Oh yay! I have been missing Marian sorely, and was so glad to see more of this story : ) I'm really interested to see where you're going with this: She was not the wife of Robin Hood and the Countess of Huntingdon. . . She was Marian - and that was who she intended to stay. For better or worse.

I think that after another near-death experience, Marian would certainly re-evaluate her life and choices, which will have an impact later on...

Thanks for the comment!

Awesome chapter, can't wait for more! :)

So glad you have updated. I've been hoping you would continue and am so glad you are.I'm torn about S3 too-so your story is a happy alternative. Looking forward to more!

[lotusflower85]

Thank you!

Many thanks!

Only took your comment in my journal to realise you had another chapter of this up, lol.

I so adore au's where Marian is alive and yet not everything is perfect.

[lotusflower85]

Thank you :) I'm trying to write it the way I think things would go had she survived - it's no fun when things are perfect!

Just stumbled on this through robinhoodbbc, and wondering if you're going to continue. (I'm particularly curious since I'm currently co-writing a S3 AU "Marian returns" fic myself, though my co-author and I don't plan to post it until it's fully done.) I'm really liking this so far, despite the fact that I'm a total Guy/Marian girl and I'm guessing that I probably won't like the way this is going to end pairing-wise. ;-) But still, I'm really, really liking the way you write Guy (I have a very soft spot for Guy/Robin bonding, and really enjoyed that scene). And I'm really liking your Marian, too.

So, just putting in a plea to not abandon this!

[lotusflower85]

Thank you very much :) I do plan to continue this, hopefully in the near future, if I can find the time!

I do have a soft spot for Guy and Guy-Robin interaction. Glad you like it!

[ladykate63]

Wow, this is some interesting timing! I was just thinking about your story a couple of nights ago and assumed that since you never replied to me, you must have given it up. Glad to hear that isn't the case!

[lotusflower85]

Yeah, I've been very busy and so haven't had much time to check LJ - I am hoping to get some more done soon though!

[nancin]

May I add my hope that you continue this story too? I remember reading it months ago and came across it again today. I like your characterization and am curious to see where you take Marian!

[lotusflower85]

Many thanks! I will continue this, hopefully in the near future.
