“She's his equal in every way.
He loves her. She loves him.”

the s t o r y so far
Francis and Mary both hoped to fall in love and didn't want to fall in love,
and they found themselves caught in a tangle of feelings and royal duties. And hurt.
And when love got too strong and eclipsed duty, more hurt came in the
form of a prophecy and Mary taking a road trip with Francis' brother.
Also porn.

“I remember it all. Every word. Every moment, for the rest of my life. I love you.”

“If you weren't the future King of France...
and I was just a girl, not the Queen of anything...
would you want this?”

"I remember it all. Every word. Every moment, for the rest of my life. I love you."

“But I'd save you, and we could go to Scotland and rule there.”

“Tell me when you want me to stop.”
“Never.”

“Oh I'll pressure you... and listen to you, and argue with you
...and love you until the day I die.”

"You know what my heart says now?
It says that I should forget about politics and be with you. No matter what.
You're a true queen. A queen that any king would kill for."

"It’s pretty obvious now, that for us to stay sane, we need to be together."

“I want you to know, whatever happens, that I love you.”

"They would have killed you! Why would you do something so stu–"
"Because I love you!"

"If I were just me, Francis, not the future king of anything, and you were just you, Mary… Mary.
Well, this would be the moment that I declared myself yours. Only yours."
"And I’m yours. Truly."

"I would rather have hope with you than certainty anywhere else."

“All I ever wanted was you.”

"You've been alone in your struggles your entire life. That's over now. I would die for you."

"What we decide is right, for our people." "I like that word. 'We' and 'our'."

“The fact of the matter is I am committed to you now.”

"After we rule, for a great long while, and we leave France and Scotland
to our children, and our grandchildren, and our great grandchildren...
and we meet our maker... you can ask him yourself."

"I told you I have no terms. I only want you."

“Together we'll decide what is right - as husband and wife.”

mary'spoem;
Sometimes in such a place
His image comes to me.
The sweet smile on his face
Up in a cloud I see.
Then sudden in the mere
I see his funeral bier.

When I lie quietly
Sleeping upon my couch,
I hear him speak to me
And I can feel his touch.
In my duties each day
He is near me always.

Nothing seems fine to me
Unless he is therein.
My heart will not agree
Unless he is within.
I lack all perfection
In my cruel dejection

awww that title - their last happy moment together

Always with the great titles, Bree! TFTNT.

tftnt Bree!

kirblu22 · 01-31-2014, 03:05 AM

Tftnt. Seriously. If it wasn't for all of you on here. I probably wouldn't have been prepared for all of the Mary & Bash scenes we got & are going to get. Don't jump off ship, yet. I just think they could've at least had Francis for 1-2 scenes this episode. Then, have him leave for the next to go on his "travels." Storylines are all about execution. Didn't Bash tell Mary in this episode that he knows he's not Francis? Again. Thanks!

I know.. I'm afraid you're right. I feel like after this ep so many Frary fans has disappeared. Like tumblr and stuff is just DEAD right now.

Bree347 · 01-31-2014, 03:08 AM

The scene from this title, as Laura pointed out, is a great parallel to the last MB scene of 1x10. Mary is happy to hear they'll fulfil their duty to both nations together, as a team, whilst in 1x10 Bash tells her his duty would never be to a nation but to her. And she kisses him like she's saying "aw thanks, that's sweet." But we all know it's not what she really wants or needs.

And from the last thread, which I just read:

2) none of the tweets we sent to the writers were not even about Frary! They all boiled down to "why on earth do you think we want to see another guest star suck up screen time to just die in the end and not have A SINGLE SHOT of a character that we all grew to love for ten episodes? And why would you think the seen-a-million-time story of a poor pregnant girl is more interesting to tell and watch than the barely seen before story of a future King who lost EVERYTHING HE EVER HAD because his fiancée loves him too much?" Some of us were even as pissed about the absence of Leith than we were about Francis's absence;
3) I saw no ****ing one react when Mash shippers mass tweeted to the writers that they were done with the show after Laurie's interview, now, did I?;
4) If you can't handle the falling out of a ship war, maybe you shouldn't ****ing base all your show promo stuff over "team Francis" and "team Bash" ****;
5) there's literally nothing I hate more than condescending, unprofessional behaviour, and Adelaide sure as hell displayed both with her tweets from hell.

And the ****ing Tobelaide selfie, like we're some kind of petulant children who will forget everything as long as we get a new toy. Once again we all KNEW that the dumb Mash fest was coming; what we didn't expect was seeing Francis's struggles ERASED WITH A SINGLE GODDAMN LINE.

gOD I'm way too angry about that.

Yes, yes and yes.

A Hot Mess · 01-31-2014, 03:11 AM

I'm probably going to get hate for this, but was anyone else REALLY annoyed with Mary this ep? Like the way she went into Catherines room and ordered those people around. It was like... hello, she's still the queen and your Scotlands Queen.. you have no power here, yet.

***One Thing Remains*** · 01-31-2014, 03:12 AM

I have to get to bed guys. See you tomorrow

try to have good Frary dreams. We will get through this story arc, together, one episode at a time

Bree347 · 01-31-2014, 03:16 AM

noooo, Bree. Don't put that out there! If she becomes preggo's who's baby are they going to think it is?!

The title

Mary was pretty much in a fixing mode, IMO. "I'm gonna teach Bash everything about being a King, and he's gonna make it, and everything is gonna be alright. Everyone will do exactly what I said, and everything will be alright".

A Hot Mess · 01-31-2014, 03:24 AM

I think the hardest part for me is, I'm having a hard time seeing Mary feel anything for Francis. Like, show us a little mourning. You've just lost the love of your life because you can't marry him.

To me that makes perfect sense for how she is as a person. If reason prevails on sensibility in a person, you don't see how it reallly feels on the surface. She's putting everything inside of her and not deal with it. "Practical girl" is the best way to describe her.
