A Swen’s Guide to the Into the Story-Verse Alternate Realities

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the Christmas Eve Eve and that means it’s time for the last entry of our guide where we explore the 6 alternative realities presented in the latest addition to the Swan-Mills Saga by the ever so marvellous @swanqueeneverafter​

This time we’re gonna explore...

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

Code name: Zeta Reality

First appearance: chapter 40

Set: our world the duration of Pilot (s01e01) but as altered by Emma’s journey to the past in the Once & Future Queen

Fixed by: a true love’s kiss between Emma and Regina in chapter 47

Unfinished business: not finishing what they started way back when in chapter 1 of the Story of Us

Zeta Reality presents us with a Groundhog Day AU we (read: I) never knew I needed. And it actually might be my personal favourite alternate reality.

The storyline follows Regina, newly with all her memories, trapped in a Groundhog Day kind of situation where she has to relive the day she met Emma for the first time, only this time it’s more heartbreaking for her because the Emma arriving with Henry from Boston every evening is actually her time travelling wife who disappears after sharing a true love’s kiss with Regina.

Emma and Regina aren’t the only couple we’re all rooting for (pun intended) as Root and Shaw finally get together in this reality too.

So let’s look at Regina’s attempts at breaking the cycle.

Attempt No. 1

As with every endlessly repeating cycle, the first one or two repeats the protagonist doesn’t usually immediately assume that they’re stuck in a loop. The same naturally happens to Regina too, so the first repeat can be hardly even counted as an attempt at breaking the cycle.

Attempt No. 2

Regina goes to Sister Astrid/Nova/Root to ask for help, as she understands that Root has been helping her and Emma through the realities. Root also tells her that she has just the one day that keeps repeating itself to make Emma fall in love with her.

And so Regina and Root don’t waste any time and go to Boston, where Emma tries to steal a dress in a store and gets caught by Walsh. Fortunately, Regina shows up just in time to save the day, however, she lets herself slip when Emma asks her whether she’s married. Emma walks away and Regina, sad, returns home.

Attempt No. 3

Determined to redo her last attempt at wooing Emma, Regina (with Root) once again travels to Boston. 

This time, Regina preventively knocks Walsh out and tries the “Indecent Proposal” approach, but when that does not work on Emma at all, she eventually opts for telling Emma how she sees her and that she reminds her of her best friend.

Attempt No. 4

Any further development in their romance is, however, prevented by Walsh who called for backup in the form of the police. Seeing Emma and Regina get arrested, Root and Shaw try to break them free - unsuccessfully.

This time, Regina approaches the issue at hand like the nerd she is - by gathering information. After all, it’s not an easy task to make someone fall in love with you in a day, even if the person IS your true love.

So, Regina asks Ingrid how to approach Emma in this phase of her life - her walls as high as they can be. Then she tells Rumple where he can find Neal AND Belle (kinda sweet of her).

The last person Regina asks for intel is Emma herself - only the “future” version of her, who shares a TLK with Regina every evening. “Future” Emma not only gives Regina advice but also takes her to the “past” Emma’s apartment where they... make most of the time they’ve got before Henry arrives. Then the whole family travels back to Storybrooke.

 Attempt No. 5

Regina’s happy bubble about finally knowing how to approach Emma is burst by Rumple who warns her she’s running out of time and attempts.

In her last attempt, Regina changes the tactic and lets Emma come to her instead (well, as much as that counts when Regina needs to go to Boston ;)), and so Emma saves her from getting run over by a car, then being the knight in the shining armour even takes Regina to a doctor.

Regina then offers to make Emma believe in magic, and though sceptical, Emma agrees. Their first stop is a planetarium, where Emma starts having flashbacks of her other selves’ memories also finds the magic compass in her pocket, but decides it doesn’t mean anything.

Emma in turn takes Regina to a karaoke bar, where Regina’s singing triggers another wave of flashbacks leading to a fiery make-out session which is, however, broken by Emma running away, scared of what might be - the SPARKS, these two could start a fire everywhere BUT Emma’s walls are still much too high for Regina to take them down in just a couple of hours. So, Regina leaves, heartbroken but knowing she couldn’t do much more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unexpectedly, to say the least, Emma comes home to Regina, having remembered everything thanks to a copy of the Storybook her future self left in her apartment, and the two of them fix the last reality in the most perfect way possible - by making love by the fireplace in Regina’s study.

