Summary
Eight year old Harry Potter was trudging through another day when something wonderful and terrifying occurs. Lost in a strange and mad word, he's taken to meet a man called Hatter who runs a strange sort of Tea Shop and has shockingly similar looking hair to his own. A found family story in a dystopian Wonderland governed by a cruel Queen until a new Alice threatens her rule.
Excerpt:
"Well I don't think we've been properly introduced you and I," Hatter commented, "Name's Hatter, David Hatter if you like, but everyone just calls me Hatter."While not normally one for questions, Harry couldn’t help but feel at ease in the man’s presence so he softly asked with a small smile of his own, "Is it because you wear a hat?"
Hatter chuckled and grabbed his hat off his head. He twirled it in his hands a few times before looking at Harry and flicking it up in the air. It flew up a foot or two before it somehow turned around and landed neatly back on his head. "Sometimes it is yeah," Hatter finally replied, "but how about you, what's your name?"
"Harry," he quickly answered before breaking out into a yawn, "Harry Potter."
Hatter grinned, "Is that because you pot things?"

Summary
War is coming to the Checkerboard Kingdom but traditions continue as one boy seeks to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and become a Knight. The story of Charlie's brief stint as a squire, and the end of a golden age in Wonderland history. Rating is for references of violence and death.
While this is a stand alone piece, it also serves as my personal backstory and world building for Charlie in my 'Madness Runs in the Family' crossover series. You do not have to read that to read this.

Summary
A collection of extra scenes/one shots for 'Tumbling into Madness' and 'Curiouser and Curiouser' that don't fit well within the story's flow, but do allow more in depth character development and are canon to my series. You will need to read at least Tumbling into Madness first as most take place during it, or after.
This one shot collection is not in any real order, timeline wise, so here's an ordering for it if you want to head it thusly:
Ch 2, 9, & 11 (All take place during Tumbling ch4)
Ch 1 (Takes place during Tumbling ch10)
Ch 7 (Takes place during Tumbling ch 15)
Ch 4, 5, 6 & 8 (Takes place after Tumbling or are recommended to read anytime after Tumbling ch 15)
Ch 3 (Contains spoilers for Curiouser ch 2)
Ch 10 (Takes place during Curiouser ch 11)Series

Summary
After a very fun and enjoyable date night. Alice decides to trust her heart and invites Hatter up to her apartment.
Part of my series but can be read as a stand alone/no context.
------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt:
Alice stared at his mouth before looking back up at his eyes and she licked her lips. “Can I get you anything?”“Depends,” he said as he watched his hand make a path from her dress strap, to her bare shoulder and down her arm before looking back up at her. “What’s on offer?”
Me, her mind immediately supplied, but she swallowed that response. Alice suddenly didn’t want to be the one to break this tension. It felt like letting him win this little dance he’d started by making her fold first, and she wasn’t one to back down from a challenge. The space between them felt like a coil that she wanted to keep winding and winding until it snapped.

Summary
Alice wants to show Hatter her appreciation for his past choices with a return of the same sort of affection he's always giving her. It's a dangerous game to play on the couch of his flat when the others are just in their bedrooms though, so she tells him he'll have to keep oh so quiet during it.
Excerpt:
She leaned in close to his ear, lips brushing against it, and whispered, “Maybe I want to see if I feel the same way about using my mouth and hands on you.”
He gasped and his breathing notched up as he pictured just that. A needy whine escaped him at the imagined sensations, but she was quick to swallow up the sound. Kissing him and drawing it out before frustratingly moving away again. Her mischievous smirk when he went to vocalize his protests of her leaving sent a new thrill straight through him and added to the building tension. He loved everything that look always led to, even if it typically involved a laugh at his expense as well.
“Though you’ll have to keep quiet,” she said and gave him a quick kiss before whispering against his lips, “Think you can do that?”
HP fandom tagged due to brief mentions/appearance of Harry.
