One Promise Kept: Book 4

[manniness]

a fan fiction by Manniness
Alice in Wonderland (2010 film version)
 
 
Summary: Times have changed and the next generation is coming into their own.  Alice and Tarrant step aside and take up their responsibilities in Iplam.  But the past, despite being in the past, is a shadow one can never truly escape.

Rating & Genre: M (mature audiences only) - Drama, Romance, Action 

Warnings: Violence, Sexual Situations, Mature Themes, Mild Language 

Author's Note: I realized I had a time discrepancy in the OPK, Book 3: Epilogue.  To clarify, Tarranya was 17 at the end of Book 3 and Tamial was 10.  However, in this book, Tarra is 18 and Tam is 13.  There’s a reason for Tam being two years older than he ought to be; just bear with me for a few chapters and you’ll see.  (^__~)

Disclaimer: Alice in Wonderland and its characters, storyline, setting, and other concepts are the property of Walt Disney Studios, Tim Burton, and Lewis Carroll.  Where I have created original words for the purpose of writing fan fiction, I have stated so in the Glossary of Underland posted here on this Live Journal.  No copyright infringement is intended and no compensation was given to the author for creating this work.  (I just loved the movie too much to let the end be The End.)

It is a fabulous album, isn't it? It was a lucky YouTube rec (I went there to hear "Running Clocks Move Slow" by We Were Promised Jetpacks and YouTube spat out "Little Lion Man" so many times I had to give it a listen). (^__~)

It's all about the We Were Promised Jetpacks. ;)
