The Longest Battle 6/8
Pairing: Ambrose/Cain, Queen/Ahamo
Disclaimer: I do not own them at all.
Summary: The Witch won't rest until she has the O.Z. in darkness, no matter how she must do it, no matter how long it takes.
Rating: This part is NC-17.
Notes: This acts as an AU to the entire Tin Man series and hinges on just one question: "What if DG hadn't let go?" Fifteen annuals pass and while some things may remain the same, many is different. EXTREME thanks to [livejournal.com profile] blackletter for being a wonderful & efficient beta.

CHAPTER ONE: In which DG holds on, Zero takes matters into his own hands, Adora Cain is a casualty, Ambrose is given a lifetime of glitches, and Jeb Cain gets into Ambrose's bed before his father does.
CHAPTER TWO: In which the search for the Mystic Man begins, Cain makes failed attempts at bonding, Jeb hides well, and a tentative agreement is made between Ambrose and Cain.
CHAPTER THREE: In which Ambrose reveals why he hates Zero so much, it's Jeb's and then Wyatt's birthday, and Cain finds out that you can never have too much heart.
CHAPTER FOUR: In which Cain and Ambrose are exiled, they meet a Viewer named Raw who can feel the O.Z., Ambrose has to face the facts, and mobats have a nasty bite.
CHAPTER FIVE: In which Cain heals from wounds rendered, Jeb admits he doesn't know Ambrose, Zero makes a house-call, and Ambrose informs Cain that he and Jeb are moving back to the palace.

That was the start of a ritual. )

Some days, he was fine, but predicting those was like predicting a twister. )

It didn’t take a genius of Ambrose’s proportions to get just what the Queen was asking of them. )

This is going to act as a sort of preface, because I don't typically write anything above these fics. This is not a WIP. It is fully complete and I have each part divided as they'll be posted (with a little juggling here and there because some parts are nineteen pages and some are eight). I'll try not to be too mean with cliffhangers, but, I hope it's enjoyed.

This is the longest Tin Man piece of fiction I will ever write and it is both a gen-piece as well as a Glitch/Cain story. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The existence of this piece was heavily influenced by both [livejournal.com profile] luchia13's Fifteen Annuals as well as the Regaining Ground trilogy (by Vera, which can be read here). Without these works, this would not exist.

Disclaimer: I do not own them at all.
Summary: The Witch won't rest until she has the O.Z. in darkness, no matter how she must do it, no matter how long it takes.
Rating: PG-13 to R.
Notes: This acts as an AU to the entire Tin Man series and hinges on just one question: "What if DG hadn't let go?" Fifteen annuals pass and while some things may remain the same, many is different. I will also be posting listening music with each part that helped me write it. With this, I offer Dead Queen: Espers and Catching and Killing: Youth Group. EXTREME thanks to [livejournal.com profile] blackletter for being a wonderful & efficient beta.

There was only one account that was actually accurate and that was the story that Azkadellia had patiently told her mother as she held onto her sister’s hand )

Pairing: Glitch/Cain
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: If I did own them, they'd be pretty angry I did this, huh?
Summary: DG listened to Azkadellia and focused. The chances are she'll never live the result down.
Notes: Yes, it's genderswitch, so if that's not your thing, you might want to shy away. Part One here. As well, preview for the next gigantic fic.

If I get groped, I’m telling your mother on you. )

Notes: Part One. Part Two. Part Three. Part Four. Huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] melloniel, without whom, this ending would have been incredibly different. There is a preview at the end for my next fic, going up next Sunday.
Summary: Seven annuals pass and Glitch discovered that he wasn’t the only one who fell in love five annuals ago.

Seven annuals later and Ambrose had all-but-become Glitch again, except for a few moments of painful lucidity. )
