A much more nuanced and heart wrenching look at Robin Hood and Maid Marian. What is the sheriff wasn't simply an evil man, but someone caught between difficult responsibilities. What if Robin Hood was so dedicated to his own wars that he didn't see what he was doing to the people around him? What if Maid Marian was the one who eventually the one who had to choose between her love and her people? In short, this story was beautifully written and a really nice twist on the usual tale.
