Here is the code for the Alice the Amazing Spotify playlist. Be sure to check it out and lmk what your fave song is!

[A/N From January 2025: Hello all! I've added a bunch of new songs to the playlist since I first started this fic. Not all of the ones on the Spotify playlist are listed here—instead, I've just curated a select few that fit the vibes of the fic/characters best. The full Spotify playlist is quite eclectic and a little all-over-the-place...much like this fic, when you think about it.

I also did a powerpoint night with my friends last year where I described my fic using Taylor Swift songs, so if you're a Swiftie and want to check that out, the Spotify code is at the bottom. Please enjoy!]

I wanna be next up forever / So the best is always yet to come.

Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall... / and call Alice, when she gets we just small.

Alice (Vista Kicks)

Alice, look, we've got the world in our hands / Alice, how long can we live in Wonderland?

long story short (Taylor Swift)

and I fell from the pedestal, right down the rabbit hole / long story short, it was a bad time...long story short, I survived!

I Was Made For Lovin' You (KISS)

I was made for loving you, baby / you were made for loving me / and I can't get enough of you baby / can you get enough of me?

Alice (Avril Lavigne)

I'm just an animal looking for a home and / share the same space for a minute or two.

Close Behind (Noah Kahan)

So I fill my days with thinking / though I'm years from my true time / I could die tomorrow / You'd be close behind. Close behind.
