The Wizard of Oz | Shaggy Man, OCs | G | From Gold Hill to Butterfield
Title: From Gold Hill to Butterfield
Series: The Wizard of Oz
Characters: Shaggy Man, OCs
Rating: G
Disclaimer: It's all public domain now, but a hat tip to L. Frank Baum for the leg to stand on.
Fic written for Yuletide 2012. Turned out all my recipient wanted as an Oz fan was a Shaggy Man story, so I set out to write him some backstory. Takes place in a mining town in Colorado, starting in the 1870s.
The Shaggy Man's major quests are in The Road to Oz (tagging along with Dorothy) and Tik-Tok of Oz (searching for his lost brother). We get conflicting information about him -- thanks to a combination of his own tale-telling and Baum's famous retcons -- so this is written in imitation of the books' style, complete with loose concern for continuity.
( The shaggy-haired boy sat on a hard wooden chair outside the bedroom, kicking his heels in the dust. )
