"what we know we do well" by tvashti (PG)
Hi! I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paperflowered and I'll be driving a Small Fandom van this month for the wonderful Syfy miniseries Tin Man. I have not finished a fandom overview yet (I had forgotten all about my offer to do Tin Man recs), but hopefully it will be finished in just a few days. For now, let's start with the recs!
Fandom: TIN MAN
Pairing: none; gen
Length: ~900 words
Warnings: none
Author on LJ:tvashti

Why this must be read: It's a short piece, which I wouldn't usually recommend, but despite a few spelling errors, I really love it. The plot of the story is Cain observing Azkadellia after the miniseries ends, and I love how the focus is on the aftermath, how Az's possession by the Witch has affected her, left her different. There are dark undertones, too, which is a welcome contrast to how the miniseries ended.
It’s easier to observe her when it’s his turn at guard duty. And as Captain of the Personal Guard he makes sure that everyone has a turn guarding the Princess Azkadellia. He makes sure every recruit knows that doing so is more than a possibility, but an eventuality. It’s harder on her, he thinks, at least for the first few rounds.
After all she is working her hardest at being everything the Sorceress was not. In the months, nearly a year, since things have settled down, he has not once seen her hair up in its distinctively rolled style—one that she’s had since childhood if the family portraits are an indication—or an inch of flesh from the neck down. Every now and again either the Queen or DG can convince her to wear a shear overdress with something solid and sleeveless underneath, but that was about as close as anyone got.
