What's awesome about it: Do you like dark fairy tales? Ever wish that kind of aesthetic applied to other kinds of fantasy fiction? You might like Namesake!
Namesake is a webcomic about namesakes, people with the names of the protagonists of famous children's fantasy literature who go to those worlds and re-enact the stories: Dorothys go to Oz, Alices to Wonderland, etc. Each Namesake is different, but they are still bound to their story. And the people in those world remember the namesakes and their visit and adjust accordingly. (The recent backstory about Jacks who go to the world of Jack the Giant Killer is fascinating in this respect.)
... it's hard to talk more about the story without giant stories, but there's also an organization for namesakes started by Alice Liddell (and others, but Alice is clearly a major figure).
I have nominated the current Alice, who is an Alice in the Wonderland sense, but unlike most, she has several Cheshire cat lives and they count her as basically one of the family.
And also Selva, who is a witch from Oz. They're... well, not quite a couple yet, but they're both lesbians and there's been some interest and adorableness on both sides and I love them together.
(Selva is the one on the right)
I also love the art style in general (this is a chapter cover):
Where to find: Since it's a webcomic, Namesake is easy to find! It's right over here!
