Summary
The Hatter hadn’t been able to cope with two co-existing realities, and she’d thought him weak. This third may be the thing to finally break her mind in half; like an egg cracking on the side of a prep bowl, with everything sacred to her just dribbling out all over the place.
[Part 2 of a 3-part post-curse AU that mostly ignores Season 2 developments; see the notes for details.]

This fic is gorgeous. Wonderful Christmas atmosphere, and as one of the comment says: it’s like a season 1 moment set in season 2.

Summary
I said to my group chat "I have a billion ways I imagine Swan Queen happening and I could tell you every one" and they said "Tell us all of them" and then this happened.
Not shippy rpf- this is strictly about SQ and SWEN- but occasionally draws vaguely on the rumors surrounding the cast of late.
