Flying over the world....

....isn't the same as being part of it. Hi, there! I'm Astrid. Or Nova, if you prefer. Oops, I'm so sorry! Are you all right? [Independent blog for the Once Upon a Time character Nova/Astrid. I track the tag "thewinglessdreamer." Please check my rules and verses page before RPing.]

[thewinglessdreamer]

Eventually, I will be done retagging things and with my navigation page.

Broken Dreams {Open Thread}

Now that Astrid knew who she was, it was time for her to do some serious thinking.  Back in the Enchanted Forest, all she’d wanted to do was to be a fairy godmother.  She thought she’d do a good job, watching over families and helping them when she was asked.  After all, she really quite enjoyed helping people; it made her happy.  

But that had been until she’d met Dreamy.  

That night, everything had changed.  No one else believed that she was capable of becoming a fairy godmother, but Dreamy….he did.  The two of them fell in love and made plans to run away together.  

For one day, one glorious day, the Faerie had been happy, truly happy.  She’d run the errands that the Blue Fairy had assigned her, thinking about Dreamy, about the life they were going to have together, exploring the world.  

The night they were supposed to get on the boat she’d acquired…Dreamy had broken her heart.  The Blue Fairy had gotten hold of him, somehow, and Dreamy listened to her.  He told her he didn’t love her, that it was just a dream.

But what he didn’t seem to understand was that he had become her new dream.  He made her smile, he made her happy.  All she wanted to do was to spend time with him.  

And he had told her that it wasn’t love, that he couldn’t love, and it had broken something inside of her.  

Here, in Storybrooke, she’d been a nun for 28 years.  She’d been able to help people, to do what she might have done (minus the magic) had she become a fairy godmother.  But the whole time….there was something missing.  As much as she enjoyed helping others, she still wasn’t happy.  

But what could she do?  She had memories from here, in Storybrooke, of wanting to be a ballerina.  Would that make her happy?  Honestly, she doubted it.  

The woman continued to shelve candles, heaving a sigh.  And then, suddenly, the step-ladder on which she’d been standing toppled, sending Astrid to the ground, box of candles spilling around her.

Already on edge to begin with, when the woman hit the ground, tears filled her eyes.  

"I hate this place,” she whimpered, pulling her legs into her chest and just sitting there, on the floor, surrounded by candles.

[thewinglessdreamer]

Hi, everyone!  I'm gonna work on going through my tags and making a list so I can have an actual navigation page.  And then retagging things too, probably.

I dropped some things with people who have disappeared, but I have some things in my drafts that I'll get to after my little project.  ^^

Like this for a short starter and I'll pop that up once I'm done!

Goodbye Blue Sky

[cupcakesmuses]

Hearing the woman approach, Jiminy knew better than to look up at her, no matter how great the desire to was. He didn’t. He’d forgotten what column he was on in his paperwork, but he didn’t look up, pretending not to have heard her.

His master smiled to the Dark Fairy, knowing exactly who she was. If she wanted his book keeper, she would have him. He didn’t wish to be turned into anything… unpleasant. Although with his bald, greasy head, bad teeth, and belly the size of a barrel,  it might just be an improvement. He twirled his dark mustache as if attempting to charm her. 

"Indeed, my beautiful faerie, does he interest you? I usually do not intend on selling those not for auction, but for you… I see he would make a fine gift for such a wonderous lady as yourself."

By now Jiminy had forgotten his numbers all together. Another slave had been sold and he hadn’t even heard the number of the slave, much less the sale price. 

[thewinglessdreamer]

Nova wrinkled her nose at the auctioneer as he came closer, disgusted with the man's appearance as well as his ridiculous attempt at what appeared to be 'charm.'  One needed much more to interest one such as Nova.  The only thing that this man had that interested the faerie at all was the slave.  And if the auctioneer attempted to keep 'charming' her, she might turn him into something unpleasant anyway. 

"I am not 'your' anything but your customer," she said smoothly, disliking his ingratiating tone.  Of course, she was used to that sort of thing by now, but people like this man disgusted her.

The slave kept his head down, continuing to study the sheet of paper in front of him.  Nova wasn't used to being ignored; it quite intrigued her, that this slave could put her presence seemingly out of his mind.  

Her steps smooth and even, Nova circled the slave, her eyes raking his body as she took in every aspect of him.  Yes, he might just do nicely.  But he still wasn't looking at her.  And that bothered her more than it probably should have.

"Look at me," she commanded, expecting to be obeyed.

She rolled her eyes at her answer. “Fine as long as I get my A by the end of the semester. I suppose I won’t mind the slow burn to it. Just make sure you do it, Nova. I can destroy you otherwise.” 

The brunette laughed at her sarcasm though the irritation was clear in her face. “It means you went from a nobody to a somebody in the eyes of the campus population. Now either you take it and join us or you can go run and play pretend that you matter.”

[thewinglessdreamer]

Nova just shook her head at the other girl's words.  Regina acted like she was the queen of the campus, but Nova's mother had told her about the other girl's home life (which she probably shouldn't have) and Nova couldn't help but feel for her.  They were kindred spirits, in a way, hating and fearing their mothers while still yearning for their love and acceptance.  

"I've always been a somebody, Regina," Nova said softly, taking a deep breath.  "And so have you."  Even before all of this college .... shit.  Still, she would love to have more friends, even if it meant working to get Regina to actually consider her a friend and not just a tool. 

[thewinglessdreamer]

"Congratulations, Regina; you are now the proud owner of a passing grade in Economics."

[appleturnoverqueen-deactivated2]

"I don’t want a passing grade, you twit. I wanted an A. If your mother wasn’t such a pain in the ass, I would be getting it fine.”

“But I suppose I should congratulate you for successfully going against your mother. Good job, Nova. You’re now one of us.”

[thewinglessdreamer]

"Do you also want to be expelled while you're at it?" the girl asked, putting a hand on her hip.  "You'll get your A, but it has to be gradual." 

"Oh, hooray," she said, her tone sarcastic.  "What does that even mean, Regina?"

Root ↳3.20 Death Benefit

[kweiss01]

"The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords. In that realm a man may, perhaps, count himself fortunate to have wandered, but its very richness and strangeness tie the tongue of a traveler who would report them. And while he is there it is dangerous for him to ask too many questions, lest the gates should be shut and the keys lost."

"Care to join me?" ((I live! :D))

Send me “Care to join me?” 1 - A bubble bath

"Sounds perfect…"

[thewinglessdreamer]

"I was hoping you’d say that," Astrid smiled, letting the robe she’d been wearing fall to the floor.  "The water’s nice and hot," she murmured, stepping into the tub and leaning back, glancing up at Archie with a flirty grin.

"No." Maleficent glares at the young woman infront of her, Nova or Astrid (as she was named in this land) has been insisting of getting a pet for her. "I’ve already told you, dear, that I don’t wish to get a pet of any kind. I’m doing great on my own."

[thewinglessdreamer]

"I know you’re doing fine," she said with a smile, "but a pet’s a wonderful idea!  If not for you, then for the pets at the shelter.  They all need someone."  Astrid laughed, adding, "And if you don’t want the pet, I’ll certainly take one."
