I love the BBCs versions of Robin Hood and Merlin, and always thought that a crossover fic would be fantastic, so here is my first sorry attempt at one! The Merlin characters are ones from series three, whilst the Robin Hood ones are from series two, where Guy was still bad and Marion, Will and Alan are still around! Hope it's okay!

Arthur and his allies retreated into the forest. They were going to need to find a hiding place quickly to re group and form a plan to take back Camelot from Morgana and Morgause.

Arthur took the lead in front of his friends when suddenly he was hoisted up in a net.

"Sire!" Leon lunged forward trying to stop the net before it went to high, but it was no use.

Merlin looked on, unable to use his magic with everyone around.

Up on the verge a man emerged.

"What business have you in the forest? Why has Gisborne sent you?" the man shouted.

Merlin watched as Arthur tried to get to his feet, losing his footing in the net. Under any other circumstances he would have found this highly amusing.

"Who are you?" Arthur asked as dignified as he could, ignoring the mans own questions.

"My name is Robin of Locksley, you may know me as Robin Hood"

"I've never heard of you, and I demand you let me down this instance," Arthur scoffed

"Or?"

"Or my men will tear you to pieces."

Arthurs Knights began advancing on Robin when suddenly a flurry of arrows scattered the nearby trees, barely missing the Knights and stopping them in their tracks.

Suddenly a group of, what to Arthur looked liked petty outlaws, descended out from behind the trees to stand alongside Robin, aiming their arrows at the Knights. Merlin looked around but couldn't find anything he could do with his magic without being caught.

"Let me introduce to you my Merry Men" Robin smirked "Now I shall ask again. Who are you and why has Gisborne sent you?"

Arthur looked defiantly down at Robin and his men, then back at his Knights, silently cursing them for being so useless. At least Lancelot had the sense to protect Gwen, although he didn't need to stand that close to her, he noted.

"I am Prince Arthur of Camelot and I have no idea who you are talking about! Now let me down!" he replied as authoritively as he could turning his attention back to Robin.

"Prince Arthur of Camelot?" Robin pondered before lining up his arrow and firing.

The Knights were in a state of panic, fearing that Robin's arrow was meant to kill Arthur, but before any of them could react the arrow had sliced through the rope holding the net up, dumping a disgruntled Arthur to the ground.

Arthur sat up on the ground where he landed, trying to untangle himself from the net, but struggling to do so. Looking up at Merlin, who along with the Knights and Gwen were just staring at him, he said

"Well don't just stand there, help me up!"

Merlin jumped into action pulling Arthur free of the net and helping him to his feet, dusting off the dirt on his clothes, Arthur batted his hands away.

Turning around to his knights "You are the most useless…"

"Forgive me Prince Arthur" Robin approached the group, stopping when Arthur spun around brandishing his sword.

"Whoa…I can assure you it was just a misunderstanding" Robin said backing off.

"A misunderstanding?" Arthur mimicked advancing towards Robin

"You hang me up in a net, and then…then you dump me to the ground, and it's just a misunderstanding? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't strike you down where you stand?"

Robin remained silent.

"because his men still have arrows pointed at us all." Merlin chipped in. Arthur turned to glare at him "Sire." he added quickly.

Lowering his sword, Arthur turned back to Robin "Fine. Explain yourself and then I shall decide what to do with you."

Robin turned to his men and signalled for them to lower their weapons before explaining to Arthur how he and his men were indeed outlaws and had banded together to help those less fortunate, take from the rich to give to the poor etc. He then went on to explain about Guy of Gisborne who had had it in for him since they had both fallen for Marion and she had chosen Robin.

"Now Gisborne has come here to Camelot and has aligned himself with two powerful sorceresses' and plan to take over England. Naturally we've come here to stop them."

"Well, Robin. There is no need because we," Arthur gestured to his Knights, "are going to stop them."

"Well we've come all this way now…" Robin retorted

"Well, you can go all the way back."

"Perhaps we can work together" Merlin flinched away at the glare both Arthur and Robin sent him.

"I was just saying."

I'm not sure whether to continue it or not, i'm not sure if there's a big audience for Robin Hood or not anymore x
