These drabbles were composed for the RH drabblefest on LiveJournal last August. Many thanks to everyone who read and reviewed them on LJ and on the Robin Hood Fan Community on Yuku.

The characters in these stories do not belong to me (I would have given them a happier ending if they did!), but to BBC/Tiger Aspect, and to Robin Hood legend. No copyright infringement is intended and no profit is made; this is written purely for entertainment and to express my love for the show.

THE PROPOSAL

Allan was right; killing the Sheriff was too risky. There had to be another way.

Guy.

He turned at her voice, and she saw the familiar vulnerable look flash across his face.

"Marian?"

"About that trip…" He eyed her warily. "Tell the Sheriff there has been a change of plans."

Guy frowned. "What?"

Marian took a deep breath. "I want us to be married. Now."

His eyes widened, filling with a hope that dared not be.

"You mean it?"

It's for the cause; Robin will understand, she told herself as their lips met in a kiss that was his answer.
