✘ - to wipe tears away from my muses eyes (Snow)

@storiesxtold some meme I posted years ago

Milah was not sure how Snow had found her. She had not even realized she'd started crying until she felt the tears being brushed away.

In the Underworld, the lack of life had made the permanence of death bearable. People lived, they died, and they either went to the Underworld or they moved on one way or another. Now, though, with a heart beating in her chest once more, she felt the fragility of life all around her. She remembered all too clearly what the Underworld had made her forget: that life was the journey one traveled to get there, not a means to an end.

She knew, of course, that the 'beloved son' chiseled on the stone was not for her, but it struck her far harder than the name below it had. The name she had given him had been struck out through history, and she was not even sure if she was allowed to mourn the man with the name on the stone. But she would mourn the boy.

"We were on our way back for him," she admitted, thick voice hard to work through her sore throat. She hadn't told anyone about that, not living at least, and she was not sure what Killian had told them. "And now he'll never know."

@storiesxtold asked: -”I work as a waiter (waitress) in the bad part of town, and you try to be all superhero on a guy who tries to creep, but I do this daily and oh my god did I just accidentally punch you???” AU (from Ruby to Emma)

That hurt-- but Emma wasn't about to admit that. Steadying herself against the counter, the blonde took a moment to recover before looking up at the waitress she had just been trying to help. "I'm okay--" She said, bringing her hand to her jaw where the punch had landed to try and see if she was actually okay or not. Honestly, she had taken worse, but it had caught her by surprise. "I guess that will teach me trying to help a lady who can handle herself. You should consider yourself lucky." She said to the guy behind her, shooting him a dirty look.

@storiesxtold liked for a starter !

“You’re not my son.” Regina stated obviously, tone laced with annoyance. Emma Swan was the last person she wished to see right now yet here she was, right under her nose as per usual. It was becoming clear there was no getting rid or getting away from the pesky blonde. “Henry texted me to meet him here for lunch, however I’m suddenly getting the feeling this is some sort of ploy.” A perfectly manicured brow rose as she looked to Emma accusingly. “Did you know about this? Because I will tell you something Miss Swan, I’m in no mood for childish games.”

Regina Mills.

The struggles the two woman had faced during their time knowing each other had unexpectedly pushed them closer together. Long gone were the days they tore into each other at every opportunity. The aftermath of the dark curse being broken should have made Emma bitter and revenge filled - only it did the opposite. Emma believed in Regina, more than she did herself. And she knew that regardless of the darkness that loomed in the former evil queen’s heart, that she would find the light. She wouldn’t give up on her, not whilst she still had breath in her lungs. 

It was Henry’s eleventh birthday and lately he had been staying with Emma and his grandparents in the shared loft. Things had became calmer in the town, the constant talk about the evil queen was subsiding. Standing outside the mayoral mansion, it had been a few days since the two had saw each other. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, they had no need to unless it was to do with Henry - only there were days they had found themselves just chatting. It had became a weekly ritual for the two but that ritual had came to a sudden end and Emma found herself missing it. As she now knocked at the wooden door, nerves set in.

regina had been absentmindedly stirring her tea for the better part of two minutes. she could feel snow’s curious eyes on her and swallowed hard. how do you tell snow white, that you’re in love with her daughter and plan to put a ring on her finger relatively soon. part of her felt like the tradition was stupid, but she knew the charmings would appreciate the gesture. even if she was only sat in front of snow. “neal is growing so fast, makes me wish henry was that small again.” looking over to the child playing with toys and taking a sip of her tea.

“Emma.... Wake up sleepyhead,” Ingrid whispered as she lightly jostled the girl’s shoulder. “It’s Christmas. Do you want to come down and see what santa left under the tree for you?”
