Sleepy Hollow: Every Ship is Where It Should Be

What? We're not meant to be together? Go figure

                   After Sleepy Hollow's return I see some ships coming in. I'm not one of those fans (although I respect all ships) who really want Abby and Crane together. I know their characters well enough to realize that Ichabod is in love with his wife and that won't change (unless she dies). And then there's Hawley's sudden change in sister when he shows interest in Jenny again where we know he has feelings for Abby. Since Irving has returned, I feel like some ships are about to come in.

Hawley doesn't know what he wants

          Here's why Jenny and Hawley are wrong for each other: They're both too much alike. Both are complete disasters who are impulsive and are especially bad when it comes to trusting others and by extension a healthy relationship. They need anchors which is where Irving and Abby come in for each of these outlaws.

Come on, Hawley don't back down from this challenge

        Hawley & Abby: They are very right for each other. Complete opposites who can balance each other out. They have a shared energy and together that energy can move mountains. Abby needs to loosen up though. She's too much of a soldier and we understand why but given her life is fraught with peril she needs to live a little. Hawley is a man of opportunity who prefers to have an exit strategy if things get too hot but there's a nobility there that we can get behind. He's not heartless. He's come through for our heroes a few times. Abby can show him some responsibility and Hawley can show her some relaxation tips. As Jenny said, when things get real, Hawley runs away or wrecks the relationship and his sudden interest in Jenny is exactly that. Being with Jenny is easy because he doesn't have to try but he has deep feelings for Abby and he's afraid of trying to pursue her. Abby would most likely be the same way. She's focused on her mission but that's to distract her from her feelings that we know she has about Hawley. She's been hurt too many times to trust her heart to a privateer no matter how charming she finds him and I suspect Hawley's faced the same trials.

I feel magic here

        Irving & Jenny: Like Abby and Hawley they are opposites but can balance each other out. Also both have had violent encounters with demons both literally and figuratively. I did say that Jenny needs stability and although Irving is on the run from the law and had his soul taken that doesn't mean he's not stable enough for her. Irving is the anchor Jenny needs; someone of stability and Irving needs someone to lean on when he feels like falling down. They have a defining trait that makes them brave to the point of recklessness when it comes to protecting the ones they love even though they clash with said loved ones. I felt a spark there in season 1. I believe as well as hope that the writers allow them some more time together. If either character decides to pursue this relationship it could open some story lines. I feel Jenny would be up for the challenge.

Quaint if not boring but they belong together

        Ichabod and Katrina Crane: Marriage is hard even on the best day and these two certainly could have divorced at any time but they stay together. Why? For one thing I doubt their upbringing in the 18th century would have allowed them to actually go through with a legal split but also I sense a real true love here. Katrina didn't really like Crane in the beginning but we all know that most epic love stories start out that way. Crane has shown that Katrina's lies were getting exhausting but he has shown a fortitude and desire in wanting to make the relationship work. I feel that it's Katrina's turn to show some effort. She seems to be a very independent woman even back in the 1700s where such a thing was an oddity, and that independence leads her to make decisions for everyone without consulting them allowing her to come off as condescending and arrogant. We need to get more into her back story and see where this pattern of secrecy came from because she has lied a lot about who she is and there will come a point where Crane isn't going to take it any more. I hope at least Abby points this out to Katrina. I can't think of anyone else who would do that for her. I feel that Crane and Katrina are headed for more trials but if they want it bad enough they'll weather the storm. They just need to get to know each other again.

Aww he likes it so he's putting a ring on it

          The zealous angel Orion has shown interest in Abby. More as a fellow soldier but I felt a spark there that could perhaps grow into something more and everyone loves a love triangle. You can view that between Crane, Abby, and Orion or Hawley, Abby, and Orion but either way I feel that we haven't seen the last of Orion. 

Do all angels have cat eyes now?

          All of the ships are coming into place. There is a theory floating around that if Katrina separates Abraham from the Horseman of Death then he'll die because he doesn't have a head. Possible. Either way it'll be one more character gone and so leave an almost even number of couples. I don't see Katrina falling in love with Abraham for real. So I'm sticking to these ships that have real possibility and chances for our characters to grow.

Bitch please, I'm a red headed witch I do what I want
