-Mark and Beth that night agreeing on a separation. Neither can even think of actually divorcing. Beth is afraid it’ll push him over the edge and even though they haven’t really been together the last few months she can’t imagine not still being connected like that. even if they have the girls to connect them. Loads of people don’t divorce after all. They’re still each other’s person. They still love each other. They just need space to learn who they are now.
-Mark coming back to town and they decided to go for lunch just the two of them and both realizing how much the other has changed. but in good ways. They somehow start talking about if they would have been together if they met now. they way they are now. and Mark just gets up after a few beats and disappears around the corner. He’s only gone for a few seconds before he comes walking back in looking nervous and asking her if his previous seat is taken. and then introducing himself. And it takes her a minute to figure out what he is doing but then playing along.
-Mark staying at the house instead of leaving Broadchurch and Beth hovering over him. Slowly watching him take back a little more control in his life little by little. She kind of babies him but he needs looking after. She takes some time off from the center. (Basically my canon divergent verse of ╳ | Verse: ‘it’s your turn to be selfish Mark’ | (Post Series 3) )
-late night phone conversations when neither can sleep even though they are separated for Canon Series 3
-phone calls on Danny’s anniversary or birthday. Mark calling on Mothering day. Beth calling Mark before the girls get up for Father’s day. Both just checking in on the other on the hard days. Their own anniversary.
-Eventually a few years later they are both in better places. Beth getting pregnant again. It’s a boy.
-Them all deciding to move out of Broadchurch to try and start afresh.
-SO MUCH MORE STUFF THAT WE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON. Most of this I think we’ve already started @latiimer
-Beth sitting down with Hardy during the investigation because she needs someone to tell her the facts. Ellie is great and all, for Mark, but Beth is different. She needs to know things. She’s a lot like him. She probably would have made a decent cop at one point.
-Beth making Hardy join the little Latimer-Miller clan for tea; Daisy is already over there sometimes so really don’t be stupid. Just come over and eat anything. Ellie is always complaining about how little you eat
-From all the stories Ellie tells her getting to know Alec Hardy well. Beth coming up with her own nickname for him and telling him eventually that he has a nickname now so he’ll never be rid of them so he best get used to it.
-SPEAKING OF BETH BEING A COPPER. HOW ABOUT A VERSE FOR IT. Beth being motivated to try and help people that are like her; instead of being a support person in series 3 what if she has started her training and things? IDK. Still thinking.
-confiding in Ellie about Mark leaving
-finally telling Ellie that she was so angry with her because she was so scared that she could have been Ellie. It could have been her in Ellie’s place. Think about it.
-Ellie and Beth moving in together to finish raising the kids or at least spending more time together because they both don’t have anyone else. (Like Mark is still there but he is away. He isn’t in her every day life. but he does still help co-parent)
-In my verse where Beth accidentally kills Joe to protect Danny that night while out on a run:
Beth finally going to talk to Ellie.
-Beth venting to Paul about Mark
-Beth going to Paul after Mark gets home and apologizing because she realizes she was just so angry and she didn’t mean it and she feels like the worst person. telling him she’s just been so angry and so scared and she lashes out and she needs to find a way to not be mad at him anymore
But let’s backtrack shall we?
-Beth finding out that he is an alcoholic
-When pregnant with Lizzie them going out for coffees all the time
-S3 verse I’m plotting with @latiimer where they end up reconciling (after some time apart; after Mark figures out who he is now and they get to know each other again and discover that, yeah, they do kind of still work. that the new ways they’ve changed actually are more compatible; they’ve both done some growing up. Being together for so long since so young didn’t help them grow up. sure they were parents and did that grown up thing but as people they didn’t really grow much until they spent time apart.) : Beth becoming pregnant again. And she just KNOWS it is a boy. She can feel it in her soul. It is a boy. And telling Paul because she does that now. She feels he needs to hear something good. Hear that Mark and Beth are trying. That they haven’t given up.
-off of that: It is a boy. They give him the middle name Paul. Beth telling him this.
-Beth saying goodbye to Paul when he leaves Broadchurch. Telling him he better come visit. To take care of himself. That he knows where to find her for a coffee if he ever needs it.
-Beth and Paul bonding. I feel she might see him as like a younger brother. She never had a brother.
-Mark and Beth reconciling and her asking him if he would be there for the reaffirming of vows. thinking he needs to see it. (For some reason Beth just really has felt he might be starting to have a crisis of faith or something. like he kind of talks about how he’s been praying for them the whole time and that it doesn’t seem to be helping or the right thing for them. and so her just going ‘look. it finally happened. it just took some time. we both know mark will never say it but you know, maybe, maybe the prayers helped? on some level? maybe even just knowing you were rooting for us helped. I know it helped me. because I couldn’t see how we could possibly work it out at some points. but you were always there. cheering us on. hoping.)
-Beth going to service for a few weeks after her mum dies, getting more and more pregnant as the weeks go by. She just wants to figure out why her mum loved church so much. what it was that attracted her too it.
I WANT ALL THE THINGS. I added some to parts of the list. Reblogging because I have wants.
