Sometimes we have to look the monster right in the face, show we're not afraid of it anymore.

A new multi chapter fic.

Tristan has left for his army training and things at Skeldale are not as they used to be. The worry and the workload get to Siegfried and it is up to Audrey to get him back to his feet again. / Contains some description of physical violence/abuse.

This has now turned into a collection of drabbles that are somehow connected. Based on prompts or little scenes I had in my head. Enjoy the second part of this.

Because I am still *uck*ng shadow banned by tumblr and cannot join discussions underneath posts (yay. thanks tumblr) but have so many things on my mind, here’s a very long meta about the CS, the things that happened after the kiss and what that did to my fangirl brain.

First of all:

Audrey considers Skeldale and Darrowby her home. Tristan and James are her surrogate sons, she is the only person in this house that can see right through Siegfried and who understands him (and also the only person he confides in, especially in series 3!). So for me there is just NO WAY that she would leave all that behind and go to effing Hull with Gerald.

Gerald is a nice guy, kind, a good listener, he makes her laugh, he is easy to be around, they have things in common, can talk about their experience during the Great War, have an easy excuse to spend time together (walking dogs). He is also a very plain character, not difficult at all. There is simply nothing to worry about. Audrey has had her fair share of being around abusive (husband) and complicated (Siegfried) men. Perhaps that’s why she enjoys Geralds company so much. He is “low maintenance”.

However, we know that for him, Audrey is more than a friend (remember Tristan talking to him and letting him know that Audrey is part of their family and no one is allowed to hurt her and he answers that he means a great deal to him too) to him and that’s why he hopes for more but doesn’t push his luck because that’s not in his character.

So their relationship remains that of two dear friends until that weird moment in the Christmas Special when Gerald mentions he’s moving to Hull. Why have they stopped seeing in each other and not talked about such an important change in their relationship? Cheap plot line that was only used to make Audrey kiss him? Because she cannot bear to lose another person she holds dear (Edward, Tristan)? She is truly shocked by this revelation and comes up with this plan of the Christmas party that doesn’t actually exist so she can invite him without making it look like he’s more to her than a dear friend. (and this makes at least a bit of sense even if it hurts my shipper heart) Still, why hasn’t he let her know about his plans before? They have talked about everything before that moment (about her husband, about Edward!), why not about Hull.

On Christmas Eve, Audrey is as nervous as she was during the 2nd Christmas special (where she made a special effort with her outfit for Gerald, because Diana suggested it). But this time there is more at stake. She wants to say a proper good bye, whatever this may look like. Probably because she hadn’t had the chance to say good bye to Edward the way she wanted to. Maybe she does not want to make that mistake a second time. Even if I still find this a bit too much, I can still get behind that idea and her behaviour.

And then the kiss happens. Not just one kiss, but two. And that’s the moment when this stops making sense to me. She is still wearing her wedding ring, she does not talk badly about her husband, she tries to understand him (she is the patron saint of lost causes after all, not a bad word about anyone), and she is not a person that enters a relationship while still married. Her moral values are too high for that. They could have hugged. She could have told him that she would miss him and their walks and conversations. But no, she kisses him because she thinks he came back for her (at least that’s how I read her reaction when he says that he came back for his coat) and then he kisses her and she leans into that second kiss. And then it’s all over and not mentioned at all the next day. So why have them kiss then?

That’s the one problem I have with that scene.

Second problem: Siegfried is the only person in a house filled with people, who sees them kiss. Twice. And his face says it all. He does not smile (indicating he is happy for her), he does not look away (because he is too shocked?), he stares and to me he looks like he is hurt, surprised and shocked at the same time. Yet, he also does not mention this moment at all the next day. There is not even a tiny moment between him and Audrey that suggests that the kiss has ever happened. And yet, it affected them both A LOT when it happened.

Why let him witness that kiss? Why make her kiss Gerald then? Because it will be part of a storyline in the upcoming series? That is likely to start with an episode set in spring, months after Christmas? If this moment was only meant to show Siegfried that Audrey can have a life outside Skeldale, to make him realise that she might not stay with him forever, then good. Let this be the catalyst for him to tell her that she is not only a housekeeper to him.

As for Audrey, I cannot see her leaving and start a relationship with Gerald: she is still married, she would not leave Siegfried alone while Tristan is gone (Helen and James can never take care of him like she can, I think she’d be too scared that something would happen to Siegfried, should she leave). So what does she think about that kiss? How can she get out of that situation? Tell Gerald “Oh I was just having a kiss under the mistletoe?” Unlikely. She has to talk to him and there has to be some kind of explanation for this. Or it will again feel ooc.

In any case: I do hope that we see the bond between Siegfried and Audrey grow stronger in series 4 because they both have loved ones fighting in the war. And that Gerald becomes a memory, a person that is sometimes mentioned but that’s about it. Please let that kiss only act as a catalyst?
