Twenty Sentences on Victor & Alice
I picked this up on tumblr back in the day -- a user named Thanatae came up with a list of twenty sentence prompts to be used for one's OTP. Naturally, I couldn't let a chance to flesh out my then-fledgling Forgotten Vows Verse a little more slip by. So here's twenty sentences, taken from all over Victor and Alice's rather unusual life.
1. Finding Love
Houndsditch was the last place Victor or Alice had ever expected to find the love of their lives – and yet, here they were.
2. Waltz
They still enjoy dancing to that tune on the music box.
3. Kiss Without Lips
The way his fingers lightly brush her hand feels almost as good as his lips against hers.
4. Magic
Victor was thrilled when he found the ‘Glowing Orb’ spell – not only because it meant he’d never have to fear the dark again, but because it meant Alice wouldn’t have to worry about any lamps setting their home ablaze.
5. Late Night
The memory of them making up over tea and stolen biscuits his first night in Houndsditch is almost enough to justify his near-constant insomnia to Victor.
6. Marriage Proposal
Victor knows his proposal to Alice isn’t the most romantic – but on the other hand, it’s a lot more romantic than an arranged or accidental one.
7. Love at First Sight
Victor wasn’t sure if it was really “love” at first sight – but there was no denying Alice had his attention from the moment they met.
8. Making “Heart Eyes”
Judging from the comments he got from others sometimes, Victor had to wonder if his love for Alice was written all over his face.
9. Infatuation
Victor isn’t sure he’d say that what he had with Victoria and Emily was mere infatuation – but he will admit that what he has with Alice feels rather more real for having developed slower.
10. Glowing with Happiness
“The deepest, most impenetrable darkness of Wonderland would fear you now – that boy has got you shining brighter than any star,” Cheshire comments when he next sees her.
11. Body Worship/Love
He treats her – with her scarred flesh and broken mind – like a goddess.
12. Luxury
Sometimes, Victor wishes his relationship with his parents was a little better – if only so he’d have more access to their massive fortune, and thus could give Alice the true best of everything.
13. Storytelling
Their children are much more appreciative (and more polite) an audience than the children at Houndsditch.
14. Scars
His fingers are so gentle as they run over the scar on her shoulder – how in God’s name can he stand to touch it?
15. Heirloom
That old raggedy rabbit has pride of place on the shelf in their bedroom – until the day Chester spots it and reaches up, crying “Bunny!”
16. Sleeping on Someone
Alice thinks there’s no nicer pillow than Victor’s chest.
17. Family/Decisions
She looks at him, looks at the three little ones playing together peacefully (for once), and decides – one more.
18. Innocence
Alice feels so horrible that Victor had to go through all that he did – that, like her, he had to lose whatever remained of his innocence.
19. Knows Me Better Than Myself
It’s awkward, sometimes, asking Alice about the man he knows he’s supposed to be – but it’s far, far better than the alternatives.
20. Private Moment
It’s the quiet moments – where its just him and her, alone without a care in the world – that they appreciate the most.
