Derry Girls Headcanon #5: The McCool-Quinns LOVE James and compare every uni and adult life boyfriend of Erin to him (keep in mind that Erin and James began officially dating when they are 25; they had a “thing” in high school but not officially dating).

Mary and Gerry are the nicer ones to Erin’s boyfriends. Gerry tries to be kind and makes conversation but deep down always prefers James—the lads don’t feel his preferences though. Mary tries her best to be nice, but at certain situations she always mentions James and this is when the fellas realize that they’re not necessarily 100% approved.

Aunt Sarah and Joe are the pretty blunt ones. Aunt Sarah being herself, doesn’t know how hurtful she is towards Erin’s boyfriends and is mostly clueless but tries to be nice (the lads are secretly scared of her). Joe on the other hand is just mean and I mean MEAN TO GERRY mean. He grew to like the wee English fella and got used to him even if he did think he was gay at first. Joe won’t ever be nice to James’ face but when Erin brings home a boy he will shit on them and tell his granddaughter to her face that, “Aye, the wee English fella is much, much better.”

Now we need to talk about Orla and Anna. Orla is James’ best friend. No questions there, Orla is hardcore Team James. Anna grew up loving James’ presence especially when the girls would babysit. She’d pull up “tests” for her sister’s boyfriends but at the end of the day she’s also hardcore team James.

Erin won’t admit it to her family, but she agrees. No other fella truly compares to James Maguire.

I feel like once Erin and James get together, Michelle is like. fiercely defensive of their relationship because dammit this is happening welp I need to make sure they don’t break up so I don’t have to take sides but is also simultaneously absolutely disgusted by the idea of them showing each other physical affection beyond holding hands and hugging.

Jerin headcanon

As much as I love the headcanon that James and Erin get together in their 30s, that is just too long to wait for me 😭.

I think that one weekend James comes over to Erin's weekend. A boy has just broken up with her and he's comforting her and this is when she realises that she doesn't want to wait anymore. So she kisses him.

It takes them a while to be 'official' as they're still figuring stuff out. Eventually though, the whole gang is hanging out and Michelle just knows. So Erin and James decide to tell everyone and then they are 'officially girlfriend and boyfriend'.

I'm sorry that this post is a bit rushed, maybe it isn't what would actually happen, maybe it is. Who knows? But this is how I'd want it to go. Man, I just love love.

Derry Girls next episode headcanons:

. After the kiss in Donegal and everything Erin and James are pretty down in the dumps. The school leavers' disco is coming up and Erin doesn't even feel like going.

. The adults have the class of 77' reunion dance on the same night and Mary is shitting herself, she's going to see all the girls from her old class and is worried it'll look like she's done nothing with her life being a 40-something housewife trying to go back to college. Sarah is mainly focused on looking her best in front of her old classmates and drinking enough to get through the night.

. Erin is eventually convinced to go by Michelle who's secretly gotten David Donnelly to take her to the disco. A while ago she'd have been over the moon at this news but to the gang and her family's surprise she's not that bothered. Gerry definitely suspects something is up with his daughter, he's noticed she's been acting differently since Donegal.

. In the flashback scenes to the 1977 leavers' disco we see the old gang - Deirdre Mallon, Sister Michael, Mary and Sarah and Clare's mum. Michelle's mum was exactly like her in her youth, sporting a grungey look, getting into shenanigans and sneaking booze into the dance. Sister Michael as a teen is shockingly optimistic and sweet, and kind of the innocent one of the group.

. Young Mary and Gerry end up having an adorable meet-cute at the dance and it's very similar to James and Erin because parallels

. At the current leavers' disco Erin and James end up going with different dates but my poor babies are miserable.

. The DJ/band plays an absolute 90s bop and a slow song (I'm thinking "Time After Time" or "Africa" by Toto) and the entire slow dance Erin and James are dancing with their dates just wishing it could be the other person.

. Some of the ladies at the 77' reunion are kind of bitchy to Mary and Sarah and poor Mary loses her nerve a bit. Luckily Deirdre Mallon, Sister Michael and the rest of the old gang are there and quickly put the others in their place.

