It's funny how this thing got so freaking long... It's really in the short-story realm now, so I will not be posting it on ff.net as a single part one-shot. I mean... who ever heard of a one-shot that was 30-40 pages?!

Well, I'll say it like it's completely new since I know some people on this journal don't hear from me anywhere else: Richard Kuhlman/Cheshire Cat sent me a tape of AIW outtakes, from 1993, with a note on the case from Patrick Richwood/Rabbit. It was loopy cursive saying "ENJOY!". XD

You know, I haven't been writing for AIW at all, I haven't had time to watch it... This whole summer has been hectic. But the bloopers brought me back to sorta this bliss! They make an old show long gone feel like a wonderful gift that is alive as anything could ever be, and I feel so proud to be an AIW fan, and extremely lucky that someone who was there is generous enough to send me this treasure from his past.

So... today I felt ready to write the next part, and I got heavily into shipping H/H, lol. I'm worried the bloopers might've actually done the strengthening of this ship, for some reason I can't even articulate. It's not like anything overtly slashy happened in them... I don't know...

Anyway, it's weird that I'm writing most of this without really sharing. Neither Carrie, nor Rema, nor Glance have seen it (I think?) butttt... I feel really happy with it.

It was going to be a silly one-shot at first.
And it's definitely packed with jokes and pokes at the H/A shippers,
but... I think it got deeper. Because with a parody of that ship, I find myself expressing, with exaggeration of course, my feelings about what it entitles, and reminds me why I wouldn't want Hare with anyone else in my absence. ( Me whining under cut. )

Okay! *clears throat*
Here's the part.

"Oh, you might as well tell her. She pretty much suspects. In fact, we've had many conversations about it."

"I wanted to tell Alice I was really really sorry for being so forward yesterday and... maybe ask if we could just go bowling or something."

"I-I-I thought you were gay."

Hare looked down to his pudgy water-glazed tummy and hugged his knees, frowning at the clear water that had once been filled with grapefruit-scented bubbles.

"When you eat a maple bar and get it all over your face, is she gonna lick the frosting off your nose?"
