Down the Rabbit Hole
Takes place in @panthera-tigris-venenata’s Ally of Neverland AU.
Alice was missing.
Again.
This did not necessarily mean anything, Alice’s mother and father and older sister all told themselves. Alice was a big girl now, fourteen years old. Probably she’d just gone for a walk in the woods and lost track of time, or gone to the library and forgot to leave a note, or some such. She would be back soon, and they would scold her in relief. This did not necessarily mean anything.
But she wasn’t in her bedroom, and wasn’t in the kitchen, and wasn’t anywhere in the house, and wasn’t on the grounds, and the two maids and Alice’s governess hadn’t seen her, the groundskeeper hadn’t seen her, nobody had seen her-
As much as they tried to deny it, this brought back memories of the last time Alice had been missing, seven years ago. She had been gone for three days, and had reappeared at sunrise on the fourth in the middle of the garden, near the fence, hysterical, screaming about rabbits and caterpillars and broken mirrors, her dark hair a tangled mess, her hem and sleeves stained with blood from the countless small glass shards that had cut her hands and feet.
They knew, now, what sort of realm had set its sights on their daughter. It was for this reason that the groundskeeper was under strict orders to fill in any hole dug by any animal that appeared on the grounds, whether rabbit or mole or hedgehog, and that the Liddel house was unique in all of London in that it possessed no mirrors, not even a pocket one for the master of the house to shave with.
The day after Alice had been found, every single animal on the Liddel estate had died.
Mice, squirrels, hedgehogs, even a few unlucky birds had all been found dead in the garden, on the walks, on the threshold of the house. Even Dinah the cat had not escaped; she lay at the entrance to Alice’s room, her scarlet blood staining the rug.
They had not died of illness. Every single animal had been neatly decapitated, its head lying beside it.
It had been seven years, yet Alice still flinched at the sight of her own reflection.
It had been seven years. Surely the Land of Wonder would not try to reclaim their daughter?
Alice had been gone for approximately six hours by the time the door knocker pounded weakly against the locked door. They all jumped up, frantic; Alice’s mother opened the door and gasped in horror as her younger daughter came stumbling in.
The first thought that crossed their minds was that this had indeed been a repeat of seven years ago. Alice’s face was haggard, the cloth of her dress torn. She looked like she’d been in a waking nightmare, and her feet were bare, scraped and dirty. She clutched a big package wrapped in dirty cloths tightly to her chest.
They ushered her in, embraced her, sat her down. Alice’s sister went running to get her a soothing drink, Alice’s favorite; warmed milk - not tea. Never tea - with honey.
“What happened?” Her mother asked her. “Where have you been?”
“Was it-” Her father hesitated, leaning forward.
The package moved.
Everyone inhaled sharply.
Alice presented the package to them. Not a package after all, but an infant, a mere baby; a little girl of perhaps a year old, clad in filthy rags and wrapped in an equally filthy blanket, with wisps of blonde hair and eyes closed in uneasy slumber.
“No,” Alice said quietly. “Not Wonderland.”
.
“The Isle,” her father said quietly, after. “The Isle of the Lost. You’ve really been there.”
She nodded.
“And you took...” Her mother hesitated, gesturing toward the baby. Alice didn’t know her name.
“Her mother gave her to me.” They’d given the baby a bath - she’d screamed, but Alice had held her and sang to her and the baby had calmed down enough to fall asleep again as they were dressing her in an old dress of Alice’s that her mother had found in the back of a drawer, yellowed from thirteen years of disuse. Alice’s sister was currently hunting through the kitchen for appropriate food to feed the baby when she woke.
“The Isle...of villains?” Her father asked. “With a baby?”
“There’s lot of babies there,” Alice said. “Little kids, too. Younger than me.” She took a shaky breath. “It’s not just the villains there. All the babies - the children - it’s horrible there, they have no shoes, they’re all so skinny, there’s no food for them - her mother, she begged me to take her away from there-” She was crying now. Her mother drew her into a hug, and Alice let her.
“I promised, Mum,” she whispered. “I promised her mother I would take care of her. We can take care of her, can’t we?”
They could take care of her. They could take care of an innocent baby. But-
“The Isle,” her mother breathed. She met her husband’s eyes; they were each thinking the same thing.
Alice squinted up at them. “What about it?”
“She’s from the Isle. There were rules, set in place when the Isle was created....”
Alice’s father nodded. “No one may exit the Isle. To assist anyone in doing so may lead to being exiled to the Isle yourself.”
His words fell like pebbles into a silent well. No one moved.
“But she’s just a baby!” Alice’s eyes widened, still a child, so young, so sure that her parents could fix everything. “We wouldn’t get in trouble just for a baby, would we?”
“We would.” He hated to say it, but someone must. “You would be sent to the Isle, Alice. All of us as well, if we try to keep her.”
