You heard people around you as you sat in the booth alone at granny's. Someone you recognized with a black short pixie cut with a warm smile and kind eyes. She offered you to sit with her and her family so you're not alone. You look up at her, looking at her outfit. pink blouse with black leggings. Brown boots since it was getting somewhat chilly outside. You looked her outfit up and down- shit.
You realized that you doing this could give the impression of a dirty look so you just look back to your phone instead. The woman furrowed her brows, somewhat confused as she tilted her head. After a couple of seconds she walked back to her table with a 2 other girls and a guy. One girl with a black bob, the other with blonde long hair- oh no. This was Henry's, your boyfriend, family. They all saw you staring at them and the one with a bob gave you a dirty look as she saw your stare. You realized that you had your brows furrowed and quickly relaxed them. Embarrassed, you just go back to your previous activities on your phone.
You then hear the door jingle, announcing to everyone that someone entered. You heard Red softly tell them 'hey henry', so you look back and immediately smiled. It was more of a subtle smile but better than earlier nonetheless. You got up and walked over to him, mumbling a quiet 'hey'. Usually you'd be louder but you could feel his family glaring at you. You could feel the stares pierce through your back.
Henry smiled back at you then saw his families confused looks and one of his mom's glare. His brows then furrowed as he looked back at you. You gave an awkward smile and replied, "uhm... I met your family, unknowingly...."
He sighs and walks past you, grabbing your hand. He walks to their table, "Moms, grandma, grandpa, this is my girlfriend. [Name]."
The one with a black bob looked you up and down, almost exactly to how you did to the one with a pixie cut. Henry pointed to all of them and told you who they were. Even though you were rude, His grandma still gave you a warm smile, the only one to be kind, once she was introduced. It felt ironic that she was the only nice one.
"Hi.. sorry about the looks, It wasn't meant to be rude..." You explain, shoulders tensed. Henry's hand was still laced with yours.
"What was it meant as then." His mom with black hair replied, he said her name was regina. She wasn't asking a question it sounded like. It was definitely meant to intimidate.
"I was just... observing, I guess? I don't know what it's called but it wasn't ill intended." You explain further, praying that they forgive you.
His grandma gives them all a look, one that says 'its fine'. Regina looked you up and down again then relaxed back into her chair.
"Who's your mom and dad?" His grandpa questions, Henry sighs seeing all of them ready to give his girlfriend a second chance. You guys combined the table and the booth and talked til it was dark.
His family loved you once they got to know you, David said your smile was brighter than Mary Margaret's.
a/n: “I told you to slow down.” and “Kill me now and put me out of my sugar-fueled misery.” prompts used!
requested by @sweetjedi
"Oh, my God..." You groaned, laying down in a booth of Granny's Diner. "Kill me now and put me out of my sugar-fueled misery." Ruby laid on the opposite side of you, peering at you under the table and looking a bit green.
"I didn't know I had a limit on how much I could eat until now." Ruby whined, holding her stomach with a pained expression on her face. "I love Halloween, I really do. But this, this was too much."
"I told you two to slow down or else you’d get a tummy ache, but no one wants to listen to Granny." Granny lectured as she closed up the Diner, but you two didn't even have the strength to fight back. "I have something for stomach aches I can give you, hold tight." She wandered away from sight and you, learning nothing, grabbed another piece of candy.
"No way. I'd puke if I had another piece." Ruby protested as you ripped another wrapper open.
"It's only Halloween once a year." You popped the piece of chocolate in your mouth, consequences be damned.
A Hunter By Trade - Ruby Lucas/Reader (Once Upon a Time)
prompt: "Could I request a Ruby(from OUAT) x reader one shot where R is a werewolf hunter and doesn't know Ruby is a werewolf and when R finds out Ruby is terrified that she'll leave her or kill her but instead the reader quits being a hunter and becomes a cop with Emma and David? Some fluff in the end?" - anon
a/n: these are from my old tumblr thefandomwritings from back in 2018 ! re-vamped and re-purposed!! hope u enjoy and forgive the 2018 me style writing
Having just finished your shift in the forest, hunting under Mr Gold's insistence, you were happy to finally be off work for another month and back with your girlfriend at Granny's Diner. Ruby's long hours of working there often meant you're schedules of night shifts and hers of day shifts would clash but for the next month you were free to spend time with her,
"Morning Y/N." Emma gave you a small wave as you walked into the Diner like you did every morning after work.
