This episode was - and still is - a lot. And I still know the poem he recites to Marion by heart after 25 years.

Robin Hood had another love interest, a shepherdess of some sort. In the ballad “Robin Hood’s Birth, Breeding, Valor and Marriage” in the book “English and Scottish Popular Ballads” written by Francis James Child, this lover is given as Clorinda, Queen of the Shepherds, whom became his wife after he met her in the forest and she impressed him by shooting a deer (she was already hunting it don’t worry). “Clorinda” eventually became an alias for Marian

Marian (or Marion depending on spelling) is interesting because in some stories she’s a norman noblewoman, daughter of Lord Fitzwalter or Sir Richard of the Lee (a knight who was helped by Robin), in others she’s a saxon who has known Robin since childhood, and other times she’s the ward of the Sheriff or Prince John

You would be surprised how outspoken Marian is in some stories, even acting as a spy for Robin while she’s living in Nottingham and in other stories she outright lives as an outlaw with him, being just as skilled as he is with a sword and bow! In those versions of her story, the “Maid” part of her name is dropped and she is known as just “Marian” or “Lady Marian” instead

In the ballads where she’s his childhood sweetheart (which are the ones I grew up on!) Marian disguises herself as a male page and goes to the forest to seek out her outlawed partner. Robin is also disguised and the two initially don’t recognize eachother and end up fighting to a standstill. Robin is the one who calls off the fight, and after they reveal who they are there’s much rejoicing and she joins the band! 

Writers at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century weakned Marian’s fighting skills, having her faint at the sight of blood when fighting Robin or getting easily overpowered, but luckily recent writers have restored her image!

The Jester hits on Marion, Robin proves his point all while unceremoniously playing with his knife. Marion is amused then confused.

This ship lives in my head rent free since and I have no regrets. I just wish we got more seasons. Also, unpopular opinion but I prefer seasons 3 and 4 and the second Robin Hood. Sorry, not sorry.

When innocently sharing a bed becomes a habit. One cold night at the Nottingham inn. One small misunderstanding. Platonic cuddling.

Yet another sharing a bed/one-bed trope because I can’t escape it. It’s an itch that needs to be scratched every now and again (no regrets!) and this flash fiction is just something I wrote as a break from a longer Robin Hood fic I am currently working on.

Lost and Found - Robin Hood Fanfiction

Finding out Robin was dead was a shock. And finding out he was alive in another person’s body was just bizarre... Just a missing scene fic after the episode "Body and Soul" from season 3 because the emotional aftermath of that episode could be a whole episode on its own.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/53665531

Lost and Found

The last few days were a blur. Finding out Robin was dead was a shock. And finding out he was alive in another person’s body was just bizarre. With all that happened, Marion didn’t have time to properly process her emotions. Thrust from despair and guilt to happiness, thrown into a leadership position, preventing people from leaving the camp, trying to keep Robin’s legacy alive… With all of that, she didn’t have time to grieve properly.

Surreal was the word Marion would choose to describe it. Out-of-body experience. Seeing him dead didn’t feel real. Watching his body burn? She didn’t even remember that. Speaking to Robin in Brigg’s body was just absurd, like a weird dream she couldn’t wake up from. She knew it was Robin. But it didn’t feel real… It couldn’t be real until she saw him alive in his own body. Only then could she truly believe it.

And then Robin got his body back. She knew he was alive. She saw his body appear in Olwyn’s cave, she spoke to him and yet, she still couldn’t believe it, too afraid that if she did, she’d wake up and her heart would be broken again.

Standing in that cave surrounded by other people, Marion couldn’t stop looking at Robin, afraid that if she blinked, he would disappear again. And yet, when they were left alone, she couldn’t bear to look at him, unable to hold together any longer. Emotions that she buried deep down now started to surface. Marion’s eyes filled with tears. She choked them back trying to contain her emotions because once she started to cry, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to stop. Trying to hold it together until she was back in her own tent, she avoided looking at him and fixed her eyes on the ground. But Robin knew. He knew her well.

His steps soft on the ground. Three long strides before his boots appeared in her vision. She didn’t dare to look him in the eyes.

“Come here,” he said and opened his arms.

Without a word, Marion collapsed into them, crushing into him as she clutched his shirt like her life depended on it. And she couldn’t hold it together any longer. Her tears spilled; her sobs muffled by his chest as she clung to him crying. He gathered her to him, bringing her closer and just held her.

“I missed you,” she simply said.

The warmth of his body and the beat of his heart calmed her down, reminding her that he was alive and well. That was exactly what she needed. She wiped her eyes trying to compose herself not wanting to burden him as he was the one who died after all. And he died because of her.

She placed her hand on his chest and tried to pull back, but he held her tight as his chin rested on the top of her head. Robin might not remember what had happened, but he saw the pain in Marion’s eyes. If the roles were reveres, his whole world would come crashing down so he could imagine how she felt.

“Not yet,” he whispered in her hair holding her close.

She smiled in his chest through her tears. His shirt was wet, stained with her tears.

“You’re not getting rid of me that easily,” he added.

“I should hope not.” Her body started to relax in his arms.

“Robin, Marion, are you guys coming?” Friar Tuck's voice came from the outside.

The couple laughed and Robin loosened his grip allowing Marion to slip out of his arms which suddenly felt empty and cold without her inside them. She wiped her eyes.

“Let’s go home,” he said in his usual fashion.

Marion nodded, “Let’s go home.”

A wide smile appeared on both of their faces. Marion’s hand flew to the amber heart pendant she now wore, caressing it. It was no longer a painful reminder of what she had lost, now, a reminder of what could be.

The End