. It ends on a pretty poignant note with a final flashback scene - maybe Mary and Gerry have a kiss or he walks her home or something but then when she gets in on the news there's been a bombing or some other Troubles stuff and we're reminded just how dangerous this shit got in the 70s. As for Erin and James they exchange a few polite words and go their separate ways but there's still so much left unspoken and we get a good dose of teen angst and the episode ends on a properly angsty 90s tune, etc "Like A Friend" by Pulp

Who wants me to shoe horn some David Donnelly into season 3? Nobody

Am I about? Course I fucking am

- David is obviously way above Stars in Their Eyes causes he's a serious musician duh but he's also applied 3 times to appear as Morrissey or Robert Smith or Lou Reed

- Him and James are too scared to go on any rides when they go to Barry's on a date with Orla so they spend most of the time winning her stuffed animals

- David Donnelly certainly does not love spice girls

- He reads tarot cards as a side gig

-Was all over that free make up deal Aunt Sarah was into cause eyeliner

- Took James on a driving lesson one time

Dating James Maguire Headcanons/Drabbles

Masterlist

Request Something!

***

The girls made fun of you when you and James first started dating

It was lighthearted, but there was a hint of truth whenever it came from Michelle

“I dunno what’s worse, you dating an English fella or you dating my cousin.” Michelle groaned as she looked at your and James’ joined hands.

“Shut up, Michelle.” James rolled his eyes, used to the teasing he’d receive from her just for existing.

“They’re a cute pair, Michelle.” Clare defended, looking at the two of you. “If they were complete strangers, I’d be like, ‘aw, look at them, they’re so cute.’”

“They’re not strangers, Clare. It’s incest.”

“Ew! Michelle, we’re not related.” You said in disgust, looking around to make sure no one passing by had heard her. Michelle shrugged.

“Well, it feels like incest, so you might as well break up now.”

Dates to the chippy when Fionnula decided to lift the ban

He doesn’t get anything for himself, but he knows your order by heart and never lets you pay

“Y/n, what’re you doing?” Clare asked as she watched you pull out some money, trying to be discreet about it. You raised a finger to your lips, signaling her to keep quiet as you got up and made your way to James, who was in line for you. You wrapped an arm around him.

“Hi, Darling.” He greeted, putting an arm around your shoulders and kissing the top of your head.

“Hi.” You responded, getting on your toes to kiss his cheek. “So afterward, the girls were thinking of going to Erin’s. What do you think?”

As you talked, you slid the money into his jacket pocket.

“Yeah, that’s fine. Are we staying over or just for the movie?”

“I’m not opposed to staying over. Just depends on how Mary feels about it.” James nodded in understanding. The line moved up a bit, and you took that as your cue to go back to sit with Clare. You kissed James’ cheek again and went to walk away when he pulled you back.

“Take it back.” You looked at him, confused.

“What?” You watched him pull the money out of his pocket, looking at you less than impressed. You sighed, realizing you were caught.

“Take it back, Y/n.” You reluctantly snatched it and put it in your own pocket.

“I just feel bad that you keep paying for me.”

“Well, stop feeling bad because I wanna do it.”

“You’re too good to me.” You said before kissing him, not caring that others were in the shop.

Study dates!!!

He’ll come over to your house because his is too hectic with Michelle

Usually ends with him sleeping over, which neither of you mind

I headcanon that Peter Pettigrew is Irish and grew up Catholic like something abt him gives me such like religious trauma vibes and the fact that he would’ve lived through the Troubles in Ireland like I feel like that would’ve been a huge catalyst for The Betrayal and his separation from the marauders

Also Peter just gives me such Derry Girls vibes like idk but I could see him as the Claire of the marauders

Annie: I hear there's gonna be a ton of good looking bachelors coming to the house. With any luck a few might die and we can get with them. Imagine it; strapping young men just waiting to be taken by us girls!

Mary: Ooh that would be fine.

Kitty: I think I would enjoy that!

