swim through the fires to stay in this world

I’m doing a selected Once Upon A Time In Wonderland re-watch (i.e. skipping around to interesting bits) with an eye towards Will and his interactions with Alice and Anastasia to clarify my ideas about what Will’s like in bed.

So, if you have any opinions about that, share.

Also, skipping over to a different pairing, I love Cyrus' expression the first time he sees Alice.

This post had made me DESPERATELY craving some good arranged marriage books/fanfic.

AND SPEAKING OF TRASHY ROMANCE, I just sneakily snagged a free book today. The SOLD moment came when it said something about the heroine being into her brother (who was raised apart from her) and there's something about a cosmetics company and being forced to work together? Further bulletins as events warrant.

In other smutty news, I just banged out 1,000 words of Knave/Alice. It was a madcap race to get through the plot threads I had to snip to facilitate the banging.

Can be please stop comparing every ship in the world to a Captain-Hook (OUAT) ship?

Please. My delicate sensibilities can't handle it.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I would like to start off the new year by posting some smutty Alice/Will (Once Upon A Time In Wonderland) fanfic. Any suggestions for prompts?

Here are some random thoughts about the aired episodes of Once Upon A Time In Wonderland:
( #forever shipping not!canon but basically!canon #you know how it is #it's brutal #that's how it is #especially when there isn't fanfic to soften the blow #of not having on-screen kisses )

I'm sure you all remember how I quit watching Once Upon A Time in disgust at the end of the second season, which is why me recommending the spin off Once Upon A Time In Wonderland is going to sound very weird... but I'm recommending it.

I'm going to give you the only slightly spoilery (like, not past the pilot) recommendation and if you want more, just check out my OUAT-tag (which is super spoilery).

Okay, basically Alice (of Wonderland fame) breaks out of a Victorian mental asylum with the help of the disreputable Knave of Hearts and goes on a quest to save her genie fiancé. Here's why you want to watch it:

• like the first season of Once, ladies, ladies, ladies. Lady heroes, lady villains, etc. Besides the whole show being about Alice rescuing her fiancé, Alice saves the Knave far more often than the Knave saves her.


• Speaking of the Knave and Alice, oh, how I ship them. Like, Alice's canon love interest is very hot and he knows the way to a girl's heart (adventuring and swordplay) but the Knave does things like look at her like this and lean against the wall while she kicks ass (I couldn't find a good gif, sorry, but this shows his 'Alice is kicking ass' smirk) and in general, is just epically invested in Alice's emotional wellbeing. Did I mention the part where Alice LITERALLY RETURNED THE KNAVE'S HEART TO HIM? I haven't found out the details about how, but I'm sure it's going to be amazing.


• PLUS, THIS SHOW'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED. It was originally intended as a thirteen episode miniseries and while there were some talks about extending it, the ratings have been pretty bad, so you go into this knowing exactly how much time you are investing.
