This is that Guy of Gisborne fic I mentioned. People say a good story needs no excuse, but this isn't a good story so here are a couple of excuses.
The main one is I'm not sure why I wrote this. I think it's something to do with thinking this show and this character is icky, which caused me odd shame in finding RA attractive? But it might also have to do with wanting to experiment with PoV: what happens when you're locked in an icky brain with icky things going on in an icky time period? However, if that were the case, I should've tried harder to write something really good--perhaps something more dense and complex, which asks the reader to contemplate these things more thoroughly--I don't know, something like Lolita, which explores something icky rather effectively, thank you.
But I wasn't thinking when I wrote it. I just wrote it, and it came out like crack. And while I may write porn or any number of enjoyable cracky things in that manner: what follows are not my kinks. Maybe I find it so morbid that it's fascinating?
At any rate, I probably shouldn't post it--for one thing, it's unfinished (though I think it works as a character story), and for another, it's something I dashed off. At 14,000 words, that sounds a little unbelievable, but, er, it's true. But I promised myself I could post something, and I don't have any other posts ready-made to hand--the WIPs all being in various states of disarray--so I shrug. Here it is.
Title: What You Don't Know
Fandom: BBC's Robin Hood
Rating: R/NC-17
Warnings: not super graphic but still violent and icky non-con and sadism, homophobia, misogyny, classism, all kinds of -ism
Length: 14,000
Summary: Takes place directly after S1, does not use S3 canon. Guy of Gisborne lets the Sheriff pick on him. Vaisey knows why. Even Robin knows why. Guy doesn't know why.
