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.

How did a single sentence quote become this?

Jervis: My level of queer has reached 'sighing deeply whenever anything extremely heterosexual happens near me'.

Temple, staring at his phone: ...My wife just texted me that she's pregnant.

Jervis: -starts to sigh deeply-

Jervis: Wait, WHAT?

Temple: It appears I am a father.

Jervis, hopping around: I'M AN UNCLE!

Temple: Babies are the ultimate example of what I despise about humanity.

Temple: They are needy, noisy, messy, and contribute nothing.

Jervis: ...

Temple, whining: ...so why am I so happy? And terrified? Since when do those emotions coincide!?

Jervis: Actually, according to the March Hare-

Temple, not listening: Oh Kronos, I don't know the first thing about being a father, I can barely interact with adults! I-

Temple: -keeps switching between utter panic and excitedly rambling about baby names-

Jervis, whispering: I'm an uncle.

Jervis: -happy Hatter noises-

"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! 😊
