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.

There and back again - The end of the Journey by Glynis779
30 parts Complete
Just a few words to introduce this, the last of the "There and Back Again" trilogy. Firstly, if you have read the other two parts, I am honoured and thankful. Secondly if you intend to read this, the third, I hope you will love reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. At the very beginning there is almost a tragedy, prevented only by the skilled midwifery of Aunt Gwyneth. There is famine in the land, but help comes from an unexpected source and then through treachery, the Artefact and it's precious contents are stolen from the Lady of the Lake and it falls into the hands of a malicious person of Magic, seeking to use it for her own vile purposes. Because of this Guy and his twins are at risk of abduction, but the family find they have many willing to stand in their defence. Guy's courage never fails him and he is, as always, willing to give his life for those he loves. Then, on his birthday, events occur that finally convince him of how very much Auriel loves him. Expect love in abundance in this tale, both of the soul and of the body. (Well, I couldn't leave that out could I? It's always such a pleasure to describe Guy's 'Special gifts'.) Sadly, for a short while, his lust overcomes his morality, during a prolonged separation from his beautiful wife. There is also kidnap, poisoning, imprisonment, comedy and a terrible event that marks the Gisborne family forever. I write solely in honour of Richard Armitage, such a fine actor, who brought the Character of Sir Guy to life for me. There could be no finer inspiration. All others are a pale imitation.
