Rating: PG
Characters: Robin, John, Allan, Much
Words: 1,094
Disclaimer: Never mine, I'm just borrowing them for a while.
Summary: Home is a hard place to come back to.

( He follows behind the others, drawing his cloak tight in thin defense to the wind, which rustles through as if a welcome and stern reminder in one. It is familiar ground; if the King were to be transplanted from his desert battlement, Allan thinks, he would not find the war so different here. )

Feeling terribly apathetic and uncreative this week (I don't think I could write ten words together that didn't make me annoyed at my inability to be even slightly original). Anyway, today I ended up with this, which I felt good enough about to share.

Title: Waiting on a Promise
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Characters: Robin/Marian
Words: 667
Disclaimer: This is the musings of a fan who claims no ownership.
Summary: When young men leave for the crusades, they can only look forward. They surrender to it, and it blinds them forever.

( It was said without warning and without apology: when you wake, my love, I'll be gone. )

Summary: Much discovers that being stuck between the feelings of two people isn't fun at all--especially when they play havoc on his own.
Notes: For clanne. Happy Birthday :)

( Marian was seventeen years old. Much might be older by five years, and taller by a good hand-span, but she had long since shot past him in standing. )

Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: G
Characters: Much, Robin
Words: 500
Disclaimer: I own nothing, as ever. But the BBC has my number.
Summary: Robin wants the perfect gift for Marian. Much just wants to go home.

Words: 3,166
Spoilers: For 2x12/13.
Disclaimer: Belonging to the BBC, and not a scrap of it mine.
Summary: There's always somebody waiting for the ones who are gone.
Notes: Written for the rh_ficchallenge for the prompt resolution. And because I don't like to see secondary characters dropped like pebbles. And yes, I'm a sap, and just want a happy ending for everyone.

( She wished they had not spoken of birthdays and feeding the villagers; for what little hope it was worth, she would have held him there in the street, if she'd known he might never come back. )

Words: 997
Disclaimer: The BBC and Tiger Aspect own it all, I'm just borrowing things.
Notes: This is about Much looking back to when Robin announced his engagement. Slightly AU, set at a short point in the future. Originally posted for the treatmuchright ficathon.

( Much knew in his heart that it had all lead to this. )

Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Pairings: Will/Marian, Will/Djaq, Much/Djaq
Words: 2,167
Spoilers: For 2x10 'Walkabout'
Disclaimer: Property of the BBC, and all those who make awesome television out of British legends. And not a scrap of it belongs to me.
Summary: Will Scarlett contemplates the women in his life.
Notes: secretsheriff gift for velvet_midnight. I admit that at first I didn't know how I was going to handle Will's POV, as he's not a character I've ever written before. But I think it all worked itself out in the end. Fingers crossed, anyway. I do hope you like it.

( Had she taken Gisborne's hand and accepted his proposal, Will knows he'd have done nothing to stop her, or cared in the slightest as to what Robin's reaction might have been. )

Title: The Incidental Act
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Characters: Djaq, Much
Words: 1,583
Disclaimer: I am borrowing what isn't mine, which is everything.
Summary: There is something in his expression that stops her from asking more, that makes her wish she had known him before this, before he'd had promises made and then broken.

( In the earliest hours, sounds are carried through the forest like an echo of a drum. )

Rating: PG-13
Characters: Robin/Marian
Words: 1,540
Disclaimer: Not my creations.
Summary: She wonders how real life could equal fairy-tales, for they certainly don't exist today.
Notes: For my dear ninamazing, on her birthday.

( The impressionable girl inside of her still feels admiration, still feels nervous at his amazing self-assurance; but as a woman Marian looks upon this thing they share as a sort of prelude to marriage, kept entirely in secret. )

Title: This Little World

Rating: PG
Characters: Robin/Marian
Words: 2,034
Disclaimer: Not mine, I'm just borrowing them for a while.
Summary: There are some problems in life that can't be mended in a day.
Notes: My first foray with these two characters, so I hope I did them justice.

( She takes in the sight of him, stretched out and moody, indifferent to everything and everyone outside his own private frustrations. He has the look of someone who has missed something of great importance, and wants the world to quietly disappear for a few hours while he sets things right again in his mind. )

Title: Even Grasshoppers Say Sorry
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Characters: Much, Robin, Allan
Words: 2,101
Disclaimer: Not my creations.
Spoilers: For episode 2x01.
Summary: Wherein Much can't sleep, Robin can't communicate, Allan acts as an unsuspecting sounding board, and the pot boils over.
Notes: This turned out a little strangely for me, I think the tone bounces from comedy to sadness a bit too quickly. Oh well, blame insomnia!

( 'I like carrots,' Much said cheerily. 'Carrots don't talk. They don't judge you, or natter away behind your back. They are entirely without opinion or malice. They simply exist...to grow, and be eaten. One of God's most glorious creations.' )

Title: Of Differences and Broken Things

Disclaimer: They don't belong to me, of course.
Summary: In which Much comes to the realisation that hard work and appreciation don't always go hand in hand.
Notes: Written for the rh_ficchallenge: 'Cruel to be Kind'.

( Much supposed that God had his reasons, his own means of distributing life's strange adversities in this way; but he wished, just sometimes, that he might be a little fairer in doing so. )

Title: The Justice of Fools
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Characters/ Pairing: Eve, Much /Eve
Words: 1,482
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Spoilers: For 1.09 'A thing or two about loyalty' and 1.13 'A Clue: No'.
Summary: She watches the King return, but knows it is a lie.
Notes: I was intrigued by the character of Eve, and this is an attempt to try and understand her a little better. This also is my first Robin Hood fic, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

( Maybe she is a fool. But let them proclaim a fool's promise to be lighter than air, as worthless as silver blackened in fire. It doesn't matter. This is a love that will make all things right in the world; it is a love she can believe, because it is far better than a noble King's return. It is truth. )
