The Alchemy of Love
PROLOGUE by an_lagat_glas
Characters/Pairings: Guy/Marian/Isabella/Robin (Guy/Marian, Marian/Isabella, Isabella/Robin, Guy/Robin); a teeny bit of Allan/Will/Djaq. A few necessary OCs.
Rating/Warnings: R. There will be violence, mention of domestic violence, and explicit sexual content in later chapters.
Summary: During her last Nightwatchman gig before her marriage, Marian is caught while helping a woman in need through the forest. Grateful for her aid, Isabella convinces her brother to spare Marian and a friendship is born. Though each have their own goals, Guy, Robin, Isabella and Marian are forced to work together to heal old wounds, learn to trust, and ultimately save Nottingham.
Updates: At Archive of Our Own and the author's journal.

CHAPTER 1 by emmithar
Characters/Pairings: Robin/Marian
Rating/Warnings: PG-13; AU.
Summary: Robin suddenly finds himself in a different world, a twist of time, in where he did not travel the Holy Land. While it gives him what he wants the most, a life with Marian, he soon discovers that life in Nottinghamshire is far worse than he had ever imagined. Being used as a pawn by the sheriff, Robin must find a way to right the wrongs, but furthermore try to discover what happened to his previous life, or if this new reality always was the way things were...
