Do you think you can ever forgive Weaver? I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you. He'd never admit it, but he's got a soft spot for orphans and abandoned kids. He must have had a good reason for not wanting Eloise found.

I knew gettin’ into business with cops meant you never got the whole story. Weaver’s no different — most days it seems he runs more off of half-truths than water. Didn’t used to mind that so much; he kept things interesting, even when the world around here started to get too small. And yeah, obviously there’s a greater puzzle to what put Eloise in Belfrey’s tower,

Funny thing is how all that still doesn’t change that he helped keep a lost woman locked away.

No matter what you see or think or feel, stay AWAY from Eloise Gardener.

I suppose I’m meant to just listen to any old nobody who doesn’t bother to put a face to their information?

Clearly we’ve got somethin’ growing around Eloise Gardener — that symbol from her diary’s poppin’ up across the neighborhood now, and the last I heard Belfrey’d gotten off even with her keeping that woman locked away. But there’s no rooting up whatever that something is if I don’t put my own eyes and ears in the mix.

(they were never closed, but wa-hey, now it’s actually out there that her submit exists!) tilly won’t be opening up her gifts until christmas day thru the end of 2017, but other folks around hyperion heights and storybrooke are now through/into then, so go and spread around that love! meanwhile i’m going to dive into brainstorming and celebrating the end of finals

Do you think Detective Roger's is a good man?

I do, yeah. Better than most ‘round here, anyway — starting to look like he might be the only one, so much as the boys in blue are concerned. I think it takes the right sort of person to spend as much time as he did lookin’ for Eloise Gardener. Doesn’t look like he’s the kind to give up. Not on her or… anyone.

not lewis carrol or a&e

hello hello to everyone! it’s hard to believe that this is the first night i’ve been around for an actual episode — this entire au event has been so much fun and gave me so much practice to work on getting into both tilly and alice’s head(s) and one hell of a race to finish it up at the end jesus and a broken knightrook heart but y’know like. whatever. it got better kind of at the end??

i don’t believe we’ll be seeing much (if any!) of tilly during tonight’s episode (which i’ll also just be seeing for the first time tomorrow morning, myself ✌️ thx & peace out country reception), but anything referring to the dealings of tonight will still be tagged as “ouat spoilers” for the next 24 hrs!

see y’all on the flipside!

AU: Oh... thought I'd find you here. Just thought you'd like to see c I found my bottle, right back in the unit where I left it. Funny, isn't it? When things get lost, they're always right in the place you should've looked for them in the first place.

That’s… good.  You have any idea how difficult it is to track down a doctor in the middle of the night with only a first name?

Have you…  I mean…

You seem a little better?

[ask-tillyalice-blog]

askdetectiverogers:

No I suppose I didn’t ask, did I? 

What is it then, the other name?  

I just want to help, love,  what is it you need?

You’ve got the answer to that already, Detective. And I just can’t wait for you to figure that one out for yourself.

Just… promise me. Promise that you won’t go off runnin’ onto your next adventure without me, just ‘cos I’ve gotten fixed up to how you like. Don’t leave me the girl up in her tower under the troll bridge just because of a little mess of masks and pills.

You never asked if I’ve got another. That’s the problem, isn’t it? You can’t have more than one name, not here. Not if you really want to do more than just get from day to day.

… I will be. Soon. I just — I didn’t expect it to come this soon, didn’t think I’d get done tracking down my head before you did. And I will, I’ll get my head on straight, I promise. But I’d like your word on something before I do.

(AU) Bad form to run off mid game, isn't it? Mind if I sit in? I haven't played chess in a very long time but I think I still remember the rules. And if I move his queen, I do believe that is check.

No, he was — hold on, don’t touch that! You’re going to mess it all up, then I won’t have anything left of —

…Who are you? I’ve never seen you comin’ anywhere around here, and I know this neighborhood. What the hell do you think you’re doing?

[ask-tillyalice-blog]

ask–killianjones:

I met your father once, while he was looking for you,  did you know that? 

Right pain in the ass, he was.  He’d do anything to get back to you.  Anything. 

The course may not have run smooth for you both but he loves you. And he’ll fight for you, whether he knows he’s doing it or not.  If you need to forget for a while, if that’s what helps you to survive then you do that. 

You do whatever you need to do to keep yourself sound until he gets back to you. Understand? 

— Yeah. That’s him.

I… I think I’m going to go now. Head back home, maybe just — get a minute. Before he comes lookin’ for me, just a little peace and quiet. You go look out for your own family, alright? And…thanks. For bargin’ right in.

ask--killianjones:

No,  it’s not wrong.  And it’s not enough.  And it sure as hell isn’t fair to you. 

