Tin Man Drabble requests 11.0

[surranndie]

Let's get this party started! Also, help me get back to the best part of our lovely fandom - Glitch and Cain. I love other pairings like crazy (duh...), so if anyone has a burning desire for other (slash) pairings, I'll definitely fill those requests.

But - really. Glitch/Cain. *sage nod*

While Glitch was talking, Cain had wandered over and his fingers grazed the soft stubble that lined the edge of Glitch's jaw.

Mmmm... *brain temporarily shuts off*

Until we got to the Northern Island and found that painting."

Glitch swallowed, taking a slow breath. "I figured you started being nicer to me because I saved your life."

Yes yes yes - I really like this insight. Throughout the series we see Cain gradually coming to understand who/what Glitch really is, and that is, at some level, more important than little details like Glitch saving his life.

Oh, that's such a wonderful catch! \o/ You're so good at reading into all the little details! Thank you!

Now I've got the song in my head:

I remember skies/reflected in your eyes

Beautifully worked-in without any awkwardness!

Cain's voice was heartbreakingly fragile

Finally Glitch realizes what's going on, not by sensing his own physical pain, but by recognizing Cain's anguish. *wibbles*

*clings some more!!!*

*cuddles Buford while chasing you down the page of drabbles! :D*

My favorite little detail: Vy-Sor shifted to stand in front of the man who had trained him from childhood.

Vy-Sor leaned forward and stole a hard, passionless kiss

*gasp* Oh, wow. I love how you've made him a person with his own motivations instead of Mr. Yes-Sorceress, No-Sorceress. And it works.

Put DG and Cain in a room together and eventually, the claws came out.

Hee hee hee!

"This has been the most bizarre intervention I could imagine. I'm getting fashion advise from a cop and my childhood science teacher."

ROFL!!!! I can totally hear her say this - in her "you are out of your tiny minds!" voice.

This is ADORABLE!!!!



I think you mean "advice" and "footwear" *puts down blue pencil and apologizes*

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

YAY! *dances* This one was quite a challenge so I'm thrilled to hear that it works! Thanks!!

I have lost the power of speech after that, so let me repeat what 'Nillie said - surreal and gorgeous!

Ambrose felt sturdy, secure fingers lifting his chin. "All you had to do was ask," he said, leaning in to kiss Ambrose as if they had done this a thousand times.

Which, Ambrose realized with a start, they had.

Wow. And Guh. Gow? Wuh? Well, incoherent enjoyment, anyway.

Hee hee hee!

Positive that Glitch had suddenly grown several new appendages

Squee! Octopoid groping!

warm, vanilla scented breath and cold lips

I LOVE how you tell us that Glitch got his way!

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

\o/ Thank you!!

Yeah, I probably did mean those things. But since I'm incredibly lazy and forget to hit the "check spelling" box before hitting "post," those things tend to slip through since I don't really beta these things.

~drabble fail~ *hangs head in shame* I really do appreciate the editing, though!! :D

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

Yay for incoherent enjoyment!! *dances* Thank you very much - it seems like this was the most popular of the drabbles! :D

I love how matter-of-fact Amelia is about the whole situation. She walks that delicate OC balance - she sheds light on our boys without distracting us from them. Well done!

And I love how the whole three-way relationship - whatever it is - is something that works, somehow, albeit with a bit of realistic friction here and there.

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

WHOO GROPING!!! *ahem* Sorry. :D

Again, you manage to find the tiniest of details and call me on them! Bwahaha! I love that! :D Thanks for that!

[amedia.livejournal.com]

Oh NOEZ! I did not mean to make you feel like fail! *flails*

I forget, you can't edit comments once someone has responded, so it's pointless to point out typos in commentfic. It's just you hardly ever make them, so these stood out way more than most people's would've. *clings to surr's ankles and begs forgiveness*

Re: Ok, I'm being MADLY specific, sorry

Oh, this is such a cool interpretation of the prompt - not only that Raw is crushing on Glitch, but that Raw's feelings are being filtered *through* Raw from Cain. Sweet and creative - and I thought it was going to be melancholy until - Raw smacked Cain upside the head with his palm. YAY! That was VERY gratifying to read, 'cause it's what Cain needs!

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

This one was a hard one to balance - it was supposed to be Ambrose/Glitch but Cain always has to butt his fat head into their lives! :D So, it's good to know that it worked despite that!! I'm so glad you mentioned how the OC is used - that's exactly how I try to use them, as ways to further the story without the characters themselves having to state obvious things that make no sense for the scene. That's what OCs are for - exposition!

Re: I'll be watching you

I love how Cain's exasperation with patiently watching Glitch look at contraptions is actually *relieved* by getting to knock someone down! Great characterization of both our heroes. And poor Reginald, another nicely unobtrusive OC!

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

*hides in further shame* Actually, I can edit comments (as long as I do it before anyone replies to the comment itself). It's a feature of paid accounts. But...I'm reluctant to do that because every edit of a comment leads to it getting resent to the person. So, for example, I edited one of the drabbles twice after posting and so that person ended up with 3 copies in their inbox. Which leaves we with an elaborate excuse to be lazy and not edit! Bwahaha!!

Ooooh. Aaaah. I like Cain being all protective, which could be read as slashy or not - and which makes Zero's kissing Ambrose an act of incredible bravery. And Ambrose kisses back! OMG. I love how you ended it there, and with Zero's eyes closed, so we never know how Cain reacted. It's a great moment.

Re: Ok, I'm being MADLY specific, sorry

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

Hhehehehee! Raw knows when someone needs to be thwapped upside the head. *sage nod* Thanks so much!!

[amedia.livejournal.com]

Cain noticed right off that Ambrose's hands were cold. He had the overwhelming urge to fix that.

Awww...! What a lovely little detail, that really sums up in miniature what Cain is doing in this story! *hugs the sweetness*

Re: I'll be watching you

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

hahhahaha!! *bows proudly* Thanks!!!

[amedia.livejournal.com]

I love Glitch's unwavering trust and how Cain recognizes and is sobered by it. And I love how you use little details - like Cain's noticing Glitch's fingers turning white as he grips the pillow - to show us how the characters are feeling without hitting us over the zipper with it.

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I hadn't even thought of that, that Zero didn't see Cain's reaction! *intrigued* That just brings a whole new perspective on the scene! *shiver* Thank you!!

[surranndie.livejournal.com]

*hugs you for your awesome kindness* Thanks!! :D
