Hello everyone!! Since I received nearly 88 requests (I am not joking 😅) for a story on Once upon a time, I have begun with this short fanfiction story called The Dark One as Stepfather. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for these requests. I must admit that writing this story was somewhat challenging. I wanted to loosely follow the original storyline, but you will notice that I have added my own personal touch to it. So guys! If you have any requests for a story, whether it's about a person, a show, or anything else you'd like to read about, please send them to me in a private message. I'll do my best to write a story based on your request! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the current story. Don't forget to connect with me on your preferred social media platforms. Your likes, comments, and subscriptions are greatly appreciated. Sharing is caring! Thank you, and happy reading! The formidable evil Queen and the enigmatic Dark One, two adversaries who command equal measures of awe and trepidation. What turn of events would transpire if they were to join forces? What consequences would arise if their hearts were to intertwine in a romantic embrace? Perhaps there was a time when they held affection for one another. Could it be that this is the root of their animosity? What if there is a child born of a forbidden union? Moira, the most beautiful maiden in her village, grapples with a sense of difference, being an adopted child raised by a poor widowed father. She yearns for a life beyond servitude, no longer content with working at the inn and serving the same patrons day after day. However, the arrival of a pirate may present an opportunity for change. Should she seize this chance and embark on a new path, leaving everything behind?
