Why ship it?

1. He has high hopes for the institution.
2. He wants to marry for love.
3. He showed loyalty after being rejected when he did not speak a word of her affair with Pamuk.
4. He cares what she thinks of him.
5. He pursues her after 10 years from his initial attempt
6. Violet told Mary to choose either life or death. Evelyn's name means life.
7. Her face brightened when Evelyn came to visit.
8. She encouraged him to stay over, so she could see more of him.
9. He drives a Fiat.
10. He spoke against his boss in her defense.
11. They share similar views to love:
"I believe that marriage should be based on love, at least at the start." Evelyn
"Shouldn't there be some mention of love?" - Mary after Carlisle's proposal.
12. He knows about the Pamuk affair but doesn't care.
13. He can still call her Mary, of course.
14. She kissed his cheek. Immediately.
15. Because he suddenly thought "Why not take a chance?"
16. Because she's so glad he did.
17. He didn't want to bring Blake to stay at her home.
18. He's blind where she's concerned.
19. She's welcome to take charge of him.
20. She likes to take charge.
21. He reached out to Downton during the war.
22. JF can play this off as if it was intended all along and not just trying to throw something together after Dan Stevens left.
23. Because...FIDGET!!!
24. Who wants an old sea monster when you can have Perseus?
25. She was in his thoughts a great deal.
26. The first time we ever seen Evelyn on screen, he rides in on a white horse.
27. Because they're both such fidgety babies.
28. Because Cora approves.

TFTNT!

I see those fics again and I'm thinking perhaps it's time to read them now that I'm having E/M withdrawals.

ajblondie17 · 07-23-2014, 05:25 PM

I was excited to find some E/M fics I hadn't seen before! I added some of my own as well.

Hiatus is almost over!!!

Thanks for doing that.

It just makes me happy that this ship has such a strong following. I remember the days when there was no fanfiction. How far we've come!

Lauren60 · 07-28-2014, 01:13 PM

^ Glad to see you back Lasso! I was getting worried...

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 07-28-2014, 11:02 PM

Welcome back lassothemoon! And I agree. There's so much love for this thread. I really wish JF had gone this route with Mary's love life.

Fingers crossed!

And if not there's always fanfiction.

Right? I wasn't aware he was finished writing the show XD. Come on, positive thinking! There's no reason to think he has any less of a chance than Los otros niños.

I'd be more inclined to stay tuned before ruling it out. Because my money's still on Evelyn.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 07-29-2014, 11:50 PM

Yes there's always fanfiction. I'll live there if she doesn't end up with Evelyn.

I hope I'm okay to say this here, as it's not really a spoiler, but

Spoiler:

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 07-30-2014, 10:43 PM

Thanks for tagging. I'll probably lurk on the spoilers thread to find out more.

ajblondie17 · 08-24-2014, 07:14 PM

Just a few more weeks to go! Everyone cross your fingers for some good Evelyn scenes.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 08-24-2014, 09:34 PM

I've kept them crossed since the S4 finale aired.

ajblondie17 · 08-26-2014, 08:55 AM

I don't know if I can find it again, but there was a post on Tumblr not too long ago that showed how Evelyn visibly shows concern for Mary on his face, with a few examples from S4. I really do think he loves her, and I (really really really) hope she, in time, learns to return that love.
