Subject. Booth/Brennan
Title. She Is
Notes. All songs are from Booth's perspective. I will be making a companion mix from Brennan's perspective.

To the Moon and Back - Savage Garden
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying mama never loved her much
and daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection

You And Me - Lifehouse
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

All the Way - Frank Sinatra
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you,
All the way

She Is - The Fray
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed

Crash and Burn - Savage Garden
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash and burn
You're not alone

With Me - Sum 41
I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everything's nothing without you
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

Hundred - The Fray
Cause we have spoken everything
Everything short of I love you

Stay With You - Goo Goo Dolls
Fooled by my own desires
I twist my fate, just to feel you
But you, you turn me toward the light
And you're one with me
Will you run with me?

Have a Little Faith in Me - John Hiatt
Well, I've been loving you for such a long time girl
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us there is no end

Tin Man - FanMix - "At The Beginning"

2009-01-06T05:34:44Z

Medium. TV Miniseries
Fandom. Tin Man
Subject. DG/Cain
Title. At The Beginning
Notes. 15 songs, each song has a 100 word drabble that goes along with it. Cover and Link under the cut.

Kind and Generous – Natalie Merchant

“You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have come this far without you”

Though she tried as hard as she could, there were not enough words in the English, or Ozian language to express DG’s feelings of gratitude towards Wyatt Cain. He had been her protector, her supporter, her strength when she had wanted to curl up in a ball and cry in self-pity and helplessness. Now, as they stood on the balcony watching the suns rise over the O.Z, she met his eyes and realized she didn’t have to put into words everything she was feeling. The smile that graced his face and shone from his eyes told her, he already knew.

For You – The Calling

“Someone's changed me
Something's saved me
And this is who I am
Although I was blinded
My heart let me find out
That truth makes a better man
…
I'm there for you
No matter what
I'm there for you
Never giving up
I'm there for you
For You”

Cain chuckled softly as he watched DG spin in circles in the pouring rain. His arms were crossed over his chest as he leaned against the palace wall keeping watch over the youngest princess as she danced. Although the eclipse had occurred over a month ago he had yet to leave the young woman’s side. She’d told him that he didn’t need to stay, she would be fine if he left, but her eyes had told the truth even when her voice stood firm. Day after day he tried to convince himself he stayed because of a long forgotten promise.

West Coast Wind – The City Drive

“Put your pain aside
It's not the end of time
From where I'm standing”

He found her late one night; half dead in the palace kitchen and sipping scalding hot tea but never flinching. When she started crying he held her, rubbing her back and whispering words of comfort. Self-pity and loathing had ravaged DG’s mind for weeks after the eclipse. Fifteen annuals of pain and darkness had been her fault. She asked him how he could ever forgive her. She was the reason his wife was dead. He whispered that she was not to blame.
For the first night in months she slept soundly as he stroked her hair and held her close.

Beside Me – Forty Foot Echo

“And when you're not around
I like to say the things
That I could never say to your face
‘Til you can fly awake, inside your dream awaits
To see you there, when you're beside me
And still you’re beside me…
Yesterday's far away, and I won't be running back
‘Cause I won't leave you”

Did she really ask him how he could ever forgive her? He wanted to laugh at the idea. She was only five years old when she had changed the O.Z. and his life forever. Even if he had created a twisted timeline linking his wife’s death to what happened in the cave, he could never blame the woman that was now asleep in his arms. If anything, he should be thanking her. We are all looking for second chances. He had a second chance at life because of her. He wasn’t about to waste it dwelling on blame and regret.

Downfall – Matchbox Twenty

“Ive always been with you
Here and now
Give all thats within you
Be my savior
And Ill be your downfall"

The months passed and Cain didn’t know how much longer he could bare being DG’s bodyguard. He wanted to stay, more than anything. But it was dangerous. DG was the embodiment of everything he thought had died while he was trapped in the tin suit. She was joy, faith, hope, and love. The light to his darkness. He was quickly falling in love with the young woman who had come charging heart first into his field of vision a half-annual ago. He couldn’t fall in love with her, a bodyguard was not supposed to fall in love with his princess.

I’ll Keep Your Secrets – Trans-Siberian Orchestra

“What is this thing you keep inside
Out of the light and wrapped in pride
Always afraid that one day it will show”

He began putting space between himself and DG after he decided to leave the palace. He’d barely talked to her unless absolutely necessary. It was slow torture. This would be the worst torture however: telling her that he was leaving. Unfortunately, she spoke before he could.

