The Anderson rule, the code his father has taught him to live by means nothing to him. He lives by his own code of doing whatever he wants.

Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving. Zoe kept everything locked inside her feelings, her loneliness, her hunger, her ache, her need until even she forgot what it felt like to be full. Then came Hayden Reid. Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend. The boy who used to tease her when they were kids visiting Italy. The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.

At the age of eleven, Scarlet received a letter inviting her to attend Hogwarts. She was overjoyed and went there right away. She was sorted into Ravenclaw, but even though she was happy, she struggled to make friends. So she spent hours in the library, where she discovered a spell that allowed her to transform into an animal. She liked cats, so that became her chosen form. In the same castle where Scarlet lived, there was the legendary group known as the Slytherins, a powerful gang of seventeen-year-olds made up of Tom, Mattheo, Regulus, Lorenzo, Blaise, Draco, Astoria, Daphne, Pansy, and Cassia Black.

Every word the Wicked Witch of the West, aka Zelena Mills, utters is laced with sass and a sharpness that strikes fear in the heart of many. Most of her 'wickedness' (and green skin) is fueled by years of rejection and a deep obsession to get everything her younger half sister has. However, during an Imperial Birthday Celebration a mysterious young lady catches her eye who goes by the name G Marie. The two have an eventful, and somewhat awkward, first meeting sparking an unexpected bond between them. When Zelena learns that this G Marie is a witch just like her, she decides to make the most of a new, unexpected proximity to her new person of interest and offers to become her mentor in magic! Taking knowledge from her experience in magic and spells, Zelena helps G Marie dig deep inside herself to spark the undeniable magical potential in her, all while working towards her one envy driven goal Disclaimer: The only characters that are 100% mine are G Marie, and Marigold. All other characters either are based off characters or are existing characters from The Villainess is the Heroine's Biggest Fan or Once Upon a Time Extra info for anyone who's confused: This is a The Villainess is the Heroine's Biggest Fan Fanfic taking place before the events of the first season of Once Upon a Time. Also in this AU I gave Zelena an awkward conformist twin brother, Zelimir, and I gave Zelena a maid, Marigold, who is my Once Upon a Time In Wonderland OC. So I have three OCs in this fanfic crossover. Not really a villainess isekai but it is supposed to be a fanfiction crossover of my favorite book which is a villainess isekai.

You are a woman. All that education will end in your husband's kitchen and his bed." That was what my mother always said. So when I ran back home one day-tired, broken, and desperate for comfort-she looked at me with disappointment and asked, "You left your husband's house to come complain in your father's house?"
