Heee! Thanks for reading and commenting :D

*squees*

This is fantastic sweetheart; am thrilled you've incorporated my changes and you've done yourself proud.

I love the fire metaphor with Allan, beautifully executed and for me, the scene between him and Marian is sensual, loving and so damn..HOT! :-D LOL!

As I said in my email, I always get a thrill when I see the likes of yourself and multred_a grow more and more confident over the months with your writing. It's always exciting to see what you have planned next!

*HUGS* xx

[multred_a]

Thank you, Rosie. :-) I try. But, this is so good!!!! I just love our little Allen.

[precious_rosie]

No-one is more perfectly suited to Marian than our Allan. :-) I love how he is depicted in this fic. Guy is awkward, always getting it wrong but remains somewhat endearing; Bobbin is just condensing, he doesn't see Marian for the woman she is. Allan sees and accepts Marian for herself, there is no hidden agenda between the two of them. :-)

Wonderful! :-D

[multred_a]

And, what starts a physical relationship grows, unexpectedly for both of them, into so much more. The lady loves the trickster, the one-night-stand man loves the Lady. Ah, what a story.

[multred_a]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggggg! Another person who sees Allan as I do! Oh, you have described him, and Marian, and their relationship perfectly! It is so refreshing to see someone write about the two of them-and connect the problems Marian has with the other two.

Of course she chose Allan! Oh, I love this! (of course I do-I have 19 chapter about the two of them).

Ah, we listen to Rosie-she is the best!

I must re read!!!!!

Thank you!

[punkfunkdisco]

Hee, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D

Rosie definitely is the best!

[multred_a]

Yes, she is!

[feministyogini]

awesome! i don't ship Marian/Allan but you have it make sense that she'd enjoy an uncomplicated relationship.

[punkfunkdisco]

Ooh, thank you for reading! And that's really good that you enjoyed it even though you're not an Allan/Marian shipper :D

[punkfunkdisco]

Aw, thank you! I'm really glad you like it :)

One of my main reasons for shipping Allan/Marian is the way they can be with each other; free and uncomplicated, in feelings if not in situation. So I always try and incorporate that when I write them.

I was quite worried about writing all three relationships believably (is that a word?!) so I'm glad you can see the things I was trying to convey here!

I totally think Robin just blocks out any signs of Marian's feelings for Guy. He refuses to believe they could even exist in his Marian. But seriously, who could resist Guy? He's being played by Richard Armitage! *grin*

[punkfunkdisco]

Yeah, Marian's a free-spirited, modern woman; she can have 3 or 4 blokes on the go at once! *grin*

*squeals* thank you :D

Robin's very controlling, isn't he? Like you say, everything has to be his way. One of my favourite bits is where he does the "My friends think I am vain!" thing :D

Oh no, not mad. I'm not overly taken with him, but I wouldn't say no! He was very lovely in The Vicar of Dibley :D
