Broadchurch (2013-17) Episode 2.08
I'm in such a mood to write and there is almost no one left in the RP community for Broadchurch.
Does anyone have any headcanons they are curious about related to Beth? Or any one shots you'd like to see? I think I might try my hand at some shorts for fun but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested.
Send me ideas, please!!!
Alec watched her as she looked down at his ring finger. It was still a sore subject for him. He heard her say something but he couldn't work out what exactly she said. Alec looked at her. "At least if you two actually make a point of talking to each other. Maybe...just maybe you could work things out." He said. "Some of us...." Alec looked away before looking back. "Some of us take the blame for something they done and don't get to see their daughter often...if at all." He said, starting to walk away.
It takes her a minute to decode what he says. It's a lot. What he reveals to her. "So you know what it's like." She then pauses before turning to look at him again, looking annoyed. "You took the blame? For what she did?" She looked away. She wants to call him an idiot. She bites her tongue.
Crossing her arms over her chest she looks down. "We're not good at talking," she finally admits. As he can probably tell. God, he's annoying. Hasn't even been here a month and already knows all about their lives. And here she was admittin things to him.
It wasn't like he was usually someone who got startled. He just hadn't expected to have seen Beth out there. And speak to him as soon as he walked out the door. It didn't help that he had been in his own little world.
Alec knew that she was talking about Mark and that he wasn't exactly someone who would talk. He could see that from when he had interviewed him. "I am not the person to talk to about that." He said.
Hearing her question, he looked at her. There was a look in his eyes. "Yes. I have been married." He told her. "And I would want to know, rather than find out some other way." He added.
He still was trying to get her to talk to Mark. Prick.
Then he admits he has been married before. She glances at his bare finger for a moment before meeting his eyes again. "Little late for that," she bites back in response, mostly under her breath. " I saw them. Mark and Becca," she nearly spits out. "Last night. He stormed out and went straight into her arms." The bastard.
Alec was looking forward to getting home. Or at least to the B&B he was staying that. He pulled his coat around him as he headed towards the door to go outside. What he wasn't expecting as he stepped outside was to be confronted by Beth.
He put a hand to his chest as he jumped at the sound of his voice. "Next time, please don't sneak up on me like that." He told her. Alec heard what she said and wasn't sure what to say to that. If she didn't know and was trying to get it out of him. To blame it on him. "That isn't for me to answer." Alec told her. "You need to talk to your husband about that. My job is to find out who did this."
If the situation had been different she would have found the fact that she'd startled DI Hardy amusing. Didn't really do a lot for him, getting startled like that. How was he a detective if small normal person Beth had managed to sneak up on him. She hadn't exactly been hiding. Well. Post-Ellie exiting she hadn't been at least.
"It's Mark," she said with a scoff as if that explained why she was coming to him. He didn't talk to her. Hadn't in a long time. He always kept things to himself, quietly just being there in the background. It was annoying is what it was. Trying to get him to talk was like pulling teeth, not that she really tried if she was bein honest but that wasn't what was important right now.
" He doesn't really talk," she finally explained after a few moments of silence between them. This didn't seem to be getting her anywhere. She ran a hand through her hair, trying to figure out how to convince him to talk to her. Not just toss her off like a journalist. He was human, wasn't he?
"Have ya ever been married?" she finally asked, licking her dry lip. "If yeh were married, and your partner cheated, wouldn't you want to know?" She tried to appeal to him.
@xchxsingcxrsx | For Alec, have a very angry and hurting Beth confronting him outside the station in series 1
" So that's it then. Mark was with Becca fuckin Fisher. "
Her voice cuts across the silence outside the station.
She'd been waiting for him. Avoided Ellie when she'd come out, knowing the woman was her friend and would try and get her to talk to Mark about it. She was a friend. But DI Hardy wasn't. He was new. From somewhere else. He wouldn't lie to her. But he also might not comment. But she needed to know. Needed it confirmed.
" I saw them. Last night," she adds, as if that will sway his thoughts on what to do in the situation, licking her lips. It's as if trying to get him to confess something that he should probably be keeping a secret. "So don't lie to me. Just tell me. That's where he was, right? What he finally told you after you kept him in all day? Arrested him?"
I miss writing for Beth and Gi. I miss the Broadchurch fandom. Anyone still about?
Broadchurch (2013-17) Episode 2.08
Wishlist:
failedthelastone:
Mark
-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
Alec
-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.
Ellie
-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.
Paul ( @pculcoates !)
-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.
BROADCHURCH RP?
Anyone still around? I'm feeling Beth and my OC Gi a lot again. ( I also have a multi-sideblog. )
“You have two daughters who are still here, we’re still living, and you are wasting what you have and it makes me so angry. “ “I have to make things right. “ “For who? Not for me. And do not say Dan. Because he would not want this.”
OUT OF BROADCHURCH. Hey everyone! I know I haven’t been on here in a good almost handful of years. I’m working on a rewatch so let me know if you want to play with Beth (or her sister Gi (sideblog to Beth)). I miss this world and would love to write in it again.
“I saw him… I saw Danny.”
Georgina “Gi” Roper An Independant Broadchurch OC Written by Miranda Side-blog to Beth Latimer
“You have two daughters who are still here, we’re still living, and you are wasting what you have and it makes me so angry. “ “I have to make things right. “ “For who? Not for me. And do not say Dan. Because he would not want this.”
OOC. Okay but. Anyone else CRY because of Alex Rider when Mark was on and died??? I knew ahead of time from having read the books but man did I wish that Uncle Ian Rider lived longer. May or may not have made an OC with Beth’s FC as a fellow agent and lover of his.
Jodie Whittaker as Beth Latimer in every episode of Broadchurch → S1E5
“I wanted to apologize. Not to her, to you. I can’t believe I did it. I can. I can believe it. God, it felt good. Do you think I’ll have to pay her? I’m not paying her anything- she can whistle for that.” “Beth… Have you thought about maybe seeing a bereavement counselor?” “I don’t want to see a counselor. A counselor will want me to stop being angry. I need my anger. It’s all I’ve got right now.”
All I want in life is for Mark and Beth to heal and get back together once they’ve both grown.
