Opening up to the wrong person is like putting ammo in their hands.

//I promise i’m going to try to get on here more soon. I got all caught up with going to Fanexpo and now i’m transitioning into a new job so i’ve had a lot of my time sucked up. Be patient with me <3

“Fine.” With a small roll of her eyes, Mirana knew better than to pry on Jefferson’s business. However, curiosity always got the best of her she was bound to find out somehow.

“Here.” She handed him a paper bag with a grin. “I know you’ll get hungry later so I made your lunch as well. I’ll be working late at the Rabbit Hole tonight so don’t wait up.”

With a small grin, Jefferson kissed Mirana on the cheek. “You’re an absolute gem, you know that right?” It was the little things she did that always astounded him. He never went a day without proper meals and he never asked. She just did it all on her own.

“I’ll bring you back a treasure.”

Ruby took a deep breath, and wrapped her arm around Jefferson’s shoulders, “Honey, I know you think you can’t do this to yourself again. But the fact that you’re here.. and it’s weighing on your mind this much.. Is exactly the reason why you need to find out what’s going on. Once you have all the facts, then you can make this decision. But I truly believe that you won’t get turned back into that person. Even if something from your past gets brought back..”

In another world, with any other person the Hatter would have flinched at the touch. Ruby was lucky that she was who she was with how jumpy he felt right now. How he felt the urge to pick at his hands and fidget. “Would it be wrong to bring my Grace with me?” She was older now. She was better with people than he was. If anyone could ground him in such a high pressure situation, it was Grace.

It takes a surprising amount of willpower for Emma to resist asking if Jefferson has avoided involving a gun in his conversations with these new arrivals. Looking at him now though, it’s quite clear that this isn’t an easy conversation for him to have. And while putting up shields and playing up the part of indifferent asshole has always come naturally to Emma, she’s realized that helping people is…More fulfilling.

“Okay, so I’ll talk with your guests and see if I can’t get us some answers then. Do you want to hitch a ride in the bug with me? I think I still remember how to get to your place, but I wouldn’t complain about having a human GPS with me. And y’know, you’re not such bad company when you aren’t forcing me to sew – I’m really bad with a needle and thread.”

“Sounds like a plan.” He smiled softly. He had a car, in fact it was just parked down the road but, the Hatter felt like he couldn’t say no in this situation. He was already imposing on Emma for asking for her help, might as well go the full nine yards.

“It’s a practical skill you find when you’re poor as dirt and technology hasn’t been invented yet.” After speaking he realized he may have said it a little more gently. No one particularly cared whether he’d been poor or not. After all, he was currently now one of the top wealthiest residents of Storybrooke.

“Oh no, no, no. I’m not the hero type. In fact, i’m quite the opposite.”

The Queens of darkness and there descendants.

Jefferson couldn’t tell his daughter that he hadn’t approached until now because he was scared. He didn’t want her to think even more that he was a coward. “I apologize. I live through the forest, a ways away from town. Had I lived closer... Perhaps we would have been together sooner.”

@thehatneedsmagic

“you know I never stopped looking for you. In fact before the curse brought us back together, I had asked all around town. Knocking on every door- even the queen’s- I knew you wouldn’t just leave me and now I have you back.”

This kiss; the hand on her hip, gripping just shy of too tight; and those fingers entangled in her hair have all succeeded in igniting a fire beneath her skin. Emma presses more tightly to his front, raking those blunt nails down his neck and spine, before coiling an arm around his waist. “The couch.” She murmurs against his lips, not daring withdraw from him even enough to speak properly. Standing is overrated, and she would very much like to continue kissing him senseless in a more comfortable position.

“Couch... Couch is dangerous.” He mumbled. While the couch was comfortable and spacious it was also in front of windows and at the opening at his home. Despite the intense urge not to stop for even a moment, Jefferson withdrew from Emma long enough to scoop her up off her feet and hold her in his arms. “I’m taking you.. to my room.”

“Haven’t you had my life for a while now?” He challenged, brows raising as he spoke. “It’s not as if I do errands on beck and call for everyone.” In fact, he’d slowed on his business with Rumpelstiltskin in favour of helping the Queen. While Rumple gave him more fortune for his work, he liked the idea of staying alive.

"Kiss me," she ordered.

The Hatter cringed, knowing he’d most likely have to do as she said unless he wanted to face some horrid repercussion later. It wasn’t as if Regina wasn’t attractive. In fact, she was outrageously good looking. He’d just rather he kissed her when he wasn’t forced to.

He took a slow step towards her, like an animal taking the striking move to it’s prey. And when he was just a breath’s touch away from her lips he whispered “Make me.”

“Not a good one. I was busy trying to avoid the knife going in my jugular.” His gut wasn’t much better but, at least he wasn’t dead. “But, I have a wide list of enemies if that helps.”

He didn’t mean the harsh tones in his voice. He was in pain and it was triggering him to become irritated easily. It didn’t help that Doctor Whale was the most annoying person on the planet. They should have left him in his homeland so many years ago.

Right. She’s the sheriff here – the authority – and she can’t allow her feelings to cloud her judgment now, of all times. Especially when they had shared just one kiss. Just one…Very intense, passionate, unforgettable kiss. 

“Of course. I’m sorry, that was very unprofessional of me. Did you get a look at your attacker?” 

[thehatneedsmagic-blog]

“Well- I- Um- I am on a date. I didn’t expect to tell you until I got home. But- I am glad to hear you still have tea parties even without me.”

The Hatter ducked but, it was too late. He’d already been spotted by his daughter. A foolish plan to watch after what was going on. He’d known it from the start. Perhaps if he hadn’t said anything to Ruby he wouldn’t have been caught.

“And here I thought you were drinking something harder. “

“Alcohol rarely agrees with me.”

[thehatneedsmagic-blog]

“Oh.. This is a serious, serious talk.. Okay.” Ruby nodded slowly, as she walked around the counter and taking a seat beside Jefferson. “Well, I really think you should get the rest of the information. I think you’re jumping to conclusions that maybe you don’t have to jump too.”

“I cannot do this to myself again. I can’t keep bringing myself back into that world. That version of me. Grace is in high school. We’ve settled down. I have a job. I can’t get tempted into the life of thievery and being half off my face most of the time.”

Just putting this out there for your knowledge:

I probably ship the thing.
