I politely request more Bobby/Joan marriage headcanons from Father Brown please
- Joan frets that Bobby finds her boring, so one night when he and Bunty have plans to go out, she asks if she can tag along. Bobby is concerned at first that a club won’t be her vibe, but Bunty is overjoyed at the prospect of having a female friend to get into trouble with. Though Joan refrains from drinking any alcohol, she loosens up a bit when Bobby teaches her how to play card games. Thanks to her mathematic mind, she’s quite a quick learner, and the other men at the club tease Bobby about where he found himself such a keeper. He just blushes and thanks his lucky stars that she’s a better gambler than he is.
- The guys in town play casual games of football on Saturdays (including Sid, Inspectors Valentine and Sullivan, Goodfellow, and Bunty if she throws enough of a fit about gender equality). Sid invites Bobby to play and Joan brings Arthur to watch. Joan has never found sports to be very interesting, but when it’s Bobby that’s playing…well…
- Several lads from Joan’s classes at the university have been asking her to study/do homework together, and Bobby is worried. Does Joan prefer to spend time with someone who can match her intellect? Being Bobby, he broods + drinks up a storm until the Father suggests he actually TALK to his wife. In turns out Joan doesn’t enjoy spending time with her male classmates because they’re so competitive and often (incorrectly) mansplain the curriculum to her. She also reassures Bobby that their differences in experience & knowledge make their conversations invigorating, and she loves spending time with him.
- Arthur’s birthday is coming up Joan & Bobby have decided to redo the nursery at the main estate into a playroom for him as a surprise. One day, Lady Felicia is paying a visit to Mrs. Malmort and overhears them whispering about it. Of course, she misinterprets their reason for redoing the baby’s room as a pregnancy announcement. Gossip that she is, she lets the news slip to Mrs. M. Small-town chaos ensues.
- Bobby has many talents, one of them being dancing. Joan’s never had the chance to learn herself, so Bobby (literally) takes the lead to show her how…cue lots of eye gazing and romantic tension!!!
