Love this!
*** Ch 5
She was most definitely in lust with one Wyatt Cain. Her own personal Tin Man, Boy Scout and protector. Okay, she'd been at least slightly in lust with him three days after she met him. Before that, she'd thought he looked damn fine for a man who spent years in a tin suit, and how the hell was he still anything resembling sane? Three days later, she had begun silently thanking the good Lord above every time he collected deadfall for a campfire, as it required quite a bit of bending over. And man did she feel pervy for it.The man was grieving for his family, helping her as a point of honor and coming across all paternal on her. At least, he was trying to come across as paternal. But she sure as hell wasn't his kid, and he knew it.
Okay, so she was hopelessly in lust. Yeah, she loved him as well, but the love part wasn't her current problem. Her problem was that they'd been dancing with each other for the past couple of months.

"Your Tin Man, perhaps?" Az's face softened, but there was still a shadow to her eyes. She was so easy to set off into a downward spiral. DG scolded herself for not thinking this through."Precisely who I don't want to ask. I don't want to seem like a kid. It's bad enough when he calls me that. Besides, he'd do a lot of blushing, stammer around and walk off. Of course, I could just tackle him and demand step-by-step instructions. It might work for the end result, but it would still come across as slightly less than sophisticated and experienced." DG grabbed a handful of grapes from a bowl sitting on the side table.
"DG, if the swollen lips and bruise on your neck last week were any indication, I don't think he sees you as a child. At this point, mother is waiting to put out the wedding banns."
DG choked on her grape, having to actually pound on her own chest to dislodge it. "Mom and Dad know?" Her voice was rough from coughing out the fruit.
"It's the most well-known secret in the castle, because you were so very secretive in almost having sex outside of the stables. In full view of a stable boy and two grooms. Or in the garden, where the gardener was working at the other end, and I believe the second-floor maid was cleaning windows. Word is, she almost rubbed through the glass watching and then dragged the cook off to places unknown." Az picked up her book once more. "You know much more about the subject than I do."
"Which maid was it?" DG's eyes were wide.
"Does it matter?" Azkadellia looked incredulously at her.
"Yes."
"Why?"
DG grinned. "Because, she'll evidently be able to answer all my questions."

Love this!!
Story 1: A year after the eclipse General Cain is on a campaign to rid the North of Longcoats when a mysterious force starts attacking his troops. The Royal Family, intent on a strong show of leadership, joins him at the Ice Palace but DG starts to hear voices once again beckoning her presence.
Story 2: A sort-of sequel to "Moving Mountains". This will be a series of one-shots, drabbles, short stories in no particular chronological order of the continuing adventures of DG, Cain, Az, Bowen, Glitch, and Raw and company. Likely to be forever in progress as stories pop into my head.

Summary
Defeating the witch looks bleak until DG's friends present a plan that could keep her alive long enough save the O.Z. However, the cost is high and not hers to bear alone. Technically Omegaverse but on the mild side.
Note, rating changed to Mature
