What would happen if their mate died/was killed:
Not including Ysabeau, Miriam and Fernando as they’ve already lost their mate ❤️ but I’m including ocs for Baldwin, Gallowglass and Hancock 🥰
Tumblr media
Matthew: He would let the world burn to find whoever killed Diana. And he’d make it hurt, getting his revenge. There’s nowhere her killer can hide. Even if the death was accidental. Matthew wouldn’t care, all he’d care about would be to find and end the person, his blood rage taking over his entire mind, fogging any sort of consciousness or better judgement. And at the end he might want to join her.
Diana: If Matthew was killed, you’d better pray you can fight Diana. Seeing what she did to Benjamin, she wouldn’t spare you, whether or not she’ll make it hurt depends though. You might get lucky and she’ll just kill you, like with Benjamin—or she’ll drag it out.
Baldwin: There’s no place on heaven or earth in which you’ll be saved. This man is skilled in killing, and in strategizing said killing. He will kill first and grieve second. 
Nora (oc): If you wonder how Philippe suffered, you should stay away from Baldwin as long as Nora is in his life. Should he die, you’d wish your own end would come swiftly. She will make it hurt, but wouldn’t kill you, just break you, bit by bit, until there’s nothing left.
Delphie (oc): She will call on Zeus, Hades and any God or Goddess who would listen, begging for Baldwin to be returned. When that doesn’t work, she’ll want revenge. And it will be painful for the ones at fault. At the end they would want it to just be over with.
Minerva (oc): She’s lost a husband before. But loosing Baldwin might be what actually kills her. She wouldn’t be able to go through the loss again. Whether it was back in their own time, or during present times, she would follow him into death without a second thought.
Gallowglass: This man might be a big teddy bear, but should you cross him, you’d better be good at hiding. And if you kill his mate — Oh BOI! This man never really gets mad, but he will quickly let his anger take control, and kill you in an instant, no hesitation.
Lyra (Julie’s oc): She wouldn’t be able to process it, the grief hitting her harder than either of her parent’s death (might have to do with her parents death being self-inflicted, even if they were accidental). If Gallowglass gets killed, she would never recover, bringing the grief with her to the grave. No flowers will ever grow again from her magic, depending on her strength, she might even stop practicing magic all together.
Catriona (oc): She would be inconsolable, turning to her dad and Fernando for support and guidance, unsure what to do, wishing she could get him back. She’ll hit the depressed part of grief pretty fast, and has to get help doing the most basic things.
Marcus: Our token healer would switch to a cold blooded killer should his mate get killed. He definitely protects those he loves, to the very end. Don’t cross him. He knows ways to kill and make it look like an accident, a suicide or in some cases, the body will never be found, just a note stating said person had run away to be with someone. 
Phoebe: If it’s human!Phoebe, she’d bargain, trying to sacrifice herself so he could live. If it’s vampire!Phoebe, specifically newly turned Phoebe, you should be careful, she’ll drain you before you can stop to think. 
Hancock: Like Gallowglass, Davy is a gentle giant, but cross him and it would be the last thing you do. If you kill his mate he’ll let you bleed, feeding, stopping, feeding again, to drag it out until you die from blood loss.
Annie (kinda oc): She’ll go through all five stages of grief. Not sure what to do to change the outcome. She wants justice, sure, but doesn’t think it’s right to sink to the killer’s level by killing them. Someone else would probably do the killing in her honor.
Valeria (oc): She’s not nicknamed the Bloody Mary of Barbados for no reason. Wrong her and you’ll be dead within hours, and that’s a promise. You think her maker was bad, Val learnt from the worst, watching the ways Louisa made others suffer. She’ll make it painful, and dragged out.
Patience (kinda oc): Patience definitely does not live up to her name. If you cross her she will not be patience with you. She’ll have your head and/or blood before you have a second to think. She might not have blood rage, but she does have some underlying anger issues that would have come both from her father’s years of abuse while they was human, and from watching her family suffer after Matthew and Juliette killed most of her nieces and nephews. Kill her mate, and you’ll be 6ft below in no time.
Ransome: This man might look calm, and scarily so. He’s already lost so much from his grandfather and Juliette paying New Orleans a visit. So should you take out his mate/life partner, you better write your will and get your affairs in order, because judgement day is close.
Jaqueline (kinda oc): She’s a kind, soft spirit. That being said, she’s got a unique gift only a limited amount of vampires have, that and a very close friendship to some of the strongest witches and vampires in New Orleans. Jackie might not be the one to kill the ones who killed her mate, but if you cross her, you’d wish she was the one delivering the blow.
Benoit (Julie’s oc): Ben is very much his father’s son. Born, raised and reborn a soldier, he’s a skilled fighter and killer. Should you have the misfortune of killing his mate, you might find yourself in an old, abandoned castle real fast, with some medieval torture methods waiting for you. Like Baldwin, Benoit will kill you first and then grieve second, heck, even join her in death if he can.
Amelia (Julie’s oc): Amelia has a heart of gold, she would never hurt anyone. She’d go through the five stages of grief, but instead of acceptance, she’d join her mate in the afterlife, knowing without him there’s no sense in going on with life. He’s her whole world, and as she can’t avenge his death, she’ll join him instead. That being said though, if she looses her mate you better run—Miyako is not as forgiving as her sister-in-law.
Verin: It’s inevitable that he will die. Ernst isn’t exactly getting younger. But should his death be unexpected, or rushed…if Ernst is robbed of his end, Verin will tear the person who did it into pieces. 
Ernst: He thinks the world of his never aging wife. Should she meet the end, especially in his old age, he wouldn’t be far behind in joining her. The grief would be too hard on his heart, after all he’s loved her for years. 
Pierre: His heart would simply break, shattering into a milion pieces. In simple terms, his life would be over, he’d leave Sept Tours, and the de Clermont family, unsure of what to do with himself. Pierre loves with his entire being. He thinks the world of his mate, and without her, to him life has no more meaning. He wouldn’t get revenge though, that would be all Gallowglass and Jack’s doing. His «sons» would do it for him knowing he wouldn’t hurt anyone (unless for feeding) because it’s not what his wife would’ve wanted.
Hyacinth: Being a somewhat «public» figure, Hyacinth know’s she can’t kill his killer, not that she would’ve know how to. She would lock herself away, grieving until she had no more tears to spill, and then she would just lay there, wasting away until she can be with her love again. Like with Pierre, someone else would get revenge for her, but would make sure it wouldn’t come back to hurt her or her family’s reputation. It would either be Jack and Gallowglass or Matthew, heck even Francoise, the older woman adores Hyacinth.