If I had a memory potion in this flask rather than ginger tea (don’t ask, it’s a long story), I’d give it to you in a moment because you deserve better. 

I’ve been around this family a long time now and I’ve learned a thing or two though.  First among them is that curses don’t last forever.  Not in this family, anyway.  He will remember you again. 

You know, I’ve heard some fine tales about curses like these. How everythin’ can be fixed if you just believe that it can. But us here, now? We’ve got an entirely different monster to defeat, and it’s going to take a bit more than just some True Love’s Kiss. That’s an awfully long time to wait. To sit, to remember. To have him looking at me everyday like I’m such a disappointment, like I’m off my head, like I’m just another danger he has to lock up all because I won’t take another pill that keeps me from rememberin’ everything the way it used to be.

When this entire strange night is finally done with, I don’t think I can wait that long. Not...like this, not with all of me all together just knowing that that’s all we’ve ever done: wait for an answer to an unsolvable problem.

He might remember me again. But until that day, I don’t want to remember him.

They wouldn’t believe me if I told them.  Much like your father.  They’d want to believe,  but they can’t.

I’m not sure you would believe me either, even now.

See that lass over there,  the one talking to Henry?  She’d give near anything for him to remember her.  But until he does at least she can be nearby,  can make sure he’s safe, can spend some time with him. 

You can have the same thing with your father.  Even without his true memories it’s obvious he cares for you.  Let him care for you the only way he knows how right now.

That Henry Mills. I don’t think I’ve seen half as many cats with the luck he has with landing on his feet. Some of us don’t get as many chances.

My papa and I — we’ve spent a good deal of our lives just trying to find some way to get even the tiniest spark of what the rest like to call a “happy ending.” Something always finds a way to go wrong. Is it so wrong to think that “the only way he knows” isn’t enough?

Ah, wasn’t supposed to let that bit slip. Can you keep a secret, love? There’s a few people in this room who might not respond well to our real names.

You see, we’ve family in town. And Emma keeps good track of her family. When she found they’d returned to this place she wished to ensure they were safe, even if there’s not much she can do to help right now.

Interestin’. Let me guess: fake names, fake stories… maybe even a fake face?

You’ve not got too bad of a reason to hang about in family. Makes a girl wonder, though — what you’ve got to hide behind a good mask when there’s something so much greater for the people you love to understand if you just throw it away. If you’re in such a mood for sharing secrets, what is your real name then?

Tell you what,  we’ll leave the chess  where it is; in case you want to pick up where you left off when he gets back.  I prefer cards anyway.

And Emma… Emma prefers blackjack recently.  She seems to think it’s harder for me to cheat at blackjack…

Deal me in.

I’ve always liked thinking that cheating’s just playing the game under different rules — half the fun’s just waiting for the other person to catch on and start playing something new. And let me guess: Emma’s that wife you spoke of? How’d the pair of you get an ear about our little neck of the woods?

ask–killianjones:

I’m not one of anyone’s, and I don’t want to put you back to sleep.

Honestly, love, I’ve a little one of my own on the way and it grieves me to see a father cause his child such pain.

He may not remember, but I am quite certain he’d not want you sitting alone right now.

I’ll leave if that’s what you’d like, but give me a chance … you may find I’m entertaining company.

How’d you know he’s my…

…Yeah. He wouldn’t. He’d just put himself all up in a twist about it — it’d take forever to get him to come back down. Gods, if I could even just see that silly, worried look on his real face just one more time… 

Alright. I suppose you can keep your seat; by the way this night’s going if it gets vacated someone else’s just going to slide right in after you. You still, uh…lookin’ to play a game? Never could turn down a challenge.

[ask-tillyalice-blog]

hi Alice how are you ?

Doing just grand, thanks. Wicked party, I’m ever so glad I came. Toss in a mad rabbit and a dribblin’ Jabberwock, and I think we’ll crack the Top 10.

Oh, I assure you I have a very strong penchant for barging in where I haven’t been invited.  Professional habit, I suppose, never quite shook it. 

The rest of the party doesn’t know their own mind like you do love,  makes you a right bit more interesting than they are. 

But you,  you’re wide awake aren’t you?

…Mind wider than most. Come off it — whatever game you’re thinkin’ about trying here, you’re not going to get any move on me.  Spent enough time this last while playing the part of someone else’s pawn, and I’m in no mood to have someone pullin’ my strings again.

What do you want, then? If you’re one of theirs, coming just to put me back asleep, don’t even bother. I’ve already got another one on that chase.
