Characters: Alice/Hatter, Jack/Duchess, Charlie
Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Syfy's Alice.
Summary: "But this is starting to sound like a quest! Quests are such a pain, Alice, they really are. All horseback and food rations and traveling in groups and no truly hot tea, with significantly less sex against trees.”
Author's Notes: I’d like to thank my guest writer for the opening of this chapter,
abscondinabox, who had these first 350 words sitting on her computer collecting dust. When I discovered them, I was agog and aghast that she had no clear intention of continuing the idea, and she offered to let me adopt it. ^_^ So here it is, slightly touched up to match my style so you wouldn’t notice when I took over the narrative, but pretty much in its full glory.
Thanks so much for all of you who have given me such lovely feedback! ^_^ Again, thanks so much to my GORGEOUS betas,
zombres and
randombattlecry! They are simply fantastic, they always keep me on my toes to provide the highest quality of writing I can. Also, thanks to my amazing Official Fandom Soundboard
abscondinabox, with whom I have spent many-a-Skype session discussing the ins and outs of characters and plot, and without whom this story would undoubtedly be a disaster.
