Cindy & Mary

Cindy & Mary is the friendship between Cindy Berman and Mary Lane from the Fear Street fandom.

Canon
Nurse Mary Lane and Ziggy Berman were both residents of Shadyside, where in every few years, a seemingly normal citizen would suddenly "snap" and become a murderer. Mary believed that Shadysiders were cursed, and that the massacres were a result of the curse. However, as she grew up, Cindy chose not to believe in the curse. Mary's daughter Ruby was among those who had "snapped" and murdered several people. In the summer of 1978, Cindy served as a camp counsellor at Camp Nightwing. By then, Mary had become the camp's nurse. They presumably had little to no interaction prior to the events of the second film. Cindy was aware of Ruby.

Cindy and her boyfriend and fellow counsellor Tommy Slater were cleaning up the mess hall. However, Mary soon walked in with a knife. She then told Tommy that she had seen his name on a wall, and that one way or another, he would be dying that night. Cindy then watched on, horrified, as Mary lunged at Tommy with the knife. However, Tommy quickly gained the upper hand and knocked Mary out. Cindy and Tommy then called for an ambulance. After the ambulance arrived, Mary was taken away on a stretcher as they were interviewed by the police on the incident.

After Cindy was let go, she began questioning her sister, Ziggy, on how Mary had been acting that day, as the latter had been the last to see her. However, she quickly brushed her off. Cindy, determined to find out why Mary had been acting the way she was, went to the nurse's cabin with Tommy later that evening. She then looked around and found fellow counsellors Alice and Arnie, as well as a book on witchcraft. They then followed the map in the book and found the wall Mary had referred to earlier, just as Tommy became fully possessed.

This ship is not very popular. This is largely due to the lack of interaction between the two characters. The two characters only ever interact in one scene. Works that feature the two characters may choose to do so in an AU where Cindy lives. The friendship currently has 1 written work on AO3.