You sent Emma and Henry a tired smile, "Morning you two. Hot chocolate and waffles before school, Henry?" You asked the young boy who smiled cheekily and nodded, stuffing a forkful of his breakfast into his mouth.
You were going to stop for a chat before you realised you still had your hunting weapons on you and you should probably get rid of them. Your knife still strapped to your thigh and your silver gun still in its holster at your hip. Emma seemed to notice at the same time and was about to speak but was fortunately cut off by your girlfriend.
"Y/N! Good morning, how was work?" Ruby asked, wrapping her arms around you in a warm hug.
In an attempt to make your working life sound normal you simply shrugged and mumbled, "Quiet", which wasn't too far from the truth. You had never actually told Ruby exactly what your job entailed. All she really knew was that you had to work night shifts. However, she seemed content enough with your answer and pressed a light kiss to your lips.
Smiling, you pulled her close to you. You missed her when you were out working, you enjoyed the warmth and comfort just being in her arms caused you. Then that little moment was ruined by Emma inevitably speaking up.
"Need a gun for work, Y/N?" You turned to see her raising an eyebrow, looking at you intensely over her own steaming drink.
You rolled your eyes, "It's perfectly legal Swan." Justifying your actions as you sensed her legal conscience was starting to make an appearance.
Ruby's grip on you slowly loosened and you noticed her frown slightly, "You have a gun? How didn't I know you have a gun?"
"It's nothing Ruby. It was my mother's before she died," You smiled softly but Ruby still seemed unconvinced, "Mr Gold kindly made sure I got it a couple of weeks ago. Just before the spell broke."
Ruby shifted slightly, looking more uneasy by the minute, "But what's it for? Why do you even need it?" She protested.
"Originally it was just in memory of my mother but then Gold needed a favour so I thought I'd help him out and so more recently I've just been using it to keep the town safe, I guess. That's all he asked me to do. It's kind of in my blood to do it." You smiled proudly, now knowing that your mother and your mother's mother had both been Hunter's and now, in your own little way, you were honouring that.
"Keeping the town safe, isn't that my job?" Emma now joined in the inquisition, making your head spin slightly, "And you’re doing work for Gold?"
"Just as a favour, I patrol the woods at night, but I-" You stopped and took a deep breath, deciding that if they could just see how harmless your gun truly was then they'd give you a break. "I've never shot a person with it." You said, meekly as you carefully placed the gun down on the table.
"A silver gun?" You heard Ruby ask in an unusually quiet voice.
You were about to respond when Henry's cutlery clattered onto his plate, "You hunt werewolves? You're a Hunter? How didn't I see this before?" He asked incredulously, putting two and two together. "But-" He looked at Ruby but before he could continue you interrupted him in order to defend yourself.
"Woah, kid, no one said anything about werewolves." You shook your head, whilst having found out recently that that was in your blood, there were things that you couldn't bring yourself to do. Killing another human, in any form, was one of them. "I’d never- Look, Gold hired me to make sure that the wolves- that any animals don't create havoc or ruin his land o-or affect farmland." You clicked your gun back into its holster as it clearly wasn't being any use in calming anyone down. In fact, you were just getting more and more flustered as more questions were fired at you.
"Sure, that's what he told you." Henry got increasingly agitated, "You know you shouldn't kill anything. Don't you know who Ruby-" Emma quickly stood up and spoke over Henry.
"Okay, okay, enough chit-chat. Henry, let's get you to school." She gave him a look and left enough money to cover the food and drink on the table.
"But-"
"Henry, now." She clicked her fingers and Henry sighed in defeat before picking his bag up. He gave Ruby an apologetic look and just looked at you, contemplating what to say as he walked past. Whatever it was got interrupted by his mother as she practically pulled him out of the now empty Diner, "Faster, Henry."
You watched them leave in confusion before turning to Ruby, "Babe, I-"
"I don't want to talk right now." She turned away from you, clearing Emma and Henry's table. You frowned and reached out to your girlfriend's side, pulling her gently to you. She swatted you away and you swore she almost let out a small growl, "Y/N, just leave me alone!"
