Brother

Hey everyone! This is the first part of a story I've been tinkering with for a while--a continuation of my one-shot Family. I've been reluctant to post it, as I sorta felt that 'Family' stood well enough on it's own, but...I just can't stand to leave the Hatter so miserable, and Alice so oblivious to it. So I guess this is an optional continuation of that story. 'Family' was almost exactly how I saw their relationship to 'really' be during the film--how I saw them without my Shipper glasses on. I tried to stay as true to that as possible with this.

As per what is turning into my usual for my short stories, (sigh)  I don't have a title. :{  If/when one comes to me, I'll change this post to reflect that.

Oh! And this was inspired, in part, by akainagi and the story If I Should, Before I Wake. (Even though this is nothing like that beautiful story. The alternate title for that particular work just got my twisty little brain thinking in this direction.)

Also thank you manniness  for your support for the idea of a 'Family' follow-up. I just hope it meets expectations. ;)

Summary: Alice has her own realization about her relationship with the Hatter, and how a brother truly would act.
