Happy 50th to the Mary/Bash thread! One of the busiest threads on the board, that's for sure. Wonderful,
amazing and friendly bunch of people too. Here's to more celebrations in the future! ~ Lindsay {L i N D $ @ y}

I love Mary and Sebastian because it's unexpected. Their connection snuck up on me and that's the best
kind of pairing to root for. I love the person that Sebastian is. He is so kind-hearted and from
the beginning of the show he's always been genuine and sincere with Mary. It's clear that her feelings
for him are growing, but before they can truly be happy they will have many obstacles to overcome,
and that's what keeps me so interested in their story. ~ Alexa {tell me a lie}

The journey since our last celebration has been big. We finally had episodes that were centred around our
couple and I think that is a big improvement. It’s allowed us to gain more insight on the relationship forming
between our beloved couple. I fear, if I say much else that I will be repeating myself so I will end this by
congratulating every hard working and lovable mash potato, here on the forum. You have made this thread
the friendly, welcoming and heart-warming place that it is. I can’t believe we are on thread 50. I love ya’ll
beyond my words can express. ~ Jade {sourburst}

☀ quote summary ☀

I follow signs, I know they wind right back to you.
You're not alone here. I have my friends. I'm not talking about your friends.
Cause my heart is reckless, soon you'll learn.
Take care my brave son. Or you will bleed, for a girl who will never be yours.
Dark and dangerous times, Your Grace. But your presence brings light.
Now you know why the woods aren't safe. You went into them for Mary.
To see you smile is to feel the sun, Your Grace. Do you flirt with everyone? Absolutely everyone.
It's unfathomable. What is? Francis has you, why would he ever look elsewhere?
I'm in all the way. You're the first to come around and say the way I feel.
That kiss. I remember it. I regret that you are engaged to my brother.
Is that what it means to pay the debt? Human sacrifice. Bash wouldn't do it. I think he would, for you.
Could you to save yourself? No. But to save Mary? You threatened someone very close to me.
It's done, the debt's been paid. You're safe now. Bash what did you do?
You were both in terrible danger because of what you mean to each other.
Do you know why I warn you, why Francis has? Because there's a thirst inside her as well, for you.
I'm going away. Away where? Far. That's my destination as well.
It's just the start when it felt like the end.
Now get undressed. What?! Alright then, turn around. For the entire night?
What crime has he committed beyond ensuring my safety?
I can help. No. I jumped off a cliff with you and I survived, this time let me take the lead.
I'll be fine. Be strong, you have to. And if I do nothing, Bash will die.
Shall we start with your desire to protect Bash? You're fond of him, aren't you? I will marry your son.
Are you alright? When were you planning to tell me? Before or after my coronation?
Please don't be angry. I never wanted my brother's crown. But will you take it, to save his life?
You're going to be my wife. How very unexpected. I'll escape with him, showing all my skin.
When you say you feel trapped, I can't help but wonder.. I don't feel trapped by you.
I feel trapped by the politics, the rules, the formalities. What I feel for you is…
You would do anything for them, despite the risk to yourself or to your crown and I see that now.
And you think that's irresponsible. I think it's noble. Which is why I think you may not want this…in your heart.
And I want you to have a choice. If you don't want the crown, if you don't want to marry me I'll understand.
Mary, I thought about what you said. I never wanted a crown, but if that's my fate I'll accept it. I'll learn to wear it.
But you need to know something. I'm not Francis. My duty will never be to some country, some land, some throne.
If I'm married to you, you will be my family. I'll be in it for you and only you. And promise me this: you'll wait for me only.