“What is your problem?”
“Pardon me?”
“Why won’t you chase or follow me?”
“Don’t you like alone time, Princess?”
“You won’t even talk to me.”
…
“I miss you.” She whispered.

He looked into her tear filled eyes and sighed. Mentally he slowly unpacked, placing his few belongings once more in their proper place.

She Changes Your Mind - Copeland

“She changes your mind
When you see the joy in her eyes
It makes you feel
It makes you feel
That she draws your eyes
From all the things that made you numb
It makes you feel
It makes you feel
…
It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word
And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner
It keeps me listening for you voice around each corner”

Some days he still wished that he had ignored the pleading look in DG’s eyes the day he had wanted to leave the palace for good. Today however, he knew he had made the painful, but right decision. Her soft voice called out to him to follow her through the maze on the periphery of Finaqua. He had spent all afternoon not only searching for the exit but for her as well. She taunted him; she dashed around corners just as he reached a hand out to grab a hold of her. She was forever just out of his reach.

Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? – She & Him

“Why don't you sit right down and make me smile
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you end it?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf”

The O.Z. was the complete opposite of the Other Side as far as age was concerned. In the O.Z. alcohol was legal at eighteen annuals and twenty-one was when a person was finally recognized as an adult. Although many could argue that DG had been an adult for many annuals, now it would finally be official. As the date drew closer the young woman felt a mixed sense of excitement and apprehension. She would finally be considered an adult. She just wondered, would her Tin Man finally see that, or would it remind him of how young she truly was?

Things Don’t Always Turn Out That Way – The Calling 

“So wipe that smile off your face
Before it gets too late
There’s only so much time
For you to make up your mind”

He couldn’t stop his growl whenever a new prince or duke joined DG on the palace’s ballroom floor. The glass of water in his hand was close to shattering in his grip. As the Birthday Ball drew to a close he knew he couldn’t just stand back and watch any longer. With determined strides he crossed the room until he was standing behind the woman. He placed his hand against her arm and gently turned her around. “Dance with me?” He was answered with a radiating smile that not one of the princes or dukes had the pleasure of receiving.

Gorgeous – Idina Menzel

“In a perfect world, in another time
In a far off place we wouldn't need to justify
Everything we are
And all that we believe
We could finally be
Whoever we both want to be”

They danced around the ballroom floor as gracefully as cattle. He stepped on her toes. She tripped on her dress. To onlookers they made an extremely odd pair. A gruff Tin Man and dainty princess did not mix. Yet the couple could care less what others thought. In their minds they moved elegantly, as if they had been dancing together all their lives. The gossiping royalty did not surround them; they were alone, surrounded only by candlelight. In a world all their own they held each other close, letting their fluid movement put words to the thoughts in their heads.

She’s Like The Wind – Patrick Swayze

“I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane”

Cain took extra time securing her room after the ball. He checked under the bed, behind the curtains, in every shadow. With so many people in the castle he needed to be certain of her safety. DG whispered softly that he could stay with her; he could stay on the couch instead of leaving her all alone. He agreed without hesitation. As she slept he watched over her, ever her protector. Her face was the image of contentment, her dark hair falling like a halo around her head. She was vision from a dream. A dream that was all his.

Fairytale – Sarah Bareilles

“Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing”

DG wouldn’t marry some random stuck-up snobby prince. She wouldn’t. She refused. Her mother married for love. So why now was she being denied that privilege? She didn’t want some pompous boy by her side telling her what to do and how to do it. What she wanted was Wyatt Cain. He was the only one she could ever imagine by her side when she was crowned. She loved him. If her mother had a problem with that DG didn’t care. Her mother was allowed to marry for love. The O.Z. be damned if she wasn’t allowed that as well.

In Her Eyes – Josh Groban

“I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am”

“I know that I am not a prince, a duke or an earl. I’m just an old Tin Man and your bodyguard. But… if you will accept me… I would like to be more for you. Your parents have, finally, given their consent. Took your mother a bit of convincing though. The point is…DG, you came crashing into my life with your heart open. In doing so you helped me find mine again. And if you want it, it’s yours. I love you.”
Glitch smiled to himself as he secretly watched the nervous man practice his speech in the gardens.

