Note: Drabbles to try and get my writing back on track. I'll to my best to post any that arc on the same page, otherwise they'll come as they're written. This is a project for the Tin Man 100 at LJ. The body of the drabble must be 100 words, no more, no less.
Surrender
by Lattelady
"Consider the promise you made to the Mystic Man fulfilled," her cool voice and stiff features dismissed him and sent him on his way.
She stood still as a statue, as his boots echoed angrily across the room. She didn't flinch until the door slammed behind him.
"Why did you send him away?" Azkadellia asked in shock. "You love him."
"Have you ever seen a Tin Man cry?" the young Princess's voice broke and tears ran down her face.
"No, they never..."
"I have." She could not fight a ghost. Adora had locked his heart in a suit of guilt.
Fighting Back
By Lattelady
She'd sent him away as if he meant nothing! How dare she hold his heart in her hand and discarded it with such ease.
He was a Tin Man, they never gave up. He'd fought for eight years in the suit, why was he simply walking away now?
When he opened the palace door, he saw her curled on the floor. Her features cool and broken as tears ran down her cheeks.
"I didn't stay because of my promise, but because I love you!" he called out.
"Thank God," she whispered as their lips met and he held her close.
