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 3: We Mustn't Be Late

I can't decide if Jervis would connect his brother to Time or the White Rabbit.

Temple: I do not see why you insist on my meeting your friends, Jervis.

Jervis: My friends are important to me, Temple. Besides, they're excited to meet you!

Temple: You know I dislike people. They are noisy, and messy, and-

Jervis: My friends will be on their best behavior, I promise. -opens door to hideout-

People screaming and running, paint sprayed everywhere, remnants of a food fight are visible, blinking lights, feral animals, general Rogue things

Temple, having an OCD breakdown: -emits high pitch whine-

Jervis: Unfortunately, I forgot that this is their best behavior. -tries to comfort his brother-

Joker, covered in paint and food and who-knows-what-else: Hey, yer Tetchy's brother, right? -claps Temple on the arm- Nice ta meet ya!

**Jervis, eyes wide**: Oh no-

Temple: -stares at Joker's hand for five seconds- AAAAAH! -starts hitting Joker with his briefcase-

Jervis: ...Well, this went better than I thought it would.

"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! 😊