Come Here Boy – Imogen Heap

“I know that my face
Is only too familiar to your sleep
I can see it in your eyes
And I can tell by your body heat”

She must be dreaming. He couldn’t be here? Asking her that? Saying those words she had longed for so long to hear. She nodded her head slowly, shock still covering her face. When his arms wrapped around her and their lips met she knew she was truly awake. In her dreams he never kissed her like this. With such passion and love in a single movement. In dreams he never held her as if his life depended on it. She was awake. She was in Cain’s arms. She loved him. He loved her. And she was going to marry him.

At The Beginning – Richard Marx and Donna Lewis

“We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you”

Cain wrapped his arms softly around the woman standing in front of him on the balcony. Together they watched the suns leisurely rise from behind the horizon. The coronation ball had gone long into the night yet neither had felt the least bit fatigued as the last of the guests left. They stayed up waiting for morning with anticipation. A new day. A new era. A new life for them. At that moment they were no longer princess and Tin Man nor queen and prince consort. They were simply DG and Cain, starting out on a whole new journey together.

Tin Man Fanfic: Her Own Personal Tin Man

2008-12-19T18:21:16Z

Her Own Personal Tin Man
Rating: K
Words: 608
Summary: What started as a simple promise to an old man quickly grew into something more.
Warning: Total fluff and sappiness.

Her Own Personal Tin Man

Wyatt Cain had not left DG’s side for over a year. In that year he had gotten job offers from near and far. From Central City he was given the offer of returning to work as a Tin Man. He turned it down. From Queen Lavender he was given the extreme honor of receiving an offer to lead the Royal Guard. He would have a title and an army all his own. He turned it down. The only title he wanted was that of DG’s bodyguard, confidant and friend. Her own personal Tin Man.

After Cain spoke with the Queen about his decision on the Royal Guard he walked to the gazebo where he knew he would find the woman that had become the reason for all of his refusals. She was standing against the railing watching the sun drop beneath the horizon. He stopped walking and watched the way her hair blew about in the soft summer breeze. Her skin nearly glowed as silver moonlight began to overtake golden sun. He wasn't sure when the kid he had first met had become the woman standing before him now. Deep down he knew that she had never been a kid, it had just taken him a while to figure that out.

As he took a step forward Cain released a breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding. He shoved his hands deep within his pockets and began up the steps of the gazebo. His footsteps echoed slightly in the silence of the dusk, announcing his presence to the young princess in front of him.

DG turned towards the man, welcoming him with the soft smile that he could call his own. She walked towards the swing in the center of the gazebo and sat down on one side. She looked up at him asking him to sit, and confess, in a look that spoke volumes. He obeyed.

“I turned the Queen’s offer down.” He said softly, catching her eyes with his. He felt something inside of him flutter as the light behind her blue eyes shone ever brighter.

“Why?” She asked, trying to hide the smile that threatened to never stop growing.

“I once made a promise to the Mystic Man,” Cain began “to never leave your side.”

The smile that had grown across DG’s face slowly fell away. She looked down to where her fingers gently played with a ribbon on her dress, hidden tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

“So, that is why you stay with me.” She whispered softly, a fact not a question. “Because of a promise you made to an old man.”

“That was the reason in the beginning.” His voice was as soft as hers, but confident and firm.

Cain placed his fingers beneath the young woman’s chin tilting her face towards his until she was forced to look up into his eyes. He ran a thumb across her cheek, wiping a stray tear away.

“But now,” He whispered as a soft smile spread across his lips “I stay because I want to.”

“You want to?’ DG asked both quietly and unsure.

“Yes. I want to.” Cain chuckled “Honestly DG, I don’t know what I would do with myself if I had to go a day without following you on one of your crazy adventures, or saving you from unwanted suitors, or… hell…just being away from you at all would drive me insane.”

That’s when he saw it, the look he had been searching for for months. The mirror of the emotions he knew were shinning from his own eyes. He hadn’t wanted to fall in love with the princess. Bodyguards were not supposed to fall in love with their wards. Yet he had nonetheless. Despite the age difference, despite being a widower, despite her royal blood, he had fallen in love with her. That was the reason he stayed.

Song: When The Wrong One Loves You Right by Celine Dion

It’s not supposed to be his hands on her hips. It’s not supposed to be his breath in her ear. It’s not supposed to be his lips on her neck. It’s not supposed to be Fred. It’s supposed to be Ron.

From the very beginning it was supposed to be Ron. Their bickering and their close friendship lead everyone to believe that it was supposed to be them together in the end. But here she was, pressed up against a wall by his older brother.