Alright everyone, this has been so much fun! Hope you’ve all enjoyed Into the Story-Verse as much as we did, thank you once again to @swanqueeneverafter​.

Happy Holidays! ❤

Once Upon a Time drives me fucking insane because WHY is there so much wasted potential!!!! Jefferson just disappeared?? They turned August into a child and we like never see him again THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN HENRY A FRIEND LIKE HE ONLY HANGS OUT WITH HIS GRANDPARENTS AND HIS THERAPIST

Actually speaking of his therapist the POTENTIAL they had with Regina and Archie?? Like they were kinda cute and now they don’t even talk to each other like even as friends or anything?? WHY

AND GRAHAM he deserved sooo much better (no not his relationship with Regina pls never speak about that) RUBY TOO CAUSE WHY DID THEY DO HER LIKE THAT

But you’re telling me that 3 people in this town knew everything and they never talked to each other?? Why did Gold and Jefferson never talk in Storybrooke?? Like Rumple was literally the one to introduce him to Regina in the first place

AND WHEN GRAHAM WAS REMEMBERING WHY DIDNT JEFFERSON GET HIM? GRAHAM WAS LITERALLY RUNNING AROUND THE WOODS CHASING A MAGICAL WOLF like if Jefferson had gotten him on his side Emma might have been less inclined to think he was a psychopath

Same with August!! If he had literally talked to either of them things could have been fixed so much faster or they at least would know they’re not fucking crazy like make a little “in the know” club it could’ve been fun

ONCE UPON A TIME REWATCH: 5.23, AN UNTOLD STORY It's a tad ironic of a name, no? Given that this land is seemingly filled with stories.

[randomgurl2326]

Henry Mills x reader

Summary: You and Henry find which fairy tale character you are, and try to convince that fairy tales are real and Happily Ever Afters do exist.

You and Henry are currently in the library. “Y/N I think I finally figured out who you are!” Henry exclaimed. You stare at him, gawking really, and ask him, “who?”

“I believe that you are The Huntress, she helped Hercules in his Twelve Labor’s, was known to wield a dagger, legend says her mother is Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and her father was Rumpelstiltskin!” Henry explained to his best friend. “Okay, that makes sense, but my mother and father, if you haven’t realized, don’t have the greatest relationship, and my fathers name is Mr.Gold, never once been said as Rumplestiltskin,” Y/N rebuttals.

“I know, but you have to trust me on this, your my best friend, and I also know my mom’s and everyone in this town are fairy tale characters. Please, just trust me,” Henry pleads. Y/N looks around the library and sighs. “Okay, I believe you. Meet at the docks tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. sharp, it’s getting late and I need to help my dad with the shop.” Y/N kisses Henry’s cheek at goes home.

~at Mr. Golds pawn shop~

“Dad!” Y/N exclaims, “I’m here.” Mr. Gold comes out from under the desk and said, “Ah, Y/N there you are, come help me with this.” Y/N moves to the desk and helps him with a package and asks if she could help with anything. “No, thank you though. But, how about you go get dinner started I’ll be in there in half an hour, after I close up shop,” Gold says to his pride and joy, his daughter.

“Okay, dad,” but Y/N hesitates to go up the stair case to there apartment and asks, “do you think magic and fairy tales exist?” Gold looks at his daughter and chuckles, “I think somewhere, somehow there is magic and a fairy world. Maybe, just maybe we are all fairy tale characters. But that’s just a thought, now go up stairs.” Y/N sighs and says, “okay.” Little did Y/N know her dad was keeping something from her that him and only one other person knew of…

To be continued…

OUAT Family Tree (spiderweb)

(Season 5/6 spoilers !!)

Okay okay, hear me out.

All the Dark Ones are the same, we learnt this through season 5 with Hook and Nimue - We also know Merlin married Nimue, who was the first Dark One.

In addition to this knowledge, we know that obviously Henry is the son of Emma and grandson of Rumplestiltskin - who were both Dark Ones. (As well as eventual step-son of Hook, who was also a Dark One)

By this, we know that since every Dark One is the same, Merlin is technically Henry’s Step-Dad AND Step-Grandfather.

