Summary
The distinction between a misbehaving student dying as she's dragged away by the root of her hair and a misbehaving student who is taken elsewhere to be killed is not a distinction worth noting to anyone outside of this school. It is barely notable as is, within these walls, so why would it ever be notable to anyone else?
Or, Mary knows what will happen to Isabella before it even happens.

Louise Hare Does Not Want to Be Found by MortonMurphy
Fandoms: The Spirit Bares Its Teeth - Andrew Joseph White
17 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
When Louise received the letter from Mary, she only took note of it long enough to write an address for the envelope her reply would be sent in, before burning it. She didn’t read the letter, aside from the very bottom, letting her know who it was from.
Louise didn’t want to know the middle part. She didn’t want to know what had happened to Mary after Braxton’s. She didn’t want to know about Silas, about the Luckenbill heir he attached himself to, about any of it.
All Louise Hare wanted was to disappear, to bury herself in the core of the world and hide away in a shelter no one could find. She’d burrow, like a rabbit, finding safe haven from a wolf. It was all she ever wanted, really, to be left alone.
OR, After she escapes Braxton's, when she thinks everything is behind her, Louise gets a letter from Mary. She doesn't take it well.

Meeting the Favorite Godmother by MortonMurphy
Fandoms: The Spirit Bares Its Teeth - Andrew Joseph White
29 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
“Here,” Emily gently pokes at Mary’s ring. At Frances. “ ‘S here. ‘S nice.”
“How can you tell?” Mary asks, though, looking into Emily’s violet eyes, she answers her own question.
Emily is seeing through the veil, though she has never known it. It’s evident when the little girl frowns, and shrugs, almost pouting. “It likes me.”
“She’s not an it,” Mary snaps, feeling her free hand go to her heart, as if in reflex.
To protect Frances from anyone else who sees her as less than a person.
The instinct fades when Mary looks at Emily, whose little face is contrite. She’s a child, making sense of a power that’s been obscured and exploited for years. That power has led her straight to Frances.
Nevermind Isabella or Ellen, the spirits who seem to frequent this place. Emily has seen Frances, and has been trying to talk to her all this time.
Mary isn't the favorite aunt/godmother.
Frances is.
OR, When visiting Silas and Daphne, Mary is the first to discover that their eldest daughter can see beyond the veil. When she senses none other than Frances.

Summary
How many desperate pleas have gone unanswered in this room? How many desperate pleas have gone unnoticed in other rooms like this one? Frances wishes that the men who did this to them knew what it was like to be forced to undo yourself for an ounce of sympathy, giving up the last bits of yourself as a prayer to an undeserving “God.” She wishes they knew what it was like to be denied, and she wishes they knew what it was like to know the denial well, forced to sit with it as the last bits of your breath are exhaled from your broken body.
Please don’t hurt me, Frances herself has said before. Please stop. Please let me go. Please stop touching me. Please don’t do that. Please. Please. Please. Pleas falling onto unhearing ears. The ears are capable of listening, but they never do. Sometimes, it is clear that the owner of the ears revels in the begging. They enjoy draining every last ounce of life from a used body. In the wake of acknowledging the pleading, they become harsher and crueler, refusing to stop even as their victims cry out for a help that will never be granted to them.
