This group is once again ready to hit the tags and I couldn't be more excited to bring it back. Our masterlist here is updated and we'll be starting with an AU event to get back into the swing of things so while I figure that out, we'd love some apps or questions! We have so many roles still open.

In character

 age: [BIRTHDAY + ZODIAC]: Well, that’s rather a rude question, Dearie! I suppose, I must be approaching three hundred, though I present in my mid-fifties. I was born on the winter solstice, the twenty-first day of the twelfth month, which would put me on the last day of Sagittarius,

height: 1.73 meters or approximately, 5’7”

build: slight

eyes color: brown or gold, usually

hair: It was blond in my youth, darkened to brown, and now has a bit of grey in it. But really, dearie, all of this is rather useless, since it doesn’t even take a full glamour spell to touch up as needed

 5 STATS: for example happy, fierce, brave, passionate, outgoing can be both positive or negative: Organized, farsighted, acerbic, intelligent, introverted

A quote that fits your character (can be a book quote or song lyric be creative): On my own end, I am reminded of something which I, myself, have never forgotten: it is a constant struggle not to become what others believe you to be. And if they believe you to be evil, you sometimes need to ask yourself, “Why bother fighting it? Be the evil they see in you. Do unto them – and with great fury.” Anyone half-sane mind needs to ask: Why are you battling to hold back the instincts which scream for you to lash out, to attack, to be the monster they claim you are? Why don't you hurt them before they kill you for “being” something you’re not?

RUMPLE is TAKEN by ELLEN/DRAGONBAT

  A para example (2 paras) about your character: I’m not sure what more you want of me dearie. It’s been my experience that to be open is to be vulnerable and to be vulnerable is to be hurt. Not how I operate. I am Rumpelstiltskin, and should you require my assistance, as you inevitably will, it shall be yours… but it’ll cost you, dearly, dearie, and pay it you shall.

They say that riches will never buy happiness, but power brings comfort and security. To one of my background and history, there are days when that is very nearly enough.

DAVID is TAKEN by ADMIN NAOMI

David Nolan slowly opened his eyes to the sterile brightness of the hospital room. The soft hum of machines and the faint beep of his heart monitor filled the air, grounding him in a reality he had been absent from for months. Everything felt surreal, like waking from a dream he couldn’t quite remember. He blinked, struggling to focus, his mind foggy, memories distant and disjointed.

A soft voice caught his attention. “David? Can you hear me?”

He turned his head slowly, and there she was—Mary Margaret, standing beside his bed, her eyes wide with concern and relief. She had been by his side, visiting every day, even though they had never truly met before his accident. Something about her felt familiar, though he couldn’t place it. She wasn’t just a nurse, though that was how she had introduced herself. There was a deeper connection, something unspoken between them.

“Mary Margaret…” David's voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper, but it made her smile, that gentle, reassuring smile that always made the room feel a little warmer.

“You’re awake,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion. “We were so worried.”

David nodded slightly, his mind trying to piece together the fragmented thoughts swirling in his head. His body ached, but more than that, his heart felt heavy, as if something was missing. Then, in a sudden rush, flashes of memory came back to him—his fiancée, Kathryn. They were engaged. He had been with her for years, hadn’t he? The thought of her brought a flicker of guilt.

Kathryn had visited him too, he was sure of it. She must have, but in this moment, all he could think about was Mary Margaret. Her presence felt comforting, calming, and real in a way that nothing else did.

“Where’s… Kathryn?” David asked, his brow furrowing.

Mary Margaret's smile faltered just a bit, though she recovered quickly. “She’s been here too, of course. But… I’ve been here more often.” She hesitated before adding, “She cares about you a lot.”

David felt a wave of confusion wash over him. Kathryn. Mary Margaret. His head ached from the whirlwind of thoughts, but one thing stood out, clear and undeniable: the more time he spent with Mary Margaret, the more he felt drawn to her. She was always there, always caring, and always present in a way that Kathryn wasn’t. He remembered vague moments during his coma—dreamlike conversations, and fleeting feelings—and in all of them, Mary Margaret had been the anchor that kept him from drifting away.

As the days passed, David’s strength returned, but so did his confusion. His feelings for Mary Margaret were growing stronger, even though his engagement to Kathryn loomed over him like a dark cloud. He knew it wasn’t fair to Kathryn, but with Mary Margaret, everything felt easy, natural. She understood him in ways he couldn’t explain. There was an unspoken bond between them, as if they were meant to be.

One evening, after his physical therapy session, David found himself alone with Mary Margaret in his hospital room. The sun was setting, casting a soft golden light across the room. The air was heavy with something unspoken, a tension neither of them could ignore any longer.

“Mary Margaret…” David began, unsure of how to even approach the subject. His heart was racing.

“Yes?” she asked, her eyes locking with his, filled with that same warmth that had pulled him back to consciousness.

