Greatly enjoyed this - particularly Cain spitting it out while he's doing paperwork like that. *g* Such a romantic! *snort*

[cooking_spray]

Glad to hear it. Cain and I; we are similarly aromantic and bad at timing - write what you know, they say. =P

This is wonderful, it's the first Tin Man fanfic I've read, after re-watching the movies made me realize how totally in love Cain and Glitch were. And this was a great way to start, I love how you've captured Glitch's absentmindedness, and Cain's inability to deal with feelings.

"Tell me what does, Cain, because I haven't a clue."

That line was perfect.

I am ever-so-pleased to have that distinction, and I'm glad you found your intitiation into the realm of Tin Man fan fiction pleasurable. Thanks so much.

And yes, there's enough canon subtext to sink a ship, with these two. =P

I really want to make a pun about it "sinking" the DG/Cain "ship" but that might be a bit mean, and also pretty lame ;)

Don't worry, as this was exactly the kind of petty insinuation I was trying to make with that metaphor. =P Don't get me wrong, I'm an equal opportunity fangirl. . . but I can choose the direction in which I want to set my sails.

Ha! I'm warm and fuzzy and smiling and giggling a little. I love this.

Oh, and Cain's list of all the hard things he's done with Adora's pregnancy being last... I had to stop and giggle a moment. Too cute.

I adore little uncertain Glitch running away, and how you played with his memory. Really wonderful story, thank you for sharing.

[cooking_spray]

Aw, I'm always glad to inspire warm, fuzzy feelings. I'm glad you enjoyed it. =]

Glitch makes a show furiously stamping the snow from his clothing and fumbling with the scarf, which probably does nothing for the sake of the carpet, but is so absurdly adorable that Cain forgets to mind.

I really like this line ^.^

Great story, and loved the letters idea. I also thought it was interesting how you made Glitch bring up Cain being with DG instead of him since he is the "prince" - an idea I'm surprised no one has thought of yet (at leats not what I have read anyway).
I usually am not ab ig fan of longer fics because my mind tends to wonder, but this had the perfect amount of romance and humor and plot. ^.^

Ha, the giftee rather favored that one, as well. =P

And I'm surprised I haven't been beaten to the punch, actually (in your experience, at least). Most Cain/Glitch shippers that I've encountered seem to acknowledge the possibitity of Cain/DG (if only one-sidedly), but most Cain/DG shippers usually entirely overlook the possibility of Cain having an attraction to Glitch. It's a classic trope, fictionally speaking, and so I thought it'd be a reasonable conclusion for Glitch to jump to. (And Cain's reasoning mimics my own, too - ordinarily, I probably would've ended up on the other end of the shipping spectrum, had he and Glitch not had twice as much on-screen chemistry. . .)

Anyhow, I'm happy that you found the story enjoyable enough to stick with it! Thanks for commenting.
