Summary

In an old comic, it was revealed that Clock King and Mad Hatter were brothers. And they were close, with Clock King expressing complete disbelief and anger when his henchmen suggested Jervis might betray him.

I want to bring the idea of them being brothers and close back into the minds of the fandom. What better way than Incorrect Quotes?

Notes

Temple Fugate used to be Temple Tetch, but got married and took his wife's name. His middle name is Morris (his first name in the comic where he was Jervis' brother).

Mental issues run in their family. Jervis is obsessive and delusional, while Temple has OCD.

Chapter 1: If You Knew Time As Well As I Do

Clock King: It's been precisely two hours and sixteen minutes since I was last insulted.

 

Mad Hatter: Oh, that's good..?

 

Clock King: And two point five minutes since I was last assaulted, but we don't need to talk about that.

 

Mad Hatter: Wait, what?

 

Clock King: On with the heist! We have a schedule to keep, Jervis.

 

Mad Hatter: Wait, no, you can't just skip over that, Temple! Who hurt you?

 

Clock King: Just a mugger, I dealt with him. We are already thirty seconds behind schedule, we must-

 

Mad Hatter, stomping angrily: OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!

 

Cops, attracted by the noise: Put your hands where we can see them!

 

---later, in Arkham---

 

Edward: So, how'd you get caught?

 

Jervis, pouting: Brotherly love.

 

(Across the rec room)

 

Xavier: So, how'd you get caught?

 

Temple, fondly grumpy: Brotherly idiocy.

"Happy Hatter Noises" needs to be a fic name.

This needs to become a more important family lore and ''ship '' ! I do really like the dynamic between these two

Wacky Mad Hatter and rigid Clock King being hyper-loyal brothers is such a fun dynamic, I hope more authors end up exploring it. Glad you like the fic! 😊
