You are the most awesome person in the universe for writing that.
It took a surprisingly emotional turn when Alice began the retelling, and then the conclusion with Charlie left me feeling wistful. A real heart-clencher, this. My inner hopeless romantic was very much satisfied.
See, that's what I meant when I said it was completely not the fic I set out to write! I didn't mean to get all angsty; it was supposed to be a jokey piece about wanting to be their own legends and trying to sell their autobiographies. I swear, this fandom is making my typical writing style completely wonky.
I even had to use the word "shag" to lighten things up!
I wouldn't worry about it. The fic was powerful for that surprising change in tone instead of being inconsistent. I felt like you were expressing different aspects of their love and their relationship (and also Charlie, who was lovely once again), and I had a pretty emotional response to it.
Just let it happen, lady. You're producing great work! Tumble down that rabbit hole and see where it takes you. We're all along for the ride with you, after all. :p
Seriously loved it. It was sweet, sad, hilarious all at the same time. I actually teared up when Alice started retelling her story. Hatter's "I think I died once" kept me teary. But in a good way.
Hatter's bits about snogging and fighting a war then shagging were really funny. So was Charlie's obsession with tv and just Charlie in general. Cuz how can that knight not make you smile?
In my particular head-canon, Jack and the Duchess eventually got over themselves/other people and got married. There's a reference to it about halfway through this fic that should make it clearer:
He took a camera through once and came back with pictures of the royal wedding- Jack, now the King, and the Duchess, now the Queen-

I especially enjoyed Charlie's ramblings about the series, spin-offs and reality shows
