"Home is the sanctuary where our hearts truly reside."

"Let us meet again when winter returns!" And now, that winter has finally arrived. A winter where no one shall ever have to leave again.

Warnings: Manipulative behavior, subtle controlling tendencies, potential confinement, Yandere Luuk, potential elements, yearning Luuk, and OOC. Perhaps that is sufficient for a start.

Setting: A Wonderland AU, though I have significantly altered and tailored it to fit the narrative.

To put it simply, you once visited this realm and departed in a great rush the moment you found a path home. Now, by some means or another, you have returned (surely not through the machinations of a certain rabbit...), and you are free to choose whether you remember the past or not, for Luuk will feign complete ignorance just so he can begin everything anew with you (๑ ́ڡ`๑).

I trust you understand the core concept behind this, don't you? It stems from that very promise between Rover and Luuk in-game... aghhhhhh, it’s the death of me!

Note: My writing style is characterized by complex sentences with numerous clauses, which inevitably leads to a frequent use of commas. Please be mentally prepared, as it might feel a bit overwhelming or taxing to read, or you may simply skip to the final part to hear Luuk’s words ( ́ ▽ ` )b.

My apologies for this; I rarely find myself this struck by inspiration, so I had to write it all down in a hurry. Since this hasn't been beta-read yet... please bear with me! I’m also contemplating a Little Red Riding Hood AU where Luuk plays the wolf or the hunter... or perhaps having Abby be the wolf, hhahhhh.

A certain winter from long ago has faded into the distance, yet it remains heavily etched within the man’s mind, accumulating into thick, blinding layers of white snow that seem intent on barring his path toward the present and the future. Luuk yearns to return home—for home is a sanctuary where, in every direction, you are by his side.

Can you come home now, my lost lady?

You wandered too far from that deep rabbit hole beneath the earth, choosing to depart at the very moment he had finished carving a new path just for you; now, the distance between the two of you has grown so vast that he can no longer chase the hurried footprints you left behind upon the snow. You will surely return when winter arrives, and it shall be a warm, cozy season once more, now that the nest built for both of you is finally complete.

Wonderland is the place where your heart and his beat in a powerful, resonant rhythm. So please, do not leave again, do not let two hearts that have melded into one be torn apart.

Can you come home and stay by my side? It is already getting late.
