Robin Locke

Who: Robin and Marian
Where: Swimming Pool
When: They're no supposed to be there...
What: Robin gets Marian to sneak into the pool with him...

If Robin was lucky, he'd be able to intercept Marian between classes. She always seemed to have more than him. Or maybe she was just more interested in actually doing well in the classes she had. Whatever the case, he was feeling neglected. Not in that oh-I'm-gonna-sit-down-and-cry way. In an I'm-doing-something-about-this way. In spite of the sweet image she put across, he knew she had a wild streak a mile long, one that he was an expert at drawing out of her. He hoped to work that charm once again today.

He waited outside of the classroom, sneering at Mr. Lionheart as he lectured and waiting for the students to be dismissed. As Lionheart went on... and on... and on, Robin made faces through the small window in the door. He didn't catch the teacher's eye, but he was sure to catch someone's.

Who: Robin and Marian
When: The early days of Marian's stay in Sherwood
Where: Sherwood Forest, the Realms
What: Marian and Robin share an interlude during better days

Title: Heartache
Author: Jade Blood
Rating: PG-13 (for violence)
Disclaimer: I write Robin and Tuck. Ghani writes Marian, Much, and Will. John and Tara are mostly Kaz's. No infringement or anything of that nature is intended.
Summary: Marian sees Robin in the one way she'd hoped to forever avoid: at death's door.
Author's Note: Wow, I'm on such a roll with these stories! This one is different, but I just had to go there. No even Robin could go his whole career without a brush with death. I didn't include a consort, but I wouldn't doubt one was hanging around just in case. :p Anywho, enjoy!

( When a fist pounded against the door like the hand of a god, the last person Marian expected to see behind it was Friar Tuck... )

Title: Wanted and Wanting
Author: Jade Blood
Rating: NC-17 (Sexual Content)
Disclaimer: Ghani writes Marian, and I write Robin. The end. :p
Summary: Robin wants Marian to cast her inhibitions aside, but that takes some convincing.
Author's Note: I figure, Marian went through a little bit of a transformation when she first got with Robin in Sherwood. Sexually just as much as anything else. So here's my take on a little of what that was like. ;) I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries, Ghani!

( Marian’s head snapped to the right, her eyes clenched shut, and the back of her hand darted to press against her open mouth as if she were trying desperately to hold something inside that begged for escape.. )

Who: Robin and Lily
When: After school
Where: The library, but will probably migrate elsewhere really quickly…
What: After an argument with Marian, Robin is eager to have a little fun with someone else…

Author: Jade Blood
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: This version of Robin Hood is mine, though I definitely didn't create the legend.
Summary: Tuck delivers a much-needed message to Robin.

( Whenever Tuck said he “wanted a word”, that meant that Robin should hop to and seek a more private atmosphere for the two of them to talk... )

Where: Neverland

Title: Everyday Miracle
Author: Jade Blood
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: This version of Robin is mine, as are Ruth and Kendall. Much is mentioned in passing, and she belongs to Ghani.
Summary: Saving the world one person at a time...

( Most women in Ruth’s position might fear a shadow drawing near the door, but she knew that shape too well by now to find herself quaking... )

I decided that I wanted Robin's storyline to make more sense, and this was the only way to do it: by mapping it out point-for-point. Now I know what there is room for and what his life has been like, for story-writing and plotting purposes. And you know what I have learned? Robin had to grow up fast. He was 16 when he left home, and it's been nothing but pure insanity and fighting since then. Poor baby. Then again, most of the time he wouldn't have it any other way.

The things that have been written in detail are linked to. If you see something that involves you and yours and want to co-write it with me, I am very open to that. (I was intentionally ambiguous about the exact times between meetings of the Merry Men, but I think the order will stick.) Just let me know! Format for this was stolen from Kaz and tweaked a little, by the way.

( This is lengthy... )

Title: Shook the Hand of Time
Author: Jade Blood
Rating: R (Lots of cursing and talk of erections? Heh.)
Disclaimer: I think we've established that the only ownership that applies is to these versions of the characters. So Robin is mine, Peter is Kaz's, Marian is Lisa's, and Will is Ghani's. Phew!
Summary: Robin spends some time alone, which is never good for him.
Author's Note: OMG WTF ROBIN? He is being so thoughtful. He wouldn't be quiet until I wrote this. *luvs on him* Inspired by I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You by Colin Hay.

( Nights like these were bound to come, and yet Robin was never fully prepared for them.... )

Title: Promises Like Sand
Author: Jade Blood
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Everything here belongs to me. Well, Robin is not my creation, but this version of him is mine. So there.
Summary: As a young traveler, Robin is imprisoned for the first time and must rely on a fellow captive to help him survive.
Author's Notes: This thing came to me so randomly, but I couldn't resist the call. Oh, and more plot bunnies want to blossom from this. Can you guess where? I'll let you read the story first. Also, the fox references were so on purpose. Enjoy!

( This land was so unforgiving... )

Title: Half-Truths
Author: Jade Blood
Rating: PG-13 (a lot of naughty language)
Disclaimer: Robin (this version anyway) is mine. Will is Ghani's. The rest are just random people I created for the purpose of this story. The legend is universal, and I don't claim to be its creator.
Summary: Robin is forced to tell his story to his new crew...
Author's Notes: OMG, the plot bunnies for Robin are nibbling relentlessly! Here's the first of a few to come.

( Are you guys gonna stand around and talk all night or what? )

Summary: Robin, Will, and John have one chance to escape the Realms, and it becomes their last stand.

( Dying to live, living to die... )

Title: What You Get

"Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochran

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your head to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
Break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood, and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road, and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look in the eye

There ain't no load that I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
