The rabbit hole.

*Squee*!! This was beautiful!!! Even though he was asleep, I loved the directness of the note. 'Kiss me.' that's all. Perfect!!! And Alice certainly doesn't disappoint with her Muchness!... and then some ^_~. Oh how fun it is to exceed expectations, hehe.

And I really enjoyed the story-line. A true twist to Sleeping Beauty, so cool!!

A prologue to something!? I'm not complaining, hehe ^_~. Good luck, and HUGS!!

Ttyl, deary!

[manniness]

Heh. Thanks! I really, really like the note, too! I had this vague idea of Alice returning via the rabbit hole and finding Tarrant waiting for her with a note attached to him like with the Pishsalver ("Drink me") and the Upelkuchen ("Eat me") and, well... things snowballed from there. (^__~)

A prologue to something!?! A PROLOGUE to something

[manniness]

Quite honestly, I have NO IDEA where Hamish came from. I just couldn't open the story without him being there. I toyed with the idea of making him a widower... but, well, it wouldn't have been unusual for him to wait until his mid-thirties to get married (I assume from Alice's familiarity with him in the movie that they are about the same age... otherwise she'd call him "Lord..." or "Mister..." wouldn't she?) so Hamish is still single. Why does he continue to pursue Alice? Again, I'm not entirely sure. If I write more on this story, that may come out.

There sadness in this story, isn't there? The fear that kept Alice from taking the initiative to find the rabbit hole, Tarrant's choosing to sleep as he waits for her, the laugh lines and crow's feet...

But... I'm kind of interested to see where a blossoming relationship between a mature Alice and Hatter could go... I adore Alice's spunk in this and I want to see a bit more of who this version of the Hatter could be so... yes, perhaps there will be a continuation. Someday.

[just_a_dram]

*clap, clap, clap* I want to see you explore this Alice and Hatter too.

No, Hamish isn't a spinster by any means. He was actually rather young for his social set in the movie to be proposing, I would say. Just seems like if he wants to be married so badly to continually be turned down, he might consider looking elsewhere.

But then, I'd love to see where you went with any of these characters!

[manniness]

Dude... I have no idea (at the moment) why Hamish keeps asking Alice to marry him. Is she "the one that got away"? Does he truly have feelings for her? Is it the money (and if so, why doesn't he just cozy up to another rich girl)? Questions, questions, questions. I suppose I could still make him a widower and his children LOVE Alice, and Hamish loves his kids and he likes Alice and... it all makes sense to him that way.

After I do a bit of ME writing these next few weeks, we'll see if this goes anywhere. I still have continuations for "On the Threshold of Christmas" floating around... and a new fic Amaranth helped me sort out the plot for... Oh, yes, much to think about when I get tired of (or stuck on) writing ME stuff. (^__~)

Buh...bbuh...

*Moment please, nosebleed*

So very delicious. I love the basic story and instructions are suitably Underlandian.

Prologue? Why, never! ^_~

[manniness]

Instructions are great, aren't they?

(^__~)

I'm glad you liked this!

[niphuria]

YES! A Sleeping Beauty! Oh, and a Sleeping Beauty he is. And the...kilt??? Yummy! Thank you for the fangirl treat. ;)

I adored every bit of this. It is a tad sad that Alice is older, but thirty-three is not old, just older, and Tarrant doesn't mind a whit. It makes me wonder, if Alice happened to age in Underland if he would always see her as "Alice" rather than Alice, if that makes any sense.

Anyway, this was incredibly sweet and hot at the same time. Hamish was a very welcome addition, tho I, too, was surprised that he wasn't married and had found some way to try to let her know that she missed out on him as a "good catch."

A Prelude??? That would definitely be to my liking!

Those two words - Kiss Me...*squee!* Lovely! Oh my, what you managed to make out of the Prompt of "Envelope." :D

[manniness]

Hey!! Thanks for fangirling!!

I am so, so happy with the Sleeping Beauty aspect of this... (There are a lot of aspects of that particular myth that I adore.) I kinda want to go into that a bit. Write me a fairytale-esque AiW fic. Something dark with heroes battling monsters, etc etc. Something cool that I couldn't do with OPK because it just wouldn't have worked.

Yeah, this may turn into my next novel!fic. But not in the near future. I have some ME writing to attend to.

Oooh, I love the "instructions", too. When I suggested this prompt it was kind of a What-the-heck moment. I wanted to throw something random out there. And then it turned around and bit me. Evil, evil plot bunnies. It doesn't matter how much you feed them...

[starlight623]

Guh.

I LOVE the twist on both the kiss to wake up theme AND the Eat Me/Drink Me. I think Kiss Me works so much better!!

So, right there in the room of doors, eh? I liked how he mentions no bed and she just doesn't care. Why would she? ;-)

And a kilt! Oh sweet mother of pearl, he's in his kilt. I.love.you.

Prologue ... um, yes please?!

[manniness]

Yup, right there in the Room of Doors. Although, I get the sense that isn't not just, y'know, RANDOM. They've been waiting to see each other again for so long and doubted it would ever happen and it's like grabbing onto your second chance with both hands and snogging it silly... which they do. And then some. (^__~)

"Kiss me" - yeah, I'm not gonna lie. I love that.

And a kilt! Oh sweet mother of pearl, he's in his kilt. I.love.you.

I know. (^__^)