The scene with Ransome in the show is so much better than in the book. In the show Matthew comes after Marcus has been trying, Marcus tells him what Ransome wants - an apology and explanation -, Ransome calls him out on his hypocrisy and lack of remorse, and Matthew actually shows remorse. And he doesn't just list the names of the people he killed, he remembers how he did it, and neither Ransome or the others need a ledger to remember the names, because they remember them too. You feel the weight of all of this history and blood spilled. You KNOW it's important for Matthew to name them all. And it matters when it's done.
In the book, Matthew shows up with a sense of entitlement that is fucking staggering to read (I wanted to slap him), insults Ransome while trying to talk to him, only remembers names AND tells Ransome to keep the deaths in chronological order (shut the fuck up!), and leaves as soon as it's done and he has Ransome on his side. No sense of real apology. No real weight to the scene. It just happens and then it's done. You don't get the sense of how important this was to either Matthew or Ransome and his family. It just happens.

Hey queen did you ever write anything about Phoebe meeting Marcus’s kids? I love the idea of them just unironically adoring her. Which of them relentlessly calls her ‘mom’ to annoy Marcus? When they’re pissed at Marcus I imagine they refer to him as ‘my stepmothers husband’.
I have! Here! But now I have to write one where she is called mum by his kids!
Tumblr media
"Hey, mom!"
Ransome happily greeted Phoebe, purposefully kissing her on the cheek in greeting.
Their engagement party in Paris brought out the children of New Orleans who, whilst disliking their larger de Clermont family, were very impressed by Phoebe.
"Red suits you, mama," Ransome winked, and Marcus rolled his eyes, "What? I was told to be kind."
"To Matthew and Baldwin." Marcus reminded him.
Geraldine was with her sister Celine, holding engagement gifts. Baptiste, the youngest of the bunch, grinned.
"Thank you, so much!" Phoebe gushed, "Truly, you didn't need to bring all of this." She was so touched at how welcoming they were.
"Just bringing you a taste of home, mama. We have to have the wedding in New Orleans." Geraldine said.
"Oh, definitely," Marcus agreed. New Orleans was the best place for a wedding.
"Oh, look, it's our stepmother's husband," Baptiste grinned, kissing Phoebe and handing Marcus the bottle of whiskey, "How are you?"
"I'm-" Marcus began.
"Hush, we are speaking to our mother, father!" Celine admonished, "How rude. Mamon, I'm so sorry. Our father has always had such awful manners."
"She wouldn't be your mother if she was not marrying me!" Marcus pointed out, shaking his head in disbelief.

