Choices - Part VIII

[joyfultiger]

Spoilers: DON'T READ THIS if you have not seen the ending to Season 3.
PG for romantic scenes
Closer to R than PG-13 for the violent scene here, the more I think about it.

Thanks extended at the very bottom, under the cut, in grey font. More thanks given in the same way under the first part of this fanfiction.

I must say this is not what I expected, but I'm not dissappointed at all. It's a very original story and as a G/M shipper, they had wonderful moments together.
Thanks for sharing this lovely story with us, I love the life you dreamed for Guy and Marian and they both lived that life in dreams at least.
I must say you are a terrific writer and it's a good first fanfiction anyway you look at it.

Thanks again!

I'm glad you liked it, and I'm really glad you aren't disappointed. I was worried you might hate the story once you got to this part.

Thank you so much for commenting as you read it, and for letting me know how much you enjoyed it. I'm finding that's what gives me a little rush - knowing someone got some pleasure out of the story.

I'll post the epilogue for you soon.

Hugs,
Joyful Tiger

The epilogue is up for you now, Betty. Again, thank you so much for all your kind and generous comments.

If anyone new reads this, and wants the epilogue, just let me know.

I'm so glad I finally finished this! I'm not particularly a G/M shipper, so I'm glad this ended this way. It makes perfect sense to me this way.

Is this really your first? I am very impressed. Thanks so much for sharing! I would love to see the epilogue, too, if that's all right.

Thank you so much for letting me know you read it, Alesh101 - I do appreciate that.

Yes, this is my first ever attempt to write a complete story of this length, with several characters, etc. The last time I had creative writing, I was in fourth or fifth grade. Maybe it was third? I don't remember.

More in a PM.

I'll make the epilogue visible to you, but warning: It's really corny.

Thanks again,
Joyful Tiger

Browsing through Nottingham archives it was just a few days ago that I discovered your wonderful story. I think it's one of my favourite Marian's survival stories. There are many fanfiction stories in which Marian's survives Season 2 finale, but I really like your storyline, the way you wrote your characters (Guy, Marian, Matilda, Tuck and even Robin:)) and the fact you surprised me with the way you developed your story. I was so angry with your Marian for deciding for Guy to remove his memories of her. It was so high-handed. It was her choice to forget about him, but to do it to him without his consent was so wrong. It was such a beautiful moment when he asked her not to forget him, to remain at least "a memory" if he couldn't be part of her life. You presented a very vivid description in those might-have-been scenes, very moving and touching scenes.

Would you be so kind to send me your epilogue by PM? To raise my spirits after a little bit sad ending?:)

Thank you

Hello, Sameera77.

I understand the anger at Marian. She made me angry a few times during the show!

I added you to my friends list. If that doesn't make the epilogue visible to you, please try friending me back.

Let me warn you - it's completely, and utterly hopeless beyond belief romance.

Cheers,
Joyful Tiger