Robin: Oh no worry about me.

Annie: Lots of gentlemen today have a fetish for doing it with savages, Robin!

Robin: Really? Okay then!

Annie: We'll get you sorted, don't worry.

Thomas: And what about me? Do you think there might be a chance a beautiful lady will come and then die so I might keep her?

Annie: "Keep her"?! What is wrong with you?!

Robin: Like she object?!

Kitty: That's so disrespectful, Thomas!

Thomas: But...you were all just...!

Mary: Be gone, you wrong'un!

Derry Girls Headcanon #3: The girls see the Spice Girls live for the first time because James gifted them the tickets for Christmas. The reactions of the girls are all different; Erin hugs James and cries into his jacket, Michelle slaps him in excitement but curses in happiness, Clare screams and jumps for joy, and Orla just gives the most Orla reaction by trying to eat a bottle of cooking spice in honor of it all.

Also yes, James goes to the concert with them, they got to have their merch signed, and they pulled up a photo from the talent show in high school to show the Spice Girls.

Headcanon that when Clare marries her future wife, James is the one to walk her down the aisle <3

#she never knows that after the wedding james visits sean's grave and tells him he hopes he did alright #derry girls headcanon #derry girls #clare devlin #james maguire

[derrygirlstrash]

Erin and Orla might’ve both had crushes on James it’s just that Orla never repressed it because they never saw a problem with it and so was able to just let it pass and get over it while Erin repressed it, it blossomed against her will because she kept denying it until it was impossible to any more and well, we know what happened next.

#derry girls #erin quinn #james maguire #orla mccool #james x erin #erin x james #james x orla #orla x james #Jerin #Jorla #listen this isn’t my headcanon because I’m pretty set on ace/aro spectrum Orla and they’re only with someone #in very specific circumstances in my head #but I mean - it’s certainly possible that the only difference between the two cousins #is that Orla isn’t so lost in their own sauce like Erin so they just didn’t bother denying to themselves #kinda fancying the English boy while Erin was like “BACK JAMES THOUGHTS BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME” #and it backfired tremendously #so one day they discover Anna’s puppy love crush on James and Michelle’s like #“wow what is it about your family that you’re all into HIM of all people” #and Erin points out that Orla never liked James #and Orla corrects her like “Yes I did #and Erin is like *squints*

Derry Girls future/family headcanon Part 2😊

. 2:55am - Mary, Gerry, James and Erin arrive at Altnagelvin Hospital. It's started to snow heavily again, so Erin, Mary and James are dropped off near the front and Gerry is instructed to go park the car while they check in. Inside, they're greeted by Deirdre Mallon coming off a night shift. Deirdre is by no means a sentimental or overly emotional woman, but ever since her sister basically abandoned her only child in Derry she and her husband Martin have become parental figures to James. They announced Erin was pregnant by James giving them a card reading, "You're Going To Be Grandparents!" with a tiny sonogram photo from the first scan tucked inside. Deirdre was so astonished she teared up the tiniest bit, but that's a secret she's taking to her grave.

. She does congratulate her nephew and Erin and says she'll visit later when the baby's born, before turning to James and telling him sternly, "Look after her and for God's sake don't bloody faint like Martin did with our Michelle."

. Once Deirdre has headed home they go on to the check-in desk, where after giving their names the nurse informs them once they fill in the paperwork they'll be taken up to a private room. Erin and James are very surprised at this as they didn't ask for one (usually because there's none/very few available) and turn around to see Mary standing behind them looking like the cat who's got the cream. Turns out as soon as she knew Erin was in labour, she rang Janette Joyce, whose husband works at the hospital (and who she's close friends with now) and called in a wee favour😉

. Once they're settled in, a very jolly and plump midwife in her 50's strolls in and introduces herself as Brenda. She examines Erin and to Erin's disappointment, she's only 3cm dilated. She sees Erin's face fall, pats her on the shoulder and assures her they won't send her home, it'll just be a while before things get moving. Mary vouches for this; childbirth is exciting and everything but it's also one of most uncomfortable, inconvenient and boring experiences of her life. Naturally, Erin's not exactly thrilled by her ma's sage advice.