“But we can’t-” Alice’s eyes were like the sky, pale blue, just before a storm darkens them. “I promised! I promised her mother, I promised!” A mother who would rather be separated from her own child forever than see her grow up in her home.
“Perhaps an orphanage, or foster care?” Alice’s mother suggested. “She would still have a good life...” Better than the Isle, went unsaid.
Alice’s father shook his head. “We’d have to explain where we got her from. There would be questions. I suppose we could leave her on the doorstep of an orphanage or something...” He didn’t want to, none of them wanted to abandon a baby at a doorstep without so much as a note, with no guarantee of her being well cared for, but it was the only option.
“No,” Alice gasped. “We can’t. I can’t. I promised I would take care of her. I have to-” She was crying again now. “You don’t understand, you didn’t see, I promised!”
She jumped up and snatched up the baby.
“Alice!” her mother cried, reaching toward her, but she was already at the door.

Sander Sides x Twisted Wonderland anyone?
I've recently picked up my hyperfixation on Sander Sides, and as the genius I am I thought of making a crossover between one of my favorite games and Sander Sides!
(Ps. My best friend helped with them so check them out too @kiraversee)
Virgil
Starting off strong with my personal favorite. So let's start off with saying he and Logan kinda grew up together because I love platonic Analogical, they're from the Shaftlands! As for the school, he attended NRC till his 3rd year! But after a HUGE fight with Janus (his second closest friend) he decided to change school and attend Noble Bell College. His previous dorm in NRC was Ignihyde, he was pretty much only friends with Ortho and saw Idia like twice in 2 years. (They met each other one night when they had both went out to get energy drinks from the vending machine, and the second time was because of Ortho dragging Idia with him to give a special gift to Virgil.)
Janus
(Offended they don't have yellow for font)
Our favorite snake boy, Janus. He grew up in Briar Valley, being a snake fae. Half of his face is covered in scales and has heterocromia, his left eye is light brown while his right one is bright yellow and snake like. He attendes NRC and is a 3rd year from Octavinelle. (He might have beef with Azul) He's not the absolute worst but he's not a saint either, tho if you ask Virgil he won't agree with me. He's pretty influential and has many 'acquaintances' in all the dorms so he's always up everybody's business. (Azul is impressed)
Remus
The og rat king! Twin brother and son of the famous Royal family from a kingdom not too far from Sage's Island. Childhood friend of Patton and younger twin of Roman, he's a menace. He's the second born which means he won't become king, but he hardly cares about royalty, he instead prefers to focus on "more important" matters like how to annoy his dorm leader. Who is Leona btw, yes Remus is in Savanaclaw, he's not a hybrid or anything of the sort but he sure is fast and athletic and he's surprisingly on par with some of the other members who *are* hybrids. (Leona was almost impressed) He's pretty well known for his constant pranks on other students and weird behavior other than the fact that he's a prince. His and Roman relationship isn't the best but not Leona and Falena level- fortunately.
Remy
Also well known as Azul's main source of income with how much money he spends on coffee at Mostro Lounge everyday. (Azul just gave him a card so he could always go to them instead of going to other cafes) He's well-known in NRC for the sole reason of him dating a RSA student, aka their sworn enemy. Also because of his powerful magic but they shouldn't be surprised as he is from Diasomnia dorm. He's a pretty chill guy and was friends with Virgil before he moved, now they hardly see/talk to each other. He's an older brother figure to a lot of people but he's hardly seen around anymore since he's a 4th year and he's working on his off campus education.
Might make a part 2 with the light sides!

no no you don’t understand, jade’s mushroom plush is a poisonous species. it’s a devious villain just like him… cause he is totally the epitome of evil… so if anything, having robert on his bed proves how malicious he is… cuddling with it shows how evil he can be
Indeed, Jade's little mushroom plushie is extremely evil, and commanding! The plushie... Named Robert... Who he keeps insisting is incredibly handsome...
If he ever shows it to you or I, I'm afraid to say he should expect laughter. Not because it's stupid or laughable to sleep with plushies, but rather, because he's trying so hard to make this plushie seem intimidating when it just- isn't. It's not scary Jade. I'm afraid you're not, in fact, a heatless creature of sadistic pain.
Jade will never admit to anyone how often he snuggles withc Robert the mushroom plushie. If you somehow manage to get in his room while he's not on guard, you might find him snuggling the plushie with a content sigh. You will then promptly be made to swear a vow of silence.
B-But you guys just don't get it, okay? Jade's mushroom plushie is the most intimidating, devious creature to ever exist. Just like him It's not cute, and neither is he. Indeed, he's so evil, cold, and cunning, leaving most humans quaking in fear... Just like Robert. They truly are a villainous duo.
