"Your heart," he said quietly, touching your chin gracefully, "Is a broken compass. It's supposed to point North, but it doesn't... It points to me."

It was only meant to be training, and simply for your unpredictable magic at that. You his pupil, he your teacher. Once you were satisfied with the control you had over that magic - and yourself - you would part ways. Your deal with Rumplestiltskin would be complete. 

You never expected to fall in love with him.

The only one who truly loved her through everything was her younger brother, Baelfire. Though that changed when she was forced to go through a portal leading to an island of which she never aged on, but it was where her ability to love also grew. Time passed quickly for Jade the longer that she spent on the Island, that she almost forgot what it was like to live within the Enchanted Forest. However, as the fates would have it, her happiness was something that wouldn't last, no matter how much she tried. And for years after being ripped away, she tried to find ways back, through friendship, fear, and the one thing of which Jade regrets the most; betraying the people who saw her as a normal human being and not a monster. She ruined herself in name of trying to reach her lover once more. Jade Stiltskin, Camilla Hopper, Shadow, call her whatever you want, she's still the same person underneath - a lonely, mistreated, hurt, and abused child who only felt the love off of her brother while they grew up, who longed for her mother once more and a chance of freedom. If someone betrayed you, would you let them explain or would you jump to conclusions without hearing their side of the story? Let's be honest, Peter Pan will always be the one who Camilla will always trust - after all he's the one who showed her what love truly was. 22nd December 2017-1st April 2023 ▻Set during season 1 - 3 BOOK ONE OF THREE

As we go through life, we meet people who deeply touch our hearts and change us in meaningful ways. They leave lasting marks on our souls, transforming who we are. The footprints they leave behind guide us towards growth, ensuring we can never retrace our steps to the person we once were. And then, there was him. We found each other at the precise moment when our souls were ready to collide. Love enveloped us, and in his arms, I discovered a deep sense of belonging. Everything felt right, as if the universe had conspired to bring us together. But life has a way of unraveling even the most beautiful stories. In a cruel twist of fate, the ground beneath us began to crumble. The very thing that had given us hope and joy now carried the weight of our lives, feelings, and emotions, threatening to snatch them all away. The perfect illusion shattered, leaving behind broken fragments of what once was. He is the one who taught me how to love. But as I stand here engulfed in his absence, I realize he forgot to teach me the most crucial lesson of all-how to let go. The pain of holding onto his memory is unbearable, yet I would endure it all, for it's a bittersweet reminder of the love we shared. I'd trade my everything for just one more moment with him, for even a fleeting moment holds more joy than a lifetime without knowing him. ❁❁❁ This is Book 3 of my Botanical Novel Series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone book. I hope you enjoy the read, and if you can, please consider leaving a star and a comment. Thank you! ❁❁❁ 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔 𝚘𝚏 𝙵𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. 𝙿𝚕𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚖 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙼𝙴! 𝙰𝙻𝙻 𝚁𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃𝚂 𝚁𝙴𝚂𝙴𝚁𝚅𝙴𝙳.