You shook your head, "I don't understand, I practically do the same job as Emma but just with animals rather than people. I found something I'm actually good at Ruby! Why can't you be happy for me, I-"
"Was your Mother a werewolf hunter? Back in the Enchanted Forest. Was she a Hunter?" She interrupted you, her voice increasing in volume before she slammed the plates down behind the counter. "Did she hunt animals?"
You hesitated before finally nodding, "Yes." You admitted and Ruby scoffed.
"So it's 'in your blood' to kill animals, is it? To kill-"
"No! I mean... yeah. But-"
"Then why do you need a gun, a silver gun? With silver bullets? Used to kill werewolves. Why do you need weapons if you don't kill?"
"Okay, well, on the odd occasion, I've had to-"
"Great!" She let out a loud sarcastic laugh and shook her head.
"But only when it's really necessary. And I told you I don't kill people! Okay? Whatever form they're in, I will not kill a person, okay? I'm not my mother, Ruby-"
She shook her head and clenched her teeth, "It turns out there is still a lot I don't know about you Y/N." She whispered, looking you dead in the eye as she spoke.
"No, that's not fair. There are things about you that I don't know too. There are still things about everyone I thought I knew that I don't know because of this stupid curse but we're working it out!" You reasoned, willing yourself not to think the worse about this situation. There was a horrible silence as you waited for her to say something. Anything. And when she finally did, it wasn't what you had expected at all.
"I don't think I feel safe around you, Y/N." She backed away from you ever so slightly and refused to look you in the eye. For the first time you've known Ruby, she genuinely looked frightened. Of you.
Your stomach dropped at her confession and you shut your eyes for a few moments and took a second to breath. "If this is about the gun then I only have it to protect you, Ruby. It's to protect everyone. I love you. I would never, ever do anything to hurt you. I just want to protect you."
"From what?"
You clenched your fists and slammed a hand on the counter, tired from repeating the same thing. If Ruby had been wanting your answer to change each time to something she would rather hear then she was out of luck, "From rabid animals." You cried out, getting angry at such a stupid fight over such a tiny thing.
"What? Animals like me, you mean?" She asked, contrasting your loud anger with a quiet fear. Whilst her eyes looked terrified she attempted to make herself look brave and confrontational by jutting her chin up slightly and staring you down but you knew her too well.
The anger inside of you quickly dissipated and you slowly approached her, treating her like one would a spooked horse or a trapped rabbit. "What do you mean by that?"
"Y-You said that there were things you don't know about me and that's true." You watched as she began to crumble, her eyes starting to become tearful. "I'm a werewolf. Your kind hunt me and my kind." She finally croaked out.
You both stood and stared at each other over the counter for a few minutes, not quite knowing what to do. There was a part of you that couldn't believe you didn't know, that she hadn't told you. A whole other part started to recognise the little signs that you had slowly picked up on but stubbornly ignored.
The tiny bell at the top of the door to Granny's rung, knocking you out of your thoughts and back into reality. Now that the diner was no longer empty you couldn't stay there any longer. You need an explanation but it couldn't be done there and besides, there was something more important you had to do first, "I have to go." You finally spoke up, not quite daring to look into Ruby's tear soaked eyes and instead keeping your head down and walking out the door.
Driving around for hours to clear your head eventually led you to the Sheriff's department, knowing Emma would be there by now. You ran in, throwing your gun on the table and crossing your arms as you stared down at the blonde woman. "How long did you know who my girlfriend was?"
Emma sighed and grimaced slightly, "She told you?"
"Mhmm." You flopped down in the chair opposite Emma and started chewing your lip. There was a long pause between the two of you, seeing as you were completely absorbed with your own thoughts.
Emma took a deep breath, eventually choosing to cut off the silence, "What are you going to do?" You shook your head slightly.
"I was born to be a Hunter, Emma." You noticed her raise an eyebrow slightly and so you hastened to add, "But I love Ruby. So much." You'd never do anything to hurt her, that much you knew.
"You're going to return the gun to Gold?"
"No." You shrugged, "I'll lock it up someone safe, I suppose. So no one can make use of it."
