!!! I am FREAKING OUT with love for this. I so desperately wish that I could manage to be articulate about it, but that seems very, very unlikely. So just know, first and foremost, that OH MY GOD, THIS IS AMAZING AND PERFECT IN ALL WAYS.

Ahem. Coherence. Right. I CAN DO THIS!

I just . . . love the way that you've gotten into Marian's head here, first and foremost. It's so hard to walk that fine line, to figure out what she feels for Guy and make it plausible, and not romanticize it or exaggerate it just because we want her to feel so much for him -- this just NAILED IT, perfectly. I love the observation, too, that Guy knows what it is to feel hopeless and Robin doesn't; I think that's such a big part of Guy/Marian vs. Robin/Marian, that Robin/Marian seems to be holding out for that perfect fairytale ending circumstance, but Guy and Marian connect on the level that no, this world is not perfect, it is not ideal, it will never be as good as Robin's cause strives for it to be, and it's like . . . they are mature enough and jaded enough

I'm so impressed by the way you've captured the characters so beautifully, especially Marian.

Also, you've sustained the mood of the piece so that nothing interrupts the flow of the story; every word is well-chosen and drifts perfectly into place.

Well done!

Very, very beautiful. A little confusing at first, but in the end it did make sense. I really liked it :)

It's almost enough to make me start watching, but then I'd have to put up with Robin ruining the OTP, and I don't think I could deal.
