Pre-adventure sex = win. I love this line: '...while she loved yesterdays, she wanted to remember what it was like to have today.' I've got my popcorn and look forward to more story. I'm hooked!

Yay! ^_^ I'm so glad you like it -- my favorite part of this chapter is the part about his bulletproof vest. That was one of those little bits of dialogue I hadn't planned, it just happened. XP A lot of my dialogue happens like that when Alice and Hatter are together -- I'm working on a chapter right now where they're separated, and I'm finding it's not nearly as fun to write. LAWL

BTW, congrats on completing "Once Upon a Time"! I loved it from beginning to end, and what an absolutely stunning conclusion! I'm planning on reccing it at epic_recs eventually. ^_^

Alice-and-Hatter dialogue is some of the easiest to write. It just HAPPENS. It's absolutely brilliant! They're so great together. I love how you write them, though--a very easy, casual, and intimate sort of affectionate animosity. Also, I think the bulletproof vest is to Hatter as the security blanket was to Linus from 'Peanuts'.

(*squeek!* Thanks so much! There's still the epilogue left to read, though. And I had no idea that community even existed. Now I want to cruise it!)

(PS, may I friend? I hardly ever write anything unfanficcy here, but still.)

Of COURSE you can friend! ^_^ I'd be honored. This journal is actually my writing journal, which I update most often. My personal (read: boring) journal is k_puff if you're interested. And yeah, epic_recs is one of those hidden gems on LJ! I love it, it exposes me to a lot of fics I would never find otherwise, in about a zillion fandoms. It's awesome.

Shower and sex before travel because you don't know when you'll get a chance for both again. Good advice. :D

[alittleoddish]

Alice and Hatter -- they know how to live. XD I'm glad you liked it!

Came for the smut, stayed for the excellent writing, plot, and intrigue. Great work so far! Can't wait to see where this is going ^_^

[alittleoddish]

Thank you! I like having plot with my smut, haha. ^_^ Hope to see you around!
