Ello' there, I'm lemonswirl previously known as storkisfluffy.

I will continue to write for that series and I am very sorry for being dead, I hope this makes up for the unfinished drabble series. I will work on it, but the one I have in mind is more angsty.

Disclaimer:I only wish I possessed the talent that Lewis Carroll did.

But Nicholie and this version of Alice are my OCs.

If you want more on Nicholie/his merry friends, get in touch with my partner in crime: teamstark4eva.

If I get enough comments I will post more about them in the AIW section of FF.

Thank you so much for reading.

It was a cool winter's eve and Alice was walking out to her favorite spot. The Hatter's balcony. She shivered and pulled down her thin blue nightgown that barely went down to her knees. She came to the balcony and saw the Hatter standing there, looking into the vast expanse of the night sky.

Alice stood beside her dear friend, he was deep in thought, top hat pulled over his uneven eyes.

" Nice night, eh Alice?"

Alice jumped a bit, not expecting the Hatter to greet her, when he was so deep in thought.

Alice looked to the top of the Hatter's head, his signature top hat rested on his wild orange hair.

" Hatter?" The truth was, Alice new him by no other name, everyone called him either the Hatter or The Mad Hatter.

Hatter looked at Alice, "Yes, Hon?" He always did have a soft spot for Alice.

"Why, please tell me dear Hatter, why that hat is always on top of your head, I have never seen you without it."

Hatter sighed and looked Alice in the eyes, witch he could rarely manage, being mad and all.

" Dear Alice, could you tell me what a mad hatter is without his hat?"

Alice thought about it for awhile and couldn't come up with anything, " What?"

" Dear Alice, without his hat a hatter is just…" Hatter took his hat in his hands, and Alice, could see for the first time, plumes of wild orange hair and his uneven blue and green eyes. " Mad…"

Alice rested her head in the crook of Hatter's neck and sighed, " You know, Hatter I would fancy to know your real name."

" Hatter."

" No silly, the name you were born with." Had he really been called The Mad Hatter so long he had forgotten his real name?

Hatter made a face in mock thought, " Nicholie, Nicholie Loom Kane Tophet."

" Nice name."

Snow started falling, coating Hatter's hat in snow. Alice giggled and brushed the snow off.

" Dear Alice,"

"Yes Hatter?"

Hatter smiled unstably, " Alice, you are the best thing a mad man could have."

Alice shook her head, " You're not mad, Hatter."

Hatter placed his hat on her head, and his jacket around her, and held her close to his chest. " I may be mad, but at least I have you to fill in for my sanity."

AWWW… wadn't dat cute?

Just a bit of fluff that the plot bunny chucked my way.

Alice retains her traditional appearance, E.I blue eyes and blonde hair and pale skin.
