ANGST! Yeys!!

Very well written and a great insight into Robin's thoughts while he was in the Holy Land. I love your descriptions of Robin, that you can still see the boy he was, although it is now partially buried by the man ^_^

Well done :D

Thank you! I do love me some angst :D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the bit about the tent - I alwasy saw Robin as trying to learn as much as he could from foreign innovations.

That was wonderful, you got Robin's character spot on. It worked really well, the whole thing. And the angsty!Marian views, oh they make me want to pet Robin's head XD

Thank you for enetering. ^-^

I want to pet Robin, too...wait, that doesn't sound right... :P

Thanks for the comment!

A fascinating take on pre-series Robin. Your description of him was spot on (is this after he was injured, but before he went back?) - and the description of the surroundings and the encounter was so beautifully written.
I also found the prostitute a fascinating character as well - her life in her own right, as well as the way that she interacted with Robin and vice versa.
It's so tinged with angst - and whilst I definitely enjoyed it, now it's making me a little bit worried for Season 3.

Thank you! I think of this as set pre-injury - but it's open to interpretation either way! I think Robin was already severely delusioned by the time the incident happened. I did enjoy writing the prostitute character - keeping her as an outsider looking in but also giving her enough character to be interesting. Glad it worked well!

'She had seen that look before - of a man that had long ceased to hope, but clung to the notion because he did not know what else to do. '
Beautiful line, it brought tears to my eyes.
