Reviews:

Mademoiselle Nathalie: omg no, please, tell me when I have errors. It helps me go back over my work and check for others. You didn't offend me I promise :D I'm glad you like Meghan's character, I was worried about readers reaction to her joining the gang but you guys seem to like her (I hope) I haven't been bothered by greenveilbride in a few days now, though I expect as soon as I update she'll be back :/ I'm trying to not let her get to me but it bothers me how much people like her can just get away with reviewing things. I mean we're only a small fandom we should be joined together not trying to force our own opinions down everyone's throats. Thanks so much for the review, sorry for the long update :D

Mister Charlie Chaplin: Sorry for the long update and the review. Rotherham didn't come into it this chapter, but he will be in it soon (at the moment I'm not really sure when I'm going to feature it, whether it's going to be this season or the next but I can't wait to write it because of how protective Elaine will get. She's already lost her sister once, she's not letting her sister get away from her again that easily. That's another thing that's going to come to play, Elaine getting overly protective which is going to drive Meghan over the edge.

Anne: So sorry for the long update and thanks for the review. Rotherham will be back, I'm not sure when yet but he will. I'm still not 100% sure about how I'm going to go about Much's death scene at the end of the season, if I'm going to have Marian wounded or not (I love the idea though because it gives Robin more motivation to get angry and dark) I can't wait to write it.

Juliette: Hi, I know it's bothering me as well about people demanding me to love Gisborne in my story. I agree he's a great character but people shouldn't force opinions on other people like that. Thanks for the review :D

Lady Megan Gisborne: I glad you like Allan/Elaine. I too never liked the ship of Allan and Djaq but I did like them separately as characters, but I understand why some people didn't like them. As you can see in this chapter, Marian did go back to the castle but at the end of season she'll be alive and will go back to the forest with Robin. I know I've been getting quite a lot of people asking me about the relationship between Allan/Guy. I'm not going to lie I never really thought about it until reviewers pointed it out. So I'm going to feature a scene with them in the next episode walkabout. You've got to remember that because this story is set in Elaine's POV she pretty much hates Gisborne and only sees him as a 'villain' so it is intentionally written off that Allan/Guy don't have much of a bromance going on because Elaine doesn't want to believe that Allan has formed such a close bond with – in a matter of speaking – her enemy. This isn't me completely ignoring their relationship, I promise, infact I properly brotp'd them in the show. So I'm sorry if it's coming across this way. Gisborne will be given a redemption arc in season 3 and Meg is in it (I'm planning something with this) but I'm sorry he will be dying at the end and Much will be in season 2. I'm not a great fan of fanfiction where no one dies because it makes it less realistic. Thanks so much for the review.

Nihil or nothing: Thanks so much for the review. Ah! I'm glad you liked her sister, I was worried what people were going to think of her. Rotherham will come and find Meg, the Sheriff has sent word to him that she's there (but of course, not Allan's gone and got her out she won't be :P) which will cause some tension between the black knights and the Sheriff.

Elaine will also kill someone, I'm not going to reveal too much but there's going to be a few times when she becomes revenge driven. I agree with AA as well, as much as I love Much he's the only other character that will make Robin angry. I also think this will benefit me with Elaine/Robin's relationship as Much has always been like a brother to Robin, Robin will begin to see Elaine as the best friend Much always was to him. Gisborne will get a redemption arc but he will also be killed off as well at the end of season 3, I think his character development in the show was done by the end of season 3 and he came to his natural end. Thanks so much for the review again and sorry for taking so long to update.

Christine: Thanks so much for the review, it means so much. I know I've not been writing much of the Allan/Guy relationship, I love it in the show as well and there will be a few scenes in walkabout, the thing is as it's from Elaine's POV she hates Gisborne and only sees him as the bad guy, so I've written it that the relationship between Guy/Allan isn't there as much because Elaine doesn't want to belive that Allan has formed a close bond with her enemy. I hope this makes sense and that I'm not just intentionally ignoring their relationship, I'm sorry if you feel this way about it. I'm glad you like Elaine/Allan's relationship. I too never saw anything between Allan/Djaq (I was a hardcore Will/Djaq shipper and hated the love triangle) ah, I'm so happy that you're seeing Elaine as a strong character (I was really worried she'd come off as a mary-sue) but yes, there's many times where Elaine's conflicted over things but in the long run she knows what she wants though not necessarily how to get it. I haven't been writing many of the scenes Marian 'plays' with Guys feelings. I understand a lot of people hate Marian for that (personally I love Marian but can see why people don't like her for being manipulative) robin and Marian will end up together.

I'm sorry to say but I will still be killing off Guy but him and Meg will still be in there (I have a plan with this, I think you'll like it as well :P) I know people are going to hate me for killing of Guy but I just feel like in the show, he got his redemption and his character couldn't really be developed further and he came to a natural end. Thanks so much for the review, it means so much and also thanks for not forcing your opinions onto mean, I get a lot of reviews demanding me to do things So thanks I appreciate it and love your reviews even more.

