FATHER BROWN HEADCANON
Isobel's husband was the village's doctor; he knew Sullivan because he was often called to informally determine the cause of death of the various victims before they were sent to the patologist out of Kemblefold.

things about Father Brown series 10 that make it good (in my opinion): (contains spoilers)
Brenda. She's great and she's fun, she's a young person learning to navigate the world. Found family trope for days.
Mrs Devine. Adore her. Also fun, and she's bright and intuitive and inquisitive. Drives like a mad lady. Outfits always on point.
Hercules
Chief Inspector Sullivan. He's back, never going to complain. He's softened and we get to see more aspects of his character, like his interests and hobbies outside of work.
Sullivan giving gender envy
Brenda giving gender envy for that matter too
Goodfellow being brilliant as always. He's come so far since we first met him. Him taking his exams and passing is great and I feel personally so proud to have watched him grow.
seeing the Kembleford Players
Sullivan in a dumb Shakespeare costume
Goodfellow in a dumb Shakespeare costume
tbh literally everyone in their dumb Shakespeare costumes
tiny adorable model village, I love model villages and train stations
seeing Mrs McCarthy's and Bunty's little models at the model presbytery
seeing Lady Felicia again
seeing Flambeau again
Mallory canonically moving to Scotland to get away from Father Brown
1954
car chase
just the cool cars, I love them
some more gay people
a rich twat getting murdered
Sullivan getting beaten up after he was an asshole to everyone
and then deciding after all that drama, he's going to stay anyway
Sullivan and Mrs Devine. Controversial opinion, but it's definitely nice seeing another side of Sullivan, and for her still speaking so lovingly of her husband and thinking of him but also letting herself still be happy
the way Sullivan goes completely soft after Isabel and how he won't arrest Brenda because Mrs Devine says no
Brenda's accent
Mrs Devine just adopting Brenda instantly
costume/wardobe is doing great work as always
Lady F just hadncuffing herself to the bar and Sullivan having to snip her free
Sullivan calling a man "his Royal tallness" when according to imdb, Sullivan is an inch taller
seeing another village
Father Brown war flashbacks
canonical Sullivan birthday
cow calender
Sullivan being canonically attracted to chaotic dumbasses who put themselves in danger to help others, likes to meddle, and drive like a lunatic
Brenda launching herself out that train
Goodfellow curtsy
that little black cat finding a home
the way Brenda is always still scared when getting into these scrapes and having her life in danger but she still keeps doing it to help others
singing through a field
that leather jacket
biker gang
Brenda being just a little bit gay with all the girls in the series (imo)
miserable Sullivan drinking
canon Edgar
Father Brown on his bike as always, zooming about
I have no doubt I've forgotten things so please add more in the tags!!

