The Forgotten Vows Verse
Begun: 2012
Description: Victor Van Dort never expected his adventures in the Land of the Dead to eventually lead him to London's East End.
Alice Liddell never expected anyone would be able to look past her reputation as Rutledge's leading madwoman.
Neither of them expected to meet the other -- or to be plunged into a whole new adventure.
Notes: This series wasn't something I ever expected to write. I've shipped Victor Van Dort and Alice Liddell for a couple of years now, always in AU situations. I eventually thought, "Is it possible to write this couple while having them both go through their canons?" And so the idea of a story where Victor had gone through Corpse Bride and Alice through both the Alice games was born. And I probably would have written that story --
Had I not gotten the idea that Nell and William nearly sent Victor to Bumby to make him forget Emily in that world, and then gotten more interested in the world where they had. It probably didn't help that I decided to make a roleplaying version of Victor from that world first. When I finally decided to write up his story properly, I named the series after him -- The Forgotten Vows Verse.
Now -- this series was supposed to be just four stories long. But as time went on, I found myself adding more and more to it. First there were a couple of side stories. . .then an idea for a fifth part. . .and then I started to realize that I needed to flesh out certain characters, and design Wonderland weaponry for Victor, and. . .
Well. Before I knew it, I was owner of a sprawling mass of story and headcanon. I would be remiss if I didn't share all this insanity with you. So let's dive right into the Forgotten Vows Verse and see what secrets lie buried beneath the surface.
