"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./

Love is never a simple thing but it only seems to complicate more for those whose choices have the lives of others hanging in the balance. Mary's affluence not only opens doors for her, but closes them as well, and her relationships with Francis and Sebastian are just as sensitive to such turbulence. This story is set in modern times, in the United States.

As she walked with Francis in the corridor, she sighed deeply thinking that keeping Bash at bay would certainly be more difficult than she had thought at first... [Mabastian or Mash's fiction, as you prefer ]

"Now you are free, to choose the man you love." The consequences of choice. Mary's life with Francis, and Mary's life with Bash.

After the death of his mother, Bash's father insists on taking him in. Going from dirt poor to filthy rich overnight (and trading in East Harlem for the Upper East Side) is difficult enough as it is, but throw in a stepmother who hates him, a kind hearted half brother, and a knockout of a girl dating that same brother, and he's well and truly fucked. Modern AU.
