Summary

An exploration of the Toy Soldier as it learns and comes to understand certain human concepts. It's difficulties with the label of realness and being rejected form it, and refusal of people to acknowledge it as a complete person, even by those that should know better. Inspired by discussion on the Mechscord, especially by link_ink, about how infantilized TS is by both fans and crew. So if you like this fic, check out more Good TS Content there. Also a songfic for "Skin" by Reesha Dyer.