•TV show: "Father Brown".
•Content warnings: Mentions of two men loving their wives more in a close friends-like way and mostly staying married to them for the two women and their children's sake, the two men being bisexual and having an affair their wives know about and accept, but the rest of the world has no idea about, child loss through accidental drowning and stillbirth, parents and an older sibling mourning because of the loss of those two kids and the two couples featured in this One Shot having grown apart through their grief.
•Both Monty and Sullivan are bisexual, not gay here. They genuinely loved their wives for a few years during their marriages, but now they don't anymore.
•William and Evelyn are OCs, obviously. I made them up.
•This is an AU in which Sullivan and Mrs Devine were already married in 1952, they had been married for over 20 years, and the boy who is just her son in the show is his too in this story. I picked his age and made him be named after his father. I know many of you don't like Mrs Devine, but please, try not to say that in the comments.
•I know Sullivan was fairly young to have a 22-year-old son in 1952, but to me, he was already like 40, which would have made him 18 when Eddie was born, which makes it more acceptable if you ask me.
•Tags: @moonextinguisher, @bisidneycarter (one post they made made me get the idea for this fanfiction, so I thank them for that), @greenelectricsky, @cesarescabinet, @sharkmcchef515, @apollosstar8.
Maybe in another life
"Why don't you just leave her?" Inspector Edgar Sullivan couldn't stop himself from asking his lover, Lord Montague, whom like most people, he just called "Monty", in the evening of October 13, 1952, after they had had sex.
They had been having an affair, a secret to the rest of the world, but known by their wives, for almost six months by that time, and they both knew their feelings for each other were starting to become something more than just lust.
They usually they didn't have conversations, or at least not ones like that, when they met to make love, but that day, he just hadn't been able to prevent himself from asking that question.
"What?" Monty asked, visibly confused.
"Your wife" Edgar clarified, turning around to look at his lover "If you are so unhappy with her that you need to have these meetings with me, just divorce her".
"I can't" was all Monty said.
"Why?" the younger man questioned.
He definitely wasn't expecting to receive that kind of response.
"While it's not a romantic thing anymore, I still love Felicia" Monty told him "We have basically been friends our whole lives".
"So what?" Edgar replied, shrugging his shoulders "There are a couple of people I've been friends with my entire life too. That doesn't mean I would want to be married to them. You two would still be as rich as you are now and you don't even have children. What's stopping you from leaving her?".
When Monty heard his lover say that, his facial expression changed from a calm one to a frown and he put his face in his hands, sighing and shaking his head.
"We do. We do have a child" he said a few seconds later, letting out one more sad sigh afterwards.
"This is our son, William" he then told Edgar, taking a small photo out of his pants' right pocket and showing it to the younger man.
It was a picture of a blond little boy around 2 years old, who was smiling as a dark-haired teenage girl pushed him on a swing.
"Why doesn't he live with you?" Edgar asked after looking at the photo for a few seconds "He is still so young".
"That's because he is not alive" Monty explained, tears filling his eyes "He drowned in our garden's pond on November 4, 1945, when he was almost 2".
"Oh, yes!" the younger man suddenly remembered "I think I've heard of him. I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm also amazed. You and Felicia talk about him so freely".
"Of course" Monty responded "Why wouldn't we? He is our son".
To him and Felicia, it was just natural to talk about the little boy they loved so much and had lost, and he couldn't really fathom things being different for other couples in their situation.
"I wish Isabel and I could do the same thing in regards to Evelyn" Edgar sighed sadly "She would have been 18 now. My beautiful little girl".
He hadn't been planning to talk about the only thing that could make him cry, but since that topic had come up, he wasn't going to waste that chance.
Just like he had heard about William, Monty had heard of Evelyn, but just once.
He knew she was Edgar and his wife's second and youngest child, who had died in her mother's womb in 1934, thirty-three weeks into Isabel's until then perfect pregnancy.
Her parents and her older brother Eddie, who was 4 years old when she had passed away, were obviously still mourning her, but unlike him and Felicia, Edgar and Isabel had never really been able to talk to each other about what had happened to their baby girl.
"I know, I wish things were different for the two of you" Monty responded "I think you are the one who should divorce your wife, though, given your situation".
"I can't leave Isabel either" his lover told him, shaking his head "She seems so strong, probably braver than me, but I know she couldn't cope with losing me too. And Eddie couldn't either".
Hearing those last four words, Monty couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.
He knew that his lover's son, 22-year-old Edgar Jr, whom everyone called "Eddie", still lived with his parents and deeply wanted them to stay married, which he could understand, but at the same time, he didn't believe that was the right choice for Isabel and Edgar.
"I know what you think about this, but I can't do this to my family now. Maybe one day" Edgar said, hoping his words were true, but not really believed they were.
"Maybe" Monty repeated, although he wasn't convinced that that was the truth at all.
Yes, maybe.
Maybe in another life, if they had been born at a different time in History, he and his lover would have been able to be together freely, with nothing keeping them from proudly showing their relationship to the world.
In that life, however, they knew they had to think about their families and put them first, so those brief meetings could still be all they had with each other.
It wasn't going to be easy, but it was definitely for the best.

We will always have the fan fiction
I know I'm mostly alone in this... boat, but I will hold out hope until the end that the forced Sullivan/Devine pairing will disappear.
If it persists, I will go down with the boat.
And it will have been a pleasure to share this vessel with you, comrades.

BIG hc that sullivan is actually his first name. he goes by that to dissociate himself from his (family) father's surname, and hides him a little more too. his father less likely to look for him under a forename