Emma put her hand on your shoulder and smiled fondly, "You made the right decision."
You sat in silence for a bit, Emma leafing through some paperwork as you tried to get your brain to absorb everything that had happened in the last few hours, "I won't miss the long nights, that's for sure." You eventually said, only just realising you were technically now out of a job. "Anyway, I should go. Thanks Em, for helping me figure out what's right."
Just before you made your way out of the door, Emma stopped you in your tracks by shouting after you, "Hey, Y/N, if you need a job we might just have an opening here for you. Can't guarantee you'll never work a night shift again, but you can keep on protecting Ruby and the town. You can just do it a bit more legally." You slowly turned back to your friend and smiled, shooting her a quick nod.
"You're on, Swan."
----------------------
It was gone noon once you were finished at the police station and you knew Ruby would have finished her shift by now so you swung by your shared apartment, hoping that she would be there.
You were torn between knocking and just walking straight in but ultimately chose the latter option, scared that if you were to knock then she wouldn't answer to you.
"Ruby?"
"I don't want to talk to you." A voice drifted from your left. You hesitantly licked your lips and followed her voice.
"Ruby-" You turned the corner to see her curled up on the sofa beneath a heavy red blanket.
She shook her head and you knew well enough to stop talking. "I just... I cannot believe you'd do this! That you would do something so stupid and so--"
"I quit." You shrugged and took a step closer to your girlfriend.
"What?" She asked, head turning to the side slightly. You clenched your jaw at the pain you had caused within her.
You paused, formulating what you wanted to say before plunging into it. "I'm not a hunter anymore. I quit. I want nothing but to keep you safe and if you don't feel that way with me then I'll change."
Ruby stood up and shook her head, "I don't understand."
"I'd do anything for you. I love you." You finally wrapped your arms around Ruby's waist and pulled her into you, hovering your lips close to hers, "I'm sorry."
The smile on her face grew as she gazed into your eyes and her hands hovered over your hips. She begun to place a trail of kisses from your jaw down your neck. Ready to take it further, you pushed her slightly towards the sofa and tugged slightly at her red shorts. However, before you had the chance, Ruby pulled away and took a deep breath.
"What?" You asked, fearing you had done something wrong.
"What are you going to do now?" She asked, and you could still sense a dash of emotion reappearing from earlier. You pushed to do anything to clear her doubt about you.
You hooked your fingers in the belt loop holes of her shorts and winked, "What do you think about me in uniform?"
Ruby bit her lip and smirked, pushing you down on the sofa, "I think I could get used to the idea."
Heyy, please could I have a ship for Ouat, originals and gossip girl ❤️
I’m bisexual, I love to read. I have an obsession with chase Atlantic and James Arthur. I hate when people lie to me, I’m between mid and plus sized so I struggle with my body confidence, I love the theatre and want to be an actress one day. I also adore sleeping (I’m asleep 99% of the time) I’m a reality shifter and sarcasm is my second language
Ruby is free-spirited, empathetic, and fiercely loyal—she’d adore your artistic ambitions and support you wholeheartedly. Her own journey of self-acceptance mirrors your body confidence struggles, and her adventurous nature complements your reality-shifting. Plus, her playful sarcasm would fit perfectly with yours, making for a fun and flirtatious dynamic.
Rebekah’s longing for love and a fulfilling life aligns beautifully with your aspirations to pursue your dreams. She’s bold, independent, and unapologetically herself—qualities that would inspire and encourage you. Rebekah would admire your theatrical flair and witty sarcasm, and her protective nature would ensure she’s always in your corner, especially when dealing with dishonesty.
Blair’s love of drama and passion for the arts would instantly bond the two of you. She’d be the ultimate hype woman for your acting career and body positivity journey, pushing you to embrace your confidence. Her own penchant for sarcasm and high standards would make your witty exchanges electrifying. While she struggles with vulnerability, your shared love for books and creative pursuits could create a softer, more intimate connection.
The fall is a season when staying indoors with a warm beverage and a book seems much more enjoyable than during any other time of year. There are just days when going out into the rainy, windy weather, with temperatures much lower than a month or two back, doesn't feel like the best option.
