Child of the Moon

There are wolves, they would say. And there are stories about wolves and girls. Girls in red. All alone in the woods. About to get eaten up. Wolves and girls. Both have sharp teeth. Red Riding Hood, locally known as Ruby Lucas. Yeah, that whole... werewolf thing? It's a bit complicated. Sorry, in advance, for the howling.

You miss them as much as I do then, do you?

[rubyredlucas]

Of course. You know, sometimes I really miss just being Ruby. So much easier.

Best new of the season 3b EVER!

[wistfulwatcher]

Riley, you have been vetted for months for a job you neither applied for nor are even aware of. We narrowed the list of candidates to six, and in the end, you are the only one I brought here.

You're welcome to join us.

That sounds like so much fun. Or would if I could drink.

[rubyredlucas]

You know Flynn's going to turn a blind eye. It's on me, I promise. Just don't go getting sick like that time we drank in the park, k?

[rubyredlucas]

You're welcome to join us.

[hogwartstea]

How sweet of you to extend such a gracious invitation towards me. Let us hope it isn’t on a full moon, dearie.

[rubyredlucas]

I wouldn't plan my engagement party around such a furry occasion, Mr Gold, I promise.

[rubyredlucas]

You're welcome to join us.

[a-kiss-still-hidden]

I would love to come, Ruby. Nothing exciting? My best friend is getting married, if that doesn’t qualify as exciting then I don’t know what does.

[rubyredlucas]

Alright then. Just like the old days.

commission for hoshinode who requested a little red riding wolf!

Thank you so much for commissioning me! <: it was fun to make up my own design!

[fitz-leopold-blog]

SHH!

For gods sake! Scaring them!

[rubyredlucas]

You know this is a marine sanctuary, right? You can't fish here.

[graham-humbert-archive-blog]

Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there...

[graham-humbert-archive-blog]

You know, I’d leap right back into bed if it weren’t for the fact that work needs to get done.

[rubyredlucas]

And Emma would kill you all over again.

I'll bring dinner by later. Get going before I change my mind.

[rubyredlucas]

You're welcome to join us.

[wesley-robinhood]

That depends, can I bring my crossbow, Red?

[rubyredlucas]

I don't know why you're so scared of my little old Grandmother, Robin. You were on her good list, once upon a time.

[rubyredlucas]

You're welcome to join us.

It's not going to be big-- I think Granny just wants to announce that her granddaughter is a kept woman now. A few drinks at the Rabbit Hole, nothing exciting.

She deserves better… and I can’t give her the attention she deserves if I have another baby. Besides, we don’t know how long this land will last, and lord knows someone else in this town is probably thinking up another curse as we speak… that’s no life to bring another child into.

[rubyredlucas]

That makes sense. But Emma's all grown-up now, and she knows that you're not exactly the most conventional family. I'm sure she'd understand, especially if it's going to make you that happy.

Do you really think it's going to happen again? Everything's gotten good, and I was hoping-- you know. Maybe we could stay here.

[poppylowndes-blog]

Look, I'm sorry, but...

[poppylowndes-blog]

That could be worth a shot…I can see if I can snag it from his room while he’s at school tomorrow. 

[rubyredlucas]

It's definitely a start. If you need help and hot cocoa, I'll be down at the diner all day. We'll figure this out.

[graham-humbert-archive-blog]

Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there...

[graham-humbert-archive-blog]

Mulan? Really? I always thought she was on my side off all this. That shows you how absent I really have been. Kidding.

Yeah? Then I was a crazy man to leave that bed.

[rubyredlucas]

Tell me about it.

[thefairestsnowhite]

...

[thefairestsnowhite]

I— I don’t know. I mean, it was always the plan to have more than one child. But… I don’t feel that it would be the right time now… or ever.

[rubyredlucas]

Is it because of what happened with Emma?

[poppylowndes-blog]

Look, I'm sorry, but...

[poppylowndes-blog]

Yeah…that’s probably best.

Will’s already looking into some leads as to who else has magical abilities in town…do you know of anyone else other than Regina and Gold..?

[rubyredlucas]

There's Genie, the cook at the diner, but he's harmless. I know it sounds ridiculous, but maybe Henry's story book would be useful here? To read about who had magic, and who would use it like this?
