thanks to havocthecat for brainstorming, and to Ayiana2, Rache, and LadyChi for beta-reading
Summary: Over a year after "The Greatest Enemy," Marion is back in Sherwood, but everything is different. The weight of grief and depression, the question of why she is there, why any of them are there, still press down

"In spring, they didn't go hungry"

Thank you for sharing this. I'm afraid that I'm barely acquainted with the fandom -- a few episodes seen on PBS long ago -- but I'm fairly familiar with the underlying legends, and I found the story easy and satisfying to follow. I have a particular fondness for bereavement stories -- that is, life-after-a-death stories -- and this particular meditation-around-action appeals to that. I hope that Lesbiassparrow liked it very much.

Thank you. I really struggled with this one and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[lesbiassparrow]

Oh thank you so much! It's quite wonderful. Quite, quite wonderufl.

Hurrah!

I hope it was worth it and worth the wait and rings of Marion to you.
