Once Upon a Return

Three years have passed since the Savior vanished. In Storybrooke, the town still hums with broken magic and unfinished goodbyes. Regina works tirelessly to keep her daughter's heartbeat steady - a fragile sleep sustained by her own dwindling magic. Henry refuses to give up, building a trail of breadcrumbs across the human world: a podcast, a tracker, a whisper through a counseling app called ❤️HavenLine, all in hopes of leading Emma home. Meanwhile, in Boston, Emma Swan's life has been rewritten. She's now a private investigator with a new past, a new boyfriend, and no memory of the family she left behind. But when she reaches out one sleepless night to a counselor named "R," the messages feel too familiar - as if she's speaking to someone who already knows her heart. As magic begins to stir again, old debts come due. David and Mary Margaret must pay the price of their deal, Henry must risk everything to find the truth, and Regina must face the one thing she cannot control - hope because love always finds a way home... even when the world forgets.