My job here is done. Have this crisis.

A Swen’s Guide to the Into the Story-Verse Alternate Realities

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome to another entry of our guide where we explore the 6 alternative realities presented in the latest addition to the Swan-Mills Saga by the ever so marvellous @swanqueeneverafter​

Today we'll take a look at the second to last reality, and that is...

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! plotlines below the cut

Code name: Epsilon Reality

First appearance: chapter 26

Set: our world/the land without magic, unknown time period (presumably present/parallel to the main timeline)

Fixed by: a true love’s kiss between Emma and Regina in chapter 39

Epsilon Reality presents the toughest nut to crack when it comes to getting Emma and Regina together. Thank goodness Root and Shaw are there to aid them.

The storyline follows Regina Mills, a spoiled daughter of wealthy parents - Cora having her long fingers dipped nearly everywhere. For someone who has everything, Regina sure as hell isn’t having the time of her life, as she’s forced into proposing to her “girlfriend” Cruella by Cora.

Enter Emma Swan, a janitor employed in one of Cora's company’s buildings and an aspiring novelist. Emma’s world is turned upside down when her manager fires her, her girlfriend, Ruby, tells her she is leaving her AND she’s also getting evicted from her apartment, all in the course of 24 hours.

Emma storms into Cora’s office with a gun to demand her job and life back. Since Regina is also in the office at the moment, Emma takes her on as hostage. Regina is not the easiest hostage to work with, to say the least. The couple soon enough finds themselves in an abandoned cabin in the woods.

After a visit from a nosey neighbour - during which Regina saves their asses with a brilliantly meta cover story - and a hundred failed attempts at ransom calls to Cora, Emma and Regina go to a local bar and give the patrons a show to remember, with a grand finale - their first kiss (and needless to say, it doesn’t end there).

Meanwhile, Root and Shaw get themselves hired as killers for hire by Cora, so they can keep an eye on SQ. When Emma and Regina arrive to pick up the required ransom money the next day though, things don’t go according to plan, when Root and Shaw try to put SQ through “jeopardy” so that their feelings for one another come to the surface. However, since both, Emma and Regina, are stubborn asses, the jeopardy doesn’t make them confess anything.

On the contrary, Regina now bold from her experience decides to rob a bank with a gun stolen from Shoot. The robbery goes surprisingly smoothly (if you don’t count Regina holding Emma at a gunpoint) until a security guard shoots at them - Emma taking the bullet in the thigh. When Emma comes to, she finds herself in Cruella’s house, and Regina and Cruella are much too cosy with one another for her liking. She and Regina leave Cruella’s place, however they fight on their way away and part ways.

To get them back together, Shaw writes a love poem in Emma's handwriting and sends it to Regina, who doesn’t waste any time to come to a diner where Emma started working and tell Emma that she has won her heart with the poem. Sadly, Emma being an idiot tells Regina she didn’t write the poem. Brokenhearted Regina leaves the diner only to be kidnapped by Cora and Cruella.

Cora also arranges an electroshock therapy for Regina, which results in the seeming taming of the woman, but in actual fact brings Regina back the memories of her “other self”. Nevertheless, Regina agrees to go through with the wedding.

Henry Sr gets his space to shine in this reality as it is he who actively searches for Emma and convinces her to crash the wedding, which she does in a spectacular fashion with the help of Root and Shaw. Regina, now with all her memories, and Emma get married and share a true love’s kiss just as they jump on a train to their happily ever after.

How am I supposed to cope WITH THIS?!!!!!

GOLD DEAD? NO I FORBID YOU

And apparently that's not enough, Emma and Henry have to lose their memories of the people of Storybrook

Oh and also Hook shows up A YEAR LATER, and surprise surprise, the True Love's Kiss™ didn't work out. Thanks a lot for crushing my feelings so thoroughly in only 10 minutes, that must set a record or something

Princess Red Thief

Part 2

Tag list - just ask to be added @mystrey101 @melvia-ito @kmc1989 @tallrock35

Peaking my head through the treeline I saw the large castle in front of me. I ran straight for the nearest window reaching inside my cloak drawing a sword I stole from the soldiers armor outside my chambers. Swinging it against the glass it shattered when I ducked my head so it didn't get in my eyes. Climbing through the window I dropped down on my knees inside the castle. "Okay, now where's that dagger?"

