Summary
[COMPLETE]
A retelling.
“How … likely is it we can chalk this up to a naughty dream?”
Dropping her hands to her lap, she squints at him. “Well, now that you’ve said it—not very likely.”
He’s still half on her bedroll where’s she’d left him, propped up on one arm, other hand massaging at his throat. It takes her a while to process the wariness in his eyes—a length of time where her silent observation of him only seems to heighten his unease.
Just to be thorough, she briefly touches her fingers to either side of her throat. When she feels only smooth skin, she sighs again, shaking her head.
“… What are you going to do?” Astarion asks in a low and quiet voice, evidently having followed her—soundlessly in the way she knows he can be when he wants to. “What are you … What are you going to tell them?”

Summary
“Hypocrisy doth not suit thee, my golden brother,” he leans towards him, looking him straight in the eyes and he, the perfect son of the Goddess, feels pierced, like a butterfly – no one has ever looked at him so, with hatred, with disgust. “Nay, in truth...” he corrects himself, and smiles a broad smile, his teeth white and his gums dark, almost purple, “it doth suit thee perfectly.”
Godwyn is the perfect golden child, until he is not.

In A Powder of Yarrow: Guy of Gisborne was master at arms at Nottingham when he encountered the Lady Alix, Countess of Vézelay and beloved niece of Eleanor of Aquitaine. He had just returned from his fateful second journey to the Holy Land; she was bound for the royal abbey of Fontevrault in Anjou, where she would spend what little time was left to her.
Against all odds, a strange kind of bond formed between them - with unforeseen consequences for Gisborne. Somehow he survived Vaisey and Isabella’s savage attack in the castle cellars and the destruction of the keep. He woke up far from England’s shores, to find himself in possession of an unexpected legacy.
This is the story of what happened next…
