Dark One's Daughter *Book One*
Being the daughter of the dark one was always going to be a struggle. But this? This is just pure madness. It's even harder when you don't remember your true self and who you really are. Join me on my journey to find out the truth about this mysterious town that we like to call Storybrooke. Season One I don't own any other character than Amie (in this story she will probably be known as Tasha as that is who she is before the curse is broken).Complete

Child of Light: The Fairy Tale
Child, tuck yourself in bed, Let me tell a story, Of Lemuria, a kingdom past, And a girl born for glory. Lost from our world came she, Treachery gave close chase, She raised her sword and flew, For she feared not the race. Three long lost lights to save, A mad queen to defeat, The journey would transform her, Her destiny to meet. The path home tragic and faint. Beware the night, Child of Light. ******************************** For such an epic fairy tale, i was saddened that it was only in a video game form. What about the book readers? what about the children who could not afford the game itself? Therefore I decided to be a narrator, to write one, a fan fiction (retaining the rhyming style in my writing) for all those who did not know about such a story; children, adults, and all who still have the child's heart within (him/her)self. I'm really thankful to Jeffrey Yohalem & Ubisoft Team for creating such a beautiful fairy tale. *This Fan Fiction work is only a narration of the original game* "Child of Light™ story, art, music and original characters | © 2014 Ubisoft Entertainment.

Over the Hills and Faraway
Fairy tales, like music and poetry, are a language known to every soul no matter the culture, time, or place. Travel 'over the hills and faraway,' with these varied tales of Faerie and for a little while reclaim the wonder and joy peculiar to a childlike heart. This is a book of contrasts, a stewpot wherein anything and everything might lurk with each spoonful a different taste: high adventure and complete nonsense, serious quests and silly meanderings, real poetry and doggerel verse, one moment grave as death and blithe as a lark the next. As in life, the world of story and Faerie in particular is a varicolored, ever shifting landscape of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, adventure and quietude. Each story is preceded by a bit of verse or a quotation that may or may not be relevant, many of them are inspired by old nursery rhymes as one wonders what came of the original tale beyond the little passed down from time immemorial to the wondering hearts of children through the ages. Life is a story and with these bits and pieces of story, this crazy quilt of whimsy as it were, perhaps it will add a little more wonder to your own.Complete

When you tell a story over and over and over again enough times, details become warped. The finer points of the true meanings are lost between the lines. Just like the story of Ajatri Hope, whose story we most commonly know as, "The Jungle Book." One day, just like all the other people of her world, she found herself trapped in a place where her happy ending was stolen from her. A place where her family, her memories, and even her own true identity were stripped away. Our world. This is her story. "There's only one thing strong enough to bring back what you desire. Only one cure for your loss." "I don't know what that is!" "Come now, don't you know what magic is powerful enough to restore anything?" "You twisted bastard." "True love, dearie. Isn't that the Hook in everyone's story?" Once Upon A Time [TV] Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Season 6 Season 7 --- Disclaimers: I do not own Once Upon A Time, it's characters or plot. I do not own the Jungle Book story - all rights go to the appropriate parties. I do own my OCs and their plots. Highest Rankings: #1 in #enchantedforest [09/01/24]