Today's a day where you don't have much choice. Even though you'd love to curl up on your sofa and take your time, your duties await. To make this perspective a little more enjoyable, you stop by Granny's Diner to grab a coffee.
Ruby greets you with a smile as you seat by the counter and sigh.
'Hi, gorgeous,' she says. 'What can I do for you?'
Feeling that you're starting to blush, you say:
'Hey, Ruby. If you had any coffee to spare, that would be a life saver.'
'Give me one minute, I might have something that will help you.'
You can't see what exactly is that she's preparing since she turned around to make you a coffee and now her back's facing you, but it soon starts to smell delicious.
After a short wait Ruby turns back around and places a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll on a plate in front of you.
'I only asked for a coffee,' you remark, grabbing the cup.
'I know, but the rolls are fresh from the oven. You should try it.'
You take a first sip of the coffee. Aside from the energy boost you can sense slowly creeping in, you can taste caramel and pumpkin spice in the coffee, which makes it even better. Now less hesitant, you also take a bite of the still warm cinnamon roll.
'It's delicious, Ruby!' you say with your mouth still full.
'I'm glad you like it,' she responds with a chuckle.
You slowly go through your coffee and roll, chatting with Ruby, using the occassion that Diner isn't too busy yet.
Once you finish, you reach to your bag for your wallet. When Ruby realises that, she starts to shush you.
'There's no need, Y/N. It's on the house.'
'But, Ruby...'
'No, honestly. It's a special Halloween offer.'
You quickly glance at your phone and realise it indeed is Halloween. The way Ruby winks at you as you leave makes you think it wasn't entirely true, but you couldn't really deny her argument. Besides, getting free treats as a kind act from a friendly person definitely warms up your day.
Hey, if you like my fics and want to support me please consider donating here and letting me know which one shot you came from. Writing has been my longest standing passion and I want to still be able to afford to make time for it inbetween further education and having to make a living for myself.
Pairing: Ruby Lucas x Fem!Reader
None of my x readers specify race, height, body type, or general appearance.
We're still together.
Brief synopsis: this is just before ruby is supposed to turn, so she comes out about her werewolf condition to reader, who never knew her in the enchanted forest. reader is a teacher btw.
Warnings: angst, crying, kinda breaks the curse's rules a little (the curse is supposed to be the same day repeating itself for 28 years but ruby and reader organically fall in love)
"Is there a reason you're closing up early?" You asked as you walked into Granny's, smiling brightly and kissing your girlfriend's cheek.
You usually never picked Ruby up at the end of her shifts. They were slightly later than yours, you being a school teacher, and you had work to do. You usually spent those couple of hours free between the end of your shift and the end of hers planning your lessons and marking homework, then you cooked some dinner and your girlfriend came in spot on time. It was only by chance Mary Margaret- well, Snow, now that the curse was lifted- invited you over to Granny's in a hurry. You shrugged and followed the frantic woman, thinking she'd treat you to a hot chocolate and figure out how the history syllabus was supposed to look like now the kids knew fairy tales were real. That had been stressing out all the teaching staff recently.
David and Mary Margaret stood at the door awkwardly. Granny joined them and they stepped out, leaving just you and Ruby in the room.
"Mary Margaret? Hey!" You exclaimed, raising an eyebrow as they stood by the windows.
You looked back at Ruby and sighed, "sorry, it's just we had some stuff we needed to discuss, you know what I told you in bed a couple nights ago, teaching the kids about where they're really from and whatnot."
Ruby stayed still, taking your hand in both of hers. It was only then you realised she hadn't even spoken since you'd walked in. In fact, looking back, you realised she had been having a serious conversation with David and Granny before Mary Margaret had marched you in. Your face stilled and your gaze met hers. She had all your undivided attention.
She opened her mouth slightly to speak then stopped. She sighed and pulled you closer, letting go of your hand to wrap her arms around you. A hand on your waist and one in your hair.
"Ruby..." You mumbled, hesitating before returning a reassuring embrace. "What's going on?"
"I'm sorry." She breathed, her voice breaking.
"Sorry?" You asked, only to be answered with silence. "Sorry for what?"
Still, nothing.
"Ruby, speak to me." You demanded, pulling away slightly just to look at her but keeping a hand on her shoulder and one on the small of her waist.
