I really love this, and the idea that whichever option Mary chooses, she will always be "a prisoner of a sort," always in some way tied down by the men in her life.
I must confess that writing Sir R has eluded me. I keep meaning to read some fics with him to see how others have interpreted him beyond the mustache twirling villain of the show, but laziness presides.
Glad you liked it! Yes, Mary seemed constantly trapped during S2, either by her love of Matthew or her obligation to Richard.
Tbh it seems like most fic writers have stuck pretty close to the mustache-twirling image of evil, but if you ever want a quick one-shot with a really apt and interesting treatment of Richard's character, I recommend mrstater's The Choices We Make. She has a lot of really good Richard fic, but that one is probably best if you're not hugely into him and are just poking around to see what's out there. :)