Heading over to the cabinets filled with objects I began rummaging around for the specific blade in question. I started throwing books and other things on the ground until one of the globs shattered onto the floor and a voice called out behind me. "Looking for something specific are you, dearie?"

"Show yourself, beast." I draw the sword I used on the window holding it out in front of myself for defense.

A Purple cloud of smoke appeared in front of me. "Here I am, dearie." The figure in front of me had curly brown hair and scaly skin. He was dressed in leather and snake skins.

"What are you? Are you the one they call Rumple...Rumplestiltskin?" I questioned tightening my grip on the blade handle.

The figure giggles performing an over the rope bow. "Indeed I am Rumplestilskin. Now who are you and why so foolish to try and steal from the Dark One?"

"My name is Everly. My parents are Princess Abigail and Prince Frederick." I explained to him moving towards the long table that was in the center of the room.

The dark one clicked his tongue putting his fingers together. "Ah yes I recognize the princess's name. She and King George's son are supposed to wed through a deal I help arrange. But that doesn't explain why you've tried to steal from me."

"I am here because I am a threat to my kingdom." Placing my freehand on the table my palm turned red and I could feel the magic running through my fingertips. The cabinet behind me that had seen through glass suddenly shattered into a million pieces at my feet. "I have an uncontrollable amount of power even though neither of my parents were born with magic."

He nodded, waving his fingers at me. "And you needed my dagger to force me to help you control it."

"I do apologize, Rumplestilskin. I wouldn't dare steal from someone who is declared so powerful if I was not so desperate for a solution to this. I wish to help my mother free my father from his golden prison but I can't do that if this ability or curse isn't kept at bay."

"Magic is not always a curse, Red Thief." He stepped closer to me snapping his fingers and a silver dagger appeared in his grasp. He showed me that his name was engraved on the blade. "I will help you if you choose to embrace your power."

I fired back knowing the rumors that members across kingdoms had spread about him. He used only dark magic and was notorious for making deals with the most desperate types of people. "What do you want in return from me? I know you always want something back for a price."

"I'll enchant your cloak given that I do rather like the color red on you. Once it is enchanted you and I will be connected consciously. You will help me with my deals and the customers that are connected with them."

"What do you mean like if someone breaks a deal with you you'll make me kill them?" I questioned hearing the darkness in his voice.

Rumplestilskin smirked. "I'll decide what fate I wish to bestow on them. Now do you accept my offer or not?"

"I don't know if I can go through with this, Dark One. Ahhh!" I screamed bumping into one of the curtain covered windows seeing my palm turn red again but this time the curtain caught on fire.

Rumple snickers at me. "It appears you don't have any other option here, Red Thief."

"My name is Everly." I corrected him even though I probably shouldn't since he could turn me into a bug and kill me easily if he so wished.

He stepped closer where I shifted the hood of my cloak since it was blocking my view. Our eyes met and I could see he had deep brown eyes. "So long as you work for me I can call you whatever I wish. Unless you think you can find help through someone else."

"I suppose I will. So I'll take your deal." Extending my hand I paused unsure if I would hurt him if I touched him.

He grasps my small hand in his larger one. "We have a deal, Red Thief."

Resting my chin in the palm of my hand I kept scanning my eyes over the paperwork that was in front of me. I had been doing the storage inventory for the pawnshop for as long as I could remember. In my opinion every object had a story that needed to be told rather than just sitting in the dusty old store. But that wasn't what my boss believed. He thinks there's a price of money for everything. "Let's see the unicorn chandelier, tea set and red cloak are all accounted for. Wait red cloak, I didn't see that here."

"It has to be here. It has to be here. If it isn't he will dock my pay." I frantically began searching around every cabinet in the shop not finding the piece of clothing anywhere.

The store bell rang making me shriek running back to my desk in the back room trying to play it cool. The curtain got pushed open and Mr. Gold stepped inside the room. "How has the inventory gone tonight?"

"Uh, pretty good. How was your walk?" I asked him tapping my fingers on the desk nervously, hoping he didn't notice.

His brown, almost chocolate eyes focused on my gaze. "You seem nervous, Eve. Any particular reason why?"

