Drabble No. One:

[gnimaerd]

Title: Perchance to Dream
Genre: Drabble
Pairing: Robin/Marian
Word count: 127
Notes: inspiration provided by vhari (who I saw tonight! ^_^)  - theme word was 'dawn'. More to come, promise. Just that I saw the Sex and The City movie today and was too hyped up afterwards to write anything more than this coherantly. XP

She’s been up all night – though she’s used to that. The clawing exhaustion in her veins is an old friend, one that murmurs comfortingly that she has done what is right. It satisfies her.

Just for now, they lay in the grass, and dream a while.
