"When the clock strikes twelve, that's when the magic will be gone."
Whether you were a witch or a princess, you thrived on magic. There were no questions asked; you just knew. You knew there was only one thing keeping you alive.
When Henley Castle, a girl believing only in facts, writes an article that literally crushes the dreams of children around the world, everything changes. Suddenly the magic that was always secretly there is dwindling, and all the fairytale characters are blaming her.
After Peter Pan sprinkles Henley with a touch of pixie dust, her eyes are opened to the world of heroes and villains and everything she thought to be a myth.
Since the release of the article, the children who stopped believing in magic are throwing off the balance of the fairytales. Everyone is running mad trying to figure out how to save the magic. Then with a string of luck the storybook beings are given the chance to save thier crumbling world. Unfortunately, they don't know how to navigate the mortal world, and there's only one girl that they trust to guide them.
If the shoe fits, Henley is in for one hell of a ride.

Lagoon - Book 1 of Peter Pan x OC
Pan let the silence hang in the tent between them, you could have cut the tension with a butter knife. "You think I've enchanted you into falling for me? Oh Pan, if you're attracted to me, you've done that all by yourself.". Those were the only words Pan needed to send him crashing over the edge of sanity. He grabbed her hand to steady it on his chest. He was holding her so tightly that Peter was sure Aurora could feel his erratic heart beat. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes wide with wonder. "Aurora?" He murmured onto her reddened cheek. "Yes?" "Call me Peter." [Just some explaining to do, this is an OUAT Fic of sorts, as it uses its characters, but it doesn't use any of its plot. I own Aurora's story line, and the characters of some lost boys, mermaids and pirates. During this time, Killian was working for Pan, but betrayed him to try and leave Neverland. After doing so, without his permission, he has come back to retrieve something. Pan is angry he has returned and wants revenge.] Disclaimer! I do not own any of the Once Upon A Time's characters or original stories, only the plot of this fanfic. Aurora's character, along with some of the lost boys, mermaids and pirate's characters belong to me. Warnings: Sexual content included Cursing Violence ( quite mild ) Happy reading! :)Complete

Extra Darling
I took a breath and quickly wiped a stray tear from my eye, "I'm tired of living in their shadows, waiting for them to finally realize that I still exist. I tell myself to be strong, to ignore the pain that they cause me, but I can't. I love them. I love them and they don't love me." His face softened as he put a hand on my cheek and rubbed away another tear. I gave him a helpless shrug, "When will it be my turn for a happy ending?" ********* Everybody knows the story. Peter Pan flew to the nursery window of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling and took them all to Neverland where they had marvellous adventures filled with flying children, evil pirates, and mischievous mermaids.
