#Muse: Emma

[jacks-muses]

Continued from Here @deandrowningdemons

Emma waited outside as Dean and Sam went into the house. A gun shot rang out and she couldn't help the sinking feeling in her gut.

It wasn't long before the rest of the house was up and attacking Sam and Dean all except one, her mother who made her way outside rage on her face.

"you! I knew you were a worthless traitor, we should have destroyed you" she says pulling out a knife and leaping at Emma. Emma pulled out her own knife to defend herself. Emma begged and pleaded not wanting to fight her own mother but her mother wouldn't listen and Sam and Dean came out of the house just in time to see a tearful and banged up Emma thrust the knife into her moms heart killing her. She got up slowly looking at Sam and Dean who were standing in front of a house full of her dead sisters and Aunts and she dropped the knife running off into the woods. She stopped when she reached the flowing creek and curled up on a rock near the waters edge sobbing

A Night in Rome

Far on the other side of the world stands the ancient city of Rome. Even there, the supernatural refuses to rest. For it is now feeding time…

Two Italian police officers rested their rifles on the side of the small residence that they were using for quarters. They gambled with what little money they had on hand. There was the thick smell of cigar and cheap booze filling the room. These were a golden gift that they were given by a young woman. These men felt that maybe for once they would be safe from whatever supposed monster that was dwelling in the city. They had no desire to be here in the first place anyways, there were always better things to waste their time on.

Bang Bang

The police didn't even bother to react. The mob was acting up again with the reports of monsters. Not their issue.

However, there was a noise that drew their attention in the almost empty halls. It sounded like wind blowing through a window. However, there were none present.

The two men then saw strange shadows move. Human instinct kicked in. The were being watched by something other than human.

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

Their hearts start pounding. They are hardened veterans of war and something is not right. Shadows move once again. The soldiers grab their rifles once again. They don’t know what is in their very room.

It is the vampire the Church has labeled Solomon.

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

“È così!?” One of them shouted.

All they heard was laughing. It will be the last memory they ever had.

Splat

“Fresh blood…..It has been far too long. That annoying little wolf keeps ruining my meals.”

A silver haired woman then smiled, as she picked up one of the policemen's’ absent head. The crimson blood dripped down the mouth of the woman, as she enjoyed her feast.

Meanwhile, Emma retained her focus on a magical girl with wolf. So many mysteries in terms of a magical girl being akin to a werewolf. This magical girl was something that interested Emma the most.

Emma was then going to speak….

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

Tamara, the magical girl, then grabbed her chest. Something wasn’t right this night; a supernatural death had occurred. It felt as if her heart was on fire. Her fist clenched even tighter as Emma started to focus on her. Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead. Her eyes slowly changed from their deep blue, to a hue of yellow.

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

“Exc---Excuse me…” Tamara mentioned as she more or less barged towards the doors. She nearly plowed several other Flowers off of their seat.

She was now in the halls. Her teeth were now clenching together. She had fled to conceal her feral nature from the Flowers. Her wish was to get revenge on the vampires that had drained her family. The faye that recruited her assumed the mind of a hunter was just the thing! It would make Tamara adorable and strong like a wolf!

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

Her heart beat continued to increase. She stumbled on her feet, as if she were drunk. Her wolf senses were kicking in. The desire to protect her family. She could smell the vampires

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

“Pygmalion…You…”

Tamara was now breathing heavily. Her thoughts were all blurring together into one single thought: Destruction.

TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP TA-DUMP. TA-DUMP

“HAHAHA! I WILL FIND YOUR CREATIONS, YOUR DAMNED VAMPIRES!”

Her heart sounded as if it was going to burst out of her chest. Then with a haunting laugh, she leapt from the ground level of the Flowers Headquarters under the silver light of the moon. Tamara was on the hunt…..

The night time air seemed to say at this time: “Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.”

Thus another monkey's paw for one blessed by a miracle.

Wen Ning sat down once the floor is clear. "I think I know what I want." He answered softly and points to everything he wants. It's not a lot but it'll satisfy him. "And, a water please."

Emma went behind the main counter and over to the sink before washing her hands. Once they were dry she headed back over to the table where the other had seated. "Have you had enough to look over the menu? If not, I can come back in a couple minutes."

Defending the castle like a man...

I've just read this article : Defending the castle like a man: on belligerent medieval ladies.

One of my friend is practicing HEMA (historical european martial art) as well as forging. We speak often about it and I have many question, mostly because of my main character in my medieval romance. As in forging, strength is not all in fighting. Know how to do it and practicing is first and foremost (she is smaller and thinner than me. she can wield swords that I cannot lift).

She reads lots of things about medieval warfare and we have discussion about it, and more recently because of my main character in my medieval romance. She had send me this article. And while reading it, I thought about some of my mutuals and the quite recent discussion about Eowyn and Théoden. So this is for you : @torchwood-99 , @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras , @konartiste. @errruvande I thought about you as there is a good reference about Alfred's daughter.

Reading this, I thought about Théoden. Rohan seems to have a certain history of female fighters. Shieldmaiden is not a name coming out of nowhere. So... what led Rohan to, seemingly, forget about this role? When did it happen?

In this article, there are a lot of example of women who did fight in war and defend their territory. It seems there are more and more proof of that. Even more, it seems women were actually expected to know at least how to defend their castle and lands. "Do as their husband do". So they had to know how to fight or at least strategies and siege... And some knew how to use bows, crossbows and even swords. Still, they had been, most of the time, erased or played down.

It is not said if this erasing was all along or more recent, as it is noted that those women of war were common up until the 14th centuries. In any case, they existed, but in later ages, it was inconvenient for men to have their female kin show "men's virtue".