Tangled Knots
With this story, I reached a milestone in my series based on the All Souls Trilogy. In Deborah Harkness's second novel, Jack Blackfriars is an eight-year-old child in Elizabethan England. He reappears in the third novel as a young adult who's been a vampire for over 400 years. The author sketched in a few details of his life, but left most of it a mystery for us to speculate about. And that's what I've been doing for the past 18 stories. It's now time to merge the timelines!
Tumblr media
In Tangled Knots, I cover Jack's reunion with Diana and Matthew as well as the events leading up to it and what happens afterward. As with Jack's early history, much of what I describe is fresh territory. The novels are written from Diana's perspective. When she returns with Matthew to the present, she first becomes aware of Jack when he shows up in New Haven. But the years before New Haven were the most difficult in Jack's life. I felt they needed to be included despite the painfulness of the topic. Much more enjoyable was spending time with Jack, Marcus, and Matthew in New Orleans. I also get to feature Gallowglass and Ransome Fayrweather, Marcus's oldest son.
Throughout the series, I've made it a personal challenge to remain true to canon while also allowing Jack to experience love. Weaving his relationship with Leonard into canon events in The Book of Life was particularly thorny. Diana mentions Leonard briefly. Could I fit the canon treatment into my AU? I gave it my best shot and I hope it makes sense for those of you who have read the novels.

Name: Valeria Bailey (born as Margaret)
Nickname: Val, Peggy, the Bloody Mary of Barbados.
Age: 19, almost 20 when turned. Turned in 1807.
Born: St. Louis, Barbados
Living: New Orleans, USA
Species: Vampire
Occupation: enslaved woman (previously), bartender.
Family: John (father, deceased)
Sally (mother, deceased)
Louisa de Clermont (maker)
Patience MacNeil
Ransome Fayrweather
Geraldine
Loyalty: Patience MacNeil, Ransome Fayrweather, Geraldine and their following.
One fact: Ransome calls her Margaret to make her listen, and she hates that.
History: Valeria Bailey was born into slavery in Barbados, named only Margaret by the plantation owner, Louisa de Clermont. Aged only 13, she was brought into the main house. She was soon after assaulted the first time by another plantation owner who was visiting. The assaults went on regularly, with the men paying Louisa for time with the young girl. Though it’s unsure if she had any living children from these assaults, she did suffer some miscarriages, brought on by herself and other women on the plantation to save the poor children from captivity, and the mother from an early death.
At almost 20, Valeria was turned into a vampire against her will after almost dying from an infection. It wasn’t that Louisa cared for the girl, but she got more money from keeping her alive and healthy, so she turned her. Valeria resented her for it, and vowed she would get back at the older vampire for it. After being turned, Val hunted down her abusers, the ones alive, and killed them slowly, one by one, but making sure the message was given to the other men, that their time was up. She did get her revenge on Louisa though, using her own good looks and charms to turn the other plantation owners against her maker. Once the killing was done, she went on, killing everyone who’d wronged her. Valeria spent a few years in Barbados after being turned, striking fear in the people there, being nicknamed «The Bloody Mary of Barbados».
After she was satisfied she travelled over to New Orleans to start a new chapter of her life. In New Orleans she meets Geraldine, a fellow vampire, and the two become fast friends, Geraldine bringing the newcomer to her brother and aunt in hopes of adding another member to the shrunken family. Her past isn’t immediately laid out there, but as she learns to trust the others she shows them the news paper clippings telling the tale of a mysterious female killer wreaking havoc on Barbados. They’re quite impressed and, and slightly worried.
She’s unsure, like Patience of believing Matthew when he comes knocking, but after some convincing she’s on board too, if only to get rid of Benjamin, who she’s had the misfortune of meeting in the past. She grows close to Ysabeau though, and decides to keep in touch after the fighting is over, when she goes back to New Orleans with her family.