Her legs wrapped around his waist as he caught her lips with his. All thoughts of Ron left her mind in a blur. This is what it was supposed to feel like. This is the heat and passion that she had always imagined. This is where she was supposed to be. This is whom she was supposed to be with. It was supposed to be Fred all along.

Song: Come Here Boy by Imogen Heap

I can’t lie. I want him. I don’t know why it’s him and not the other. Maybe it’s his smile. The one he saves for me. George has never smiled at me that way. I think Fred sees what no one else does: that there is more to me than my smarts. And I think that’s what makes me want him. He sees me. When everyone else sees help on their essay for Potions, he sees me.

He knows too. He knows that I want him. We sit next to each other at dinner, and unbeknownst to the family his hand brushes my knee under the table. We stand next to each other in the living room, and his hand brushes my back as he passes me.
I watch from the corner of my eye as he walks up stairs to the upper floor and away from the mini gathering of friends. After a minute I follow him. Leaving the rational side, the smart side, of me behind. I don’t want to talk about books or school. I just want to have fun. I want him.

Song: She Turns Me On by Smash Mouth

She was just my younger brother’s best friend. I never saw her as anything else. She was nerdy, book smart, plain as can be. At least I thought she was. Everything changed when she started dating Ron. She actually put down the books and started having fun with the rest of us.

How could I have never realized how beautiful she is? Her smile could rival the brightest star. She radiates beauty and joy. I wish it could have been me to make her so happy. I wish I had realized how amazing she was when I had the chance. She deserves more than Ron. He is always picking fights with her and making her cry. I wouldn’t make her cry.

But when he wraps his arms around her she is happy. And who am I to stop her from smiling?

Song: What About Now by Lonestar

Expectations of others were all they ever lived up to. Hermione with her books. Fred with his pranks. For once in their life they wanted to live for something more. It started as an accident, meeting in the kitchen when neither of them could sleep. After a few nights of accidental meetings they both knew they didn’t want it to be an accident anymore.

After a few weeks of meetings they decided to get away. Away from the expectations. They wanted to live. She wanted to be adventurous. He wanted to be his own person, not half of a pair.
So together they packed their bags and left. She left her books behind; he left his bag of tainted treats. They wrote a note, explaining that they didn’t know where they were going, but that where ever it was, they were going together.

Song: One Night Only by Jennifer Hudson

In secret they had met each other one night. In secret they lived their lives from day to day. And now as the war was drawing closer those secret times together were growing few and far between. Hermione dreamed of him nightly as she traveled looking for the horcuxes. His hands on her hips and her lips tangled with his. Neither knew where one ended and the other began.

After months of separation they were finally together again. They knew the war was coming, and neither knew how it would end. So for this one night they blocked out the voices from outside, they blocked out the terror and the tension. They tangled themselves together and breathed each other in. Their ecstasy blocking out the fear. For this one night it could be them and them alone. Tomorrow they would join the others to fight for their lives.

Song: Not Coming Home by Maroon 5

“That’s it!” Hermione yelled to empty walls. “I am through! I hate him!”

She couldn’t take the arguments or the pain anymore. Ever since their first year of Hogwarts Hermione had put up with Ron’s ignorance and idiocy. After knowing him now for 10 years, and dating him for two she was finally done. People say that opposites attract, and for a while she believed them. She believed their bickering was just a sign of their affection and love for one another. But after months of screaming she could finally tell the difference between hatred and love.

She jumped as the front door to her flat opened. She turned around and saw wet red hair hanging in the eyes of the intruder. Thinking it was Ron she flung her glass of firewhiskey at him.

“Woah! Hermione! It’s me!” Fred ducked the glass and it shattered on the floor around his feet.

“Oh Fred! I’m so sorry!” Hermione said as her hands rose to cover her face in embarrassment.

She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her and she finally broke. She collapsed into him and began crying. After a few moments her crying slowed and she could hear the words of comfort that Fred had been whispering to her all along.

Song: Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole

Everyone saw her as a simple bookworm. A bookworm who could tell you about the history of Hogwarts and each founder, the recipe for Draught of the Living Death, and what the characteristics of a werewolf were forwards and back. I watched her for 5 years at Hogwarts as Harry and Ron used her as a walking encyclopedia.

