For one who had always had to fight for her place - who knew the ceaseless weariness of justifying her existence - the undemanding love of those around her would only have baffled Marthe. She had been a missile on a course of destruction, driven to deliver her news into the heart of a family that she saw did not want her. There was no sentimentality left in what Marthe had felt about Francis, Philippa, Richard or any of the others. She would not have looked for a kind word in the yard, and yet now she lay, delirious but pliant beneath the many hands that pushed her golden hair back from fever-sticky skin, those that squeezed her knuckles as their owners told her she could come through this, and those that clasped together in prayer over her bedside. Marthe survives the end of the series and has to come to terms with Francis's choice to destroy the document she brought him. Healing at Midculter, she tries to understand her place in the family that bears her less ill-will than she expected. From Lise's prompts: 6. Prompt for an AU: Marthe lives AU! post-series terrible siblings. 7. Prompt for a non-AU: post-series everyone dealing with their trauma.