“I don’t know how to say this, but…” He hesitated, struggling to find the right words. “Ever since I woke up, I’ve felt… different. Not just physically, but emotionally. I don’t know if it’s the coma or the fact that everything feels like it’s been reset, but…” He took a deep breath. “I feel something for you. Something I can’t explain.”

Her eyes widened slightly, and for a moment, she was speechless. Then, she looked down, her cheeks flushing with a mix of emotion. “David, you’re engaged. Kathryn—she loves you.”

“I know,” David said quickly, his voice filled with regret. “I know she does. And I care about her, but what I feel for you… it’s different. It feels right.”

Mary Margaret shook her head, a tear slipping down her cheek. “This isn’t fair to any of us.”

David reached out, gently taking her hand. “I don’t know what’s fair anymore. All I know is that when I look at you, I feel alive. I don’t want to hurt Kathryn, but I can’t ignore this.”

For a moment, the world outside the room disappeared. It was just the two of them, trapped in this impossible situation, torn between loyalty and undeniable feelings.

Mary Margaret finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. “I feel it too, David. I’ve felt it since the day you woke up. But I don’t know if that’s enough.”

David squeezed her hand, his eyes searching hers. “Maybe it is.”

As they stood there, uncertain of the future, one thing was clear: David’s heart was no longer bound to the life he had before the coma. It had found something new, something he hadn’t been looking for—but now that it was here, he couldn’t let it go.

BELLE IS TAKEN BY L.

Belle has been sent to an asylum in Storybrooke, as the curse hits for the Enchanted Forest. She believes she has been there for several years as her only memories consist of the four walls and one window. She longs for her freedom, dreams about it and tries to stop anyone walking by her cell to ask for answers and yet none come.

She's in search for Rumple but she doesn't know it yet. She's a girl who dreams of true love, hope, happiness and a chipped cup. She's starting to believe that she may never get out of this cell, and at this point all she longs for is someone to talk to and answers to her questions.

EMMA IS TAKEN BY L.

Emma grew up going from foster care family to foster care family. She never truly felt like she was loved or that she had anyone on her side, as it was, if she did anything the family didn't like, they'd just send her somewhere else, right? She grew a pretty cold wall over her heart over the years and it is nearly impossible to even put a dent in that wall, though few have tried.

When we meet Emma she's celebrating her 28th birthday by herself, until 10 year old Henry knocks on her door. She's suddenly met with the baby she gave up when she was only 18 years old.. and in prison. She's somewhat changed her life for the better since then but Henry convinces her to come back to Storybrooke, Main, where she is "the savior" meant to bring back the happy endings.

Sounds absolutely insane, right? But she's worried about Henry, so, Storybrooke here she comes.

KILLIAN JONES is TAKEN by ADMIN NAOMI

Killian Jones is a man shaped by a complex past, now serving as the strict but caring headmaster of an orphanage called "The Lost Boys." Located in the heart of Storybrooke, the orphanage has become a sanctuary for children who have been forgotten or abandoned, many of whom have stumbled upon this mystical land through extraordinary means. Though the children come from various backgrounds, they share a common experience of having lost their way in life, making "The Lost Boys" a place of refuge, guidance, and discipline.

Killian, often referred to as "Captain" by the children, is a man of deep principles. He is known for his strict rules and structured environment, believing that discipline is essential in a world as wild and unpredictable as Storybrooke. While his demeanor may come across as stern, especially to newcomers, there’s an undeniable sense of compassion beneath his gruff exterior. He strives to teach the boys not only how to survive but how to grow into honorable men.

Jones’ backstory is one of hardship and transformation. He was once a pirate, sailing the seas in search of adventure and treasure. However, after losing someone close to him, he left his old life behind and stumbled upon storybrooke, where he found a new purpose. The orphanage started as a way to give the lost children of the world a home, to help them find their place and avoid the mistakes he once made.

However, not all of the boys are easy to handle. Killian’s greatest challenge comes in the form of Peter Pan, a mischievous and rebellious boy who never seems to obey the rules. Peter is everything that Killian once was—wild, free-spirited, and uninterested in authority. The two frequently clash, with Peter constantly stirring up trouble, whether it's leading the other boys in secret escapades or devising grand schemes that threaten the order Killian has worked so hard to establish.

Despite the tension between them, Killian can't help but feel a certain fondness for Peter. He sees in the boy a reflection of his younger self and is determined to steer him away from the destructive path he once followed. But Peter, with his natural charisma and charm, often manages to rally the other boys around him, turning their quiet nights into chaotic adventures. This creates a dynamic where Killian is constantly balancing his need to maintain order and his desire to give the boys the freedom to explore their imaginations and spirits.

Killian’s journey as the head of "The Lost Boys" is one of redemption. Though he often feels burdened by the responsibility of raising so many troubled boys, he knows that he is giving them something that was once denied to him—a second chance. He remains hopeful that, despite the constant antics of Peter Pan and the challenges that come with running an orphanage in a ordinary world, he can guide his boys toward a better future.

And perhaps, just maybe, he can reach Peter Pan before it’s too late.
