Title: Hero

Characters: Allan, Tom is mentioned vaugely.
Challenge: 28 C
Rating: PG
Notes: Spoilers for all season 2 episodes, up to 2x08 because someone’s been reading the press releases. *whistles innocently* Plus this plays into an idea I had for the Seven Sins challenge, but it works better here.
My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking,
I want to be like them
Allan hadn’t been raised to be a thief.
His father truly had been a blacksmith, one of the finest in the land, but he seemed to love his craft more than his family. Allan’s mother had died giving birth to Tom, and since that day Allan had to raise them both as best he could. He’d sit, playing with his baby brother, and tell him all the stories he knew of noble men who shone like stars among mere mortals.
And all he could ever think was that he wanted to be like them; he wanted to be a hero.
Title: And That’s All
Author: straitjackit
Characters: Allan; The Outlaws are mentioned.
Challenge: 29 C
Rating: PG
Notes: Spoilers for all eps, up to 2x08 because someone’s been reading the press releases. *whistles innocently* Can’t believe I’m following up a fic for a change…
I would still lay down my life for you
Allan watched himself in the mirror, staring at the handiwork of his new leather jerkin.
All he could think of was capes, old and frayed, rubbing against his face as he ran from guards.
Allan gorged himself on fine food, downed wine from silver goblets.
All he could taste was squirrel stew and berries, freshly plucked by the hand of a lovely Saracen lady.
Allan collapsed on his soft feather bed, sank into elegant silk covers.
All he could think of was the outlaw gang in the woods, and how even now he’d give it all up to save them.
Title: Villains and Velvet Caresses
Author: straitjackit
Characters: Allan/Guy.
Challenge: 30 C
Rating: PG
Notes: Spoilers for all eps, up to 2x08, I'd warn. What can I say? The lyrics challenges are speaking to me tonight. ^_^
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head…
Allan couldn’t help himself; he started crying, and he felt ashamed for doing so. What kind of a man was he? He’d made a decision, but was it the right one? How could he live with himself? His sins had cost precious lives; those closest to him had suffered.
An arm slithered round his waist, a firm chest pushing itself close to his back. Familiar words whispered in his ear; silvery soft, inviting. Allan rolled over and buried his head into black hair, breathing in the scent of his new master.
He fell asleep, dreaming of villains and velvet caresses.
Title: Berries
Author: straitjackit
Characters: Allan, Will, mention of Allan/Guy and Will/Allan.
Challenge: 30 A: Song title - Why Do You Want Him?
Rating: PG
Notes: Seriously. This is running away with me now. >_> SOMEONE STOP ME. Spoilers including and up to 2x08, as with all these other drabbles… Also? I have an obsession with berries, apparently… The Marian thing is a reference to the summary for episode 2x08, for those who don't get it. This one's a bit more pointless, really. I just needed my Will/Allan fix for the night. Inspired by
sparxxa's Alone.
Allan caught him on the third floor, heading towards Marian’s old room. He was trying to fetch something for her, unaware that Allan had already taken care of it all.
He’d slammed Will into the wall, face pinned to the cold hard stone, gripped his arms like a vice. Will struggled, but calmed quickly.
“Why do you want him? Why weren’t we enough?”
His grip loosened; he turned the outlaw round to look him in the eyes.
Allan felt his heart shatter.
“Why wasn’t I enough?”
Allan kissed him, roughly, savouring what he could never have.
Will tasted like berries.
