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 does not mind her taking charge of him.
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.

Your welcome

I didn't see any and I'm not a fan of the pairing. He was very pushy and Mary had to say no more than once for him to accept her answer. His "Matthew's dead and Im alive" proposal was not romantic and a bit insensitive.

Oh, please add me to the list

Evelyn's actually my 'last hope' the dreaded Mary/Gillingham pairing won't happen

Yay another fan I was starting to think Im the only one here

Honestly Evelyn is the most honest and genuine guy out of the three and our Mary deserves the best.

No, you're certainly not

Although I'm not a passionate shipper, I think he's definitely the best match for Mary out of these three.

I'm surprised though that obviously people don't like the pairing that much. Wonder why that is?

Yay! Team Marylyn all the way!

I think M & E have the potential to be endgame. First, he's obviously been pining for her for a long while. And she was thrilled to see him again. But most of all, *why* even bring him back if nothing will happen between them? Just to show the audience his broken heart? Not even JF is that cruel. I hope.

And yet...

But seriously, I agree. If Eveylyn isn't even going to be considered by Mary, they could've at least mentioned that he's happily married. That's all he ever wanted. Why make him forever alone?

Thanks for the fic recommendation

You can sign me up!

I think he's endgame. Why wait till Matthew died to bring him back?

Even if they don't end up together, I love the idea of them working out after he held a torch for her for so long. It's just so classically romantic.

Plus I'm a huge Anne of Green Gables fan and the concept reminds me of Anne/Gilbert.

fifty springs You're welcome

quaist, I think the reason is that we did not get much interaction since 4.06. We only got a few glances and Mary only talking to him once about Blake. I'm sure if we got more moments, they'll garner more reaction.

Humdinger, god that will be sad! I want him to get his happily ever after with Mary.

lassothemoon, I love love love your fanfics! I read 'Not a Vain Man' in one shot.

Gah! Has anyone else seen episode 7? I'm not sure if the ship got stronger or started a crash course for an iceberg. If it sinks completely I think I might actually cry.

I think it is stronger. Note that he was hesitant to even say anything, which is unlike the other two who are going to make her make a choice. Evelyn's waited, and will wait, because he realizes she's not ready .

The "competition" comment was nerves, I think. Did you catch the fidgety thing he does with his hands? He was distraught.
