Summary: In the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the characters of the Tin Woodman and Scarecrow are two unique men who cannot sleep, and are therefore left alone when the others in their group do.

Ever wonder what they might have talked about during those long nights?

or: Nick Chopper has lost everything: his body, his heart, and his life. When he joins a strange band of characters headed for the Emerald City, he manages to gain a friend.

pspspsps any Tin Woodman fans want some food?

“You give up some things on the way to finding out who you are, you know,” he said. “There’s a you you have to leave behind, or let die. It’s scary, but I think everyone does it at some point.”

"You're upset?" he asked.

Nick grit his teeth. "Yes."

"Because of the spectacles?"

"Because of the trick, Scarecrow. Why were we deceived? And by who?"

IT'S FINALLY HEEEERE!!!! i hope these chapters were worth the wait!! i checked the dates when they were originally written and i can't believe it's been a year. i'll have to make a birthday post or something...

thank you all for sticking with me this long. hopefully my writing schedule evens out so the next update won't come half a year from now. i'm still four chapters ahead, and we're getting awfully close to finally seeing the Wizard...

about the dtiys, all i've got is a sketch for chapter 12 that i never managed to finish. the amazing bunnieswithknives transformed it into the awesome cover i've got here! go commission them and stuff. as for chapter 13, right now i do not have the energy unfortunately to make something. however! you guys can still draw your own covers, and i'll reblog them and link them in the fic!! bwk's chapter 12 cover is the base for the dtiys.

og sketch below the cut if anyone wants to see what i managed

got some distressing news yesterday morning and all my other plans flew out the window (i’m fine, it wasn’t about me at least)

Trust me, friend. | You want the butcher?!

THE THREE-PART CIRCUS CHAPTER (14-16) IS FINALLY DONE. that means i can do a double-update with chapters 12 and 13!!

i usually try to do some kind of chapter cover, which i’ve managed for the last two uploads, and this time won’t be any different. i had an idea that got some good feedback in BWK’s woz server, so i thought i’d run it by you guys here since this is where i’d host it!

how would you feel about me doing the chapter cover as a dtiys? Draw This In Your Style challenge for those unfamiliar. i draw the chapter cover, and then anyone that wants to participate redraws it in their style however they want to! i would reblog any submissions here as well as feature them in the chapter they’re for on ao3.

lmk what you think!! for now, i will be proofreading the heck out of the double update and sketching out some concepts.

ALEXITHYMIA UPDATE SOON!!!
