***Like how the hell do I get Guy and Marian to stop hating at each other and make out? ***
(cue the music, please) "Love Potion Number Niiiiiine!" How about using just a little bit of herbal magic/lore? time correct but still open enough and wonky enough to play with?
Something like, they were both walking through Nottingham, snarking at each other, when the Herbalist/WiseWoman was shaking her tablecloth out of the window. Residual approdisiastic dust swirled around them. They either start sneezing then snogging right then,--OR-- it has a delayed effect. They both get back to the castle, and while changing their clothes (seperately), i.e. pulling the garmet over their heads, they inhale said substance and are overcome with...well...lust. Guy goes to find Mrian, as alwyas, and as he's the first person Marian sees after...umm ...inhaling, falls into his arms. All on account of a little magic pixie dust (ground mushrooms, perhaps?) What do you think? magical yet practical and of its time? Am *I* high? ::skips away::
Of course the tone may be all wrong for what you're trying to do, but hey, thought I'd give it a whirl to see if it was useful...;-)
