THIS FANDOM MAKES ME WANT TO FIX MY ARMOR AND FIGHT FOR SOMEONE'S HONOR.

Ahem.
This is great. Looove getting more Meg, and Allan. Winchester, you nasty bastard. Hiss! Boo! Would that Marian could just skewer him and be done with it.

[lillianschild]

Oh, yes, Winchester is a slimy and disgusting bastard! It'd be nice to have Marian skewer him and be done with it, but where would the fun be? LOL

Thanks for your reading and reviewing. *wink*

Great chapter! Glad to see some of the old characters come back in this story. Loved to read how Marian is so preoccupied thinking of Guy. Can not wait to read more. :)

[lillianschild]

Some of the supporting and familiar characters had to appear not to make things 100% AU.

And Guy will definitely keep Marian's thoughts busy. :D

Stay tuned!

You'll find out who wins at the tournament in the next instalment, so stay tuned!

I love how besotted but determined to do her duty Marian is. Very realistic. She's really torn and besotted here. But then it looks like Winchester is equally determined to have her. I hope Guy is watching his back. I'm looking forward to more!

[lillianschild]

Yes, Guy will have to watch his back now that Winchester considers him a threat...

Glad you're still hooked.

Oh am loving this so much! I really like how you keep things moving at a steady but not too fast pace so you really get a feel of this relationship developing between the two of them. Have to ask is Meg the one from S3? Or is she an OC? (Am curious b/c I ship canon!Meg/Allan so hard).

I really love how you show Marian's conflict here and her determination to follow through on her sacrifice in order to ensure her family's security. I admit i'm really enjoying this mature version of Marian who is able to stand back and see the big picture even if she's chomping at the bit. Am equally pleased to see how their relationship is progressing no manipulations, no games, nothing like that just budding friendship and something so much more! Can't wait for the updates!!=D

Thanks for your lovely feedback.

Yes, Meg is Series 3's Meg; I have a particular fondness for her character and wished they hadn't killed her so soon, though I understand the dramatc purpose of that decision.

It was high time Marian opened her eyes and actually saw what she had in front of her eyes, wasn't it? I wanted her to "see" Guy in this fic and to provide him with the chance to make different and better choices without ridding him of his baggage and tortured nature.

More to come as soon as I'm done with Chapter 9 of my Lucas fic "A Voice in the Dark". ;)

[kylathelurker]

Oh yes!!! I was really hoping I was right because despite her brief appearance she just screams potential to me and honestly I think she'd be perfect for Allan *blushes*

And I really love how Marian is seeing Guy for who he is not what he becomes under VIsay's er...tutelage...I cannot wait to see where this is all headed! *waits eagerly for more* =D