. 3:06am - Gerry arrives, having finally parked the car and trekked inside, dusted liberally in snow. Mary is sat in the chair next to Erin's bed reading a book from home, James is pacing up and down the room constantly asking Erin if she's okay, does she need anything, etc. Gerry immediately notices James is looking very panicky, and decides to do something about it.

Gerry: I'm gonna go and get some teas. James, you want to give me a hand?

James: *Is still pacing, hasn't even heard Gerry*

Mary: *confused* What? I've a flask of tea in me bag.

Gerry: Right. I...I meant coffee, love. Coffee. We could all do with some caffeine.

Mary: You hate coffee, Gerry.

Gerry: *scoffs nervously* No I don't.

Mary: Yes you do, the first time you tried it you gagged and said it tasted like you were drinking petrol.

Erin: Aye, and I can't have that, Daddy. I can't have anything but fecking ice right now.

Gerry: ...Right. *Trying to think of an excuse* Well, even so, you didn't bring cups, did you love? For the tea. No cups, Mary, how could you forget, eh? So we'll just head down to the canteen for some, and James'll help, won't you, son?

Mary: *confused AF* You need help carrying four plastic cups?

Gerry: Yes I do. Getting on in years and all that. Off we go, James!

James: Sorry, what's happening?

Gerry: Be back in a few! *Quickly grabs James by the shoulder and speedwalks them out of the room*

*Erin and Mary exchange bewildered looks*

Mary: What is wrong with him?

*James and Gerry in a lift*

James: *fidgeting nervously* I should probably go back... Erin'll be needing me.

Gerry: Mary's with her, they'll be grand.

James: Yeah, I know, but I should still be in there... to help and stuff.

Gerry: The lift's closed now, might as well head on to the canteen. We'll only be a few minutes.

James: *clearly unsure* I suppose...

*awkward silence*

Gerry: You, uh, feeling alright about all this?

James: Yeah, yeah. Fine. Totally fine.

Gerry: Mhm. Only I couldn't help but notice you were looking a bit... jumpy in there.

James: *starting to look uncomfortable* Jumpy? Me? No, no, I'm fine... All good.

Gerry: James.

James: *sighs* ...We're not really going to get cups, are we?

Gerry: No. I just figured I should get you out of there before you paced a hole in floor, maybe if you wanted to talk...

James: What? Talk about what? *talking faster and is now visibly frustrated and panicking* About how for the past nine months I have been doing all this preparation for being a dad, all the parenting books, all the doctors' appointments and following all the advice? About how despite doing all that I am still absolutely shit scared that none of it's going to matter and I'm going to be just like my own mother, who was such a bad parent that she abandoned me, came back to use me for her fucking sticker company, and then left again?! And now it's all happening, it's actually happening, and soon I'm going to be responsible for a tiny little person that I have to somehow not fuck up and I'm not ready, Gerry! I'm not! *Hyperventilates* I-I can't breathe!

Gerry: Look, son, it's alright, you're just having a panic attack. It's okay. Take a few deep breaths and try to calm down. *Pats James on the shoulder*

James: *Still hyperventilating while leaning against lift wall* I don't think I can!

Gerry: James, these are all totally normal fears - well, apart from the stuff with your mother, I know that's complicated. But every new parent feels like this, I promise.

James: Do they? Do they really?! Just an hour ago, the carseat cut me while I was installing it. *Holds up bandaged finger* It cut me like I owed it money, Gerry. And now all I can think is, that thing can't possibly be safe for a baby but it's too late, the stupid thing's already in there, mocking me, saying, "You bought a death trap for your baby that will slice it to ribbons the second you strap them in, and also you're going to be a terrible father who will fail your child in every possible way!" Oh, and I didn't even think to install the bastard carseat before now, no, I forgot all about it and then had to do it when my wife told me she was in labour in the middle of the night! I can't be the perfect father and husband Erin and the baby need!

