Twice Upon A Time - Season 2 (reader x once upon a time)

Selfless, Brave and True

Saturday, October 10

The Charming family was once again gathered at Mary Margaret's apartment for breakfast, but Snow was still secluded in her room

"Breakfast in bed? Seriously?" Angie asked her father, who was preparing a tray with food and some flowers for Snow

"What happened has been really hard on Mary Margaret. The least we can do is make sure she's eating" he replied

"Well, I think it's time to give the hot cocoa and the foot massages a rest" Emma said "It's time to haul her ass out of bed and get her to move past this"

"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" David told his daughter "She took Cora's life" he reminded them

"And that was her choice and you know it" Angie reminded him

"Is everything okay?" Henry asked, coming down the stairs after getting ready for the day

"Everything's fine kid. Get your coat, we're going to be late" Emma told him, getting up and grabbing her own coat

"Bye gramps, bye Angie" Henry said before the pair left

"Emma's right" Angie told her father once they were alone "I know you think that she needs our help, but at the end of the day, she's the only one who can help herself"

Angie grabbed her coat too and left. Ruby was waiting for her at the library

David was lost in thought over what his daughters had said and didn't noticed Snow come out of her room fully dressed until she spoke "Good morning"

"Hey. Morning" he said "I made you some eggs. But if you're craving something else, we can go to Granny's. Unless you have other plans?" he asked, seeing Snow fill up a bag

"I thought I'd head out to the woods, actually. I need to think things through" Snow said

"Let me come with you" David offered

"David, I need to do this alone" she told him "And you have things to do. I know you've been looking forward to working in the bean fields"

"Yeah. Yeah, Anton says we might have a crop soon" he said "And once we do, we can go home. And none of what happened will matter. It will all be in the past" he told her

"I used Regina to kill her own mother. I don't think going back will erase that" Snow told him

"Mary Margaret-"

"Please. Give me time" she asked before leaving

Emma and Henry went to Granny's to see Neal. Emma was planning on just dropping Henry of with his father for a bit, but Neal wanted to talk to her. He told her that the storage room where she had left Hook was empty when Tamara went there and that the reason Tamara was there was because she was coming to Storybrooke.

Emma wasn't happy about having another person who didn't know about magic in town and advised Neal to tell her the truth about himself.

Neal, for his part, wanted Emma to properly meet Tamara, seeing as they were all connected now

Snow was in the woods, practicing her archery while listening to rock music. She shot four arrows, the first three hitting the target painted on a tree, but the fourth one missed. She approached the tree, but something else caught her eye. She followed the sound of breaking branches until she found an old trailer parked in the middle of the woods.

Inside it, she found a still wooden but alive August. He asked her about his papa and she told him about Neal being back and engaged. She tried to convince him to go back to town with her, but he refused and begged her not to tell anyone that she had found him
