Only one King can bring France out of the ashes of war-Francis, from the all but extinct House of Valois. To unite his country and move forward into a new age, he must honor the decades old betrothal to the young Queen of Scotland, Mary, safely hidden in the mountains. Little did Francis know his choice for her escort to court might set in motion events that could change nations.

"You're a queen, because you make a great leader. Because you were, in no way, made to be ordinary."... In this moment, she loves him. Because he's restless, and honest, and so far from everything she has to be. (Mash one-shots. Rated T for paranoid safety. ch15: 1950s au)

{Nothing will ever overwhelm the sheer amount of everything she feels when she looks at him, his eyes twinkling and shining and true. Everything is in him, and he is in her, and there is a part of her that could never bear to lose him.} Because somehow they always find each other, in a thousand different ways and a thousand different lifetimes. / Mabastian AU one-shots./

As in the show, the wedding is only the start. MASH will have to face much more intrigue, plotting, and scheming and will fight for their future. Other characters appear often too.

Mary realizes how much she needs Bash, and that there may be more than one reason why she can't return to Francis. Mash/Mabastian with mentions of Francis. I don't own any of the characters, I only own the story line.

Bash lost everything at once. Mary came to give him the chances he thought he would never have. Modern AU

He may not have been competing, but there was only one person Mary could think of to give her favour, little did she know the trouble it was going to cause. At least, in her mind, it was worth it.

Written for the mary bash ficathon over at livejournal! After the traumatic events of 1x07 "Left Behind", Mary visits Bash instead of Francis. Maybe she senses Bash will understand how she feels, after taking a life. Maybe she feels guilty about him paying the Blood Debt to save her.

Modern Mash AU: Mary and Bash have been married for 10 years now. With the pressures of each running their own companies, Bash takes their family on a vacation to Aspen. When the kids see the fresh fallen snow, a snowball fight ensues. Little bit of romance, and a hella lot of cute.- Little one-shot given to me as a prompt for a fic contest. Bash x Mary. :)

Mary scolds Bash for tearing yet another one of her dresses that week due to his hasty undressing technique during their rushed moments of intimacy in between political meetings; she teases that she'll soon be spending more time with her sewing and measuring servants than with him and bash accepts the challenge of proving that he's quite capable of doing parts of that job himself.

After No Exit, Mary has time to mull over her choices. Angsty little ficlet.

Hook knows it won't be possible to avoid Emma forever (written after 3.17).

Bash and Mary go riding in secret. Mary makes it into a race— and Bash is never one to refuse a challenge. Set during winter with some snowfall after s1e14 and written before I watched s1e15 so sorry if there are inconsistencies. WARNING: Bash possibly, maybe going down on Mary.

He was not Francis, but he gave her everything that Francis could not. (A collection of Sebastian and Mary drabbles, I am open to prompts as well, just leave them in your review)

Dinner time at court... Mary x Bash

Mary/Bash, takes place after 1x11: Bash was not so easily frightened, but thoughts of his half-brother haunted him day and night, never giving him rest. He did not want to fight over Mary like two dogs over a bone - he wanted her to choose for herself, to have at least this one choice all her own. He was just terrified her choice would not be him.

Mary and Bash find themselves lost within the castle passageways. A little of Greer and Leith as well.

Nostradamus gives Mary a vague prophecy.. (Mabastian)

A little Mabastian fic centered around the Holidays... (requested by a lovely person on tumblr...done on a whim a few hours later...)

One-Shot. She married Francis, but who has true claim on her heart?

This is a missing scene from episode 1x11. Mary and Bash come out from hiding in Agnes' grain closet and Mary takes care of Bash's wound. This is my first fanfic ever. My first time ever writing anything for pleasure. I just couldn't get this scene out of my head. A great big thank you to Bashful Masher for the idea!

"You have to marry Francis." Speculation turned wishful thinking for the events of 1x13.

This is the "rest of the story" of the MASH we see on the show - new scenes that flesh out how Mary comes to care for Bash when Francis fills her heart. Or as one reviewer said "conversations you wish happened on Reign." (thanks Chrisrose!) Will eventually go AU. Told from Bash's POV.

After Francis's latest indiscretion, Mary is upset and frustrated with her plight; she and Bash have a moment, and Mary comes to a jarring realization. Mary/Bash

Mary and Bash were gone for more than a week before Henry's men found them near Calais, and as the show sort of skims over the events that occur during that period of time, even though Mary has a lot to deal with emotionally, I wanted to fill in the gaps with a chapter for every night that they were gone. Mash.

After Catherine tries to poison Mary, Bash decides to take her to Paris to spend the week with his mother to clear her mind. But when Francis returns to court for his mother's death sentence, Mary asks Bash to stay. Francis' return causes unresolved issues between the three to resurface, and with the Queen's death, Francis' hope for a life with Mary grows by the day. [MASH/Frary]

After Mary finally marries Bash, they share a quick moment of happiness before joining everyone else in the ballroom. Set a few months after 1x09, canon divergent.

With the news that Clarissa is Queen Catherine's first born and the one who the prophecy was intended for Francis returns to Mary and their wedding plans are reinstated. But is that really what Mary wants?

Slight AU/Oneshot- Sebastian was named the future heir of France and he is shying away from his duties. On one of his early morning rides he encounters an intriguing woman named Mary, who may change the way he looks at his new title.

He would have died for her the day he met her. Would have killed for her a hundred times over, had actually killed for her and would do it again. But now...Now, he wished he could open up his body to wrap around her, pull her inside his skin to protect her from all harm. Her near-death has made her more precious, more his than ever before. Mash. One-Shot.

Mary "gives thanks to what's most vital" to her, not fully realizing the permanence of her actions. Sebastian makes it his duty to ensure her self-inflicted wound heals with no repercussions. Takes place 2-3 weeks after season 1 episode 10, and written before the release of episode 11.

He wished not for it, the title of King, but it was that which he accepted for his fate with his eyes open. However, he would not rule for Country. He would not rule for power.

M/OS/S.

The ocean's water will never let Mary go, nor will the love of friends and family. [A/N: Kleenex alert]

Lady Mary Stuart of Scotland expected many things when she traveled to France to see her older sister safely wed to the Dauphin. She did not expect to get ambushed by bandits before ever arriving at the castle. She did not expect to get saved by a pagan prince. And she certainly did not expect to find herself falling in love with that pagan prince. Reign AU

Mary has to rescue Sebastian from the dungeons. A tumblr-prompt inspired fic.

"she looked like a ghostly bride. There was Mary, in a white sleep gown, padding barefoot down the corridor.

She seemed in a daze, her head down, her hair falling to hide her face like a mourning veil, looking at her hands" A late night meeting between Bash and Mary. One-Shot

Aylee and Bash find a few things in common. Aylee/Bash friendship, Mary/Bash. Spoilers for episodes 1x01-1x05. Set soon after 1x05 "A Chill In The Air". AU, written before 1x06 aired. Takes a few liberties imagining character reactions to canon events, which may be contradicted if/when the show explores Aylee's point of view.

Fate cannot be avoided. It is a destiny, a promise written in stone. No matter what forces were to conspire against it, Fate would eventually come to pass. Sebastian knew this. He believed in it. Be it in his life time or another, destiny would conquer over any obstacle. The problem, was knowing what Fate had in store.

They were cursed from the beginning. Mary/Bash (mentions of Francis/Mary and Francis/Olivia.)

Maybe this was destiny? Maybe the universe knew exactly what Mary needed, because no matter how hard she pushed, there was always a stronger pull. One-shot.
