Realized I haven't mentioned what happened to the White Rabbit one shot that I wrote a few months ago. I switched a lot of concepts around and am happy to introduce another story concept of mine, iWonder!!
It is a sci-fi rough retelling of Alice In Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass.
I won't be posting it here bc I may publish it eventually, but here's some info on it!

Setting:

The year is around 2150. The setting is a super-city called Wonderland which was built off of the dying city of London.
There are four levels to Wonderland, extending upwards as they become wealthier.

The ground level, Clubs, is the poorest, and with the most crime as everyone hates the higher ups. It's directly in the rubble of London, and they plan to blow up Big Ben as a statement. Most people there immigrated from another country in search of a better life, only to be oppressed and impoverished. Robots and cyborgs are primarily seen as government spies here and are often banned from public places.

The second tier of Wonderland is Spades, commonwealth. The people there can afford cosmetic gene alterations, sometimes robots, but not cyborgs (Robots with human brains instead of AI). Most people there are immigrants or second generation immigrants. They are a working class that is significantly more respected than Clubs.

The third tier is Diamonds, with the biggest population. They're rich, and can afford all the afore mentioned things and more. Many own cyborgs who's job it is to clean their homes, stimulate romance, fight for money, or raise their kids. Diamonds is home to the military/police force base. Most people there have family history of at least a few generations in Wonderland.

And the fourth tier, with a blocked off border, is Hearts, home of the insanely rich. All of the inhabitants families bought their way into Wonderland decades ago, most have large staffs of many robots and cyborgs treated unjustly. The royal family lives and operates in hearts and often performs public torture of criminals.

Premise:

Days after the news of her parents death, Alice wakes up in an abandoned hospital just in time to see a cyborg run by, whom she attempts to apprehend. Alice trips while chasing the cyborg and falls out a window, waking up days later in the destroyed city of London, or 'Clubs'.
She is found by the General of the Wonderland militia, Duchess Cerise, and immediately adopted by her. After a falling out with her new mother months later, Alice runs away to seek out her parents killer and her past and is taken in by blind ex-assassin Cheshire and his cyborg assistant Blanche.
As Cerise searches for Alice, and Blanche and Cheshire show her the ways of the rebellion against the Queen Of Hearts, a third party joins the hunt, infamous cyborg hacker WKY, who wants Alice to join them or die.

Bio: Blanche was a young detective in Hearts until she was hit by a car after learning something she shouldn't have. She had agreed to have her brain transferred into a robotic body, but was unaware that in this new body she could be sold and used as an object. She was sold to a dysfunctional and abusive family that made her fight against other cyborgs for many years before being reassigned to help Cheshire as a 'seeing eye dog' and to make sure he stayed in line.
She is a very smart, serious, and capable person who tries to avoid violence when possible. Her greatest downfall is that she's too forgiving of  unredeemable people, and let's herself be pushed around.

Cheshire was captured and brutalized by the Queen, blinding him and scarring his mouth. He lost custody of his sisters, and now (ten years since the assassination attempt) lives with and has feelings for Blanche, the cyborg assigned to help him, the two of them have joined the rebellion against Hearts to take revenge. In general, Cheshire is a very nice and calm person, widely regarded as brotherly and warm, which extends to cyborgs, whom he sees as equals.

In order to impress him, Madd studied mechanics day and night and made hundreds of inventions of his own. He was confirmed a genius at a young age but his father hardly cared. Seeking comfort of a simpler time Madd became obsessed with early 2000's culture and still enjoys 'old' movies, music, video games. He joined the rebellion against the Queen of Hearts in his late teen years and smuggled his way into a Military Academy to train himself for it. In that military academy he met Cerise and the two fell in love before a misunderstanding broke them up and Madd was sent home. Now, he is the most infamous thief in the rebellion, but he's undoubtedly a nice person, though loud and blunt to a fault.

In military school she dated Madd, an enigmatic type of person that wasn't common in Diamonds, unbeknownst to him, they became pregnant around the time that Madd was revealed to have cheated into the school.
