She turned fifteen this last spring and gives her daddy headaches. She torments puppies and elves, but loves shopping. She makes pickpocketting very satisfying. Habren, in her room, daydreaming about the young Bann Maelon she met at the market. He's very handsome - he has purple eyes! and he's rich and he told her so many sweet things! It was love at first sight, just like in her favourite Orleasian novels. Poor girl doesn't know that she just had her first bitter experience with men.

Tethered- a fic by Habren / art by wherearemypants

Summary:

Three weeks after the time travel events, Snow & Gold manage to trap Emma and Regina in a cottage in the woods. They will remain there until they work through their issues. Naturally, their problems find a different solution than Snow had in mind

Notes:

Usual disclaimer: I own nothing and make no profit.

The events of this story take place three weeks after the occurrences in the season three finale. Everything seen on the show is canon. Elsa hasn’t made an appearance yet. Also, this will be one trope-filled adventure. I do not have the time to write an exciting plot, so I’m falling back on the “OMG! They’re trapped trope.” I hope you still enjoy it.

Betas: I shall mention you in alphabetical order: chilly-flame, evilregalwiththecoolestsocks, ohthesefeelingz, and phoenix-91. Thank you all so much! Your help was and is greatly appreciated and you made this a much better story. You rock! Also, any remaining mistakes are my own since I made the final revisions.

To the one who will never know.

In my latest playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins I heard a bit of ambient dialogue between Arl Bryland and Bann Alfstanna where he refers to Habren as having turned fifteen last summer. Did you decide to age her up for your story?

Hi, Nonny! Yes, Habren is older than that in my story; she'll be twenty years old at the start of the Blight. I hate to admit this, but I didn't make a conscious decision to go against canon. I wasn't aware of that dialogue until recently, and I really thought we didn't have a canonical age for Habren, so I made her the age that suited what I wanted to have happen. Having her be a few years older than Rhianna has worked out well for my story, though, so I don't regret it. I'm not sure what I would have done if I'd known from the start that they had actually told us Habren's age. :D Possibly, I would have aged her up anyway. Or, more likely, I would have used an OC (like Alysanne Valdric, or the pseudo-canonical Tanith Curwen, who appears in the Green Ronin RPG) as Rhianna's nemesis instead.