"It's about who I was- who I was in the Enchanted Forest- who I am." She stuttered, her face scrunching up as if she was about to cry.
"Oh." You nodded, keeping a hand on her waist and guiding her to sit down at a booth.
You joined opposite her and held out your hands. She clasped them once again, gratefully. You watched as a tear slid down her cheek.
"I'm not who you think I am," she said, a small sob escaping, "sorry- sorry, this is hard."
You nodded and offered a half-smile, "if it helps, I'm not the nerdy elementary school teacher you fell in love with, and it's not your fault either. None of us are who we thought we were. Please don't apologise though."
"I opened with I'm sorry because I should've told you the moment I remembered. It's a deal breaker. We probably won't be in a relationship anymore." Ruby confessed.
You bit your lip, instinctively gripping Ruby's hands tighter. You could feel tears coming on your end now. You looked at Ruby through your blurred vision and thought about everything you knew about her. Her beauty, her charm, her humour. She must have been a princess in the Enchanted Forest. Yes, that's it. She was a princess and you were a lowly midwife in another kingdom. She had been to billions of balls and had many attractive suitors. One of them had charmed her and she was supposed to marry them and share their riches. She'd gotten all her memories back and realised she was in love with someone better than you ever will be, and now she had to break up with you and try to find them again.
"I'm a werewolf." Ruby declared, interrupting your train of thought.
You loosened your grip on her hands, launching her into a state of panic. She interlocked your fingers with hers and began her speech, crying the whole way through.
"Please don't be afraid of me, I understand if you're mad and you don't want to see me anymore. I know you didn't sign up to date a- date a monster like me." She sobbed, tears falling down her cheeks.
You sat back, trying to understand what you were just told.
"Y/N? Y/N? Say something. Please say something." Ruby bawled, facing the table.
"Well," you murmured, beginning to cry just at the sight of her, "why does this mean we have to break up?"
Ruby's faces contorted to one of confusion, "what?"
"You- you said we probably won't be in a- be in a relationship anymore..." You stuttered. "Why do we- we have to break up?"
"Let me get this straight. I could kill you, and you want to stay with me?" She asked, "do you know what you're getting into, Y/N?"
"Could."
"I ate my ex boyfriend."
"We all get angry sometimes." You joked, letting go of her hands to wipe away your tears.
She laughed, wiping hers away too. She took a compact mirror out of the pocket of her work apron. "We look ridiculous." She noted at the mascara running down both your cheeks.
"So... we're still together?"
"If you want to be."
You couldn't put it into words how much you wanted to be. You opted instead to just roll your eyes, and lean forward to kiss your girlfriend. You began to hear some commotion and pulled away, raising an eyebrow.
You and Ruby turned your heads round to look at the window, watching as the three freezing idiots outside cheered for you. Your eyes focused on Mary Margarent and Ruby's on Granny. It was kind of like your first date in a way. They had known the two of you liked each other and they had no clue how to give people personal space or privacy, so they had watched the two of you from afar on your first date here, giving you massive smiles and thumbs up when they thought the other wasn't looking. Ruby had been almost a stranger then, but you had learnt everything you could about her now. It was as if everything was as it always was. You and Ruby together was just so natural.
"We're still together." You said, getting out of your seat, and pulling Ruby out of hers into your tighest hug ever.

But you don’t, you stick around even when he tries to push you away by telling you that you’d just get disappointed in him. You always have faith in him, and you believe in you two, no matter what. Killian realizes that you’re his happy ending, and that pirates can get those after all.
ROBIN HOOD
- He realizes it when you’re on a mission together. He doesn’t dare to believe it’s what it seems to be. After Maid Marian’s death, Robin was sure that he’ll never love anyone else like he loved her, and when he realizes that he’s falling for you, he feels guilty, because he feels like he’s shaming Marian’s memory. But Marian appears to him in his dreams and tells him to move on, telling him that if he doesn’t, she has failed in making him happy by destroying him but dying herself. That’s when Robin let himself to move on and he let the magic tying you two together to take over.

She was doubtful and careful about it until the end, but eventually she got convinced, and she loves you so much.

She’s grateful that you were willing to look past her mistakes and faults, allowing her to become a better person. That’s how she knows that you’re the one.
