Even when they were young, Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne disliked each other. An old friend that knew them both was often the only thing that kept them from killing each other. At the age of sixteen, their friend was forced to leave their friends behind and go with their father and sibling after the death of their mother. Alex d'Auvergne snuck away to the Crusades to serve first as a healer and then as a warrior before being knighted by Richard the Lionheart. Somehow, Alex escaped death and was followed home to England accompanied by knights that pledged their fealty to the brave Alex. After finding out what has happened to Nottingham in their absence. Appalled at the changes made by the sheriff they sought to find one known as The Man in Black. Alex's honor, integrity, and vow to King Richard makes him stay in Nottingham to right the wrongs that he has already seen. It's only when the secrets are revealed that changes can be made. I have this rated as mature but I would consider it to be more of an R rating.

An alternate imagining of Mrs. Gaskell's story, assuming Margaret had been hurt more seriously on the day of the riot. Intertwines elements of both the book and the BBC series, but focuses less on angst and more on the relationship of John Thornton and Margaret Hale.

He was coming back. It had been more than one hundred years since the holocaust at Erebor, more than one hundred years since she had spoken his name aloud. "Thorin," she whispered to the wind. She looked westward, able to just make out the stark pillar that was the Lonely Mountain. Did he really believe the portends? Could he possibly think he would find the legendary riches of Erebor unprotected? After all these years, would he listen to any warning? Though unsure he would even recall her name, she knew she would find no rest until she, at least, tried to tell him. One last time to the Lonely Mountain, this time not to charm the prince but to try and save a king.

A story for anyone who wanted the lovely John Standring to have a future. I wrote this to lay some ghosts after watching Sparkhouse (more than once!) and feeling like I needed closure on what happens next.
