Three year olds are not that articulate. I have two of them.

Yaaaaay! I know I demanded angst but I am gleeful over the fact Mary is facing her shit and they might get happy ever after!

Poor Marshall! Although I feel like in a few weeks or months he'll forget everything about this except that Mary realized she loved him because of it.

I love how your Mary goes from protective lioness to cuddly kitten in this chapter.

Eleanor! Love love love that she come swooping in to save the day. I'm still vaguely heartbroken that she left the show. She was such a perfect counterpoint to everyone and she and Stan were adorable. All of which you've captured here. ️

At last!

Mary's self doubt in this chapter is so on the money but also completely tragic. That poor woman has had to deal with more shit than any one person should. I'm so glad she has Marshall to erase some of that pain.

Love the dramatic twist with meddlesome Alison Pierce (she is so deliciously loathsome). She should know better than to mess with our Mann

*happy sigh*

Thank you so much for this lovely story. I'm so sorry I was so caught up in other stuff that it too me so horribly long to review. This was completely delightful from start to finish. I love how you captured Mary's sass but also a softer side and the kids were show stealers throughout.

And a delicious two part bit of fluff to wrap it up! 3

I'm so conflicted in this chapter. I want to putt Abigail and her parents, but... When your daughter poisons her fiancé' dog maybe get her into therapy and on some meds? Poor Marshall :,( I'm delighted that Mary yelled him down from his tower of blame.

So evil. *grins* love the psycho-ex twist. It's so tense even though I know it will end okay.

You're evil. I LOVE it.

Oh Mark, you poor fool.

Another great chapter! Love possessive!Mary.

I adore the way you write Nora. She's such a little cutie and Marshall is so good with her.

Still sobbing in the corner. Move along.
