The storybooks got it wrong.

She was going to kill the man who ruined her life. 

Gold's family was murdered when she was 15. After losing everything, while barely surviving, she picks up a bow and arrow and hunts. 
To survive and bring justice for the family she once had. 

Fen Bears. The man with the daggers. The assassin. 
It wasn't personal when he killed. He was payed to. 
And he needed the money to provide for his sister. 

When Gold ends up in a sticky situation, She realizes she needs Fen, more than she cares to admit
But when does the person who kills for a living become the person you fall in love with?

54 parts Complete
Percy Jackson grew up in the town of Manhattan, New York. He was a nobody there. At his school, he had no one but his best friend, Annabeth Chase. They'd been friends since they were in kindergarten, when he stood up for her when a boy told her she was a nerd. Annabeth Chase knew one thing from the moment she became friends with a sea-green-eyed boy named Percy. He meant a lot to her in ways no one understood. Because through all her struggles back home, he was the goofball that kept her smiling at school. Thalia Grace knew there wasn't a place she could call home. Her mother was a drunk. Her dad was nowhere to be seen. But Thalia stayed for the protection of the roof. Not for her mother's long drunken fits. Kelp Head. That's what she called Percy. Because she loved him. But hated him because he was so happy. Nico Di Angelo thought no one could understand his pain when his sister, Bianca, died. He decided to blame it on himself. But he mainly blamed it on the sea-green-eyed boy also caught in the attack. Why did Bianca have to die and not him? Inside, he knew it wasn't Percy's fault. He knew Percy had no fault in it and that Nico was just crazy. And he didn't hate Percy. He loved Percy. But when life comes to you from the moment you are born, the only thing your mother could say to God was "help". Because life is cruel. When you love someone, they're taken. That's what happened when Percy disappeared from their lives when they were twelve. When he came back, a whole different person. When he came back with different friends. When he didn't even spare them a glance. Because love was crueler than hate. If hate even existed. But Annabeth didn't think he changed for no reason. She suspected something was behind it. What happened to Percy in those four years? #1 in percabeth (8/25/21) #2 in annabethchase (9/4/21)

A Dance in the Dark (Book 1) by JhulyxOliveira
77 parts Ongoing
[ magic, romance and madness. ] Everyone knew that a romance between a guardian and their protégé always ended in tragedy - yet they risked it. One day, I read that in real-life fairy tales, the princess sometimes needs to befriend the dragon and kill the prince, perhaps not to the most extreme extent, considering the prince's utility. (*Wink*). Twenty years had passed since the demise of the last living descendant bearing the bloodline of a potent family within the mystical realm. Individuals who possessed magic more formidable than anyone could have fathomed and that very magic could be pilfered if they were to meet an untimely end-a rumour ignited like wildfire. Word began to spread about the sole surviving member of the Lysion family, the last vestige of a lineage renowned for their blessings from the gods (or, as some argue, their curses), once no more than bedtime tales for children. Two decades earlier, a game of hide and seek unfolded that culminated in the death of the final Lysion at the hands of Oldo Blake, a formidable figure in the annals of history. Or so the story goes. An obscure girl. A concealed secret. A relentless pursuit. With a motley crew of bewildering Other Siders on her trail and an absolute dearth of knowledge on how to harness her precious magic, Rosélina Johnson's life transformed from that of an inconspicuous university student to that of a fugitive in the mystic realm, utterly unprepared for what lay ahead.

!!!Undergoing Editing!!! *previously known as The Red Queen Effect* "It's strange what desires could make foolish people do. I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you." ~ Wicked Game by Chris Isaak There were many times that I could remember hearing the stories about people falling in love or meeting their one true love. Stories that had allowed me to fantasize about meeting my true love, the one that fate had chosen for me. However, it seemed like it truly was never meant to be, according to my grandmother, "Love is a Queen's greatest weakness. Remember, my dear granddaughter, you are a Princess now but you will soon be a Queen who will rule with an iron fist and an empty heart." But was love truly a weakness? According to the stories that I have read and heard around the castle, love seemed to be something magical and incredible, especially if it was true love. So, how could someone determine it to be a weakness? It wasn't until I landed in Neverland that I had to find out the truth the hard way, in the most excruciating and heart-wrenching way possible. Yet, It was my fault after all, I decided to make a game out of it and someone else decided to use that to their advantage. If I was given the chance to change something from my past it would have been to prevent myself from all of the heartache that was to come. Maybe then I could have saved myself the trouble of having to rip out my own heart. But you know what they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I am the daughter of the Evil Queen, the granddaughter of the former Queen of Hearts, there is no such thing as a happy ending for people like me. What a Wicked Game life plays. *Comments and votes are always welcomed. ** I do not own Once Upon A Time, only my characters Clara, Ravenna, Kingsley, and Flynn and any ideas for this story.
