  Summary

  Boq has been having unusual nightmares ever since he arrived at Shiz. He knows there must be something more to them than just anxiety.
  ------
  A time travel-esque Boq centric fic with a twist, where instead of going back directly, the Tin Man can only try to change the past via influencing Boq at Shiz through dreams and other magical ways. Maybe fate doesn't have to be set in stone

  Summary

  A 'missing scene' from the fic A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes by apolloreyes, through the eyes of Nessa.

  This is how it starts, small favors and quiet pleading for him to stay, over and over and over again. And, Boq accepted, because of course he did. But Tin Man has no intention of allowing this to happen again. Not again.