Did something equivalent happened in Rohan? Why would something like this would happen? I would be the first to say "Oh it's all Saruman/Grima's fault". But no. Theoden do not think of sending Eowyn to war. He does not even have the reflex to think about her as a leader for his people. if it had been Grima and/or Saruman, he would have think about it.

Could it be his gondorian upbringing? After all he grew up in Gondor, had a gondorian mother? Thengel did not seem to held his countries culture in high regard. So, could it be this? Or even before that?

In my glèomenn fanfic, Tirwald said it was legends and old story. Could it be even older? Something more recent, linked to another culture?

So... What do you think?

She sighs a moment as she looks around. Japan had become unfamiliar to her in her time in America, and with how large the cities were with the sheer amount of people, it was only natural she was going to get lost.

"What to do... was it... no, that just leads me back... ugh, I should really fire that driver. This is the third time already..."

[coreofgold]

"Do you teach people how to do that?" Kili investigates the lock before opening the door. He'd love to learn and show his brother and uncle what he learned.

(¸.• ♛ → the blonde looked at him with a small shrug. "i guess years of practice." when she was younger of course, but now it was useful. "but now we can go out at least."

About Emma Swan

[testing, low activity because I'm nearly all written-out] fc: Jennifer Morrison Open to: Killian Jones, David Nolan and Mary Margaret.

Canon divergences:

The damage done by the system, by her terrible life before getting to Storybrooke and the traumas she lived there as well have changed her personality from the one in the show to a less socially adapted, more emotion-driven one (as in she may snap at her parents too, at first, because overwhelmed, and she will call people out regardless of who they are, she clearly has no healthy routine/eating habits/sleeping habits).

It was very implied if not shown that she was severely abused in the system by foster parents who took in children just to get the money that comes from it, she chose to be homeless as a pre-teen/in her early teens and was only convinced by August to walk back into the system, she was back to homeless by age 16. Her life in general is a disaster in too many ways to count, constant abandonment and betrayals, there is not ONE relationship in her life, whether friendly or romantic, in which she's not backstabbed or left behind/abandoned for the first 28 years of her life and I believe it's only due to the show magic that she's not beyond help at this point, it's just not realistic otherwise, especially adding the traumas after she comes to Storybrooke, and that also means that her need to run away from commitment doesn't leave as quickly as it did in canon BUT nor does her desperate need to be close to her family, to have that love she always wanted, because Emma blatantly never fully gave up on it. Keep in mind that even villains in OUAT have known love, have been loved by at least one parent or sibling or romantic partner, Emma had none of that (that she knew of).

Her instincts drive her to be the romantic unrealistic fairy tale princess she was meant to be, and that is also shown when she basically acts like a cute fairy tale princess even while homeless, simply because she found Neal and she thinks they'll be family: princess-y cute dresses, happy, hopeful, domestic, despite literally sleeping in a car. But all of her traumas fight against those instincts.

-Which is also why once she and Killian start seeing each other she'll tell him a LOT about her past, if only to explain why she can't control the urge to pull back every now and then, to run, to be unnecessarily snappy. Up to you how Killian will react to it, given that in canon she was quickly softened by their relationship but also didn't share right away (even if he did see through her early on).

Here to write canon divergent ways for her to fall in love with Hook or more about their domestic time, AND different ways for the lost girl to get closer to her parents while still so traumatized.

She will never be friends with Regina but feel forced to play nice to keep the town safe, and she will be far more defensive/angry about Neal and what he did to her, while they’ll still co-parent until his death: let's not forget that regardless of his reasons she spent years thinking that he must have used her, tricked her and left her to take the fall while he kept the money (also confirmed by the fact that that's the version of the story she gives Henry in New York when her memories are rewritten). If we write that Gold followed canon in the background she also hates him to death from the moment he enslaved Killian regardless of the context (and tried to kill them both soon after). This has nothing to do with my enjoyment of Rumple/Gold as a character, and other muses of mine would be open to him. This is CHARACTER based, as in I cannot imagine Emma forgiving him after he took Killian's heart, much less trusting him anywhere near her family, and being sort of forced by circumstances to let Henry see him both because Henry would see him anyway and to avoid an actual war. She's also very hurt/disgusted by Walsh, considering the two SLEPT TOGETHER, planned a LIFE TOGETHER, while he was simply keeping an eye on her, ready to kill her for the Wicked Witch. Any joke about it will be met with pain and disgust.

The events of Dark One Emma can be entirely rewritten or left the way they are, but she will be absolutely hurt and angry by her family being so hostile and distrusting, regardless of them being right or not, while letting Regina and Gold participate in the 'what do we do now' discussions; she would have been far more like the Emma who questioned Regina about her past and any attempt from Regina/Gold to judge her would be met with instant aggression and a list of crimes they committed. She doesn't regret anything, as it is exactly what her parents and everyone else would have done and have done for their true loves all the time: trusting that things would work out even if there was a huge risk.

AMBIKA MOD as Emma Morley

ONE DAY (2024)

[pragmaticroyal]

The irritating blonde had been the bane of her existence since Henry had brought her to Storybrooke. Regina had tried her hardest to hate her, loathe her, and seek to get rid of the blonde. But the more Emma Swan stuck around and put her nose into things she shouldn't, Regina found that she couldn't wait to see what the blonde did next. Though ending her curse was not what she was expecting, it had happened and found that she was glad to have her stay around.

Years went by sharing Henry with her, even if it meant Henry disliked Regina and wanted to live with Emma. It hurt more that she imagined, but Regina knew Henry would be safe with Emma and her annoying family. They continued to go on adventure after adventure together but no matter what anyone said in the shadows, Regina would never want to admit, she was falling for the irritating blonde.
