just out of sheer curiosity, i see ur modern verse is set in upstate ny! where in upstate new york?

wow i haven’t really thought about it ! i’d say either albany or watervliet ! watervliet is much smaller than albany ( by about 90,000 people ) so i’d probably lean more towards that , but it’s also part of albany county so . he travels a lot to other parts of new york , though , since he’s a famous hatter (: thanks for making me think about this !

✥ O P E N .

✥ ℌ ✥ The Queen was throwing a ball in honor of winning the war against her sister, and the entire kingdom had been invited into her palace to CELEBRATE. Tarrant dipped low, looking rather handsome in his kilt and fine jacket, placing his hat back on his head and smiling in the other’s direction, offering them a hand.

                      ❝ May I have this dance? ❞

✥ A L I C E .

Glimpses of light showed through her eyelids, like the sun through the trees on a summer day. But these were not tree branches and the sun, but Tarrant’s fingers giving warmth on her face. Alice let out a giggle- Tarrant had told her he had a surprise for her and thinking about it made her giddy with CURIOSITY.

With her arms stretched out, she followed his directions cautiously. Halting suddenly, she pressed her lips together in an attempt to contain her grin. What would it be? They had walked quite a bit, so it couldn’t be a new hat or dress- wait was that the sound of water she heard? When he removed his hands, Alice blinked a few times, squinting against the sudden light before she took in her surprise.

“Oh, Tararnt…”

It was the most perfect WONDERFUL surprise somebody could’ve given her. Her hands covered her mouth as her jaw dropped in wonder. It was a ship, not made for large cargo, but smaller, more able to steer and perfect.

Alice turned to Tarrant - her eyes shining with emotion - and hugged him tightly.

“THANK you.”

✥ ℌ ✥ Tarrant was so delighted by Alice’s reaction that a cheerful chuckle left him, welcoming her embrace, her warmth. He loved Alice’s smile, it filled him up with happiness and HOPE. The Hatter pulled away after a moment, keeping his hands on his friend’s shoulders as he continued to beam down at her. He was more than glad she liked it, he was ecstatic. He turned her back toward the ship, guiding her toward it without his hands on her eyes this time.

                ❝ You can name it whatever you like, it is ALL yours!                     Perhaps you’d like to take a ride around Underland? ❞

@hiightopp liked for a genderfluid starter

      “And who was that?”

      Tammy had barely gotten a good look at the – girl? girl – before she had scampered off towards the castle, no doubt in a rush to get a good seat at the coronation. He had just caught them talking as he turned a corner, but by the time he got to his brother’s side, like a wisp of smoke, the girl was gone. How curious.

      “Making new friends, are we? Instead of going to the coronation, I see. You’ll be terribly late now, I’m afraid.”

      Tammy wrapped one arm around his brother’s, making it imperceptibly clear that the ‘you’ had turned into a ‘we’. Or perhaps it always was that way. Neither of them seemed very good at being anything other than a ‘we’.

      His hair was trimmed short this morning, but he wore a pink dress, the pink dress that their mother had made especially for the occasion. Who could know that Tammy was going to be a He that day? Besides, the dress was quite beautiful, and he had no objection to wearing it. (Though he already knew there would be many objections on the matter of his hair.)

      “Though, I don’t mind being just…a bit late, do you?”

[hiightopp-blog]

✥ ℌ ✥ Tarrant jumped a bit at the words that came from his brother’s mouth, straightening his bowtie at Tammy’s accusatory tone, letting the other know that it was painfully clear that he was going to IGNORE it. He did not, however, ignore the elbow that was interlocked with his own as they finally made their way toward the castle, box containing the crown heavily in hand. Their father was going to be furious with them, he just knew it.

                ❝ You do know that father nor mother will                     be too HAPPY with us for arriving late, ❞

It wasn’t even close to a scold, he was simply stating a fact. They’d gotten in trouble more times than you could count on your fingers, it was nothing new. TAMMY AND TARRANT, attached at the hip. That’s how it was and, for all the Hatter knew, that’s how it would always be. He grinned down at the beautiful dress their mother had made, the one that draped over Tammy nicely.

                ❝ I quite enjoy what you’re wearing, though I don’t                    think I’ve seen you in a dress in SOME TIME. ❞

It rather contrasted with his own patchwork pants and mismatched shirt, but they each had a style of their own, it was hardly Tarrant’s fault.

