One Promise Kept: Book 5
a fan fiction by Manniness
Alice in Wonderland (2010 film version)

Warnings: Angst, Character Death, Sexual Situations, Violence, Mild Language
Promises: A happy ending... after much angst and adventure, of course! (^__^)
Notes: This plot bunny is courtesy of wanderamaranth and her drabble, Ends. After she shared it with me, I Knew what I had to write next. Also, once again, my amazing husband was instrumental in keeping this plot (and Unnecessary Angst) from running away with me.

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.)

*A fan recorded a video of this song being played from an iPod. Serious dedication. And if this song were any less awesome, I wouldn't recommend the video. But the song is awesome, so listen to it. Seriously.
**Here is a version of "Lighthouse" with an acoustic guitar (I like the piano version above better but the lyrics are much easier to hear in this recording).
