In this gripping continuation of the series, Aylaina MacLeod-a modern woman thrust from the year 2080 into the harsh realities of the 12th century-has fully cemented her place among Robin Hood's legendary Merry Men. No longer just a visitor in the past, she is now an integral part of their outlaw existence, navigating the perilous balance between historical preservation and personal survival. Aylaina has shed her modern inhibitions, adapting to the brutal, high-stakes life of a fugitive. She is no longer just observing history; she is actively shaping-and being shaped by-it. The adventure breaks free from the confines of Nottingham. Aylaina faces a series of escalating mishaps and misadventures that test her wit and resilience. The scope of her journey widens significantly, culminating in a treacherous sea voyage that forces her to adapt to an entirely new environment far from the familiar safety of the woods.

Hannah is all alone in the world until she gets caught up in something that introduces her to Lucas North, MI5 agent. With her already fragile world turned upside down, she turns to him for support. A [Spooks] fanfic, this takes place some time after series 8 but is essentially AU as it ignores the events of series 9.

​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.
