Why This Must Be Read: Right, so a couple years (yeesh) ago, I wound up reading a bunch of Tin Man fic. Love or hate the source, there is some damn find fanfic out there. During one of my many, many, many hours of trolling FF.net, I ran across this story, and it's one that's stuck with me since. Most of the fic for Tin Man focuses on the staying in or redevelopment of The O.Z. This is not the case for this story. In this, DG leaves, and Cain follows. And while that also seems kind of cliche, this story is anything but. Definitely more of a friendship story than a romance, this is a fabulous exploration of two people who are outside of pretty much everything, and their attempts to deal. I also love that the ending, and DG and Cain's relationship in that ending, is ambiguous. Seriously, a really, really good story.

A random search of the Tin Man tag over here on DW led me here, and seeing this rec made my day, after a really bad week. ♥

I really need to get back into the groove of posting to ff.net

Well, yay! I loved the story, and it definitely deserves all the kudos. Many good wishes for a better week next week. :)

Now that I see where the ff.net version ends (at the end of CaliQueen), I am really embarrassed.

There are two more parts to the story that wouldn't end...
