unsure of how much of a rarepair this is, but since I saw Marlon's thing for the Flower Dance saying how pretty Marnie looked, I canNOT stop thinking about these old people finding love with each other again im so-
Marnie and Marlon are canon in my heart.
Marlon is everything Lewis isn’t. He isn’t a smooth talker, just honest. He isn’t good with kids by his own estimations but kids like him. Jas likes funny eyepatch man a lot more than she likes smelly Lewis.
Maybe he comes to Marnie because Harvey has warned he needs to eat a more balanced diet, and he wants to know how much it would take to raise chickens or maybe buy eggs from her/Shane.
He stays for tea and pie, Marnie joking she probably isn't the best to come to for dieting advice, patting her stomach and laughing.
He catches himself wanting to assure her she's beautiful. He can't stop blushing.
A while later, Jas wants him to come to her birthday picnic. NOT Lewis. She makes this adamantly clear by way of a tantrum. Lewis is going to be weird and hog Marnie's attention and Shane can't say he disagrees, giving Marnie a pointed look about it as he comforts the screaming child.
Backed into a corner she invites him, and he rereads her letter over and over in a giddy sort of disbelief he hasn't felt in a long time. He isn't sure what a girl would like for her birthday so he brings her a pretty rock that sparkles in the sun.
They play cards by the river, until Jas is bored and Marlon teaches her and Vincent to sword-fight with sticks.
Shane gives Marnie that look again, as she watches them play with a fond smile.
"What?" she hisses, blushing.
"You know what," he grumbles, drinking his sparkling water. "Marlon seems nice."
Marnie doesn't answer him. He couldn't possibly be interested in her, no one is. She was lucky enough to find Lewis.
But he feels her watching and turns to smile at her, waving sheepishly... right before Vincent barrels backwards into him, sending them tumbling.
"Oh goodness!" Marnie shoots up and jogs over to help, hefting the man up with an arm strong from farmwork. "Be careful with Mr. Marlon, Vincent!"
Marlon dusts himself off, laughing. His hand tingles where she helped him up. Her hands are thick and calloused and he wants to hold them again. "That's alright, Miss Marnie. I'm not fragile."
She smiles at him as Vincent runs off again. "Please, call me Marnie."