Art Counterclockwise: Hey! Thanks for another review your great, please call me Kelsey (I hate my username, I made this account a few years back and I was going through my 13yr old stage, lol) I've shown a bit of conflict between Elaine and Allan in this chapter because she's not sure if she trusts him or not (obviously he saves Meghan and now after this chapter there won't be any point where she doubts him. I just needed to write something in like this where it tested her trust in him) haha, I love Robin too, he's such a great character, him and Allan (which annoys me so much because their my fav two characters and they're the ones that end up dead! Lol)

Notjackinplural: Ah sorry it took me so long to update. Omg I'm so sorry for killing off Much (he's one of my faves too) but I don't want to kill off Marian even more and I don't want to be one of those authors that never kill of anyone, Much was just the best fit that would still make Robin angry in season 3. haha, I don't know if you've seen that powerpoint I made on tumblr for Robin Hood but I said in it how Much was like 'the little brother who is really annoying and you want to protect at all costs' lol

Lady Florance1983: thanks so much for the review and am liking Meghan's backstory. I was planning this for a long time and was really worried about how people were going to react to her, but so far people seem to like her. I've noticed many people haven't killed Much in a fanfic before which is another reason I was so into AA's idea about it.

Dreamer in the shadows: Ah thank you so much for the review. I'm glad your liking Meghan, I was worried about what people would think of her. Originally I was going to have Meghan leave and go off somewhere else because outlaw life wouldn't suit her but in the end I decided to keep her in. haha you've pretty much guessed my plot for Meghan, she is in fact 'Meg' as we see in season 3. But I'm not revealing anything else :P

LadyViolette1: Thanks for the review and for taking so long to update. I'm glad your liking the relationship between Elaine and her sister. Origionally I wasn't planning on having Meghan staying in the gang but I've decided to keep her in to see where her relationship goes with Elaine and I have a few other things planned for her which I think you guys will like in season 3. I hate to say it but I will be killing of Much (sorry) But I think that Much's death will be the only way of keeping Marian alive and fit in with the storyline of having a darker Robin in s3. I love Much too and I know that Robin/Much's friendship is something I'm going to miss and am going to hate myself for killing off. Thanks for the review though and I'm sorry for killing off Much.

Lady Marian of Knighton: Thanks so much for the review and I'm so sorry for taking so long to update. TBH I don't really see this as much of a Robin/Marian story, I'm sticking to what is canon in the actual show so I'm not directly making it about them. It's from Elaine's POV and from that it would be that they're together. But if that's what you think is best I will. I know some people won't read the story if they know it's got Robin/Marian as a couple in it.

Exotic little bird: Hey, thanks so much for the review and I'm glad you liked the backstory with Elaine/Meghan. I was originally planning on having Meghan not join the gang but I chose against it and she will be staying but I have a whole story planned for her (during the season 3 plot) as for the names, I did do my research into the names and know that both Megan and Meghan are irish names (I'm not 100% sure if this is true, I'm getting this from a name-meaning site) I just preferred the version of Meghan, but yes, I know it's not going with what would be realistic in the time period. But thanks for telling me about your concern, I appreciate it.

Guest: I'd never even heard of Ao3 archive until you said about it in your review, I'll think about joining but the last time I tried posting a story from one site to another I ended up just forgetting about it and it never went anywhere. I've read a few fanfiction on that site and from what I can tell it's a really great site! Thanks for the review.

Guest: Thanks for the review and so so so sorry for taking so long to update. Hopefully the next chappy won't take as long to get up.