After her graduation I was still the only one who saw something different in Hermione. There was something hidden just beneath the surface. Something in her that wanted to come out and join in the fun and festivities. But her well-known guise was keeping her back, holding her to what she’s always been. I wished I could be the one to help her relax and let the real Hermione out.
But just as she lived with a mask on, so did I. She only saw me as one half of “The Twins”, one of the pranksters. She would never take me seriously. Who would after my many years of living up to the expectations of everyone around me?

Songs of the Heart #3: I'll Dream of You Again

Summary: Dreams are all she has left.
Prompt: Put your iTunes on shuffle, and write a drabble based on each of the first ten songs that play.
Song: I’ll Dream of You Again by Harry Connick Jr.

Dreams were all she had of him now. Dreams of stolen moments and secret kisses, a romance kept in the dark. Dreams of fiery red hair and ocean blue eyes, a boy that knew how to love her. She dreamed of wrapping her arm around his waist and never letting him go.

But when her eyes opened all that would be within her grasp was a pillow. Tears used to fall after each dream, tears for the boy she lost. But now she just fell back to sleep. Dreaming of the day when she would find him once again.

Songs of the Heart #2: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Summary: On a cloudy day Hermione relaxes.
Prompt: Put your iTunes on shuffle, and write a drabble based on each of the first ten songs that play.
Song: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles

No one could have believed that the poor little bookworm would fall in love with one of most notorious pranksters of Hogwarts. But here she was, lying in a patch of tall grass, staring up at a sky of bright blue with a tall red head by her side.

“Do you see that one Hermione?” Fred said softly, pointing to one of the soft white clouds far above their heads. “It looks like a dragon to me. What do you think?”

“I don’t see the dragon, it looks like a big lump of nothing.” She responded, turning her head slightly to the side to try and find the scaled beast.

“It’s right there! See the wings? And the tail?” He said trying to point to each.

“Whatever you say Love, whatever you say.”

iTunes Challenge #1: The Way You Look Tonight

Summary: Fred thinks she’s more beautiful than the bride.
Prompt: Put your iTunes on shuffle, and write a drabble based on each of the first ten songs that play.
Song: The Way You Look Tonight by Michael Buble

No one is supposed to outshine the bride on her wedding day. She is supposed to be the most radiant and the most beautiful. But although Fleur does look beautiful in her gown, she doesn’t hold a candle to you.

Your brown curls fall in ringlets against your pale shoulders. They sway with the movements of your body as Harry spins you around the dance floor. Your navy blue dress flows around your knees as you move from side to side. The diamond bracelet around your wrist twinkles under the lights of the canopy, yet are dull in comparison to the light in your eyes.

The music stops and you turn to applaud the band with the rest of the guests. Harry holds out his arm to you and you wrap your own around it. You make your way back to the table laughing together, and when you reach it your eyes meet mine. I blush, feeling like a little kid who has been caught sneaking away with cookies before dinner.

I hear you murmur something softly to Harry and he leaves you alone with me. I watch as your hand fidgets with the seam on the side of your dress. I am captivated by their small movements until I hear your voice.

“Fred? I was wondering…” You say softly, looking down at your feet. “Would you like to dance?”

I can see the blush cross your cheeks in the dim lighting and I smile as I stand up and take your hand.

“I would love to.”

Welcome to hideinshadows15's graphics/fanfiction/art in general journal.

I'm just a goofy college kid who has an over active imagination. This journal will be filled with a lot of what comes out of that imagination. Stories... icons... pictures I take... everything and anything.

Although this is mostly fun and games, there are a few things I'd like people to read first before taking anything (graphics) from here.

1. Please comment. Tell me what you like, and what you don't like. What I should keep doing, and what I should change. Also, tell me when you take something. I would like to see where my graphics are going and to know that people like them. : )

2. Please credit. I spend alot of time and thought on these graphics. Thank you.

3. Do not...I repeat...DO NOT! Hotlink. If I find out someone is stealing my bandwith...I will not be pleased. Hot linking is when you right click on an image and use it's URL for other things. Please do not copy and paste an image. Save the image to your own server, upload it to an online photo album (such as www.photobucket.com) and then use it.

Those are my 3 simple rules. Thank you for reading them. : )

Feel free to add me to your friends list!

If you ever have a request, whether it is a story/drabble or a graphic just let me know! If I can't do it I might be able to point you in the direction of someone that can.

Thanks for visiting! : )

-Erin

After a long hiatus...I bring you...new icons!
