two caring families surrounding them - would feel like a second chance for everyone. It would be such a source of healing for them, watching a child grow up in a world free from the fear and chaos they once knew, knowing they could finally provide the stability they had always longed for.

Five years old Harry is seriously concerned and Lily does her best to reassure him

Just a silly lil something I wrote a while ago, set into the world of my long fic

Lily is tucking him in for the night when Harry voices his concerns.

“Mummy?” he murmurs, looking pensitive.

“Yes, dear?”

“I'm sad for Ron and Neville,” he pouts.

“Why are you sad for them, darling?” Lily inquires, frowning in concern.

“Because they only have one mum and one dad,” he slurs with all the seriousness a five years old can have.

Lily has to summon all of her self control not to burst into laughter. She manages to only let out a soft chuckle. She should have seen this coming. She had thought about it before, of course. Both she and Mary and James and Regulus had wondered how Harry would react when he inevitably would realise their family is different from his friends' families. This is certainly not the reaction neither of them had envisioned.

“Mummy,” Harry insists, bringing her back from her musings, “what happened to their other mums and dads?”

“Nothing happened, honey. Some kids only have one mum and one dad,” Lily explains gently, really hoping not to mess it up.

“Why?” Harry asks, sounding confused. He's in that phase in which he’s asking why all the time. Most of the times, Lily struggles to find the answer. This is one of those instances.

“Because—” she starts and doesn't know how to continue. How can she explain this to a five years old? “Because not every family looks the same,” it's what she settles on. “Families can be very different.”

“Why?” he asks again, always curious and determined to understand. He reminds her of herself at that age. Always hungry for knowledge.

“Because people can love each other in many different ways.”

“But I love you and mama and dada and daddy. I would be very sad if I only had one mum and one dad. Are Neville and Ron sad?”

“No, darling, they are not,” Lily reassures her son, cradling his cheek. He's truly the sweetest, so concerned about his friends’ happiness. “Their parents love them very much and that's enough for them.”

“It's unfair,” Harry states, still looking upset.

“Honey, I promise you your friends are not sad. They're happy and loved, just like you are.”

Harry doesn't seem convinced. “Can we bring them chocolate frogs tomorrow? Just in case they're sad?”

Lily chuckles fondly and leans down to leave a kiss on his forehead. “Of course we can. Now, which story are we reading tonight?”

Chat what do we think about Oliver Banks (canonically having started getting the prophetic dreams around 2008) seeing Mary Keay’s death (happened circa 2008) as one of his earlier dreams. And then seeing the news reports about her „murder” and Gerry’s arrest. Contacting Gerry while he’s in prison for some reason, curiosity, guilt, anything? Meeting after he’s released, and getting info on the entities upon Gerry seeing the end’s mark on him?

Gerry can’t stop Oliver’s Becoming, but they grow close. Oliver gets someone who understands what he’s going through as much as possible, Gerry — his first friend. It makes everything just a bit easier.

oh, come on. everyone’s afraid of something.

Oh, hey Mary. That's a nice umbrella. Why are you holding it like that?

Oh, because it's actually a sword? Sick.

The metal is as cold as his skin was the last time she touched it

and as she lifts his silver urn

engraved with his name, ashes carefully sealed within

she realises

he is just as small

as the first time

she held him
