crossover_chickYup, I finally finished both sets of prompts! So you guys get a bunch of sentences focused on Victor/Alice -- this time, the specific pairing from The Forgotten Vows Verse. First, the short set of twenty I got from tumblr:
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.
And the 50 from the LJ 1-sentence comm:
Theme Set Delta
1. Air – The first thing they do when they finally leave London is take a deep breath of fresh air.
2. Apples – Apples are Victor’s absolute favorite fruit, so once they can afford it, Alice goes out and purchases a sapling for his birthday.
3. Beginning – They had a rough beginning, but they managed to get past it – a fact that makes them very, very glad.
4. Bugs – He’s obsessed with insects, and that amuses Alice even as it tells her she’ll never be able to rely on him to kill any that get into the house.
5. Coffee – After he stuns everyone by living a good half a day at double speed, the decision is made to never let Victor have coffee again.
6. Dark – Victor’s still terrified of the dark, but having Alice to hold at night makes it a little more bearable.
7. Despair – Victor sometimes has to wonder if it’s even possible for him – or Alice – to be truly well again, after all that’s happened.
8. Doors – One of Alice’s nightmares includes getting lost in the Fortress of Doors, dashing through one after the other with no way out.
9. Drink – Alcohol makes him too chatty for his own good, which is why Victor refuses to touch anything stronger than an occasional glass of wine.
10. Duty – For the longest time, Victor thought it was his duty to be the most perfect son possible for his parents – not anymore.
11. Earth – Victor digs the hole, Alice plants the vegetables, and together they work to make the garden grow.
12. End – They both quietly pray to be the one to die first, because – even if they can visit the underworld from time to time – they think the other would take losing them better.
13. Fall – “Why can’t it ever beckon me through a mirror these days?” Alice mutters to herself as she tumbles down the hole.
14. Fire – She’s so grateful that he’s willing to bundle up underneath a mountain of blankets, just so she won’t have to worry about the fire escaping the confines of the grate while they sleep.
15. Flexible – The way he stretches himself out – especially when he’s not wearing a shirt – should be a crime, Alice thinks.
16. Flying – She floats through the air with the greatest of ease, and thinks about how jealous Victor would be if he could see her now.
17. Food – Discovering that his skinny frame apparently houses a black hole stomach is just another reason for Alice to expect the unexpected around Victor.
18. Foot – Having close to a foot of height on your beloved can make things awkward sometimes.
19. Grave – Victor finds it a little strange that Alice wants to visit Emily’s grave, but Alice thinks it only right – after all, Emily did technically lead to them meeting and falling in love.
20. Green – Her eyes are the most brilliant, vibrant green Victor’s ever seen in his life.
21. Head – “Where is your head?” is a question that’s been asked a lot of both of them.
22. Hollow – What scares Alice the most about Victor’s Thirteen self is just how empty he seems inside.
23. Honor – Honor and morals are in short supply in the East End, which is why Victor finds it so important to hold onto his.
24. Hope – Just by being each other’s friend, they give each other hope that, one day, life will be better.
25. Light – When he first shows her what he’s learned from the spellbook, Alice thinks the light in Victor’s hand is outshone by the brightness of his smile.
26. Lost – Whenever she gets lost in her head, listening for his voice seems to be the best method for finding her way out.
27. Metal – It’s all brass and iron, jagged edges and broken cogs, scorching lava and smashing fists – and yet, Victor can find something to like about the Hatter’s industrial hell.
28. New – Alice is glad her first child is born on November 5th – she’d rather the day be about new beginnings than old regrets.
29. Old – Old age comes with creaking bones, failing eyesight, and so much change that it makes Victor’s head spin sometimes – but as long as he has Alice with him, he can almost enjoy it.
30. Peace – Waking up wrapped in her arms is the most peaceful way to start the day for him.
31. Poison – He dreams once that Alice is the Corpse Bride, and wakes swearing he can still taste the Wine of Ages on his lips.
32. Pretty – It doesn’t matter to him how ragged she looks in London, or how bloody she gets in Wonderland – to him, Alice is always beautiful.
33. Rain – The rain pouring down on him is cold and miserable, but Victor ignores it – he’s got to find Alice.
34. Regret – Victor may laud her as his savior, but Alice herself can’t help but regret that she didn’t figure out what was happening sooner – and thus save him from falling under Bumby’s control in the first place.
35. Roses – Alice has a complicated relationship with roses – they’re her second-favorite flower, but there’s no getting around that the Queen of Hearts loves them too.
36. Secret – They seem to each have a talent for bringing out the other’s deepest, darkest secrets.
37. Snakes – Victor would like to think he’s become a lot more adept at spotting snakes in the grass than he was before.
38. Snow – Seeing snow that doesn’t turn into grey, gooey mush in under a day is another pleasure of their new life outside Whitechapel.
39. Solid – What frustrates Alice the most is that her hallucinations insist on looking so solid, so real.
40. Spring – It’s both their favorite seasons – full of new life and new beginnings, both things they desperately want for themselves.
41. Stable – It’s only after two days in their new house that it really hits Victor – his life is normal again.
42. Strange – Going to the market, sitting in the parlor, being parents – it’s the things people would consider normal that feel strange to them now.
43. Summer – Victor wants to get married in summer because he already associates Alice with a world full of life and vigor.
44. Taboo – As might be expected, the word “hypnosis” is taboo around them for a while.
45. Ugly – Alice thinks there may be women uglier on the outside than Nell Van Dort – but on the inside?
46. War – Living through the Great War doesn’t do much for either Victor or Alice’s belief in a benevolent higher power.
47. Water – Alice correctly guessed that Victor wouldn’t like the Music Fish, but she had no idea he’d love the area in which it lived.
48. Welcome – She welcomes him to the Home simply to be polite, never guessing that he’ll turn out to be her best friend and more.
49. Winter – Winter’s an odd time for them, bringing such a mix of bittersweet memories.
50. Wood – Alice spends hours apologizing when they accidentally wander into the Forest Where Things Have No Name on one of their travels inside her mind.
Okay, yeah, there's one in there that's more or less stolen from the Secundus-verse, but I figure Alice getting all hot and bothered over Victor stretching can be a cross-universal thing. XD
Other news of the day -- Played a little Restful Springs in Sims. Another dull day at the asylum, which I've really got to figure out a way to fix. Blah. I also went ahead and gotforgotten_vows a paid, since he's getting the most use out of everybody here, so off I go to hunt for good Victor icons!