Gerry: *scoffs in disbelief* What are you on about? Of course you're not going to be perfect at it!

*James has finally calmed down a little and turns to stare at Gerry*

James: *sarcastically* Jesus Christ! Thanks a lot, that helps!

Gerry: What I mean is, you don't need to be. You're doing something new, and quite frankly, absolutely terrifying. I mean, I've been at this dad thing for 28 years. I've one grown up daughter and the other nearing the teenage years, which, based on her sister's are going to be a barrel of fecking laughs, and I still feel like I've no idea what I'm doing most of the time. But that's okay. You make mistakes, learn from them, and keep on trying. And just pray they don't turn out to be murderers or arseholes.

James: *shakes head* But Erin seems so calm and ready for all this compared to me. I mean, how is she not having an complete and utter breakdown like I am? It's unnatural!

Gerry: Well, I suppose she's just had a lot of time to get used to the idea. Mary was the same, really. Just went with the flow. *sighs heavily* There's old this saying... "Women become mothers when they're pregnant, and men become fathers when their child is born". I didn't really believe it at first, to be honest. Thought it was some old wives tale. I didn't feel scared, just... excited. *pauses for a moment* And then Erin was born. There she was, this tiny wee thing all wrapped up in her blanket and looking up at me with those massive eyes... and it suddenly hit me that I was a da to this little girl. Someone she'd be depending on and looking to for, well, everything, her whole life. Someone to make her feel safe, comfort her when she was sad, teach her right from wrong and give her the right tools to grow up into her own person. *pauses and looks at James* And I had no idea how I was going to do that. It was scariest feeling I'd ever had. When we brought her home that first night, I lay awake for hours, trying to wrap my head around it. Trying to figure out how the hell I was going to be up to the task.

James: ...You really felt that way?

Gerry: Really. And it's okay for you to feel a bit overwhelmed. Just don't forget you can do this. Trust me, you are not your mam. I've known you for a long time now, and I know you're not the type of lad that just gives up on something when it's hard. You're loyal, you're kind and responsible, and you've proved that to me time and time again. You showed up to take Erin to the school dance when that horrible lad stood her up, you got everyone to Donegal and back safely - well, minus what might have been a concussion from being hit by a parked van - you've always stood up for what's right, had your friends' backs... You're one of the good ones, James. You just need to remember it, and tell Erin about all these worries and doubts you're having, for God's sake. No point in bottling it up. *shrugs* And to be honest, she's a smart girl. She's probably already picked up on it herself. Trust me, Erin's not made of steel, even if she acts like it. She's probably nervous and very scared too, she just puts on a brave front because she's stubborn and it's who she is. You'll feel much better if the two of you communicate and work it out together, and just keep trying your best. That strategy turned out alright for Mary and me. *pauses and smiles at James* You and Erin'll be great parents. I know it.

James: *long pause before smiling back and sighing in relief* Thanks, Gerry. I mean it. You know, you're really quite wise.

Gerry: *smirks* Can you put that in writing for Joe?

James: *laughs loudly*

Gerry: Come here. *pulls James into a hug*

*At the same moment the lift doors ding open to reveal a small group of people, who stare in confusion/surprise at the them hugging. James and Gerry soon notice and quickly separate, looking embarrassed.*

Gerry: *awkwardly clears throat* Morning, all.

*The people file into the lift and the doors close*

That's the end of Part 2, everybody! Please comment your feedback😊Hope you enjoyed it, and Part 3 will be up soon:)

A scene from the Derry Girls but with the Marauders...

Remus: Can I ask something?

James: Yeah.

Remus: How much longer are we gonna ignore the elephant in the room?

Sirius: Where?

Remus: it's tomorrow boys. Tomorrow! Merlin, I feel sick.

Peter: Why? You're gonna walk it, Moony.

Remus: I know that! I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about you three. If you fail your OWLs the school won't take you back. I don't wanna have to make new friends from scratch, I'll have enough on my plate with the O-levels! I'm just praying you lot will scrape by!

James: That is very considerate of you, Moony.

Remus: I know.
