princesstutuTitle: The Machine Unmakes the Man
Fandom: Princess Tutu (anime version)
Character(s): Edel and Fakir
Pairing(s): None
Rating: PG (for implied character death and the manner thereof)
Word Count: ~1625
Warnings: Spoilers for episode 13
A/N: Part of my LJ-to-Dreamwidth fanfiction port; originally written in 2007. I would not pry a minute out of episodes 12-13 of Princess Tutu, but it has always troubled me, artistically speaking, that the animators failed to storyboard in even a hint of [spoiler]'s rescue. That character's abrupt reappearance seems more cheaply theatrical than it ought to be in a story which is otherwise much better about managing plot consequences. So here, for anyone interested, is a deleted scene from episode thirteen to fill in the gap. Crossposted fromnebroadwe to princess_tutu and princesstutu.
Dedication: For Katie the Elder, who also feels the lack.
Remember your place, he'd said as he cut the heartstrings she'd so unexpectedly developed. A cheap deus ex machina, that's what you are, and all that's fit for this degenerate age.
