Enjoyed this story! Did not enjoy the Queen's attitude toward the pairing, tho. - DG was very resourceful, if not overly impulsive, with her plan to overthrow Zero. She was lucky it worked out, because there were some really dangerous and scary scenes there. - Loved the wedding, and loved the name change!
Thanx for sharing.

OK this is so fucking brilliant it needs to be the actual sequel. Brava!

Loving this storyline. I think it's more realistic and true to the character to have never had sex before. More fun too. Love the Gulch storyline...makes sense and gave the Tinman a reason to go after him...and boy howdy did he! I like how DG sticks up for herself and Cain still has his part in rescuing her. Enthralling dear Feistyfox!

Wonderful job! I loved the epicness and sexiness of this story.

hi just found your story over the weekend. love it! I would love to see a sequel of this continued

Always going to be my favorite story in this Fandom.

It was a little hard for me to get through this story, if you'd like me to be completely honest. The plot really was quite phenomenal with her soul splitting and searching for it and whatnot. Her taking on the face of the witch was pretty cool, too. But again we didn't have much secondary character interaction - and I know Raw was there for most of it, but really, the only thing I got from him was that he was linked to DG and that you mimic his speech very well. It was a little better with her foster parents, but it still was overwhelmingly DG and Cain. Which is always great but it just balances the story a little better to have other interactions. But what really made this story difficult to read toward the end was your characterization of DG. She wasn't so bad in your first multi-chapter fic and I really liked her in Holed Up but - maybe I'm wrong - she just seemed really selfish in this story. There was no attempting to see her parents' side during this whole thing and I seriously would have expected Cain to say something along those lines - especially since he's in relatively the same situation: he's a got a son that he doesn't know anymore because he wasn't there to watch him grow up. It just really seemed all about her for the whole story. She didn't really compromise with anything unless it was like threat of death or something, and everyone eventually compromises on something. It's a part of life. But one moment she'd be kind to the sand skipper and then be tearing around complaining about life - even though she really didn't want to tell anyone and Cain had to force her to tell him. Sorry. It was just a little obnoxious. And I love sex and reading about it as much as the next person, but I think a slower approach would've worked better for this story. It just seems like 'boom! I love you, you love me and we're a big happy family' like two or three chapters in. Sex is nice to read about but what really captures the readers is the journey. You want them to read a story and want to visit it over and over because they love the journey you took them through. In this it was just a pining for each other from afar and then oh hey now we decided to do this so let's have sex and we're hardly going to have any truly meaningful conversations. I don't know. It's just my personal opinion and you can totally take it or leave it. I'm super laid back so when I give reviews like this I try to write in more of a helpful way. I don't want you to think I'm "flaming" because if a story is seriously that bad I just don't read it lol. So I hope you don't think I'm trying to be sarcastic or whatever while reviewing. Either way, I'm off to read and write some more. I'll review again when I finish reading another one of yours! Unless of course you don't want my reviews LOL

I absolutely love and adore this story. I also have to say I am steadily working my way through all of your Tin Man fanfiction. You do so well at writing the characters. It is just lovely to read. Also if you right a sequel to this it would be awesome. I know you probably won't considering how long ago you wrote this but I just thought I would put the idea out there. Well six of your Tin Man stories read in two days not bad if I do say so. Thanks for all of your stories they are really well written and they keep sucking me into the plot.

Oooo I absolutely LOVE this story, all 45 chapters of it! : ) The character portrayals were fantastic, the plot was excellent, and the story was well written! Thank you so much for writing and sharing this fic! : )

Hey! It's actually a decentish hour when I'm finishing up this one today! Huzzah! And likewise; another utterly fantastic fic! Holy mackerel! So dark/creepy/angsty in the beginning that gradually became more and more hopeful as the story went along. The whole courtship comb confusion had me in giggles. Great battle sequences. And honestly, who doesn't love wedding drama! The crazy fit throwing and plotting from everyone involved that was just great. Another wonderful job well done!

Super, super cute! Really great story with lots of twists and turns. Enjoyed every bit of it, as I have with all of your stories!

it sounds like a play!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

This was a great little detail: Cain took the identification from her and studied it critically memorizing the information found on it. She started to question him on the story they had just made up and he answered every question she threw at him without hesitation. He had mad Tin Man skills, that was for sure.
