Six Sentence Sunday: Nonestic Tales: Making Whole

Nonestic Tales: Making Whole

BookWorm's Library | Ao3

The flight of the Scarab over Shifting Sands and the Nonestic Ocean past the Isle of Yew to the kingdom of Wonderland gave Azkadellia plenty of time to think. So she sat beside the pilot, stared out the glass of the flying vehicle, and found she couldn't stop thinking about her traveling companion. Yes, that man watching the mechanics of this vehicle partly because it fascinated him but mostly because it put him on the opposite side of the compartment from her.

He would have much rather buried himself in his laboratory after their confessions to each other, but her mother had insisted he be part of this official envoy to Wonderland. A new monarchy had asked for help, and the kingdom was outside the Sorceress' sphere of influence. Azkadellia and Ambrose would make the perfect ambassadorial team. "And please, my dear Azkadellia, keep a more open mind than your sister. The Ten of Clubs said his King is unmarried."


Summary: Lovers at odds seem to end up in Wonderland, but does this realm have a way to give Azkadellia what she wants no matter how hard Ambrose objects?

Pirates of the Nonestic (BookWorm's Library | Ao3) was supposed to be a one-shot novel. Then Tin Man Crossover Fanfiction issued its first Crossover Challenge. Catyuy had asked me nicely for an Ambrose/Azkadellia-centric story eventually, when I got less busy, so there was the Tin Man half. How do they meet Wonderland and Alice and Hatter back on Earth? It didn't take me long to figure that out once I realized I could use all the worldbuilding I had done in Pirates of the Nonestic to put Wonderland on a different continent of the same planet. I hope you enjoy this story and the Nonestic Tales series.
