This is something I wrote for a lovely lady friend of mine. It seemed fitting for Guy to have dreamt this about Marian.

​Aylaina MacLeod is a time traveler whose inaugural journey catapults her not to her intended destination, but deep into the 12th century. Landing squarely in the heart of Sherwood Forest, she finds herself thrust into a version of the Robin Hood legend that defies everything she previously knew. ​As Aylaina is drawn into the fold of the Merry Men, she must navigate the complexities of a past she is attempting to reshape. Her primary objective is clear: to right the wrongs of history by altering the course of events that lead to tragedy. ​I've reimagined the iconic figures from the 2006 BBC Robin Hood series, offering a fresh take on our beloved characters: ​Sir Guy of Gisborne: Moving away from a purely dark, Twilight-esque portrayal, this version of Guy is a deeply tortured and brooding soul. However, upon meeting Aylaina, a softer, hidden side of his personality begins to emerge, I try to stay true to the nuance and depth originally brought to the screen by Richard Armitage. ​The Merry Men: The story captures the authentic voices and dynamics of the series' core cast, immersing the reader in the camaraderie and high-stakes environment of Sherwood Forest. ​Note from the Author (Jeannie): This work serves as an expansion and reimagining, specifically incorporating the narrative arc of the final two episodes of the BBC series, "Something Worth Fighting For." I acknowledges the original creation rights belong to the BBC and Tiger Aspect.
