~ * ~ * ~ * ~

It is past midnight when Guy of Gisborne returns to Locksley Manor and goes upstairs to his wife’s bedchamber. In the hazy orange-tinted light of a single candle, Marian is bundled under the blanket in the middle of the bed, her face hidden, her hair scattered over the pillows. As he starts to undress, she moves

[ladykate63]

Thank you! :) I am to please. Like Guy. *G*

Thank you for this wonderful story! I love how you stayed true to the characters, everything was believable. You portrayed their emotions so well they felt real. Amazing work :D

[ladykate63]

Thanks! *waves* Maybe it will inspire you to more avatars? ;)

[cila81]

You're very welcome! Hehehe, it might ;) I actually have over 100 Guy/Marian icons I have yet to post, I just have to find the time to do it :)

[ladykate63]

Cool! :) post 'em please!

Oh, and please check out my new Robin Hood board on Yuku!

I found this on FF.net! Left a short review there for you, and figured I'll save my gushing for LJ. *g

Aw, thank you for the wonderful gushing, here and on ff.net! :) Actually, to answer your comment on ff.net, this is not the S3 AU fic that I mentioned; that one is a multichapter affair which pretty much sticks to canon until mid-Season 3 when Marian returns (obviously, having survived her unfortunate encounter with Guy's sword). I'm co-writing it with tangofiction and we're only just getting started, so it will be a while (and we've decided not to post it as a WIP but wait until it's finished). All good things come to those who wait, though! :D

Love your comments about Guy and Marian in this fic; this is exactly how I see them and their relationship. As for RA's idea for a G/M marriage in S3 -- well, I'm sure he didn't envision the whole gang being killed! :D There are actually a couple of excellent but still-unfinished fics dealing with a scenario in which Marian marries Guy "for the cause" in late S2 -- An Exchange of Vows by vividviolet83 and Most Unwanted by hulamoth. I know hulamoth is definitely planning to finish her story, don't know about vividviolet83 -- she hasn't

Brilliant story! Wonderful! I'll admit I wanted to claw on my desk and throw the computer out of the window in frustration for a while - nothing can be better than an engaging story! And it was worth it in the end! :-D *sighs in relief and stops clawing on desk*

[ladykate63]

Thank you for reading. And clawing. :D

[gizxmaz]

Thought I might as well share a comment over here too :)
I really love this story. Everything is so perfectly written. And I have to agree with thymelady... my desk is well scratched now... But it was totally worth it! :)
I hope we get see more wonderful stories from you in the future!

[ladykate63]

Thank you! :) and yes, there will be more stories. :D