It's her face I see the most. But they all come back to me. I see what I did and I can't change it. And I am truly sorry about that. I am sorry for what I did.

ADOW Episode 303: Matthew Apologizes to Ransome and a Scion is Created
It was very difficult to hear Matthew recite the names and stories of Marcus’s offspring that he had killed in New Orleans two centuries ago. But clearly, rarely a day goes by when Matthew doesn’t see their faces. 
An added dimension in the show that wasn’t in the books is that two hundred years ago most of the vampires in Marcus’s family appear to have been Black or mixed race (based on the survivors seen in the show).
Complicating the picture further is the fact that Marcus apparently started his family before the Civil War, when Louisiana was a slave state. 
In the books, Ransome is a gambler but his backstory would have been very different if he had been a slave. Perhaps he was a freed slave or had never been a slave but even so, his life would have been hard being a free Black man living in a slave state.
Furthermore, Marcus’s offspring didn’t know back then that Philippe had ordered Matthew to kill them because of the blood rage. Consequently, it might have seemed to them at the time that the very white, very French Matthew de Clarmont had attempted to murder many of them for racial reasons.*
No wonder Ransome was so angry (besides the fact that he lost so many in his family including his mate and great love Jacqueline Lascelle).
Anyway, this change from the books to the show raises many questions. 
___________
*However, at least one of the vampires that Matthew killed (Suzette Boudrot, who had “beautiful blonde hair”) may have been white. Most likely this would have raised questions for the survivors about how much racism contributed to the murders.
Thanks to Forever Dreaming for transcripts of episode 303.

“A Discovery of Witches”- Episode 303. How to sell Cardiff for New Orleans? 1. An amazing (but logistically not-so-straight forward) practical location 2. Some clever and collaborative production design by @/arwelwjones and team and 3. Colored lights! The Welsh lighting team was making fun of me for the red, white (Oklahoma Yellow actually!) and blue theme- but hey… it says Nola jazz bar, no? 🇺🇸💙❤️💛 #adiscoveryofwitches #adiscoveryofwitchess3

So I binged the last season of A Discovery of Witches the last two nights and y’all...the actor who plays Ransome is gorgeous. Like, proportions are beautiful, his face is a masterpiece...just gorgeous.  I would love to just stand next to him or watch him talk about his favorite subject for 15 minutes.

First time Diana met Ransome he called her Grandmother.
She responded by licking her thumb and wiping a smudge (only she could see) off his face.

So as mentioned in my previous post about this bingo, my birthday is next month. And for that occasion I wanted to host another bingo!

Can be found in: “unexpected visitor”
Name: Patience Elizabeth Catherine Chauncey MacNeil
Nickname: Beth, Lilibet.
Age: 25
Born: Hadley, Massachusetts
Living: New York City, New York and New Orleans, Louisiana
Species: Vampire (a daemon before she was turned)
Occupation: healer, doctor.
Family: Obadiah MacNeil (father, deceased)
Catherine Chauncey MacNeil (mother, deceased)
Marcus Whitmore (Brother)
Ransome Fayrweather (nephew)
Geraldine (niece)
Philippe de Clermont (v-brother, through the same sire)
Oliver (son, deceased)
Valeria Bailey (adopted sister)
History: Patience is the younger sister of Marcus. She was sired by one of the oldest vampires in the world (possibly Philippe’s sire). Upon being turned her daemon dna triggered blood rage which made her uncontrollable which made her maker cast her aside. She resented anyone connected to her maker after that, which meant she wanted nothing to do with the de Clermont family.
Patience stayed clear of her brother when she found out he was a vampire too, through informants she had gained. But she couldn’t help but follow his moves, make sure they were never in the same place at the same time, that he wouldn’t know of her existence.
After Matthew and Juliette killed nearly all of Marcus’ children, save from Geraldine and Ransome, Patience approached her niece and nephew, caring for them, not that they wanted it at first, what they wanted was revenge. But she stayed with them, helping them build their lives (and following) in New Orleans.
She goes to great lengths to protect her family, going as far as to threaten anyone who will pose a threat to them, this includes having Dominico in a headlock and about to rip his head right off.