"No reason. Just wishing to be done with work for the evening, sir." I lied to him.

He sent me a half smile revealing a bag from behind his back in his other hand that wasn't holding onto the cane he used to walk with since he had a limp. "It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you realized this was missing?" He drew something from the bag and I gasped seeing a red cloak fall down while he held it up in front of me.

"I....I....um. Sir, I am sorry. I thought I had accounted for everything. I don't know how it ever left the shop." I began panicking, running my fingers through my hair that I had left loosely.

Mr. Gold chuckles breaking the intense silence that I was feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Calm down, lass. I saw that it was dirty so I took it to the cleaners. Figured it should look in better shape before I gave it to you."

"Oh god that's a relief." Putting a hand over my forehead I sighed in relief. "Wait a minute. Give it to me, why would you do that?"

Gold moved forward offering me his freehand after he laid it on my desk briefly. Putting my hand in his I allowed him to help me get to my feet. "I saw that it was your size from the looks of it one day. And no one in this town has claimed it so I thought it shouldn't go to waste. May I?" He gestured holding it up and opened it in his hands.

"Sure...thank you this wasn't really necessary." I turned around putting my back to his front feeling him place the fabric on my shoulders.

Gold smiled when I spun around so he could clasp the front pins together. "Perfect fit, dear. Just like I had thought. Now don't you worry about paying me for it. It's on the house."

"Thank you, sir." I smiled looking up to meet his gaze since he was slightly taller than me.

He waved a finger in my face grabbing a hold of his cane prepared to leave to collect the town's rent. "I told you to either call me Adam or just Gold. Now come, we have money to collect."

"Understand, Gold." I nodded wearing the red cloak since it was quite cold outside. I followed after my boss and we drove out to our stops finding leaving the inn as our final one for the evening.

Granny, the owner of the inn, spoke as we walked up the wooden stairs. "Now, what's the name?"

Opening the door, Gold and I came face to face with a blonde woman wearing a bright red jacket that I had never seen before in this town. Meaning she must be someone new which hadn't happened for 28 years if I had done my math correctly. The woman spoke her name, giving me a name to go with the new face. "Swan. Emma Swan."

Gold responds to her squeezing my hand in his and I could have sworn I heard him say something else but in a completely different voice. "Emma. What a lovely name....Red Thief."

"Did you hear someone say Red Thief?" Looking at my boss I raised a brow at him confusedly swearing that I had heard something.

He shrugged his shoulders not saying anything yet I saw some light in his eyes where he had recognized something in this room but just wasn't going to share it with me. He shifted his gaze over to the elderly woman. Granny passes Mr. Gold a roll of bills. "It's all here."

"Yes, yes, of course it is, dear. Thank you. You enjoy your stay...Emma." Gold put it away in his suit pocket touching the door handle, opening it once more calling out to me. "Eve?"

"I'm coming, sorry." I paused standing behind the blonde woman while I ran my freehand over the red fabric that I was holding on my other arm feeling like I had seen it before.

Shaking my head I pulled myself from the trance that I was in following him outside being able to hear the conversation between the girls still inside. "Who's that?" Emma asked.

Ruby peaked out the window seeing me still standing on the front porch. "Mr. Gold. He owns this place."

"The inn?" Emma asked more.

Granny reached down in the drawer pulling out a key. "No, the town. So, how long will you be with us?

"A week. Just a week." She responded.

Granny handed her the key. "Welcome to Storybrooke."

"So who is the woman that is with him if you don't mind me asking?" Emma held the key in her hands heading towards the staircase to go check out her room.

Rudy closed the curtain focusing on the new women. "I don't know if this is true or not. But most people in this town have only seen her with him. She's worked for him for years. I think she was abducted by him or something."

"Rudy!" Granny snapped at her granddaughter. "What makes you think such a thing?"

The girl put a hand on her hip. "Maybe it's the fact that she doesn't talk to anyone else in this town. She's only ever seen with him or doing small jobs for him. That's just strange to me."

"I'm sorry for my granddaughters crazy theories. Enjoy your time here, Ms. Swan." Granny ended the conversation before things went further. Emma went up the stairs and I ran down the stairs meeting Gold at his old car. We drove past the clock tower and I couldn't believe I saw the hands move.

Comments really appreciated ❤️