✥ M I R A N A .

The Princess could not contain her smile. Tarrant always found a way to make her feel beautiful and loved but she had to know how he truly thought of her. As if she could not love him enough, she fell for him all over again. Letting out a soft chuckle as she snuggled against him, holding him tight. “How did I ever get so lucky?”

✥ ℌ ✥ SHE was lucky? Might Tarrant remind her that he’s a simple Hatter and she’s the Queen of Underland? Instead of voicing this aloud, he let his arm tighten around her, feeling a WARMTH grow in his chest as he did so. He could smell the lilac scent of her beautiful white hair as they got closer, a small grin on his painted lips.

                 ❝ I must say I’m luckier. I would NEVER disagree with the Queen,                     of course, but this is one battle I will NOT back down from. ❞

❛ Yes but if there were no matters than there wouldn’t be anything to matter. And if there wasn’t anything to matter then nothing would matter. And if nothing mattered then everything would be a non-matter. And if- ❜

Alice paused, shaking her head.

❛ Oh dear, i’m rambling again aren’t I- oh my! ❜

Her attention became turned to the lovely array of fabrics and such he had laid out for her. ❛ Tarrant, it has occurred to me that I don’t know the slightest bit about hatting- or what it requires. ❜

✥ ℌ ✥ Tarrant nodded and shook his head and agreed and disagreed with everything being said to him as he set out several simple utensils that Alice could use to make her very first HAT. At the sound of her doubtful words, the masterful Hatter spun to face her with an encouraging grin, placing cheerful hands on her shoulders to let her know that he BELIEVED in her.

                 ❝ It’s simply a matter of imagination! And this matter matters                     VERY much. I’m here to help you, of course, but the hat should                     be yours! It will be beautiful no matter what! ❞

✥ W E D N E S D A Y .

Such an enthusiastic welcome is rare for somebody like Wednesday. That’s not supposed to be a sad statement – it is a growing sentimentality among humanity which makes it sound so, and she’d feel that such weakness is an epidemic, detrimental to society. For her, it depends on who is delivering the welcome as to how she receives it, and luckily she doesn’t mind Tarrant. It merely comes across as another eccentricity.

                    “I didn’t think anyone really lived here.”

        She gets ushered inside his home, beginning to wonder exactly why he’s so ecstatic to see her. Does he want something? Usually that’s a reason. Suppose she’ll find out eventually what his motivations are. In the mean time, that tea sounds good – the entry into Underland always leaves her a little parched.

                  ❝ Where, exactly, did you think we Underlandians                       live if we did not live in UNDERLAND? ❞

✥ ℌ ✥ The thought was rather amusing to Tarrant, he had to admit. There was no place he could see himself living other than Underland, and he supposed he couldn’t see anyone else who lived here to live anyplace else, either. Though Wednesday looked as if she lived somewhere rather the OPPOSITE of Underland - somewhere dark and gloomy, but interesting nonetheless.

He led her to the dining room, where he poured the girl a cup of his FAMOUS chamomile tea, plopping two cubes of sugar deep into the glass and stirring before thrusting it toward her, dropping into his sit before sipping from his own teacup.

                  ❝ What might you be doing back here, my DEAR                      Wednesday? Not that I’m not absolutely                      delighted to see you - just rather CURIOUS. ❞

platonic affection meme ✥ accepting!

7 . hand kiss

 ✥ ℌ ✥ Alice, in her armor, with the Vorpal Sword at her side, looked so brave and regal that Tarrant couldn’t help but to admire her. He stepped up to their champion with a grin and a small bow, lifting her hand to his lips to leave a gentle kiss there before looking back up into her eyes.

               ❝ GOOD LUCK, Alice.                     I’m right behind you. ❞

platonic affection meme ✥ accepting!

41 . “I thought I’d never see you again” hug.

✥ ℌ ✥ It only took a moment for his family to grow back to normal size, and when they did, Tarrant’s smile grew, as well, until it was taking up his entire, pale face. His mother, his father, all of his siblings, he was so happy to see all of them, but the one person he ran to first was his brother TAMMY. They’d done everything together before the Queen had stolen them away. The Hatter barely had an idea as to how to get along without the other, but now that they were back together, they were UNSTOPPABLE. Tarrant wrapped his arms around Tammy, eyes watering in joy.

                 ❝ I thought I had lost you                       forever! Never leave me again. ❞