Amaranthe Athenais: Thanks so so so much for another wonderful review full of advice and help, you're great. The next chapter will be walkabout which I'm so excited to write. It's going to be great in terms of Allan/Elaine's relationship development. I'm so glad you like Meghan, I was really worried about her character and how readers would react to her but so far I've had nothing but good reviews about her (phew) but I love your description of her as being a 'wounded lark that escapes from a golden cage and ends up in the wild green forest gaining her freedom' I was aiming for her to be young and innocent but at the same time broken and damaged and I hope I've achieved that. Meghan's connection with the black knights with being married to one of them will also effect later events as Rotherham ends up breaking up the deal with the Sheriff with the pact due to telling him Meghan was at the castle but letting her escape, leading to why the Sheriff ends up going to the holy land to kill the king directly as he no longer has Rotherham (his main provider of guards and an army) on his side. I appreciate you telling me who your fav characters are and who you do and don't ship together (I'm a firm Robin/Marian shipper - which can probably be seen though my writing – but can totally understand why so many people aren't) I'm really glad I'm killing off Much as well (as evil as that sounds) he's a great character but your right in saying he will come to a natural end, I also find it interesting that there isn't much fanfiction on this site where this situation occurs (where Much dies in place of Marian) you're totally right when you say about how Much would have continued to fight after Robin's death in season 3 and as you said, he would have come to his own ending by continuing to fight without Robin and this in it self is probably even sadder because he would die without his friend by his side, him dying for one of his friends happiness is so much better. I plan on having Robin and Marian living a lot happy life, that's one thing I'm assuring my reviewers. I can't believe a few weeks ago I was sure of that I was killing the two of them off and I'm so glad you reviewers have stopped me because now I realize how predictable and how much I could have changed the story for the better with keeping the two of them alive. With the whole Carter's death I have a few other twists up my sleeve that I won't reveal but yes, in a matter of speaking, Carter will be dying for Elaine in some way (I put some foreshadowing at the end of get Carter for this) because of this, what I had planned was Elaine wasn't going to be around for Marian's "death" or rather, in this fic, Much's death. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on having Gisborne involved in Carter's death. He can't be to blame for everyone's death in the season finale, lol. I think what I'll have to do in order to show Much's death is either change POV (perhaps to Allan's) or I have another idea that I will most probably use. Though I was considering having Elaine in the scene of Much' s death, her watching a close friend die would be tragic and would probably leave her depressed and horrified. As for Marian's involvement in season 3, after reading your PM, I'm leaning more towards the pregnancy storyline, I was already planning a pregnancy in season 3 but I was never sure if I was going to do it with Elaine/Allan or Marian/Robin. Obviously your PM explained to me how this would effect Guy, him thinking Marian is dead would drive him over the edge (much like the show) and discovering she was alive later on would definitely lead him in the right direction for redemption like the show as he would leave the Sheriff. However, I wasn't a great fan of the idea of her getting wounded. Even in the actual show I thought that it was a little repitive, she got stabbed in season 1 and if I have her stabbed in season 2 again and survive again I just feel like I'm repeating the same plot. Whilst I know that Gisborne knowing he hadn't killed Marian won't have the same effect on him as if he did think he had, I'm leaning more for the option of having her telling him she hates him. As throughout the whole of season 1 and 2, Marian always saw a good side to him, seeing him kill a close friend to her in front of her would re-evaluate this and she would no longer see this 'good side'. I belive that her telling him she hates him and that - going with canon consistisy - of her saying she would never marry him and that she loves Robin hood would send him over the edge. I'm not 100% sure of what I'm going to do yet but I'm thinking more this option. In this instant I wouldn't have to have the pregnancy of Marian until about episode 2 or 3 of season 3.

As for Marian and Elaine's friendship, this will be developing. There's going to be a time coming up soon where they grow closer due to certain circumstances and this relationship will probably grow to a more sisterly love. Elaine will definitely alter Marian's character in season 3 as Marian will stop being manipulative and will become a team player as we never really saw that side of Marian during season 2 (except for Lardners ring) I've decided I'm killing off Much and whilst I think that Robin's death would arise many problems in the gang (such as who would take lead) I also feel as if the story wouldn't be as interesting. As much of season 3 in the actual TV show is very much about Robin (i.e. his backstory with Archer which I still plan on putting in – I kind of have a love/hate relationship with this plot twist, because whilst I loved the idea of Robin and Gisborne sharing a brother I feel as if it wasn't well planned in the show because I swear at the beginning of season 1 Robin and Gisborne had never met beofre (or maybe they didn't recognize each other) but yes I agree, that if in the instant robin is killed then Marian would take control over the gang, being Robin's equal in many ways the gang would look to her. She remained strong when she thought Robin had died in the beginning of season 2 in sisterhood (she might have cried but she was willing to carry on) and I think her strength as a character would work as a leader.

I've received many reviews asking about Allan/Guy's relationship. In all honesty I hadn't really thought of it until not but now that I have I think it's right that they're not as close in this because it's from Elaine's POV, as she sees Gisborne as the 'villain' she doesn't see the relationship between Allan/Guy because she doesn't want it to exist. Though I do belive there's been instances – such as when Allan calls Gisborne 'Guy' in front of her as if they were close – that shocks her and she does realize that he must have found some sort of friendship with Guy and she does accept this. This will especially come into play in season 3 when Guy joins the gang and Elaine will have to accept he's changed for the good.

Thank you so much for you help with Isabella. I was thinking that if I was going to go down the route of having Marian pregnant during season 3, she would be away and Isabella may not realize Robin's a married man with a pregnant wife, obviously, Robin would reject her (as you said) as I believe he wouldn't have fallen for Isabella with Marian in the picture.

I agree with so much you've said, so much infact I've nothing to add because you've literally described it perfectly so if there's anything I've not replied to/added it's because I completely agree with you. I just want to thank-you so much for all your reviews. You've been amazing.
