They Were Absolutely Insane For Not Putting These Two Together. Their Chemistry Is Insane.

Siegfried making Audrey smile / ACGAS S5

thank you to maris, mel, and daphne for collectively putting niles crane through just the most harrowing romantic experiences. never has that man looked finer than when he's absolutely emotionally devastated.

“In a comic book, you know you’d be called? Doctor Mysterio.”

oh to have a silly little house like this...

You would seem so frail In the cold of the night When the armies of emotion Go out to fight But while the earth sinks to its grave You sail to the sky On the crest of a wave

Oh Lord.

Where to start?

Audrey clams up around everyone else, but directs her frustrations at Siegfried because he's the one she's closest to?

Siegfried saves the fox against his better judgement because that's what Audrey needed from him?? (Also continues the excellent theme of Siegfried saying no to her, and then doing it anyway. See James and Dash ...)

Siegfried listened without judgement or assumption when she was ready to open up???

She slept on the sofa while Siegfried looked after the fox her. The blanket tuck? I will never recover.

Extremely emotional Siegfried when they finally hear from Edward? He was living Audrey's turmoil and relief with her.

That awkward distance between them when the others immediately embrace Audrey on the stairs, but he hangs back???

That awkward pat on the arm when she's hugging Helen???? He's unsure of his place.

We may not have got to hear him say Audrey or give her a hug or even a hand hold. But what did get was delicious.

Besides this wasn't their episode. This was all about the remarkable Mrs Hall.
