A couple people asked for a commentary on "Birds," my really official first Tin Man fic. It's Ambrose/the Queen, present tense, and I refused to use proper names. So here goes:
I loved the way it started off so chastely too, it was so in keeping with their personalities. And the feet! ^^
Propriety must be adhered to and all that... until the very very very last minute. And that mental picture of Ambrose curled up on a dainty lady's chaise (I'm thinking like this), snugged in a hand-sewn quilt with his feetsies sticking out just KILLS me. :D
Whee! Shout out! ^^ And I totally loved how for just that little exchange you could imagine either saying either part.
I just HAD to. I was thinking "Where's a good palce for Ozian booze- OH!" And after reading it over a zillion times I think it's him-her-him-her, but I may be wrong.
OMG.... I totally missed that! How did I miss that? Genius foreshadowing! *shivers**flail* The pen thing needed to be worked back in, and it's just a subtle "Oh NO" moment. Also it's that line in particular that's making me want to do some sort of post-series sequel. *facepalm

I was juuuuuuust about to go request this. It is LOVERLY. I enjoy the self-indulgence, I really, really do. You make it sound even more swanky that it was before. ♥
Except: the glint of silver peaking out of his curls. Unless you meant, like...popping up. In which case ignore me.
I never had any idea the brandy&vapors part was meant to be read either way. I always read it as A-brandy, Q-vapors. Cause he probably thought he was being sooo rebellious by wanting the brandy, and then she shows him up wishing for street drugs. Oh, Queen, you really are fiesty.

I adored this fic the first time around, and the second time with your commentary had made me love it more!
It starts off so chaste and just keeps that sort of innocence. And I love the dangling feet!

"Ageless Light" shout out! And no, I have no idea who says what. Read it however you like.

A pen is perched over his left ear and she almost smiles at the glint of silver peaking out of his curls [U c whut I did thar?]

She is proud, noble, and unafraid on this silent morning [...and no birds sing],

We should totally have a Who Needs Grammar day. Everyone would intentionally write HORRIBLY.

Hee, it's nice to be self-indulgent sometimes! I think I will copy this meme, myself.
