thetestimonials & thefanart;
I was actually in love with Francis and Mary months before seeing Reign for myself. Gifs of their pretty scenes together were always showing up on my Tumblr dashboard and they just looked like the kind of couple I would fall in love with. Since I had a slight interest/fascination with history and royalty, I wanted to see Reign but only if it was going to go on for longer than a season. When season 2 got the greenlight, I spent the latter part of my summer watching season 1 and my shipping instincts pulled me in the right direction yet again as Francis and Mary captured my heart from the very first episode.

What makes them so special isn’t even the fact they have to rule together as king and queen, it’s the fact that they are just a boy and just a girl falling in love for the first time and if that love can withstand all the politics and violence around them. Their love and marriage has faced many tests, the one this season being the biggest one. There were times I began to wonder if it was worth it to believe in their love anymore because it felt like there wouldn’t be a light at the end of the tunnel. However, at season’s end when that light came, I realized once again why I would always believe in their love. Even in their darkest days, this boy and this girl never stopped loving each other. After all Mary and Francis put each other through, their love prevailed. Mary in particular made a lot of hurtful choices but at the end of it all, simply said, “I love you Francis. I always have… always.” No matter what, Mary will always choose Francis and he will always choose her. They will only be truly happy with each other at the end of the day.

How do I know that? Because of Adelaide Kane and Toby Regbo’s abilities to make us see and feel exactly how their characters feel for each other. Their chemistry is what makes me root for Francis and Mary, because it gives their characters a special touch that I can only describe as magical. I’m excited to see what the future holds for this epic and beautiful pairing.

Every once in a while you come across a pairing in a show that is beyond perfect that it's hard to put into words. and that is what those two where for me they might have not have that great of a season this year but they are the first couple to make me wanna vid really for them and having awesome people to talk about them here is what made it even more fun to ship them and here is to hoping for some more greatness to come back in season 3 and even it it ends it was a great ride with all

WE DID IT!!!

TFTNT, ROBIN!!!!! The OP is so so so so BEAUTIFUL! I can't describe how much I love it all. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Especially for all the work you put into honoring the survivors that I brought you. Just wonderful.

Desi and Steph, your artwork is so lovely!!! I can't believe you drew that by hand, Steph! You are both so talented.

Issi, you made the banners, right? They are amazing, as always.

Jess and Issi, thanks for the awesome icons.

Kandace, I can't wait to read your fic and watch your vid. Same for your vids, too, Leah.

I have to say....I'm so freakin' PROUD of all of us Fraries on right now. This year has been so heartbreaking and painful...but we are still here, honoring the beauty and hope of our ship.

and I had post typed and I hit back... I'll say more tomorrow, but I did want to say this...

Every frary past & present (old & new) had part in making this possible even if you didn't contribute art, fanfic, or a video, and even those who are not around here anymore. This is partly because of the honoring the survivors, and partly because we would have never made it to 300 threads if people did not post or care enough about this beautiful ship.
ya'll!

Enjoy the goodies! Cause we have some seriously talented fraries in the mix.

It was completely my pleasure to look through the past threads for survivors. It made me fall in love with this ship and this fandom all over again.

I completely agree, Andrea - We all deserve this celebration.

Heather and Leah, those gifs are great.

Very well said, Robin. Sorry you lost your other post. I hate when that happens. Can't wait to see what you have to say tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I need to sign off for the night. I can't wait to continue the celebration tomorrow. Good night, my beautiful fraries, past and present. I love you, darlings.
