Two "Alice" short fics by song_of_mars and cynic_fic
Since both of these recs are pretty short, and I missed last week due to tons of life drama going on, I’m giving y’all both of them at once. Plus, as an added bonus, they both share a couple of things in common: a common theme of “Madness”, and in what is a truly remarkable coincidence for this fandom, they both take place at the end of Part 1 (not Part 2). The first one is a cute, fluff/humor piece, and the second one is much more dramatic.
Title: Symptoms of Madness
Author: song_of_mars
Rating: G
Fandom: Alice (Syfy)
Pairing: Alice/Hatter
Category/genres: Missing Scene, Romance
Length: Short (1,237)
Warnings: Takes place in Pt. 1 of Alice
Author's Website / LJ name / Links: [At the author’s writing journal]
Author's Summary: An interlude set of scenes that takes place off-camera as Alice and Hatter are journeying with Charlie to the Kingdom of Knights, and while they're sitting by the fire that night. A short conversation, and Alice 'noticing' Hatter and feeling uneasy about it.
Review: This is an adorable little ficlet, and even though it’s not an “Epic Rec”, per se, the author has such a good handle on Alice’s voice that I think it merits a rec here. I am very particular about my Alice voice - sometimes I don’t even like the Alice voice I’ve written in some of my fics - but her voice in this fic really resonates well to me. She’s stubborn, independent, and with a wry sense of humor that I find hilarious and immediately connect with. Plus, her contemplation of Hatter is one that every fangirl can empathize with. XP Definitely a cute little read that’s worth a peek.

Author's Summary: In which Alice is broken.
Review: I found this piece to be very powerful, and I loved it instantly. Alice in this fic is driven mad by the Dum’s torture, and in this state she reminds me very much of River in “Firefly”. Hatter is determined to take care of her, and Charlie still sticks around as her protector. The three of them are just gorgeous together in this piece. It’s a quick read, but it’s one that leaves an impression and stays with you as you continue to read in the fandom, and I basically rec it to anyone who’s willing.
